This struct is filled as a parameter to getrusage syscall. ->ru_maxrss value is set to KBs which is the way it is done in BSD systems. /usr/bin/time (gnu time) application converts ->ru_maxrss to KBs which seems to be incorrect behavior. Maintainer of this util was notified by me with the patch which corrects it and cc'ed. To make this happen we extend struct signal_struct by two fields. The first one is ->maxrss which we use to store rss hiwater of the task. The second one is ->cmaxrss which we use to store highest rss hiwater of all task childs. These values are used in k_getrusage() to actually fill ->ru_maxrss. k_getrusage() uses current rss hiwater value directly if mm struct exists. Note: exec() clear mm->hiwater_rss, but doesn't clear sig->maxrss. it is intetionally behavior. *BSD getrusage have exec() inheriting.

(both RUSAGE_SELF and RUSAGE_CHILDREN) 3. getrusage(RUSAGE_CHILDREN) collect grandchild statics? test way: % ./getrusage bsd result: post_wait line is about "post_wait: self 0 children 90000". -> RUSAGE_CHILDREN can collect grandchild. 4. zombie, but not waited children collect or not? test way: % ./getrusage -z bsd result: pre_wait line is "pre_wait: self 0 children 0". -> zombie child process (not waited-for child process) isn't accounted. 5. SIG_IGN collect or not test way: % ./getrusage -s bsd result: post_wait line is "post_wait: self 0 children 0". -> if SIGCHLD is ignored, children isn't accounted. 6. fork and malloc test way: % ./getrusage -lcf bsd result: fork line is "fork: self 0 children 0". fork2 line is about "fork: self 130000 children 0". -> rusage sholdn't be inherit by fork. (both RUSAGE_SELF and RUSAGE_CHILDREN) but additional memory cunsumption cause right maxrss calculation.
