I see this is dependent on the addition of tif_need_resched() and
friends.

Perhaps we should make this a switch statement?

	switch (entry->flags & (TRACE_FLAG_NEED_RESCHED |
				TRACE_FLAG_PREEMPT_RESCHED)) {
	case TRACE_FLAG_NEED_RESCHED | TRACE_FLAG_PREEMPT_RESCHED:
		need_resched = 'N';
		break;
	case TRACE_FLAG_NEED_RESCHED:
		need_resched = 'n';
		break;
	case TRACE_FLAG_PREEMPT_RESCHED:
		need_resched = 'p';
		break;
	default:
		need_resched = '.';
		break;
	}

Simply because I find switch statements easier to read than else if
statements.
