To clarify - "ps -eLf" does traverse /proc/pid/task/tid/ , so yes, there are tools which are task-aware. But in this case, I meant that it does not matter as the output of /proc/pid/task/tid/stat is unchanged by my patch. I more exactly meant that to my knowledge, no procps tools add up all the tasks in /ptoc/pid/task/tid and present them as one process.
