Message-ID: <20080624124306.GK2896@zip.com.au> Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2008 22:43:06 +1000 From: AP <ap@....com.au> To: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@...glemail.com> Cc: Laurent Vivier <Laurent.Vivier@...l.net>, Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@...il.com>, Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@...-lyon.org>, lkml <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu>, Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@...ibm.com>, trivial@...nel.org Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: add descs for guest fields in stat procfs files Git patch 5e84cfde51cf303d368fcb48f22059f37b3872de introduced a new field to /proc/stat that represents guest (virtual cpu) time. Git patch 9ac52315d4cf5f561f36dabaf0720c00d3553162 introduced the same to /proc/<pid>/stat along with a guest time of the tasks children. The patch below adds descriptions of these fields to the procfs documentation included in the kernel.
