[PATCH 14/23 -v8] Add tracing of context switches
From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed Jan 30 2008 - 16:08:51 EST
This patch adds context switch tracing, of the format of:
_------=> CPU#
/ _-----=> irqs-off
| / _----=> need-resched
|| / _---=> hardirq/softirq
||| / _--=> preempt-depth
|||| /
||||| delay
cmd pid ||||| time | caller
\ / ||||| \ | /
