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

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



starttime in /proc/$PID/stat is inaccurate by "clock tick" granularity.
The kernel keeps better track os this exposes that in /prod/$PID/status
as StartTimeMonotonic and StartTimeBootTime
