| 2 | The struct taskstats
|
| 3 | ====================
|
| 4 |
|
| 5 | This document contains an explanation of the struct taskstats fields.
|
| 6 |
|
| 7 | There are three different groups of fields in the struct taskstats:
|
| 8 |
|
| 9 | 1) Common and basic accounting fields
|
| 10 | If CONFIG_TASKSTATS is set, the taskstats interface is enabled and
|
| 11 | the common fields and basic accounting fields are collected for
|
| 12 | delivery at do_exit() of a task.
|
| 13 | 2) Delay accounting fields
|
| 14 | These fields are placed between::
|
| 15 |
|
| 16 | /* Delay accounting fields start */
|
| 17 |
|
| 18 | and::
|
| 19 |
|
| 20 | /* Delay accounting fields end */
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 | Their values are collected if CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT is set.
|
| 23 | 3) Extended accounting fields
|
| 24 | These fields are placed between::
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 | /* Extended accounting fields start */
|
| 27 |
|
| 28 | and::
|
| 29 |
|
| 30 | /* Extended accounting fields end */
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 | Their values are collected if CONFIG_TASK_XACCT is set.
|
| 33 |
|
| 34 | 4) Per-task and per-thread context switch count statistics
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 | 5) Time accounting for SMT machines
|
| 37 |
|
| 38 | 6) Extended delay accounting fields for memory reclaim
|
| 39 |
|
| 40 | Future extension should add fields to the end of the taskstats struct, and
|
| 41 | should not change the relative position of each field within the struct.
