Subject: [PATCH v6 23/27] util: convert error-report & log to message API for timestamp
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2026 15:25:04 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260211152508.732487-24-berrange@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260211152508.732487-1-berrange@redhat.com>
Both the error-report and log APIs can optional emit a timestamp
as a prefix on messages, with the '-msg timestamp=on' command
line flag is set.
Convert them to the new message API for formatting the context
prefix, guaranteeing they will have matching behaviour going
forward.
There is no change in output format for either logs or errors
with this conversion. There is a slight impact on logging code
in that recording the timestamp is now potentially delayed by
the need to acquire the logging mutex.
Reviewed-by: Richard Henderson <richard.henderson@linaro.org>
