From 614f60fa9d73a9e8fdff3df83381907fea7c5649 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott McMillan Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2010 05:53:56 -0700 Subject: packet_mmap: expose hw packet timestamps to network packet capture utilities This patch adds a setting, PACKET_TIMESTAMP, to specify the packet timestamp source that is exported to capture utilities like tcpdump by packet_mmap. PACKET_TIMESTAMP accepts the same integer bit field as SO_TIMESTAMPING. However, only the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE values are currently recognized by PACKET_TIMESTAMP. SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE takes precedence over SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE if both bits are set. If PACKET_TIMESTAMP is not set, a software timestamp generated inside the networking stack is used (the behavior before this setting was added). Signed-off-by: Scott McMillan Signed-off-by: David S.
