[PATCH] add /proc/vmstat (start of /proc/stat cleanup)
Moves the VM accounting out of /proc/stat and into /proc/vmstat. The VM accounting is now per-cpu. It also moves kstat.pgpgin and kstat.pgpgout into /proc/vmstat. Which is a bit of a duplication of /proc/diskstats (SARD), but it's easy, super-cheap and makes life a lot easier for all the system monitoring applications which we just broke. We now require procps 2.0.9. Updated versions of top and vmstat are available at http://surriel.com and the Cygnus CVS is uptodate for these changes. (Rik has the CVS info at the above site). This tidies up kernel_stat quite a lot - it now only contains CPU things (interrupts and CPU loads) and disk things. So we now have: /proc/stat: CPU things and disk things /proc/vmstat: VM things (plus pgpgin, pgpgout) The SARD patch removes the disk things from /proc/stat as well.
