What is the supposed unit of the ac_etime field of struct acct?
The code in kernel/acct.c currently says
ac.ac_etime = encode_comp_t(jiffies - current->start_time);
so it is given in multiples of HZ, which makes this value
platform-dependent (and subject of overflow after 48.5 days with HZ=1024).
In include/linux/acct.h however there is the definition
#define AHZ 100
which somehow smells like the preferred time unit.
Comments?
