majflt : int64; | Major page faults. The number of page faults that required I/O activity. |
nswap : int64; | Swaps. Currently unused on Linux. |

msgrcv : int64; | IPC messages received. Currently unused on Linux. |
nsignals : int64; | Signals received. Currently unused on Linux. |
nvcsw : int64; | Voluntary context switches. The number of times a context switch resulted due to a process voluntarily giving up the processor before its time slice was completed (usually to await availability of a resource). |
nivcsw : int64; | Involuntary context switches. The number of times a context switch resulted due to a higher priority process becoming runnable or because the current process exceeded its time slice. |
