[for-next][PATCH 2/2] tracing: Record and show NMI state

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed Mar 23 2016 - 08:25:30 EST


From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The latency tracer format has a nice column to indicate IRQ state, but
this is not able to tell us about NMI state.

When tracing perf interrupt handlers (which often run in NMI context)
it is very useful to see how the events nest.
