The task exit struct needs some crucial information to be able to provide
an enhanced version of process and thread accounting. This change
provides:
1. ac_tgid in additon to ac_pid
2. thread group execution walltime in ac_tgetime
3. flag AGROUP in ac_flag to indicate the last task
in a thread group / process
4. device ID and inode of task's /proc/self/exe in
ac_exe_dev and ac_exe_inode
5. tools/accounting/procacct as demonstrator
When a task exits, taskstats are reported to userspace including the
task's pid and ppid, but without the id of the thread group this task is
part of. Without the tgid, the stats of single tasks cannot be correlated
to each other as a thread group (process).
The taskstats documentation suggests that on process exit a data set
consisting of accumulated stats for the whole group is produced. But such
an additional set of stats is only produced for actually multithreaded
processes, not groups that had only one thread, and also those stats only
contain data about delay accounting and not the more basic information
about CPU and memory resource usage. Adding the AGROUP flag to be set
when the last task of a group exited enables determination of process end
also for single-threaded processes.
My applicaton basically does enhanced process accounting with summed
cputime, biggest maxrss, tasks per process. The data is not available
with the traditional BSD process accounting (which is not designed to be
extensible) and the taskstats interface allows more efficient on-the-fly
grouping and summing of the stats, anyway, without intermediate disk
writes.
Furthermore, I do carry statistics on which exact program binary is used
how often with associated resources, getting a picture on how important
which parts of a collection of installed scientific software in different
versions are, and how well they put load on the machine. This is enabled
by providing information on /proc/self/exe for each task. I assume the
two 64-bit fields for device ID and inode are more appropriate than the
possibly large resolved path to keep the data volume down.
Add the tgid to the stats to complete task identification, the flag AGROUP
to mark the last task of a group, the group wallclock time, and
inode-based identification of the associated executable file.
Add tools/accounting/procacct.c as a simplified fork of getdelays.c to
demonstrate process and thread accounting.
