* [PATCH] Add timestamp field to process eventsMatt Helsley2005-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a timestamp field to the events sent via the process event connector. The timestamp allows listeners to accurately account the duration(s) between a process' events and offers strong means with which to determine the order of events with respect to a given task while also avoiding the addition of per-task data. This alters the size and layout of the event structure and hence would break compatibility if process events connector as it stands in 2.6.15-rc2 were released as a mainline kernel.

* [PATCH] process events connector: uid_t gid_t size issuesMatt Helsley2005-11-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The uid_t and gid_t fields appear to present a 32/64-bit userspace/kernel problem for some archs. This patch addresses the problem by fixing the size to the largest size for uid_t/gid_t used in the kernel. This preserves the total size of the event structure while ensuring that the layouts of the ID change event match in 32 and 64-bit kernels and applications.

* [PATCH] Process Events ConnectorMatt Helsley2005-11-07
This patch adds a connector that reports fork, exec, id change, and exit events for all processes to userspace. It replaces the fork_advisor patch that ELSA is currently using. Applications that may find these events useful include accounting/auditing (e.g. ELSA), system activity monitoring (e.g. top), security, and resource management (e.g. CKRM).
