[
v10 changes:
- Fixed broken compilation, call to timestamp_correction_calc() in timestamp_correct
was smashed.
- Replaced deprecated tep_data_event_from_type() API with tep_find_event().
- Fixed a warning on assignment const to non const.
v9 changes:
- Fixed implementation of binary search algorithm in timestamp_correct()
v8 changes:
- Added rmdir() call in tracecmd_remove_instance(), to completely remove the instance.
However, there is an issue with deleting the instances using rmdir(), which is investigated.
- Few changes in read_qemu_guests_pids(), timestamp_correct(), tsync_offset_load()
tracecmd_clock_context_new() and find_raw_events() suggested by Slavomir.
v7 changes:
- Added warning messages in case time synchronization cannot be negotiated or fails.
- Few optimizations and checks in read_qemu_guests_pids(), tsync_offset_load(),
and find_raw_events(), suggested by Slavomir Kaslev.
- Reworked timestamp_correct() to not use static variables.
- Check TRACECMD_OPTION_TIME_SHIFT before reading time sync samples from the trace.dat file
v6 changes:
- Refactored tracecmd_msg_snd_time_sync() and tracecmd_msg_rcv_time_sync() functions:
removed any time sync calculations logic as separate functions in trace-timesync.c file
- Defined TSYNC_PROBE, TSYNC_REQ and TSYNC_RESP messages, in order to make the time sync
protocol comprehensible.
- Addressed Steven Rostedt comments.
- Addressed Slavomir Kaslev commnets.
v5 changes:
- Rebased to Slavomir's v8 "Add VM kernel tracing over vsockets and FIFOs"
patch series.
- Implemented an algorithm for time drift correction.
- Addressed Slavomir's commnets.
- Refactored the code: moved all time sync specific implementation in trace-timesync.c
- Isolated all hardcoded event specific stuff in a structure, so it could be easily
moved to external plugins.
- Added a check for VSOCK support: do not perform vsock dependent time synchronisation
in case there is no VSOCK support.
v4 changes:
- Removed the implementation of PTP-like algorithm. The current
logic relies on matching time stamps of kvm_exit/virtio_transport_recv_pkt
events on host to virtio_transport_alloc_pkt/vp_notify events on guest.
- Rebased to Slavomir's v7 "Add VM kernel tracing over vsockets and FIFOs"
patch series.
- Decreased the time synch probes from 5000 to 300.
- Addressed Steven Rostedt comments.
- Code cleanup.
v3 changes:
- Removed any magic constants, used in the PTP-like algorithm,
as Slavomir Kaslev suggested.
- Implemented new algorithm, based on mapping kvm_exit events
in host context to vsock_send events in guest context,
suggested by Steven Rostedt.
v2 changes:
- Addressed Steven Rostedt comments.
- Modified PTP-like timestamps sync algorithm to gain more accuracy, with the
help of Yordan Karadzhov and Slavomir Kaslev.

This patch series is a POC for timestamps sync between guest and host machines.
The algorithm relies on matching time stamps of guest and host vsock events.
The patch series depends on Slavomir's changes, introduced by the v8 patch series
"Add VM kernel tracing over vsockets and FIFOs"
