Ok I understand. But somehow I have to notify the read()-call that it
can compute the latency value. Do you have any suggestions how to do that?

Yes of course I have already studied the irqbench test but it uses the
RTDM skin. I also know that this skin should be used for developing hard
realtime drivers. But I just need to measure latencies and I don't want
to develop a huge realtime driver. I just need some values for
comparison with the driver working on plain linux. I was wondering
whether it is possible to rewrite the driver working on plain linux by
using the Xenomai native API.
Why isn't it possible to use a Linux character device. I just want to
transfer the latency values to the user space task which is out of any
realtime context I think.
Thanks in advance,
