From 3b9c04106b70e46803c69d13d5da32f6129fa76d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Engelhardt Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2006 05:48:15 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] printk time parameter Currently, enabling/disabling printk timestamps is only possible through reboot (bootparam) or recompile. I normally do not run with timestamps (since syslog handles that in a good manner), but for measuring small kernel delays (e.g. irq probing - see parport thread) I needed subsecond precision, but then again, just for some minutes rather than all kernel messages to come. The following patch adds a module_param() with which the timestamps can be en-/disabled in a live system through /sys/modules/printk/parameters/printk_time.
