Some of the CPU Metrics being reported on Linux are being incorrectly reported on some Linux distributions. The cpu metrics listed below are being referenced via the cpuacct subsystem. This works in most cases due to the fact that the cpuacct and cpu subsystems are symbolically linked to the same directory. This is not the case on all Linux distributions.

The configuration where Is first discovered this problem running docker on a Mac and
running a Linux container under docker.

A suggested fix is listed below:
