Title:
  Header cpu %'s don't match reality or per-process usage

Status in procps package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The header of top (i.e the part that looks as below) is frequently
  reporting unlikely result.  With high load it is reporting mostly
  idle, even though the per-process cpu usage is reporting multiple
  processes with 100% and one with 200% cpu usage on a multicore
  machine.

  The numbers don't make sense and don't match the kind of numbers
  reported in trusty.

  There is clearly some funkiness in what the header is reporting.

  top - 22:14:53 up  8:31,  2 users,  load average: 4.39, 4.79, 5.07
  Tasks: 323 total,   2 running, 321 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
  %Cpu(s): 33.9 us,  4.4 sy,  0.0 ni, 61.5 id,  0.0 wa,  0.0 hi,  0.1 si,  0.0 st
