From: Mathieu Desnoyers Date: Mon, 9 Jan 2012 16:42:57 +0000 (-0500) Subject: Fix timestamps for slow-paced event rates X-Git-Tag: v1.9.5~23 X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9080554ff25b08f48762d2ee7cfa3981317e9c1d;p=lttng-ust.git Fix timestamps for slow-paced event rates Given that we currently do not implement any timer that provides guarantees of 27-bit timestamps overflow detection, force the timestamp to 64-bit.
