From: Jan Engelhardt Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2006 12:48:15 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [PATCH] printk time parameter X-Git-Tag: v2.6.18-rc1~959 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3b9c04106b70e46803c69d13d5da32f6129fa76d;p=linux-2.6 [PATCH] printk time parameter Currently, enabling/disabling printk timestamps is only possible through reboot (bootparam) or recompile. I normally do not run with timestamps (since syslog handles that in a good manner), but for measuring small kernel delays (e.g. irq probing - see parport thread) I needed subsecond precision, but then again, just for some minutes rather than all kernel messages to come. The following patch adds a module_param() with which the timestamps can be en-/disabled in a live system through /sys/modules/printk/parameters/printk_time.
