Subject: [PATCH] needs-restarting: Get boot time from systemd
UnitsLoadStartTimestamp
Resolves https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-35577.
Get the boot time from UnitsLoadStartTimestamp if systemd is available,
but make sure to use the kernel boot time for calculating process start
times using data from procfs. The previous attempt [1] at this failed to
do so and introduced a regression [2].
Also, get the kernel boot time from the btime field of /proc/stat instead of
calculating it from /proc/uptime, to be consistent with what procps-ng
does.
