Hi all!

I've been using Liquorix kernels for some time, and never had any major issues with them. But I noticed today the loadavg count is broken, is it a known issue? It shows all zeroes when it clearly shouldn't (I'm compiling stuff and my two cores are pretty much maxed out)

$ cat /proc/loadavg
0.00 0.00 0.00 4/386 26935
$ uname -a
Linux laptop 3.4.0-1.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64 #1 ZEN SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 5 00:36:07 CDT 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux


I'm using Debian, but I doubt the distro or anything on userspace would affect the loadavg in such a way. If you need any other system details let me know :)

This appears to be a known bug with BFS:

:: Code ::
<damentz> damentz@damentz64:~$ cat /proc/loadavg
<damentz> 0.00 0.00 0.00 1/433 3383
<damentz> damentz@damentz64:~$ dmesg | grep BFS
<damentz> BFS CPU scheduler v0.422 by Con Kolivas.
<damentz> looks like something is wrong with the load average in bfs 422
<ssb> known bug


From #ck @ irc.oftc.net. I'll follow-up and see if I can get more updates whenever Con becomes available.

EDIT: More updates, take a look at this: lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/10/4.

It's been fixed on 423 apparently :)

This will be in the next kernel package.
