[RFC PATCH] printk: Change timestamp to triplet as mono, boot and real
From: Orson Zhai
Date: Tue Aug 11 2020 - 00:41:39 EST
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Timestamps printed in kernel log are retrieved by local_clock which reads
jiffies as a referrence clock source.
But it is diffcult to be synchronized with logs generated out of kernel,
say some remote processors (Modem) in the Soc of mobile phones.
Jiffies will be unchanged when system is in suspend mode but Modem will
not.
So timestamps are required to be compensated with suspend time in some
complecated scenarios especially for Android system. As an initial
implementation was rejected by Linus, Thomas made this patch [1] 2 yeas
ago to replace ts_nsec with a struct ts that consists 3 types of time:
mono, boot and real.
This is an updated version which comes from patch [1] written by Thomas
and suggestion [2] about VMCORE_INFO given by Linus.
It provides the prerequisite code to print kernel logs with boot or real
timestamp in the future.

This patch has been tested in qemu-x86-system. One problem is the timestamp
in kernel log will be printed [ 0.000000] for longer time than before.
