6 * Implements 3 trace clock variants, with differing scalability/precision
9 * - local: CPU-local trace clock
10 * - medium: scalable global clock with some jitter
11 * - global: globally monotonic, serialized clock
13 * Tracer plugins will chose a default from these clocks.

23 * trace_clock_local(): the simplest and least coherent tracing clock.
25 * Useful for tracing that does not cross to other CPUs nor
26 * does it go through idle events.
28 u64 notrace trace_clock_local(void)
34 * sched_clock() is an architecture implemented, fast, scalable,
35 * lockless clock. It is not guaranteed to be coherent across
36 * CPUs, nor across CPU idle events.

46 * trace_clock(): 'inbetween' trace clock. Not completely serialized,
47 * but not completely incorrect when crossing CPUs either.
49 * This is based on cpu_clock(), which will allow at most ~1 jiffy of
50 * jitter between CPUs. So it's a pretty scalable clock, but there
51 * can be offsets in the trace data.
53 u64 notrace trace_clock(void)
55 return cpu_clock(raw_smp_processor_id());
60 * trace_clock_global(): special globally coherent trace clock
62 * It has higher overhead than the other trace clocks but is still
63 * an order of magnitude faster than GTOD derived hardware clocks.
65 * Used by plugins that need globally coherent timestamps.
