1998-08-12 Martin Baulig <martin@home-of-linux.org> * include/glibtop/procsegment.h (glibtop_proc_segment): Using `text_rss', `shlib_rss', `data_rss' and `dirty_size' instead of `tsr', `lrs', `drs' and `dt'. New field `stack_rss'. * sysdeps/linux/procmem.c: Memory sizes now correctly in bytes. * sysdeps/linux/procsegment.c: Dito. * sysdeps/kernel/procsegment.c: Stack pages are reported via `stack_rss' and no longer count towards `data_rss' * kernel/table.h (table_proc_segment): Added `srs' field. * kernel/table21/module.c (TBL_PROC_SEGMENT): Added kernel support for this. * sysdeps/{linux, kernel, stub}/procmap.c: New files.
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, Martin
