hi,
on RHEL7 we are facing timing issues in some bcc-tools
scripts. The time subsystem might return backward timestamp
via bpf_ktime_get_ns and thus screw up latency computation.
This seems to be RHEL7 kernel issue and needs to be fixed,
however meanwhile it'd be nice if affected scripts display
sane values despite the kernel issue.
This patchset harden 2 scripts (xfsslower and ext4dist)
we saw this behaviour so far, to ensure the latency is
always > 0.
thanks,
jirka
