Subject: [PATCH v5 0/2] tracing: Add trace events for preemption and irq disable/enable

These patches add trace events support for preempt and irq disable/enable
events. This version has few changes suggested by Steven as well.

I am looking forward to getting these accepted for v4.15 if possible. I based
it on Linus's master, please let me know if there is another branch I need to
rebase on. thanks!

Changes since v4:
- Use static inline instead of defines for tracer functions.
- Moved new per-cpu variables to protect from recursion to the correct defines.
- Dropped bug fix patch (3/3) not related to series and will submit that separately.

Here's an example of how Android's systrace will be using it to show critical
sections as a gantt chart: http://imgur.com/download/TZplEVp
