I run with

trace-cmd record -e sched_switch -e sched_wakeup -e sched_migrate_task \
-e 'timer:*' -e 'irq_vectors:*' -e 'irq:softirq*' \
-e 'irq:irq_handler*' taskset --cpu-list 4-35 ./sysjitter/sysjitter \
--runtime 10 200

And

$ grep ' timer_expire_entry:' trace.txt | wc -l
1173

seems to confirm that the event was indeed enabled, e.g.

ksoftirqd/11-100   [011]   159.270023: timer_expire_entry:   timer=0xffff9807df8a5a60 function=delayed_work_timer_fn now=4294826418 baseclk=4294825984
