Hence, the value set in the mbuf timestamp field is only the raw value of an internal clock. To make sense of this value, one at least needs to be able to query the current hardware clock value. As with the TSC, from there a frequency can be derieved by querying multiple time the current value of the internal clock with some known delay between the queries (example provided in the API doc). This RFC patch series adds support for MLX5. An example app is provided in the rxtx_callback application. It has been updated to display, on top of the software latency in cycles, the total latency since the packet was received in hardware. The API is used to compute a delta in the TX callback. The raw amount of ticks is converted to cycles using a variation of the technique describe above. Aside from offloading timestamping, which relieve the software from a few operations, this allows to get much more precision when studying the source of the latency in a system. Eg. in our 100G, CX5 setup the rxtx callback application shows SW latency is around 74 cycles (TSC is 3.2Ghz), but the latency including NIC processing, PCIe, and queuing is around 196 cycles. One may think at first this API is overlapping with te_eth_timesync_read_time. rte_eth_timesync_read_time is clearly identified as part of a set of functions to use PTP synchronization. The device raw clock is not "sync" in any way. More importantly, the returned value is not a timeval, but an amount of ticks. We could have a cast-based solution, but on top of being an ugly solution, some people seeing the timeval type of rte_eth_timesync_read_time could use it blindly.
