    [PATCH] Add timestamp field to process events · 5650b736
    Matt Helsley authored
    This adds a timestamp field to the events sent via the process event
    connector.  The timestamp allows listeners to accurately account the
    duration(s) between a process' events and offers strong means with which
    to determine the order of events with respect to a given task while also
    avoiding the addition of per-task data.
    
    This alters the size and layout of the event structure and hence would
    break compatibility if process events connector as it stands in 2.6.15-rc2
    were released as a mainline kernel.
