This is a new system call `table ()' for the Linux table. It is faster
|
||||
than reading from /proc and can be used to fetch all information required
|
||||
for libgtop until whe have some other function (extended sysctl, ...) in
|
||||
standard kernels.
|
||||
|
||||
I didn't want to change sysctl or some other function myself cause this may
|
||||
cause other applications relying upon those function to fail. This is
|
||||
something for the ``real'' kernel gurus ...
|
||||
|
||||
To use this new system call for libgtop, do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
* Copy this directory to /usr/src/linux/table
|
||||
* Make /usr/src/linux/include/linux/table.h symlink to /usr/src/linux/table/table.h
|
||||
* Apply the patch `kernel.patch' to the kernel, compile, install and reboot
|
||||
* Recompile libgtop (remove `config.cache' and run the `autogen.sh' again).
|
||||

||||
If you want to change and/or add something - feel free to do so !
|
||||
|
||||
Have fun,
