I'm looking for a function to convert bintime to a human readable format in the kernel... and what is the usual format we use? The use case for this is: if something throws a log from the kernel about a signal, I want to know when it happened, or in terms of code see below (tabs are most probably messed up). Do we have some kind of policy in terms of kernel messages and timestamps? Like "do not commit logging with timestamps"? I have the code below because I needed it at least once and think something like this (in a human readably shape) would be beneficial to have in the tree.
