From 4bb09192d38ef08f0619667527cabb26354fff89 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Ahern Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2013 12:37:43 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] perf trace: Add option to show full timestamp Current timestamp shown for output is time relative to firt sample. This patch adds an option to show the absolute perf_clock timestamp which is useful when comparing output across commands (e.g., perf-trace to perf-script).
