| |
I've built a tool with the goal of logging mmio writes and reads by device drivers. See http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/MmioTrace.
I'd like to add support for recording a time stamp on each read and write. Unfortunately, I am not sure which clock api I should use.
I had a look at blktrace and saw that it uses 'sched_clock()' for time stamps. However, this symbol is not exported to modules, and from what I've read it sounds like its use is discouraged.
The question is, what api should I be using? I need something that can be called from inside interrupt handlers, and obviously the more accurate and the lower the overhead the better.
