    trace: Add __print_ns_to_secs() and __print_ns_without_secs() helpers · 62de4f29
    Steven Rostedt authored
    To have nanosecond output displayed in a more human readable format, its
    nicer to convert it to a seconds format (XXX.YYYYYYYYY). The problem is that
    to do so, the numbers must be divided by NSEC_PER_SEC, and moded too. But as
    these numbers are 64 bit, this can not be done simply with '/' and '%'
    operators, but must use do_div() instead.
    
    Instead of performing the expensive do_div() in the hot path of the
    tracepoint, it is more efficient to perform it during the output phase. But
    passing in do_div() can confuse the parser, and do_div() doesn't work
    exactly like a normal C function. It modifies the number in place, and we
    don't want to modify the actual values in the ring buffer.
    
    Two helper functions are now created:
    
      __print_ns_to_secs() and __print_ns_without_secs()
    
    They both take a value of nanoseconds, and the former will return that
    number divided by NSEC_PER_SEC, and the latter will mod it with NSEC_PER_SEC
    giving a way to print a nice human readable format:
    
     __print_fmt("time=%llu.%09u",
    	__print_ns_to_secs(REC->nsec_val),
    	__print_ns_without_secs(REC->nsec_val))
