Hi Steve,

If my understanding is right, I think both are not the same. The
predefined field relates to the current
process which was interrupted by the hrtimer. This I guess does not
have a meaning in this context.
Mostly it is the idle process which is interrupted by the hrtimer. But
the ccomm field refers to the task
woken up by the process. The latencies are measured for this task. So
I it is needed.
