[PATCH] pacct: none-delayed process accounting accumulation
In current 2.6.17 implementation, signal_struct refered from task_struct is used for per-process data structure. The pacct facility also uses it as a per-process data structure to store stime, utime, minflt, majflt. But those members are saved in __exit_signal(). It's too late. For example, if some threads exits at same time, pacct facility has a possibility to drop accountings for a part of those threads. (see, the following 'The results of original 2.6.17 kernel') I think accounting information should be completely collected into the per-process data structure before writing out an accounting record. This patch fixes this matter. Accumulation of stime, utime, minflt and majflt are done before generating accounting record.
