issues with processes without parent pids

[xrmx]

Micheal,
pybootchargui reported this:
Missing CONFIG_PROC_EVENTS: no parent for pid '1001' ('bootchartd') with ppid '0'
Missing CONFIG_PROC_EVENTS: no parent for pid '1002' ('init') with ppid '0'
Missing CONFIG_PROC_EVENTS: no parent for pid '2882001' ('redis-server') with ppid '0'

First the simple stuff:

• pid 1 and 2 should not be accounted
• the error message is misleading, i have CONFIG_PROC_EVENTS and it is working fine
  I can fix myself these issues but i'd like a second opinion :)

Then the very strange pid of redis-server. Any hint?

Some of the stuff you can find in the logs:

• pid 2882 is used two times, one by startpar the other by redis-server initd script, that's plausible but i think in cases like this we can reuse the parent pid of the first one and the name of the second?

Note to self, most of the changes discussed there have been applied and only "no parent for pid '2882001' ('redis-server') with ppid '0'" message will be shown with a recent bootchart2.
