[RFD 0/5] Add latency histogram

[Daniel Wagner]

Hi,

I would like to discuss a possible way of getting the feature of the
latecy_hist.patch [1] added to mainline.

"Latency histograms are primarily relevant in the context of real-time
enabled kernels (CONFIG_PREEMPT/CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT)and are used in the
quality management of the Linux real-time capabilities."

Steven pointed out that this might be doable based on Tom Zanussi's
"[PATCH v4 0/7] tracing: 'hist' triggers" [2].

Here are my findings. It was not too complicated to get it working,
though I had to add some hacks. I have added comments to each patch.

cheers,
daniel
