我在 cent os 5.3 和 cent os 6.3 上编译以下代码：
#include <pthread.h>
#include <list>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
pthread_mutex_t _mutex;
pthread_spinlock_t spinlock;
list<int *> _task_list;
void * run(void*);
int main()
{
int worker_num = 3;
pthread_t pids[worker_num];
pthread_mutex_init(&_mutex, NULL);
for (int worker_i = 0; worker_i < worker_num; ++worker_i)
{
pthread_create(&(pids[worker_i]), NULL, run, NULL);
}
sleep(14);
}
void *run(void * args)
{
int *recved_info;
long long start;
while (true)
{
pthread_mutex_lock(&_mutex);
if (_task_list.empty())
{
recved_info = 0;
}
else
{
recved_info = _task_list.front();
_task_list.pop_front();
}
pthread_mutex_unlock(&_mutex);
if (recved_info == 0)
{
int f = usleep(1);
continue;
}
}
}
在5.3上运行时，你甚至找不到上面的进程，CPU使用率在0%左右。但在 Cent os 6.3 上，在 4 核 cpu 上使用 6 个线程时，效率约为 20%。
所以我检查 a.outtime and stace，结果大约是：
On 5.3:
real 0m14.003s
user 0m0.001s
sys 0m0.001s
On 6.3:
real 0m14.002s
user 0m1.484s
sys 0m1.160s

时间和strace结果不是同一个测试，所以数据有点不同。但我认为它可以展示一些东西。
我检查内核配置 CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS、CONFIG_HPET 和 CONFIG_HZ：
On 5.3:
$ cat /boot/config-`uname -r` |grep CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS
$ cat /boot/config-`uname -r` |grep CONFIG_HPET
CONFIG_HPET_TIMER=y
CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC=y
CONFIG_HPET=y
# CONFIG_HPET_RTC_IRQ is not set
# CONFIG_HPET_MMAP is not set
$ cat /boot/config-`uname -r` |grep CONFIG_HZ
# CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set
# CONFIG_HZ_250 is not set
CONFIG_HZ_1000=y
CONFIG_HZ=1000
On 6.3:
$ cat /boot/config-`uname -r` |grep CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS
CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y
$ cat /boot/config-`uname -r` |grep CONFIG_HPET
CONFIG_HPET_TIMER=y
CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC=y
CONFIG_HPET=y
CONFIG_HPET_MMAP=y
$ cat /boot/config-`uname -r` |grep CONFIG_HZ
# CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set
# CONFIG_HZ_250 is not set
# CONFIG_HZ_300 is not set
CONFIG_HZ_1000=y
CONFIG_HZ=1000
事实上，我也在ARM和xubuntu13.04-amd64-desktop上尝试了arch上的代码，与cent os 6.3相同。
那么我该如何找出CPU使用率不同的原因呢？
它与内核配置有什么关系吗？
