That would be great!  Any help would be appreciated.  There are patches
which "mostly" work, but the way they hook into the kernel's fs code is
ugly.  There are notes at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/imon.txt (that
file is also included in the patches).

One thing those notes don't include is Andrew Morton's idea of separating
the start- & stop-exec events from the rest of the imon patch.  (That's
the new fields added to the inode and task_struct, and the accounting in
fs/exec.c, kernel/exit.c, and kernel/fork.c.)

I still haven't posted a request for comments etc. on linux-kernel yet;
I was hoping to have a working 2.3.99-preX version first, but my first
quick attempt was broken.
