      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.
