Just an FYI. ftrace_now() is whatever the clock source is that is
specified by /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_clock. Which could be a slower
"global" clock, or even cycles. If that's what you want then this is
the right approach. But if you want something more accurate per cpu
(may not be accurate across CPUs) then you may want to use
trace_clock_local() (which is the "[local]" clock in the trace_clock
file.

Also, you should convert the above to:

  this_cpu_write(ts, ftrace_now(raw_smp_processor_id()));

As this_cpu_write is optimized over a per_cpu() use.

Use this_cpu_read(ts)

If cpu in the tracepoint will always be smp_processor_id() you don't
need to do that. It's already saved by the tracer.
