Solaris sar %sys cpu high

How to find out which pid is consuming %usr kernel cpu resources
#prstat -m
eg.
$ prstat -m

For solaris 10 can use dtrace, see example below

On with the show: let's say you're looking at mpstat(1) output on your
multiuser server. You might see something like this:

CPU minf mjf xcal intr ithr csw icsw migr smtx srw syscl usr sys wt idl
12 1 27 3504 338 206 765 27 114 65 1 337 9 19 41 31

23 0 6 12119 33 3 874 20 82 384 1 513 4 24 11 62

And well you may wonder (as perhaps you often have) -- what the hell is
causing all of those cross calls, anyway? (Cross calls appear in the "xcal"
column; see mpstat(1).)

Using DTrace, investigating this is a snap:

# dtrace -n xcalls'{@[execname] = count()}'
dtrace: description 'xcalls' matched 4 probes
