It is actually a very general facility.
As far as I remember Eric was pointing to such potential use at early time when kcmp being only started developing (I'm trying to find this email in archive, if only my memory doesn't betray me and it was about something else ;) Nevertheless, one may write utility to output statistics on shared "resource" used by a task (don't know if it's that useful since we use kcmp for c/r sake, but still). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
