You would better use unlikely() here.

Wouldn't we need to consider the case of wrap around?

Here, you'd better add unlikely() too.

Hmm, since these calls are not actual tracepoints, it should not start
with "trace_".
I would like to ask you to use other function name, like
hrtimer_mark_start_timestamp()

Here, too. hrtimer_expired_latency() etc.

BTW, I think "missed" is a bit misleadable, since the timer itself is
not missed,
it may be just not in time. :)

Thank you,
