tracing: Add trace_clock=<clock> kernel parameter Being able to change the trace clock at boot can be advantageous if you need a better source of when things happen across CPUs. The default trace clock is the fastest, but it uses local clocks which may not be synced across CPUs and it does not let you know when events took place with respect to events on other CPUs. The global trace clock can help in this case, and if you do not care about timings, the counter "clock" is the best, as that is just a simple atomic counter that is incremented for every event. Usage is to add "trace_clock=counter" on the kernel command line. You can replace counter with "global" or any of the clocks listed in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_clock Suggested-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Tested-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Appreciated-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
