https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220908140313.313020-1-ptikhomirov@virtuozzo.com

Current linux process tree looses the information in which subtree the child was originally born, after the children is died and therefore reparented.

$ relstat.py --since 2020-09-11 | ~/lazybox/gnuplot/plot.py \
    --data_fmt table --type labeled-lines --xtics_rotate -90 \
    --font "Times New Roman, 5pt" --ylog --pointsize 0.3
