Re: [PATCH 1/1] add StartTimeMonotomic, StartTimeBootTime to per pid in /proc

The process starttime is useful for a variety of things, like figuring
out creation ordering of processes. Or it is useful to detect PID
reuses in a somewhat reliable way.

OK, maybe. Changelog should have said so.

Yeah, Dan was also too lazy to explain the need, and had like 3 typoes
in the inadequate changelog he had.

Does not inspire confidence.

Now please all untwist your panties and try and submit a proper patch.

Resubmitted with more explanation (and less typos). If you feel that having
both CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIME is really a sticking point I'd be
ok to remove one as long as the other made it through, as one is much better
than none.
