[PATCH v2 3/7] perf tools: Store clock references for -k/--clockid option

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Wed Aug 05 2020 - 05:36:31 EST


Adding new CLOCK_DATA feature that stores reference times
when -k/--clockid option is specified.

It contains clock id and its reference time together with
wall clock time taken at the 'same time', both values are
in nanoseconds.

The format of data is as below:

struct {
u32 version; /* version = 1 */
u32 clockid;
u64 wall_clock_ns;
u64 clockid_time_ns;
};

This clock reference times will be used in following changes
to display wall clock for perf events.

It's available only for recording with clockid specified,
because it's the only case where we can get reference time
to wallclock time. It's can't do that with perf clock yet.
