/proc/virtual/info

/proc/virtual/<xid>

This directory contains several files which can provide valuable information on the current context state and settings.

/proc/virtual/<xid>/info

ID:     1001
Info:   83c37000
Init:   0

this shows the context id, vx_info location and init pid

/proc/virtual/<xid>/status

UseCnt: 38
Tasks:  16
Flags:  0000000000000000
BCaps:  00000000d46c04ff
CCaps:  0000000000000000
Ticks:  0

this contains the usage count (references) and task count, as well as the context flags, capability boundary and context capabilities

/proc/virtual/<xid>/sched

Token:                 0
FillRate:              1
Interval:              4

PrioBias:              0
VaVaVoom:              0
cpu 0: 0 0 0

shows the current amount of tokens, scheduler parameters (fill rate, interval, min/max), the priority bias and the calculated vavavoom (priority bonus)

/proc/virtual/<xid>/cacct

UNSPEC:            0/0                             0/0                             0/0

forks:  0

this accounts socket messages for the listed protocols, as incoming messages/bytes and outgoing messages/bytes

/proc/virtual/<xid>/cvirt

nr_threads:     119
nr_running:     0
nr_unintr:      0

load_updates:   383736593
loadavg:        0.00 0.02 0.02
total_forks:    3763748

this contains the uptime bias, the number of threads, thread stats (running, uninterruptible, on hold), the number of load updates, the load averages (1,5,15) and the number of forks
