Hi Guys,
Any chance of "atop" with kernel counter patches being added to
fedora in the future ?
This is a nice "advancement" which I'm sure will interest many fedora
as well as RHEL users.
Ref: http://www.atcomputing.nl/Tools/atop/home.html
The advantages look very interesting:

Has this been submitted upstream? Any plans to? Fedora prefers staying
close to upstream.

The site does not indicate that it has, but reading the page on patches
seems to indicate counters are visible via |/proc//pid//stat as second
line counters, so I would assume this would worry upstream guys on
compatibility issues/arguments. Either way, I still think this would be
a great tool, it works without the patchs but you don't get per process
stats - which is what most people would be interested in particularly in
RHEL.
You might want to first talk to them about their plans regarding
upstream submission. Carrying patches forever and forwarding porting
them to each new kernel release is not a long term sustainable solution.
