I will explain you whole scenario , Actually I have multiple guests and a host and I want to see all traces on a single file with trace-cmd report command and may be kernelshark also . trace-cmd report -i guest.dat -i host.dat command is giving me all traces is single file but the timestamp is different for guest . So the challenge for me is to sync the timestamp of guest and host . Can you advise me something in this ? How can I sync gettimeofday clocks of guest and host ? and kernelshark doesnt take trace-cmd report input , I think it takes guest.dat and host.dat . Is there any other viewer available for ftrace ?
