Subject: [PATCH 03/32] ring-buffer: Add interface for setting absolute time
 stamps
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.11/older/patches-4.11.8-rt5.tar.xz

Define a new function, tracing_set_time_stamp_abs(), which can be used
to enable or disable the use of absolute timestamps rather than time
deltas for a trace array.

This resets the buffer to prevent a mix of time deltas and absolute
timestamps.

Only the interface is added here; a subsequent patch will add the
underlying implementation.
