accounting for threads

Hi. First, sorry if this is a glibc issue. Just chose to ask here first. I want to know the CPU time used by a POSIX-threaded program. I have tried to use getrusage() with RUSAGE_SELF and RUSAGE_CHILDREN. Problem: main thread just do nothing, spawns children and waits. And I get always 0

Okay, I'll bite. What's HCI stand for? I'm guessing it ends in Connection Interface, but the H has me stumped. Happy? Hostile? Hysterical? Hippopotamus? If we're connecting a bluetooth compliant hippopotamus to Linux, I can only hope there's an RFC somewhere explaining how to do it.

obsolete code must die

Anyone concerned about the current size of the kernel source code? I am, and I propose to start cleaning house on the x86 platform. I mean it's all very well and good to keep adding features, but stuff needs to go if kernel development is to move forward. Before listing the gunk I want to get rid
