From b663a79c191508f27cd885224b592a878c0ba0f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maxim Uvarov Date: Sun, 15 Jul 2007 23:40:48 -0700 Subject: taskstats: add context-switch counters Make available to the user the following task and process performance statistics: * Involuntary Context Switches (task_struct->nivcsw) * Voluntary Context Switches (task_struct->nvcsw) 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.
