What does 'cycle number' even mean on a modern machine where different instructions take a different number of cycles and the CPU clock speed itself may vary over time?

System FreeBSD.
Issue: I see that system idle = 0% in the same time top and other commands show that all process eat 0% of cpu.
System calls 98%
CPU states: 7.9% user, 0.0% nice, 91.8% system,<==!!!
But top does not show any process which eats more than 0%

Hi all,
When I have a below while loop in my code (This observation is same for C and Perl)
i= 0;

On one of my Solaris 10 box, CPU usage shows 100% using "sar", "vmstat". However, it has 4 CPUs and prstat and glance are not showing enough processes to justify high CPU utilization.

papi_epc
PAPI_epc(3) PAPI PAPI_epc(3)
NAME
PAPI_epc -
Simplified call to get arbitrary events per cycle, real and processor time.
SYNOPSIS
Detailed Description
C Interface:
#include <papi.h>
int PAPI_epc( int event, float *rtime, float *ptime, long long *ref, long long *core, long long *evt, float *epc );
Parameters:
event event code to be measured (0 defaults to PAPI_TOT_INS)
*rtime total realtime since the first call
*ptime total process time since the first call
*ref incremental reference clock cycles since the last call
*core incremental core clock cycles since the last call
*evt total events since the first call
*epc incremental events per cycle since the last call
Return values:
PAPI_EINVAL The counters were already started by something other than PAPI_epc().
PAPI_ENOEVNT One of the requested events does not exist.
PAPI_ENOMEM Insufficient memory to complete the operation.
The first call to PAPI_epc() will initialize the PAPI High Level interface, set up the counters to monitor the user specified event,
PAPI_TOT_CYC, and PAPI_REF_CYC (if it exists) and start the counters.
Subsequent calls will read the counters and return total real time, total process time, total event counts since the start of the
measurement and the core and reference cycle count and EPC rate since the latest call to PAPI_epc().
A call to PAPI_stop_counters() will stop the counters from running and then calls such as PAPI_start_counters() or other rate calls can
safely be used.
PAPI_epc can provide a more detailed look at algorithm efficiency in light of clock variability in modern cpus. MFLOPS is no longer an
adequate description of peak performance if clock rates can arbitrarily speed up or slow down. By allowing a user specified event and
reporting reference cycles, core cycles and real time, PAPI_epc provides the information to compute an accurate effective clock rate, and
an accurate measure of computational throughput.
