[PATCH v4 3/3] tracing: format non-nanosec times from tsc clock without a decimal point.
From: David Sharp
Date: Tue Sep 25 2012 - 18:29:46 EST
With the addition of the "tsc" clock, formatting timestamps to look like
fractional seconds is misleading. Mark clocks as either in nanoseconds or
not, and format non-nanosecond timestamps as decimal integers.
Tested:
$ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
$ cat trace_clock
[local] global tsc
$ echo sched_switch > set_event
$ echo 1 > tracing_enabled ; sleep 0.0005 ; echo 0 > tracing_enabled
$ cat trace
<idle>-0 [000] 6330.555552: sched_switch: prev_comm=swapper prev_pid=0 prev_prio=120 prev_state=R ==> next_comm=bash next_pid=29964 next_prio=120
sleep-29964 [000] 6330.555628: sched_switch: prev_comm=bash prev_pid=29964 prev_prio=120 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper next_pid=0 next_prio=120
...
$ echo 1 > options/latency-format
$ cat trace
<idle>-0 0 4104553247us+: sched_switch: prev_comm=swapper prev_pid=0 prev_prio=120 prev_state=R ==> next_comm=bash next_pid=29964 next_prio=120

...
