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.
Rahul
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.
Rahul
I agree with you, but you're asking me to ask him to pick a fight with
the kernel guys :), somehow I think he's lost already given that atop
has been around since 2001, but I'll ask anyhow.
