[RFC][PATCH 15/21] tracing: Add usecs modifier for hist trigger timestamps

From: Tom Zanussi
Date: Wed Feb 08 2017 - 12:29:48 EST


Appending .usecs onto a common_timestamp field will cause the
timestamp value to be in microseconds instead of the default
nanoseconds. A typical latency histogram using usecs would look like
this:

# echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs ...
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-ts0 ...

This also adds an external trace_clock_in_ns() to trace.c for the
timestamp conversion.
