  * Released December 24, 2004 [http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.10 changelog]
  * Accounting: report single record for multithreaded process. In kernels before 2.6.10, a separate process accounting record was written for each thread created using NTPL. Since 2.6.10, a single accounting record is written for the entire process [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=commit;h=fa4c8b605c3313de9e3170b68b9e4576a6a5d45e (commit)]

  * Make rlimit settings per-process instead of per-thread for POSIX compliance [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=commit;h=f1a81f9149ac2321978e1357eb697f95cc31e989 (commit)]

  * Show aggregate per-process counters in /proc/$PID/stat: Add up resource usage counters for live and dead threads to show aggregate per-process usage.
