Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ps: Add support to "ps -l" to
        properly display process list
Message-ID: <20220225071932.GA1097@raspberrypi>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Sometimes kernel image is generated without CONFIG_SCHED_STAT or CONFIG_SCHED_INFO.

Running crash-utility with above kernel image,
"ps -l" options cannot display all processes sorted with most recently-run process

crash> ps -l
ps: last-run timestamps do not exist in this kernel
Usage:
  ps [-k|-u|-G] [-s] [-p|-c|-t|-[l|m][-C cpu]|-a|-g|-r|-S]
     [pid | task | command] ...
Enter "help ps" for details.

This is because output of 'ps -l' depends on task_struct.sched_info.last_arrival.
Without CONFIG_SCHED_STAT or CONFIG_SCHED_INFO, 'sched_info' field is not included
in task_struct.

So we make 'ps -e' option to access 'exec_start' field of sched_entity.
where 'exec_start' is task_struct.se.exec_start.

With this patch, "ps -l" option works well without CONFIG_SCHED_STAT or
CONFIG_SCHED_INFO.

The history of CONFIG_SCHED_INFO and CONFIG_SCHED_STAT is as below;

  - CONFIG_SCHED_INFO: KERNEL_VERSION >= LINUX(4,2,0)
  - CONFIG_SCHED_STAT: KERNEL_VERSION < LINUX(4,2,0)


Could you please add the kernel commit ID for the relevant changes?
 
In addition, I would suggest to fold these two patches as one patch and change the subject as:
"ps: Add support to "ps -l|-m" to properly display process list", what do you think?
