Hmmm. Well, I may be starting to lean in Tim's direction of pulling the
clock_monotonic based uptime and going back to the jiffies based uptime.
Atleast until we can make all the /proc/ output consistent.

I just worry that it actually fixed a problem for someone, and backing
it out would just reopen that.

Thoughts?

I would rather deal with some aesthetic breakage and get it fixed. Right now, having been mildly affected by differing times, and having seen the lengthy discussion about it, it feels like a huge octopus of timelines in the kernel. Each one of them different, some just a little, some significantly - especially after suspend/resume events.
