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
