Timers are added to the timer wheel off by one. This is required in case a timer is queued directly before incrementing jiffies to prevent early timer expiry. When reading a timer trace and relying only on the expiry time of the timer in the timer_start trace point and on the now in the timer_expiry_entry trace point, it seems that the timer fires late. With the current timer_expiry_entry trace point information only now=jiffies is printed but not the value of base->clk. This makes it impossible to draw a conclusion to the index of base->clk and makes it impossible to examine timer problems without additional trace points. Therefore add the base->clk value to the timer_expire_entry trace point, to be able to calculate the index the timer base is located at during collecting expired timers.

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.
