Hmm, I don't have a m32r cross compiler in my arsenal.

At that line there's:

static atomic64_t trace_counter;

I take it that m32r does not define an atomic64_t. Does this mean that
we can not use it? This code was taken from Peter, as it stated in the
commit log:

commit 6249687f76b69cc0b2ad34636f4a18d693ef3262
tracing: Add a counter clock for those that do not trust clocks

[...]

    The trace_clock_counter() is added from the attempt by Peter Zijlstra
    trying to convert the trace_clock_global() to it. I took Peter's counter
    code and made trace_clock_counter() instead, and added it to the choice
    of clocks. Just echo counter > /debug/tracing/trace_clock to activate
    it.

I think the fix to this is to add:

CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 to m32r.
