Subject: [PATCH] Performance Stats: Kernel patch

From: Maxim Uvarov <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 22 May 2007 17:19:52 +0000

Hello Andrew,

Sorry for bothering you. I know you are very busy but could 
you please tell me what is situation of this patch? You wrote 
me you'll discuss  it with someone about it and say can it be 
accepted or not and in which form.  As I understand the 
situation all problems now are in syscall counter.  What 
about other counters?

I changed headers and re-resent patch as you asked. Are there any new?

If it could be accepted I can do fast syscalls  counting  too.

Thank you very much,
Maxim.

Patch makes available to the user the following
task and process performance statistics:
	* Involuntary Context Switches (task_struct->nivcsw)
	* Voluntary Context Switches (task_struct->nvcsw)
	* Number of system calls (added new counter
	  thread_info->sysall_count)
	           
Statistics information is available from:
        1. taskstats interface (Documentation/accounting/)
	2. /proc/PID/status (task only).

This data is useful for detecting hyperactivity
patterns between processes.
