This patch supplies proc.total which is the total number of processes created on Linux systems.

I wanted this to be able to graph the fork rate of my servers. (delta)

From kernel docs:

The "processes" line gives the number of processes and threads created, which includes (but is not limited to) those created by calls to the fork() and clone() system calls.

proc.num gives you the number of currently processes, not how many that have been started.
