Histogram output:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/latency/latency_preempt/hist

Could you also add couple of test cases to tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/test.d/trigger?

Especially the sorting thing you mentioned in the other mail? Obviously first we need to figure out what is the expected behavior of it :)
