Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base
Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base.
It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and
the base is:
commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2

Prepare v4.1.3-rt3
Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We
should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

An accounting +group accumulates the CPU usage of all of its child groups and the tasks +directly present in its group. + +Accounting groups can be created by first mounting the cgroup filesystem. + +# mount -t cgroup -ocpuacct none /sys/fs/cgroup + +With the above step, the initial or the parent accounting group becomes +visible at /sys/fs/cgroup. At bootup, this group includes all the tasks in +the system. /sys/fs/cgroup/tasks lists the tasks in this cgroup. +/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct.usage gives the CPU time (in nanoseconds) obtained +by this group which is essentially the CPU time obtained by all the tasks +in the system. + +New accounting groups can be created under the parent group /sys/fs/cgroup. + +# cd /sys/fs/cgroup +# mkdir g1 +# echo $$ > g1/tasks + +The above steps create a new group g1 and move the current shell +process (bash) into it. CPU time consumed by this bash and its children +can be obtained from g1/cpuacct.usage and the same is accumulated in +/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct.usage also. + +cpuacct.stat file lists a few statistics which further divide the +CPU time obtained by the cgroup into user and system times. Currently +the following statistics are supported: + +user: Time spent by tasks of the cgroup in user mode. +system: Time spent by tasks of the cgroup in kernel mode. + +user and system are in USER_HZ unit. + +cpuacct controller uses percpu_counter interface to collect user and +system times. This has two side effects: + +- It is theoretically possible to see wrong values for user and system times. + This is because percpu_counter_read() on 32bit systems isn't safe + against concurrent writes. +- It is possible to see slightly outdated values for user and system times + due to the batch processing nature of percpu_counter. |
