[SailfishDevel] Kernel bug in /proc/stat

There seems to be a kernel bug in the latest official release of Sailfish
OS on the Jolla phone.

The /proc/stat numbers for CPUs should never decrease but with higher CPU
activity, e.g. when moving around the screen, the iowait and idle
indicators jump down, then go back up when the activity stops.

The jumps are substantial and cause all CPU tracking programs and apps to
malfunction. top for example reports 2700% cpu usage at times.

Is this a known issue?

P.S.: sorry if this was double-posted, I sent this as the 1st message to
get into the mailing list and thought it wasn't really sent into the list
before I registered.
