procstat returns the statistics of a process. It will tell you what files it has open, what sockets it has open, what address space it is using, command line arguments, file descriptor information, stacks of the kernel threads in the process, security credentials information from the process, thread information and virtual memory mappings, etc. That's incredibly useful, but I don't see it able to show the processors, their loads. With all of the MP work on the kernel, I would have thought that mpstat would be there. It must be the counters are STILL not there. mpstat in concert with procstat, would allow FreeBSD to leverage performance tools on par with those available for Linux, Solaris, and Windows.
For FreeBSD 8, we are talking sometime in 2009 at the earliest. I was hoping for something I could use in 7. Worse, I don't see mpstat planned for 8. I really hope I'm missing something.
