Screenshot? My version of htop does not show stalls. The only top I've seen that uses PMCs is tiptop.

htop should add PMC support, and a lot more things too. I might even start using it then. :)




It's steal, not stall - time "stolen" by the hypervisor, i.e. when you have runnable threads but the CPU is busy servicing other VMs. This can lead to stalling of your software, I guess, but it has nothing to do with instruction stalls.


htop, at least in the version I'm using, only shows steal if it's non-zero.
