I was about to commit the changes into printk/linux.git and
found a mistake during the final double check, see below.

Both delta times are printed at the end.

I think that this should be:

&stats->stats_timestamps.last_reset_time,
&stats->stats_timestamps.last_read_time,
&val1, &val2);

> stats->stats_timestamps.last_read_time = val1;

The original code stored the current time in "val1". This should be:

stats->stats_timestamps.last_read_time = val;

Just for record. Another values are stored into @val1 and @val2 at
this point.

So, this is correct!

Now, I think that there is no need to resend the entire huge patchset.

I could either fix this when comitting or commit the rest and
you could send only this patch for review.

Best Regards,
Petr

PS: All other patches look good. Well, nobody acked 7th patch yet.
But I think that the change is pretty straightforward and
we could do it even without an ack.
