Can you clean this up and get rid of the second static by doing:

  Time* process_creation_time = new Time();
  *process_creation_time = FromTimeVal(…);
  return process_creation_time;

+      base::Time::FromTimeVal(proc->kp_proc.p_un.__p_starttime);

Is the base:: qualifier necessary, since you’re using base::Time above on line
17?

+  return true;
+}
+
+}  // namespace
+
+namespace base {
+
+//static
+const Time* CurrentProcessInfo::CreationTime() {
+  static Time process_creation_time;
+  static bool success = ProcessCreationTimeInternal(&process_creation_time);

These are the two statics I’m talking about. You ought to be able to do this
with one.

+
+  if (!success)
+    return NULL;
+  return &process_creation_time;
+}
+
+}  // namespace base
