Overview
A file containing kernel/system statistics. All counters are computed from the last boot.

"cpu" lines contain a list of values representing the amount of time, measured in units of USER_HZ that the system spent in various states. There is a cumulative "cpu" statistics line and immediately after it, lines containing the same values for each processor available in the system ("cpu0", "cpu1", etc.).
- user - time in USER_HZ units spent executing code in user mode. Also see cgroups cpuacct.stat user time.
- nice - time in USER_HZ units spent in user mode with low priority (nice).
- system - time in USER_HZ units spent in system mode: kernel executing system calls on behalf of processes. Also see cgroups cpuacct.stat system time.
- idle - time in USER_HZ units spent in idle mode. This value should be USER_HZ times the second entry in /proc/uptime.
- iowait - time in USER_HZ units processes are waiting for I/O to complete. The CPU will not wait for IO, it will be schedule onto another task or will enter idle state. When a CPU goes into idle state for outstanding task I/O, another task will be scheduled on this CPU. On a multi-core CPU, the task waiting for I/O to complete is not running on any CPU, so the iowait of each CPU is difficult to calculate.
- irq - time in USER_HZ units spent servicing hardware interrupts.
- softirq - time in USER_HZ units spent servicing softirqs.
- steal - time in USER_HZ units spent in other operating systems when running in a virtualized environment. More details: Steal Time.
- guest - time in USER_HZ units spent running a virtual CPU for guest operating systems under the control of the Linux kernel.
- guest_nice - time in USER_HZ units spent running a niced guest (virtual CPU for guest operating systems under the control of the Linux kernel).
page
page number-of-pages-paged-in number-of-pages-paged-out
The "page" line contains the number of pages the system paged in and the number that were paged out (from disk).

The "swap" line contains the number of swap pages that have been brought in and out.
intr

The "into" line shows counts of interrupts serviced since boot time, for each of the possible system interrupts. The first column is the total of all interrupts serviced including unnumbered architecture specific interrupts. Each subsequent column is the total for that particular numbered interrupt.
