No, no.
The timestamp code is all in the ring buffer code. That was why I refused
to have the layering without it.
And hell no, nobody should *ever* read the "tsc_delta" fields etc. Those
are entirely internal to the buffering. If any user _ever_ reads or writes
those on its own, it's a bug, plain and simple.
So when you read trace events, you should get the event data and the
timestamp from the trace buffer routines. Nobody should ever even _see_
the internal trace buffer implementation!
