Hi Min Li,

some minor suggestions from my side.

IMHO messages like the one above offer no value to users.
I would remove it and similar messages.

nit: sync_ns is set but unused in this function.
     I think you can remove sync_ns from this function and simply do:

	ns2counters(idtfc3, offset_ns + now_ns, &sub_ns);
