The struct taskstats
--------------------

This document contains an explanation of the struct taskstats fields.

There are three different groups of fields in the struct taskstats:

1) Common and basic accounting fields
    If CONFIG_TASKSTATS is set, the taskstats inteface is enabled and
    the common fields and basic accounting fields are collected for
    delivery at do_exit() of a task.
2) Delay accounting fields
    These fields are placed between
    /* Delay accounting fields start */
    and
    /* Delay accounting fields end */
    Their values are collected if CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT is set.
3) Extended accounting fields
    These fields are placed between
    /* Extended accounting fields start */
    and
    /* Extended accounting fields end */
    Their values are collected if CONFIG_TASK_XACCT is set.

4) Per-task and per-thread context switch count statistics

Future extension should add fields to the end of the taskstats struct, and
should not change the relative position of each field within the struct.


struct taskstats {

1) Common and basic accounting fields:
	/* The version number of this struct. This field is always set to
	 * TAKSTATS_VERSION, which is defined in <linux/taskstats.h>.
	 * Each time the struct is changed, the value should be incremented.
	 */
	__u16	version;

  	/* The exit code of a task. */
	__u32	ac_exitcode;		/* Exit status */

  	/* The accounting flags of a task as defined in <linux/acct.h>
	 * Defined values are AFORK, ASU, ACOMPAT, ACORE, and AXSIG.
	 */
	__u8	ac_flag;		/* Record flags */

  	/* The value of task_nice() of a task. */
	__u8	ac_nice;		/* task_nice */

  	/* The name of the command that started this task. */
	char	ac_comm[TS_COMM_LEN];	/* Command name */

  	/* The scheduling discipline as set in task->policy field. */
	__u8	ac_sched;		/* Scheduling discipline */

	__u8	ac_pad[3];
	__u32	ac_uid;			/* User ID */
	__u32	ac_gid;			/* Group ID */
	__u32	ac_pid;			/* Process ID */
	__u32	ac_ppid;		/* Parent process ID */

  	/* The time when a task begins, in [secs] since 1970. */
	__u32	ac_btime;		/* Begin time [sec since 1970] */

  	/* The elapsed time of a task, in [usec]. */
	__u64	ac_etime;		/* Elapsed time [usec] */

  	/* The user CPU time of a task, in [usec]. */
	__u64	ac_utime;		/* User CPU time [usec] */

  	/* The system CPU time of a task, in [usec]. */
	__u64	ac_stime;		/* System CPU time [usec] */

  	/* The minor page fault count of a task, as set in task->min_flt. */
	__u64	ac_minflt;		/* Minor Page Fault Count */

	/* The major page fault count of a task, as set in task->maj_flt. */
	__u64	ac_majflt;		/* Major Page Fault Count */


2) Delay accounting fields:
	/* Delay accounting fields start
	 *
	 * All values, until the comment "Delay accounting fields end" are
	 * available only if delay accounting is enabled, even though the last
	 * few fields are not delays
	 *
	 * xxx_count is the number of delay values recorded
	 * xxx_delay_total is the corresponding cumulative delay in nanoseconds
	 *
	 * xxx_delay_total wraps around to zero on overflow
	 * xxx_count incremented regardless of overflow
	 */

	/* Delay waiting for cpu, while runnable
	 * count, delay_total NOT updated atomically
	 */
	__u64	cpu_count;
	__u64	cpu_delay_total;

	/* Following four fields atomically updated using task->delays->lock */

	/* Delay waiting for synchronous block I/O to complete
	 * does not account for delays in I/O submission
	 */
	__u64	blkio_count;
	__u64	blkio_delay_total;

	/* Delay waiting for page fault I/O (swap in only) */
	__u64	swapin_count;
	__u64	swapin_delay_total;

	/* cpu "wall-clock" running time
	 * On some architectures, value will adjust for cpu time stolen
	 * from the kernel in involuntary waits due to virtualization.
	 * Value is cumulative, in nanoseconds, without a corresponding count
	 * and wraps around to zero silently on overflow
	 */
	__u64	cpu_run_real_total;

	/* cpu "virtual" running time
	 * Uses time intervals seen by the kernel i.e. no adjustment
	 * for kernel's involuntary waits due to virtualization.
	 * Value is cumulative, in nanoseconds, without a corresponding count
	 * and wraps around to zero silently on overflow
	 */
	__u64	cpu_run_virtual_total;
	/* Delay accounting fields end */
	/* version 1 ends here */


3) Extended accounting fields
	/* Extended accounting fields start */

	/* Accumulated RSS usage in duration of a task, in MBytes-usecs.
	 * The current rss usage is added to this counter every time
	 * a tick is charged to a task's system time. So, at the end we
	 * will have memory usage multiplied by system time. Thus an
	 * average usage per system time unit can be calculated.
	 */
	__u64	coremem;		/* accumulated RSS usage in MB-usec */

  	/* Accumulated virtual memory usage in duration of a task.
	 * Same as acct_rss_mem1 above except that we keep track of VM usage.
	 */
	__u64	virtmem;		/* accumulated VM usage in MB-usec */

  	/* High watermark of RSS usage in duration of a task, in KBytes. */
	__u64	hiwater_rss;		/* High-watermark of RSS usage */

  	/* High watermark of VM  usage in duration of a task, in KBytes. */
	__u64	hiwater_vm;		/* High-water virtual memory usage */

	/* The following four fields are I/O statistics of a task. */
	__u64	read_char;		/* bytes read */
	__u64	write_char;		/* bytes written */
	__u64	read_syscalls;		/* read syscalls */
	__u64	write_syscalls;		/* write syscalls */

	/* Extended accounting fields end */

4) Per-task and per-thread statistics
	__u64	nvcsw;			/* Context voluntary switch counter */
	__u64	nivcsw;			/* Context involuntary switch counter */
