@ -362,6 +362,26 @@ of ftrace. Here is a list of some of the key files:
|
|||
to correlate events across hypervisor/guest if
|
||||
tb_offset is known.
|
||||
|
||||
mono: This uses the fast monotonic clock (CLOCK_MONOTONIC)
|
||||
which is monotonic and is subject to NTP rate adjustments.
|
||||
|
||||
mono_raw:
|
||||
This is the raw monotonic clock (CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW)
|
||||
which is montonic but is not subject to any rate adjustments
|
||||
and ticks at the same rate as the hardware clocksource.
|
||||
|
||||
boot: This is the boot clock (CLOCK_BOOTTIME) and is based on the
|
||||
fast monotonic clock, but also accounts for time spent in
|
||||
suspend. Since the clock access is designed for use in
|
||||
tracing in the suspend path, some side effects are possible
|
||||
if clock is accessed after the suspend time is accounted before
|
||||
the fast mono clock is updated. In this case, the clock update
|
||||
appears to happen slightly sooner than it normally would have.
|
||||
Also on 32-bit systems, it's possible that the 64-bit boot offset
|
||||
sees a partial update. These effects are rare and post
|
||||
processing should be able to handle them. See comments in the
|
||||
ktime_get_boot_fast_ns() function for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
To set a clock, simply echo the clock name into this file.
|
||||
|
||||
echo global > trace_clock
