From c7f3c595f6ff7a1cfbf7ac782722bf5173e27775 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Fri, 19 May 2017 15:29:10 -0700 Subject: pstore: Populate pstore record->time field The current time will be initially available in the record->time field for all pstore_read() and pstore_write() calls. Backends can either update the field during read(), or use the field during write() instead of fetching time themselves.
