The kernel utilization metric does multiplexing currently and is somewhat
unreliable. The problem is that it uses two instances of the fixed counter,
and the kernel has to multipleplex which causes errors. So should use
CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD instead.
Before:
# perf stat -M Kernel_Utilization -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
1,419,425 cpu_clk_unhalted.ref_tsc:k
<not counted> cpu_clk_unhalted.ref_tsc (0.00%)
After:
# perf stat -M Kernel_Utilization -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
746,688 cpu_clk_unhalted.thread:k # 0.7 Kernel_Utilization
1,088,348 cpu_clk_unhalted.thread
