[PATCH] trace: extend trace_clock to support arch_arm clock counter

From: Srinivas Ramana
Date: Fri Dec 02 2016 - 03:15:32 EST


Extend the trace_clock to support the arch timer cycle
counter so that we can get the monotonic cycle count
in the traces. This will help in correlating the traces with the
timestamps/events in other subsystems in the soc which share
this common counter for driving their timers.
