trace: Add __print_ns_to_secs() and __print_ns_without_secs() helpers
To have nanosecond output displayed in a more human readable format, its nicer to convert it to a seconds format (XXX.YYYYYYYYY). The problem is that to do so, the numbers must be divided by NSEC_PER_SEC, and moded too. But as these numbers are 64 bit, this can not be done simply with '/' and '%' operators, but must use do_div() instead. Instead of performing the expensive do_div() in the hot path of the tracepoint, it is more efficient to perform it during the output phase. But passing in do_div() can confuse the parser, and do_div() doesn't work exactly like a normal C function. It modifies the number in place, and we don't want to modify the actual values in the ring buffer. Two helper functions are now created: __print_ns_to_secs() and __print_ns_without_secs() They both take a value of nanoseconds, and the former will return that number divided by NSEC_PER_SEC, and the latter will mod it with NSEC_PER_SEC giving a way to print a nice human readable format: __print_fmt("time=%llu.%09u", __print_ns_to_secs(REC->nsec_val), __print_ns_without_secs(REC->nsec_val)) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/e503b903045496c4ccde52843e1e318b422f7a56.1624372313.git.bristot@redhat.com Cc: Phil Auld <[email protected]> Cc: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <[email protected]> Cc: Kate Carcia <[email protected]> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <[email protected]> Cc: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]> Cc: Alexandre Chartre <[email protected]> Cc: Clark Willaims <[email protected]> Cc: John Kacur <[email protected]> Cc: Juri Lelli <[email protected]> Cc: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]> Cc: "H.
