[RFC] tracing: Add support for critical section event tracing

Show key headers only | View raw

Critical section trace events can be used for tracing the start and
end of a critical section which can be used by a trace viewer like
systrace to graphically view the start and end of a critical section and
correlate them with latencies and scheduling issues.

Reason for starting critical section:
Either preemption or interrupts were turned off.
Reason for ending critical section:
Both preemption and interrupts are now turned back on.

Here's an example of how Android's systrace will be using it to show critical
sections as a gantt chart: http://imgur.com/download/TZplEVp
