Package: kernel-patch-atopcnt (1:1.23-1)

additional statistical counters for atop

This patch takes care that statistical counters are added to the process-administration (task_struct) and that these counters are incremented per process. The additional counters are shown via the file /proc/pid/stat as a second line of counters. When this patch is installed, atop automatically shows another layout for the generic screen (including disk- and network-transfers for active processes). However for terminated process these additional counters are not shown, because the conventional layout of the process-accounting record has not been adapted.
