I've done a quick write up for reload time reporting from the
administration TODO.  I was a little paranoid with the locking, but
didn't want problems to occur with signals on the postmaster and the
read side.


IMHO, the function should return NULL if the postmaster never reloaded; that
is, it was started, but never signaled to reload.

I think it's useful to get the server startup time if the configuration has never been reloaded. That's when the configuration was loaded, if no reload has been triggered since. Perhaps the function should be named to reflect that better. pg_configuration_load_time() ?
