6ca6cca31d tracing: optimize global_trace_clock cachelines
The prev_trace_clock_time is only read or written to when the
trace_clock_lock is taken. For better perfomance, they
should share the same cache line.

b8b9426533 tracing: fix four sparse warnings
Impact: cleanup.

This patch fixes the following sparse warnings:

 kernel/trace/trace.c:385:9: warning: symbol 'trace_seq_to_buffer' was
 not declared. Should it be static?

 kernel/trace/trace_clock.c:29:13: warning: symbol 'trace_clock_local'
 was not declared. Should it be static?

 kernel/trace/trace_clock.c:54:13: warning: symbol 'trace_clock' was not
 declared. Should it be static?

 kernel/trace/trace_clock.c:74:13: warning: symbol 'trace_clock_global'
 was not declared. Should it be static?

6cc3c6e12b trace_clock: fix preemption bug
Using the function_graph tracer in recent kernels generates a spew of
preemption BUGs. Fix this by not requiring trace_clock_local() users
to disable preemption themselves.

14131f2f98 tracing: implement trace_clock_*() APIs
Impact: implement new tracing timestamp APIs

Add three trace clock variants, with differing scalability/precision
tradeoffs:

 -   local: CPU-local trace clock
 -  medium: scalable global clock with some jitter
 -  global: globally monotonic, serialized clock

Make the ring-buffer use the local trace clock internally.
