All I care (which linux happily/happens to support) is maxrss; I was probably
originally interested in this while digging into an issue with hash agg.
I think it's fine to show zeros for unsupported fields; that's what getusage(2)
and time(1) do after all.

That has the issue that it varies not just by OS but also by OS version. For
example PG already shows context switches and FS in/out puts, but they're
nonzero only since linux 2.6 (yes, 2.4 is ancient and unsupported but still).
ru_nvcsw (since Linux 2.6)
ru_inblock (since Linux 2.6.22)
..and other fields are "currently unused", but maybe supported in the past or
future(?)
ru_ixrss (unmaintained)
This field is currently unused on Linux.
Are you thinking of something like this, maybe hidden away in a separate file
somewhere?
#if defined(__linux__) || defined(BSD)
appendStringInfo(&str, "!\t%ld max resident, %ld shared, %ld unshared
data, %ld unshared stack (kB)\n", r.ru_maxrss, r.ru_ixrss, r.ru_idrss,
r.ru_isrss);
#elif defined(__darwin__)
appendStringInfo(&str, "!\t%ld max resident, %ld shared, %ld unshared
data, %ld unshared stack (kB)\n", r.ru_maxrss/1024, r.ru_ixrss/1024,
r.ru_idrss/1024, r.ru_isrss/1024);
#endif /* __linux__ */
