    getrusage(): fill ru_inblock and ru_oublock fields if possible · 6eaeeaba

    If CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING is defined, we update io accounting counters for
    each task.
    
    This patch permits reporting of values using the well known getrusage()
    syscall, filling ru_inblock and ru_oublock instead of null values.
    
    As TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING currently counts bytes counts, we approximate blocks
    count doing : nr_blocks = nr_bytes / 512
    
    Example of use :
    ----------------------
    After patch is applied, /usr/bin/time command can now give a good
    approximation of IO that the process had to do.
    
    $ /usr/bin/time grep tototo /usr/include/*
    Command exited with non-zero status 1
    0.00user 0.02system 0:02.11elapsed 1%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
