[PATCH] procfs: export context switch counts in /proc/*/stat

[David Wragg]

The kernel already maintains context switch counts for each task, and
exposes them through getrusage(2).  These counters can also be used
more generally to track which processes on the system are active
(i.e. getting scheduled to run), but getrusage is too constrained to
use it in that way.

This patch (against 2.6.19/2.6.19.1) adds the four context switch
values (voluntary context switches, involuntary context switches, and
the same values accumulated from terminated child processes) to the
end of /proc/*/stat, similarly to min_flt, maj_flt and the time used
values.
