You can't, unless:

  1) Every thread is system scope; or
  2) You use libthr where every thread maps 1:1 to a kernel thread

Even then, I don't know whether CPU usage is maintained correctly
yet by the kernel for a multi-threaded process.  Someone has been
working on it recently.

Libpthread is M:N by default, so the kernel doesn't know about
userland threads.
