  • I find it very handy to show the average delays in milliseconds.

  • The taskstats structure is internally aligned on 8 byte boundaries but the
    layout of the aggregrate reply, with two NLA headers and the pid (each 4
    bytes), actually force the entire structure to be unaligned. This causes
    the kernel to issue unaligned access warnings on some architectures like
    ia64. Unfortunately, some software out there doesn't properly unroll the
    NLA packet and assumes that the start of the taskstats structure will
    always be 20 bytes from the start of the netlink payload. Aligning the
    start of the taskstats structure breaks this software, which we don't
    want. So, for now the alignment only happens on architectures that
    require it and those users will have to update to fixed versions of those
    packages. Space is reserved in the packet only when needed. This ifdef
    should be removed in several years e.g. 2012 once we can be confident
    that fixed versions are installed on most systems. We add the padding
    before the aggregate since the aggregate is already a defined type.

    Commit 85893120 ("delayacct: align to 8 byte boundary on 64-bit systems")
    previously addressed the alignment issues by padding out the pid field.
    This was supposed to be a compatible change but the circumstances
    described above mean that it wasn't. This patch backs out that change,
    since it was a hack, and introduces a new NULL attribute type to provide
    the padding. Padding the response with 4 bytes avoids allocating an
    aligned taskstats structure and copying it back. Since the structure
    weighs in at 328 bytes, it's too big to do it on the stack.

  • Task delay-accounting was identified as one means of determining how long
    a process spends in congestion_wait() without adding new statistics. For
    example, if the workload should not be doing IO, delay-accounting could
    reveal how long it was spending in unexpected IO or delays.
    Unfortunately, on closer examination it was clear that getdelays does not
    act as documented.

    Commit a3baf649 ("per-task-delay-accounting: documentation") added
    Documentation/accounting/getdelays.c with a -c switch that was documented
    to fork/exec a child and report statistics on it but for reasons that are
    unclear to me, commit 9e06d3f9 deleted support for this switch but did not
    update the documentation. It might be an oversight or it might be because
    the control flow of the program meant that accounting information would be
    printed once early in the lifetime of the program making it of limited
    use.

    This patch reimplements -c for getdelays.c to act as documented. Unlike
    the original version, it waits until the command completes before printing
    any information on it. An example of it being used looks like

    $ ./getdelays -d -c find /home/mel -name mel
    print delayacct stats ON
    /home/mel

  • 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.

  • Fix the length passed while (un)registering cpumask. We were passing sizeof
    the array, make it strlen().

    Error value printed in fatal errors should be derived from the message. The
    message contains an nlmsgerr embedded with an error value. We must report
    that value to the user.
