Not just a hint -- the Red Hat kernel configuration appears

Be careful what you ask for.
This is _not_ a true (time-of-day) timestamp. At least it wasn't last I
looked. Think kernel active time since boot - useful for relative (timed)
occurrences for kernel events.
It would be reasonably trivial to adjust it to a ToD stamp, but it's going to
have some
Hi,
Anyone knows why the kernel ring buffer (dmesg) is missing the usual time
stamp prefix on each line on System z? For example:
SUSE SLES 11 SP1 on system z shows this:
Write protected kernel read-only data: 0x10 - 0x5f
While Intel (same OS) shows:
[1.611026] Write
Just a guess here, but maybe the s390x kernel for SLES 11 SP1 was compiled
with CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME disabled, while the x86-64 kernel had the same
option enabled?
I do see those time-offset numbers at the beginning of output from other
kernels on s390x, so I don't think it's a difference inherent
Of course, if you don't need the time stamps for early boot, you can turn
them on at runtime through the /sys filesystem:
