Subject: [PATCH 0/3] status: TTY status message request
Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2022 20:42:57 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220118044259.764945-1-walt@drummond.us> (raw)
This patchset adds TTY status message request feature to the n_tty
line dicipline. This feature prints a brief message containing basic
system and process group information to a user's TTY in response to a
new control character in the line dicipline (default Ctrl-T) or the
TIOCSTAT ioctl. The message contains the current system load, the
name and PID of an interesting process in the forground process group,
it's run time, percent CPU usage and RSS. An example of this message
is:
load: 0.31 cmd: sleep 3616843 [sleeping] 0.36r 0.00u 0.00s 0% 696k
User API visible changes are limited to:
- The addition of VSTATUS in termios.c_cc[]
- The addition of NOKERNINFO bit in termios.l_cflags
- The addition of the TIOCSTAT ioctl number
None of these changes break the existing kernel api as the termios
structure on all architectures has enough space in the control
character array (.c_cc) for the new character, and the other changes
are space agnostic.
This feature is in many other Unix-like systems, both current and
historical. In other implementations, this feature would also send
SIGINFO to the process group; this implementation does not.
Walt Drummond (3):
vstatus: Allow the n_tty line dicipline to write to a user tty
vstatus: Add user space API definitions for VSTATUS, NOKERNINFO and
TIOCSTAT
status: Display an informational message when the VSTATUS character is
pressed or TIOCSTAT ioctl is called.
