bootchart: don't parse /proc/uptime, use CLOCK_BOOTTIME
* systemd-bootchart always parses /proc/uptime, although the
information is unnecessary when --rel specified
* use /proc/uptime is overkill, since Linux 2.6.39 we have
clock_gettime(CLOCK_BOOTTIME, ...). The backend on kernel side is
get_monotonic_boottime() in both cases.
* main() uses "if (graph_start <= 0.0)" to detect that /proc is
available.
This is fragile solution as graph_start is always smaller than zero
on all systems after suspend/resume (e.g. laptops), because in this
case the system uptime includes suspend time and uptime is always
greater number than monotonic time. For example right now difference
between uptime and monotonic time is 37 hours on my laptop.
Note that main() calls log_uptime() (to parse /proc/uptime) for each
sample when it believes that /proc is not available. So on my laptop
systemd-boochars spends all live with /proc/uptime parsing +
nanosleep(), try
strace /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-bootchart
to see the never ending loop.
This patch uses access("/proc/vmstat", F_OK) to detect procfs.
