When you run podman stats, the first interval always shows the wrong cpu usage. To calculate cpu percentage we get the cpu time from the cgroup and compare this against the system time between two stats. Since the first time we do not have a previous stats an empty struct is used instead. Thus we do not use the actual running time of the container but the current unix timestamp (time since Jan 1 1970). To fix this we make sure that the previous stats time is set to the container start time, when it is empty. [NO NEW TESTS NEEDED] No idea how I could create a test which would have a predictable cpu usage. See the linked bugzilla for a reproducer.

We can just calculate the cpu percent for the time the container is running. There is no need to use datapoints. Signed-off-by: Paul Holzinger <[email protected]>
