what does any of what we've talking about have to do with struct rusage?
One of the patches i wrote adds a new rlimit. It has no impact on
rusage, at all. A new rlimit can be added transparently, we routinely
add new rlimits, and no, most of them have no matching rusage fields!

i very much replied to your point:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110672338910363&w=2
" > Does getrusage() return anything for this? How can a field be added

rlimits are easily extended and there are no binary compatibility
worries. The kernel doesnt export the maximum towards userspace.
getrusage() will return the value on new kernels and will return
-EINVAL on old kernels, so new userspace can deal with this
accordingly. "
(and here i meant getrlimit(), not getrusage() - getrusage() is not
affected by the patch at all.)
