Subject: [PATCH v1] bpf: BPF based latency tracing

BPF offers another way to generate latency histograms. We attach
kprobes at trace_preempt_off and trace_preempt_on and calculate the
time it takes to from seeing the off/on transition.

The first array is used to store the start time stamp. The key is the
CPU id. The second array stores the log2(time diff). We need to use
static allocation here (array and not hash tables). The kprobes
hooking into trace_preempt_on|off should not calling any dynamic
memory allocation or free path. We need to avoid recursivly
getting called. Besides that, it reduces jitter in the measurement.

Hi Alexei,

Something broke in my toolchain and it took me a while to figure out whats
going on.

With the rebase on net-next no additinal patches are needed and this
thing here runs fine.

cheers,
daniel

changes

v1:	- rebases on net-next

v0:
	- renamed to lathist since there is no direct hw latency involved
	-  use arrays instead of hash tables
