This allows you to measure - the interval between kernel operations, including bootup - operations. This is useful for identifying long delays - in kernel startup. Or add printk.time=1 at boot-time. - See Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt + Selecting this option causes time stamps of the printk() + messages to be added to the output of the syslog() system + call and at the console. + + The timestamp is always recorded internally, and exported + to /dev/kmsg.
