The main intention of this system call is to allow a user space process get the beancounters statistics ''periodically''. This statistics includes the fields observed in the <code>/proc/user_beancounters</code> file and one more field - the so called <code>minheld</code> value which is opposite to the <code>maxheld</code> one.

The notification is performed by sending a signal to a process and this notification is one-shot.
