This use case only cares that xtime is updated. > > If not can we rather factorize that in a single settimeofday tracepoint? > Or update_time_of_day if we don't want to confuse the user with the > syscall. Peter and Thomas expressed interest in timekeeping tracepoints. How the update happens might be wanted. If desired I can consolidate xtime = *tv into a single update function and put the trace point there.
