c - accessing xtime variable Linux kernel -
i implementing system call return current time of day (for learning purpose). have looked @ implementations of gettimeofday() on linux 3.19.2 books checked got current time of day (the wall time) defined in kernel/time/timekeeping.c:
struct timespec xtime;
[linux kernel development rober love]
however couldn't able xtime variable definition in file.
where xtime variable declared in linux kernel , how can access module or function? what headers should include?
that reference obsolete. recent kernels no longer have xtime
. though there still fields in kernel timekeeping structure prefix of xtime_
assume descended it. see, example, struct timekeeper
in include/linux/timekeeper_internal.h
.
you want stick more stable functions defined in include/linux/timekeeping.h
