proc, time/namespace: Show clock symbolic names in /proc/pid/timens_offsets
Michael Kerrisk suggested to replace numeric clock IDs with symbolic names. Now the content of these files looks like this: $ cat /proc/774/timens_offsets monotonic 864000 0 boottime 1728000 0 For setting offsets, both representations of clocks (numeric and symbolic) can be used. As for compatibility, it is acceptable to change things as long as userspace doesn't care. The format of timens_offsets files is very new and there are no userspace tools yet which rely on this format. But three projects crun, util-linux and criu rely on the interface of setting time offsets and this is why it's required to continue supporting the numeric clock IDs on write.
