I already wondered why the OSF Mach developers would have wanted to remove it... 8-)

I'll try to change it in Mach; I wanted to start working on Mach anyway, since it has at least one other annoying bug and the hurdppc project on savannah.nongnu.org also needs a version of Mach that runs on newer PPC computers (using OSKit).  It'll probably take some time, however.

Hi,

the creation time was an invention of us, and he put it into GNU Mach 1999.  This seemed to be an easy change.  Instead changing the Hurd to allow for the lack of it, can't you backport our change to OSF Mach?  Here are the relevant changelog entries from GNU Mach:

1999-05-29  Roland McGrath  <roland@baalperazim.frob.com>
                                                                               
        * kern/startup.c (start_kernel_threads): Call record_time_stamp to
        reset the kernel task's creation_time field, so it's not zero.
 1999-05-23  Roland McGrath  <roland@baalperazim.frob.com>
 
        * kern/task.c (task_info): Allow count for TASK_BASIC_INFO to be less
        two words, not just one.  The new member creation_time is two words.

Wed Aug 20 16:05:19 1997  Thomas Bushnell, n/BSG  <thomas@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
                                                                               
        * kern/thread.h (struct thread): New member `creation_time'.
        * include/mach/thread_info.h: New member `creation_time'.
        * kern/thread.c (thread_create): Set creation time stamp.
        (thread_info) [THREAD_BASIC_INFO]: Fill in new creation time
        field.  Carefully preserve compatibility with old callers.
 
        * kern/task.h (struct task): New member `creation_time'.
        * include/mach/task_info.h: New member `creation_time'.
        * kern/task.c (task_create): Set creation time stamp.
        (task_info) [TASK_BASIC_INFO]: Fill in new creation time field.
        Carefully preserve compatibility with old callers.
 
        * kern/mach_clock.c (record_time_stamp): New function.
        * kern/time_out.h (record_time_stamp): Add prototype.

This patch adds support for OSF Mach, which doesn't have creation_time in `struct task_basic_info', by adding a member creation_time to `struct procinfo'.  It is initialized by proc when a `struct proc' for the task is allocated and kept in this `struct proc'.

A configure function is still needed to detect if this should be enabled.
