'/proc/stat' provides the field 'btime' which states the time stamp of system boot in seconds. In case of time namespaces, the offset to the boot time stamp was not applied earlier. This confuses tasks which are in another time universe, e.g., in a container of a container runtime which utilize time namespaces to virtualize boottime. Therefore, we make procfs to virtualize also the btime field by subtracting the offset of the timens boottime from 'btime' before printing the stats. Since start_boottime of processes are seconds since boottime and the boottime stamp is now shifted according to the timens offset, the offset of the time namespace also needs to be applied before the process stats are given to userspace. This avoids that processes shown, e.g., by 'ps' appear as time travelers in the corresponding time namespace.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
