SubjectQuestion on sched_clock
Hi,

Kernel’s printk uses local_clock() for timestamps and it is mapped to
sched_clock(). Two problems/requirements I see,

One, Kernel’s printk timestamps start from 0, I want to change this to
match with actual time since boot.
Two, sched_clock() doesn’t account for time spend in low power
state(suspend to ram)

Could workout patches to modify these behaviours and found working in
my system. But need to hear expert opinion on why this is not done in
the upstream.
