[Patch 3/6] statistics infrastructure - prerequisite: timestamp

Martin Peschke
2006-05-24T12:31:57Z

This patch separates the timestamp code out from printk. Thus, other
components, like the statistics infrastructure, can also make use of it
and provide similar timestamps. It just makes sense to have one timestamp
format throughout the kernel.

The original piece of code was a bit promiscuous, IMHO.
Please accept the little cleanup that comes with my patch.

And I think that I have fixed a printed_len related miscalculation.
printed_len needs to be increased if no valid log level has been found
and a log level prefix has been added by printk(). Otherwise, printed_len
must not be increased. The old code did it the other way around (in the
timestamp case).
