I have a note here that this patch needs acks, but I didn't note who
from.

Someone ack it :)

Make ->ru_maxrss value in struct rusage filled accordingly to rss hiwater
mark. This struct is filled as a parameter to getrusage syscall.
->ru_maxrss value is set to KBs which is the way it is done in BSD
systems. /usr/bin/time (gnu time) application converts ->ru_maxrss to KBs
which seems to be incorrect behavior. Maintainer of this util was
notified by me with the patch which corrects it and cc'ed.

To make this happen we extend struct signal_struct by two fields. The
first one is ->maxrss which we use to store rss hiwater of the task. The
second one is ->cmaxrss which we use to store highest rss hiwater of all
task childs. These values are used in k_getrusage() to actually fill
->ru_maxrss. k_getrusage() uses current rss hiwater value directly if mm
struct exists.

Note:
exec() clear mm->hiwater_rss, but doesn't clear sig->maxrss.
it is intetionally behavior. *BSD getrusage have exec() inheriting.

testcase
========

1. inherit fork?

test way:
% ./getrusage -lc

bsd result:
fork line is "fork: self 0 children 0".

-> rusage sholdn't be inherit by fork.
(both RUSAGE_SELF and RUSAGE_CHILDREN)

2. inherit exec?

test way:
% ./getrusage -lce

bsd result:
fork3: self 103204 children 60000
exec: self 103204 children 60000

fork3 and exec line are the same.

-> rusage shold be inherit by exec.
(both RUSAGE_SELF and RUSAGE_CHILDREN)

3. getrusage(RUSAGE_CHILDREN) collect grandchild statics?

test way:
% ./getrusage

bsd result:
post_wait line is about "post_wait: self 0 children 90000".

-> RUSAGE_CHILDREN can collect grandchild.

4. zombie, but not waited children collect or not?

test way:
% ./getrusage -z

bsd result:
pre_wait line is "pre_wait: self 0 children 0".

-> zombie child process (not waited-for child process)
isn't accounted.

5. SIG_IGN collect or not

test way:
% ./getrusage -s

bsd result:
post_wait line is "post_wait: self 0 children 0".

-> if SIGCHLD is ignored, children isn't accounted.

6. fork and malloc
test way:
% ./getrusage -lcf

bsd result:
fork line is "fork: self 0 children 0".
fork2 line is about "fork: self 130000 children 0".

-> rusage sholdn't be inherit by fork.
(both RUSAGE_SELF and RUSAGE_CHILDREN)
but additional memory cunsumption cause right
maxrss calculation.
