Subject: [PATCH] [RFC] sched: accurate user accounting
For an rsdl 0.33 patched kernel. Comments? Overhead worth it?
---
Currently we only do cpu accounting to userspace based on what is actually
happening precisely on each tick. The accuracy of that accounting gets
progressively worse the lower HZ is. As we already keep accounting of
nanosecond resolution we can accurately track user cpu, nice cpu and idle cpu
if we move the accounting to update_cpu_clock with a nanosecond cpu_usage_stat
entry. This increases overhead slightly but avoids the problem of tick
aliasing errors making accounting unreliable.
