From c8996c98f703b09afe77a1d247dae691c9849dc1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2022 08:08:02 +0200 Subject: bpf: Add BPF-helper for accessing CLOCK_TAI Commit 3dc6ffae2da2 ("timekeeping: Introduce fast accessor to clock tai") introduced a fast and NMI-safe accessor for CLOCK_TAI. Especially in time sensitive networks (TSN), where all nodes are synchronized by Precision Time Protocol (PTP), it's helpful to have the possibility to generate timestamps based on CLOCK_TAI instead of CLOCK_MONOTONIC. With a BPF helper for TAI in place, it becomes very convenient to correlate activity across different machines in the network. Use cases for such a BPF helper include functionalities such as Tx launch time (e.g. ETF and TAPRIO Qdiscs) and timestamping. Note: CLOCK_TAI is nothing new per se, only the NMI-safe variant of it is.
