[PATCH v2 2/3] docs: sched-stats: fix misleading 'per-process' wording
From: Kit Dallege
Date: Sun Mar 15 2026 - 13:05:46 EST
/proc/<pid>/schedstat provides statistics for the specific task (thread)
identified by the pid, not an aggregation across all threads of a
process. Change 'per-process' to 'per-task' to avoid confusion.
