Ajeet,
    Sorry, by TRACER, do you mean PREEMPT_TRACER or something else? And 
what specific 2.6.X kernel were you using?

Steven, I'm seeing:
config PREEMPT_TRACER
        bool "Preemption-off Latency Tracer"
        default n
        depends on !ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET

Do you have any context as to why is !ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET flagged here?

thanks
