[PATCH 2/2] tracing/histograms: Drop stale absolute timestamp note from docs
From: Vincent Donnefort
Date: Thu Nov 05 2026 - 15:33:51 EST
Since commit b94bc80df648 ("tracing: Use a no_filter_buffering_ref to
stop using the filter buffer") stopped using absolute timestamp for the
histograms, the paragraph about timestamps has been stale. Update it.

A note on inter-event timestamps: If common_timestamp is used in a
histogram, the trace buffer is automatically switched over to using
-absolute timestamps and the "global" trace clock, in order to avoid
-bogus timestamp differences with other clocks that aren't coherent
-across CPUs. This can be overridden by specifying one of the other
-trace clocks instead, using the "clock=XXX" hist trigger attribute,
-where XXX is any of the clocks listed in the tracing/trace_clock
