On bugs that have the ring buffer timestamp get out of sync, the config CONFIG_RING_BUFFER_VALIDATE_TIME_DELTAS, that checks for it and if it is detected it causes a dump of the bad sub buffer. It shows each event and their timestamp as well as the delta in the event. But it's also good to see the offset into the subbuffer for that event to know if how close to the end it is. Also print where the last event actually ended compared to where it was expected to end.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
