In CSA 3.0 ...
csa_acct_eop(int exitcode, struct task_struct *p)
csa->ac_btime = boottime +
((p->start_time.tv_nsec < NSEC_PER_SEC/2) ?
p->start_time.tv_sec :
p->start_time.tv_sec +1);
where
do_posix_clock_monotonic_gettime(&uptime);
boottime = xtime.tv_sec - uptime.tv_sec;
In an upcoming version of CSA ...
csa_acct_eop(struct taskstats *p)
csa->ac_btime = p->ac_btime;
where
do_posix_clock_monotonic_gettime(&uptime);
ts = uptime - tsk->start_time;
p->ac_btime = get_seconds() - ts.tv_sec;
= xtime.tv_sec - (uptime - tsk->start_time);
= (xtime.tv_sec - uptime) + tsk->start_time;
So they're basically equivalent.
