+====================
+The struct taskstats
+====================
+
+This document contains an explanation of the struct taskstats fields.
+
+There are three different groups of fields in the struct taskstats:
+
+1) Common and basic accounting fields
+    If CONFIG_TASKSTATS is set, the taskstats interface is enabled and
+    the common fields and basic accounting fields are collected for
+    delivery at do_exit() of a task.
+2) Delay accounting fields
+    These fields are placed between::
+
+	/* Delay accounting fields start */
+
+    and::
+
+	/* Delay accounting fields end */
+
+    Their values are collected if CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT is set.
+3) Extended accounting fields
+    These fields are placed between::
+
+	/* Extended accounting fields start */
+
+    and::
+
+	/* Extended accounting fields end */
+
+    Their values are collected if CONFIG_TASK_XACCT is set.
+
+4) Per-task and per-thread context switch count statistics
+
+5) Time accounting for SMT machines
+
+6) Extended delay accounting fields for memory reclaim
+
+Future extension should add fields to the end of the taskstats struct, and
+should not change the relative position of each field within the struct.
