This is intended to offer common data collection method for various accounting packages including BSD accounting, ELSA, CSA, and any other acct packages that use a common layer of data collection. This patchset consists of two parts: acct_io and acct_mm. Discussion identified that improved data collection in the area of I/O and Memory are useful to larger systems. acct_io: collects per process data on charater read/written in bytes and number of read/write syscalls made. acct_mm: collects per process data on rss and vm total usage and peak usage.
