[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 4/5] xen/console: Provide timestamps as an offset since boot

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This adds a new "Linux style" console timestamp method, which is shorter and
more useful than the current date/time timestamps with single-second
granularity.

 ### console\_timestamps

-> Default: `false`
+> Default: `boot`
+
+Specify which timestamp format Xen should use for each console line.
+
+* `none`: No timestamps
+* `date`: Date and time information
+    * `[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS]`
+* `boot`: Seconds and microseconds since boot
+    * `[SSSSSS.uuuuuu]`
 
-Flag to indicate whether include a timestamp with each console line.
+For compatibility with the older boolean parameter, specifying
+`console_timestamps` alone will enable the `date` option.
