From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>
The lustre tracefile has a timestamp defined as
__u32 ph_sec;
__u64 ph_usec;
which seems completely backwards, as the microsecond portion of
a time stamp will always fit into a __u32 value, while the second
portion will overflow in 2038 or 2106 (in case of unsigned seconds).
Changing this would unfortunately change the format in an incompatible
way, breaking all existing user space tools that access the data.
This uses ktime_get_real_ts64() to replace the insufficient
do_gettimeofday() and then truncates the seconds portion to
an u32 type, along with comments to explain the result.
A possible alternative would be the use of ktime_get_ts64() to
read a monotonic timestamp that never overflows, but this would
trigger a check in user space 'hdr->ph_sec < (1 << 30)' that
attempts to ensure that the values are within a reasonable range.
