Subject: [PATCH v3] tracing/events: Add timer and high res timer tracepoints


Add tracepoints for timer and high res timer execution. We add entry and
exit tracepoints so we can calculate timer latency.

Example ftrace output:

<idle>-0     [000]   264.040506: hrtimer_entry: func=.tick_sched_timer
<idle>-0     [000]   264.040508: hrtimer_exit: func=.tick_sched_timer restart=HRTIMER_RESTART
<idle>-0     [000]   264.040530: timer_entry: func=.e1000_watchdog
<idle>-0     [000]   264.040728: timer_exit: func=.e1000_watchdog

Here we can see e1000_watchdog is taking 0.2ms - it might make sense to
move this into a workqueue or kernel thread.

v2: Changed %pF to %pf to remove always 0 function offset.
v3: Patch was corrupted, must be vi and my fat fingers.
