Add a map containing raw values from /proc/stat and "uptime_ticks" which
can be used in combination with cpuinfo.user_hz to calculate CPU usage
from two samples. "uptime_ticks" is only defined at the top level, as
/proc/stat is read once, so that core-specific raw values match this
value.

Is there something that is holding us back to move this directly into `PVE::ProcFSTools::read_proc_stat()`?

As far as I can tell, the output of `PVE::ProcFSTools::read_proc_stat()` is used at these locations:

- the PVE `/nodes/{node}/status` API endpoint of course, which only uses the values of `cpu` and `wait` at the moment
- `PMG::API2::Nodes`: also only uses the values of `cpu` and `wait`
- the PMG `/nodes/{node}/status` API endpoint, which also only uses the values of `cpu` and `wait` - `PVE::Service::pvestatd::update_node_status`: retrieve the current node status and then update them for rrd via `broadcast_rrd` (uses only the values of `cpu` and `wait` selectively) and external metric servers

The first three and a half (speaking of `broadcast_rrd` in the latter) look fine to me, but we should take a closer look how external metric servers will handle the added data, especially for existing queries/dashboards. It could also be a name collision, as 'cpustat' is also used for the data that gets sent to the metric servers.

In my opinion, I think it would be a worthwhile feature to add the properties for external metric servers (either as part of this or a future patch series).

+
        my $meminfo = PVE::ProcFSTools::read_meminfo();
        $res->{memory} = {
            free => $meminfo->{memfree},
--
2.46.0
It would also be very beneficial if the added data properties that are returned here are documented in the 'returns' JSONSchema, so that they can be easily understood by other users as well (especially in which unit those raw values are so that it's easier to know how they would need to get converted).

---

Otherwise, this works just as intended when querying the API endpoint `/nodes/{node}/status` via curl and pvesh.
