Same problem here on 32 bit current git kernel, 8 cpus machine.

If load is large enough to trigger ksoftirqd, then softirq time is correctly reported.

commit 79741dd35713ff4f6fd0eafd59fa94e8a4ba922d did :
void account_process_tick(struct task_struct *p, int user_tick)
{
cputime_t one_jiffy = jiffies_to_cputime(1);
cputime_t one_jiffy_scaled = cputime_to_scaled(one_jiffy);
struct rq *rq = this_rq();
if (user_tick)
account_user_time(p, one_jiffy, one_jiffy_scaled);
else if (p != rq->idle)
account_system_time(p, HARDIRQ_OFFSET, one_jiffy,
one_jiffy_scaled);
else
account_idle_time(one_jiffy);
}
So, if IRQs are interrupting idle task, I guess if (p != rq->idle) will be false.
