Re: [Crash-utility] [PATCH] Add -r option to timer
----- Original Message -----
Hello Dave,
Sorry for late. And I think my last mail is not that clear, so I will
add some explanation here.
And firstly, some answers to your question.
1. offset means the offset of the clock to the monotonic time.
2. If offset is 0 or without offset, the clock gets the monotonic time
with it.
3. If offset is not 0, lick clock 0 on cpu 0, the time of this clock is
monotonic time together with the value of offset. Additionally,
expiration of the clock is also based on the offset.
If I want to compare expiration with current time, I should first add
offset with monotonic time(I use uptime in my command, for accurate time
is unable to get), then get the current time of the clock.
Right, so what I was saying is that it doesn't make much sense to
show "OFFSET: 0", and it's also confusing when nothing is shown on
the older versions.
Perhaps there could be a "NOW:" field, where you come up with
per-timer-type algorithms to show a value that relates to the
expires value?
And while you're at it, can you please remove the "HRTIMER_BASES[]"
and also clean up the unnecessary accessible() calls?
Thanks,
Dave
