Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] powerpc/time: Export boot_tb and log initial timebase at boot
Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2025 12:09:46 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250204063948.643852-1-kjain@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
From: Aboorva Devarajan <aboorvad@linux.ibm.com>
- Export `boot_tb` for external use, this is useful in perf vpa-dtl
interface, where `boot_tb` can be used to convert raw timebase
values to it's relative boot timestamp.
- Log the initial timebase at `time_init` as it is a useful
information which can be referred to as needed.
