After tweaking the ring buffer to be a bit faster, a warning is triggering on one of my machines, and causing my tests to fail. This warning is caused when the delta (current time stamp minus previous time stamp), is larger than the max time held by the ring buffer (59 bits). If the clock were to go backwards slightly, this would then easily trigger this warning. The machine that it triggered on, the clock did go backwards by around 450 nanoseconds, and this happened after a recalibration of the TSC clock. Now that the ring buffer is faster, it detects this, and the delta that is used larger than the max, the warning is triggered and my test fails. To handle the clock going backwards, look at the saved before and after time stamps. If they are the same, it means that the current event did not interrupt another event, and that those timestamp are of a previous event that was recorded. If the max delta is triggered, look at those time stamps, make sure they are the same, then use them to compare with the current timestamp. If the current timestamp is less than the before/after time stamps, then that means the clock being used went backward. Print out a message that this has happened, but do not warn about it (and only print the message once). Still do the warning if the delta is indeed larger than what can be used. Also remove the unneeded KERN_WARNING from the WARN_ONCE() print. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
