This code
void print_usage(char * msg)
{
struct rusage usage;
getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF, &usage);
printf("Limits: %s\n", msg);
printf(" %s, %li\n", " maximum resident set size " , usage.ru_maxrss );
printf(" %s, %li\n", " integral shared memory size " , usage.ru_ixrss );
printf(" %s, %li\n", " integral unshared data size " , usage.ru_idrss );

printf(" %s, %li\n", " involuntary context switches " , usage.ru_nivcsw );
}
reports only zeroes for many fields, even if I use it in rather big program (after jvm start)
maximum resident set size , 0
integral shared memory size , 0
integral unshared data size , 0
integral unshared stack size , 0
page reclaims , 2514
page faults , 0
swaps , 0
block input operations , 0
block output operations , 0
messages sent , 0
messages received , 0
signals received , 0
voluntary context switches , 137
involuntary context switches , 1
The non-zero fields are "*vcsw
", "*flt
".
All *rss
, *swap
, msg*
, *block
, *signals
are Zero.
Is there something broken?
Linux is x86 2.6.30.
Yes it is partly broken. Not all fields are filled by kernel. http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man2/getrusage.2.html
Working fields:
ru_utime
ru_stime
ru_maxrss (since Linux 2.6.32)
ru_minflt
ru_majflt
ru_inblock (since Linux 2.6.22)
ru_oublock (since Linux 2.6.22)
ru_nvcsw (since Linux 2.6)
ru_nivcsw (since Linux 2.6)
Unused fields:
