Unfortunately no: soft lockup watchdog does not measure time based on sched_clock but on hrtimer interrupt count :-( (see the the softlockup code in question, perhaps you can point to something that i'm missing). BTW, are you OK with printing additional steal time information? https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/27/755 > This meets my expectations.
