printk.time=1/CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=1 adds a unmodified local hardware clock timestamp to printk messages. The local hardware clock loses time each day making it difficult to determine exactly when an issue has occurred in the kernel log, and making it difficult to determine how kernel and hardware issues relate to each other in real time. Make printk output different timestamps by adding options for no timestamp, the local hardware clock, the monotonic clock, the boottime clock, and the real clock. Allow a user to pick one of the clocks by using the printk.time kernel parameter. Output the type of clock in /sys/module/printk/parameters/time so userspace programs can interpret the timestamp. v2: Use peterz's suggested Kconfig options. Merge patchset together. Fix i386 !CONFIG_PRINTK builds. v3: Fixed x86_64_defconfig. Added printk_time_type enum and printk_time_str for better output. Added BOOTTIME clock functionality. v4: Fix messages, add additional printk.time options, and fix configs. v5: Renaming of structures, and allow printk_time_set() to evaluate substrings of entries (eg: allow 'r', 'real', 'realtime'). From peterz, make fast functions return 0 until timekeeping is initialized (removes timekeeping_active & ktime_get_boot|real_log_ts() suggested by tglx and adds ktime_get_real_offset()). Switch to a function pointer for printk_get_ts() and reference fast functions. Make timestamp_sources enum match choice options for CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME (adds PRINTK_TIME_UNDEFINED). v6: Define PRINTK_TIME_UNDEFINED for !CONFIG_PRINTK builds. Separate timekeeping changes into separate patch. Minor include file cleanup. v7: Add default case to printk_set_timestamp() and add PRINTK_TIME_DEBUG for users that want to set timestamp to different values during runtime. Add jstultz' Kconfig to avoid defconfig churn. v8: Add CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME_DEBUG to allow timestamp runtime switching. Rename PRINTK_TIME_DISABLE to PRINTK_TIME_DISABLED. Rename printk_set_timestamp() to printk_set_ts_func(). Separate printk_set_ts_func() and printk_get_first_ts() portions. Rename param functions. Adjust configs, enum, and timestamp_sources_str to be 0-4. Add mention realtime clock is UTC in Documentation. v9: Fix typo. Add __ktime_get_real_fast_ns_unsafe(). v10: Remove time parameter restrictions.
