If virtual timestamps are detected, set sample time field accordingly, otherwise warn the user that the samples will not include accurate time data. | Test notes (FEAT_TRF platform) | | $ ./perf record -e cs_etm//u -a -- sleep 4 | $ ./perf script --fields +time | perf 422 [000] 163.375100: 1 branches:uH: 0 [unknown] ([unknown]) | perf 422 [000] 163.375100: 1 branches:uH: ffffb8009544 ioctl+0x14 (/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc-2.27.so) | perf 422 [000] 163.375100: 1 branches:uH: aaaaab6bebf4 perf_evsel__run_ioctl+0x90 (/home/german/linux/tools/perf/perf) | [...] | perf 422 [000] 167.393100: 1 branches:uH: aaaaab6bda00 __xyarray__entry+0x74 (/home/german/linux/tools/perf/perf) | perf 422 [000] 167.393099: 1 branches:uH: aaaaab6bda0c __xyarray__entry+0x80 (/home/german/linux/tools/perf/perf) | perf 422 [000] 167.393099: 1 branches:uH: ffffb8009538 ioctl+0x8 (/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc-2.27.so) | | The time from the first sample to the last sample is 4 seconds Now that times are converted to nanoseconds, also try to estimate the timestamps more accurately be dividing by some fixed value for instructions per ns.

README
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.
