Title:
  cpu usage does not match sum of per-process usage

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 12.04.  Already tested with kernel 3.10 as well.

  Steps:
  1 Get on a system with 2 cpus, netperf and top installed (need m1.medium)
  2. Stop already running netserver
  3. sudo taskset -c 0 netserver
  4. taskset -c 1 netperf -H localhost -l 3600 -t TCP_RR & (start netperf with priority on cpu1)
  5. Run top, press 1 for multiple CPUs to be separated
  6. Observe how the numbers don't add up (varies between being off by 3-7% or so) between the process's numbers and the CPU%

  The numbers also do not add up correctly when viewed directly from /proc
  Bonus. Run htop to see a completely different set of seemingly wrong results.
