[PATCH 20/40] KVM: kvmtrace: replace get_cycles with ktime_get v3

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Tue Sep 23 2008 - 09:56:39 EST


From: Christian Ehrhardt <ehrhardt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The current kvmtrace code uses get_cycles() while the interpretation would be
easier using using nanoseconds. ktime_get() should give at least the same
accuracy as get_cycles on all architectures (even better on 32bit archs) but
at a better unit (e.g. comparable between hosts with different frequencies.

[avi: avoid ktime_t in public header]
