I feel like this has been pointed out before, but I can't find the
email about it. Regardless, yeah, this looks true:
SEQ_printf(m, ", %s/%d", tmp, timer->start_pid);
#11: <0000000000000000>, hrtimer_wakeup, S:01, do_nanosleep, cron/2570
Seems like this should be made namespace aware... (and why is this
file needed at all? Seems like it should live in debugfs not proc).

I'm fine with that.
The TIMER_STATS stuff should go away completely. If people are interested
in that information they can use the tracer which gives way better
data than that file.

So I used to use this "feature" as a hack to see if something was
running in a k8s cluster or not because fluentd gives a lot of things
away. Runc basically decided to mask this file so it stopped happening
though. But I think namespace aware is the right decision.

Unless you can come up with a real good argument why this is usefull beyond
