Subject: [PATCHv2] trace: adding unstable sched clock note to the warning
Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2011 15:52:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110218145219.GD2604@jolsa.brq.redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1296649698-6003-1-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com>
hi,
warning "Delta way too big" warning might appear on a system with
unstable shed clock right after the system is resumed and tracing
was enabled during the suspend.
Since it's not realy bug, and the unstable sched clock is working
fast and reliable otherwise, Steven suggested to keep using the
sched clock in any case and just to make note in the warning itself.
v2 changes:
- added CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK dependency
wbr,
jirka
