Hello Masahiro,

thanks for your feedback.

I was not aware of that problem. Thanks for the link.

I understood that this is a bad idea to create the timestamp for proc 
like this!
But how does it look in principle to offer the build timestamp in proc 
for reading?
You have only made your point about creating the timestamp but not about 
reading it out via the proc directory.

So far the timestamp is only readable as a string via dmesg.

Best regards

Florian
