1==================== 2The struct taskstats 3==================== 4 5This document contains an explanation of the struct taskstats fields. 6 7There are three different groups of fields in the struct taskstats: 8 91) 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. 132) 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. 233) 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. 33 344) Per-task and per-thread context switch count statistics 35 365) Time accounting for SMT machines 37 386) Extended delay accounting fields for memory reclaim 39 40Future extension should add fields to the end of the taskstats struct, and 41should not change the relative position of each field within the struct. 42 43:: 44 45 struct taskstats { 46 471) Common and basic accounting fields:: 48 49 /* The version number of this struct.
