It's reading jiffies. To convert to time the prog needs HZ value. The HZ is also accessible via kconfig special map type and libbpf magic, but supplying jiffies as an end-time is an implementation detail. Are you arguing that api should be exactly one-to-one to kernel and force all progs to do bpf_jiffies64() + end_time/HZ ?
