For this particular thing I think you can use a simple per-cpu variable;
we don't do nested interrupts.

DEFINE_PER_CPU(u64, my_timestamp);

static notrace void my_entry(unsigned int irq, struct irq_action *action)
{
	this_cpu_write(my_timestamp, sched_clock());
}

static notrace void my_exit(unsigned int irq, struct irq_action *action)
{
	u64 delta = sched_clock() - this_cpu_read(my_timestamp);
	WARN_ON_ONCE(delta > biggie);
}

__init int mod_init(void)
{
	register_trace_irq_handler_exit(my_exit, NULL);
	register_trace_irq_handler_entry(my_entry, NULL);
}

Should work, no?
