Apologies for the delay. Here are some benchmarks with atop.
Patch to atop at: https://github.com/eug48/atop/commits/proc-all
Patch to add /proc/all/schedstat & cpuset below.
atop not collecting threads & cmdline as /proc/all/ doesn't support it.
10,000 processes, kernel 5.8, nested KVM, 2 cores of i7-6700HQ @ 2.60GHz
# USE_PROC_ALL=0 ./atop -w test 1 &
# pidstat -p $(pidof atop) 1

So CPU usage goes down from ~65% to ~40%.
Data collection times in milliseconds are:
# xsv cat columns proc.csv procall.csv \
> | xsv stats \
> | xsv select field,min,max,mean,stddev \
> | xsv table
field min max mean stddev
/proc time 558 625 586.59 18.29
/proc/all time 231 262 243.56 8.02
Much performance optimisation can still be done, e.g. the modified atop
uses fgets which is reading 1KB at a time, and seq_file seems to only
return 4KB pages. task_diag should be much faster still.
I'd imagine this sort of thing would be useful for daemons monitoring
large numbers of processes. I don't run such systems myself; my initial
motivation was frustration with the Kubernetes kubelet having ~2-4% CPU
usage even with a couple of containers. Basic profiling suggests syscalls
have a lot to do with it - it's actually reading loads of tiny cgroup files
and enumerating many directories every 10 seconds, but /proc has similar
issues and seemed easier to start with.
Anyway, I've read that io_uring could also help here in the near future,
which would be really cool especially if there was a way to enumerate
directories and read many files regex-style in a single operation,
e.g. /proc/[0-9].*/(stat|statm|io)

I've tried `unshare --fork --pid --mount-proc cat /proc/all/stat`
which seems to behave correctly. ptrace flags are handled by the
existing code.
Best Wishes,
