      sched: add hierarchical accounting to cpu accounting controller · 934352f2
      Bharata B Rao authored
      Impact: improve CPU time accounting of tasks under the cpu accounting controller
      
      Add hierarchical accounting to cpu accounting controller and include
      cpuacct documentation.
      
      Currently, while charging the task's cputime to its accounting group,
      the accounting group hierarchy isn't updated. This patch charges the cputime
      of a task to its accounting group and all its parent accounting groups.

      sched: include group statistics in /proc/sched_debug · ff9b48c3
      Bharata B Rao authored
      Impact: extend /proc/sched_debug info
      
      Since the statistics of a group entity isn't exported directly from the
      kernel, it becomes difficult to obtain some of the group statistics.
      For example, the current method to obtain exec time of a group entity
      is not always accurate. One has to read the exec times of all
      the tasks(/proc/<pid>/sched) in the group and add them. This method
      fails (or becomes difficult) if we want to collect stats of a group over
      a duration where tasks get created and terminated.
      
      This patch makes it easier to obtain group stats by directly including
      them in /proc/sched_debug. Stats like group exec time would help user
      programs (like LTP) to accurately measure the group fairness.
      
      An example output of group stats from /proc/sched_debug:

      sched: rename SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER => SCHED_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER · ae1e9130
      Ingo Molnar authored
      Impact: cleanup, change .config option name
      
      We had this ugly config name for a long time for hysteric raisons.
      Rename it to a saner name.
      
      We still cannot get rid of it completely, until /proc/<pid>/stack
      usage replaces WCHAN usage for good.
      
      We'll be able to do that in the v2.6.29/v2.6.30 timeframe.
