By sending a full frame of events at the same time, the irqsoff latency at heavy load is brought down from 200 us to 100 us.

Hi Henrik, Reading the time just once and applying it as the timestamp to an entire frame is very nice. However, is it ever possible for the SYN_REPORT to get delayed until the next batch of input_values, therefore breaking the assumption that the SYN_REPORT timestamp applies to the rest of the input_values for its frame? Also, bonus points if the input driver could set this input frame timestamp based on when it first saw a hardware interrupt rather then when evdev gets around to sending the frame to userspace. This could potentially remove a lot of the timing jitter userspace sees when computing ballistics based on input event timestamps. Thanks! -Daniel
