Subject: [PATCH 32/32] tracing: Add a clock attribute for hist triggers
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.11/older/patches-4.11.9-rt7.tar.xz
The default clock if timestamps are used in a histogram is "global".
If timestamps aren't used, the clock is irrelevant.
Use the "clock=" param only if you want to override the default
"global" clock for a histogram with timestamps.

+A note on inter-event timestamps: If $common_timestamp is used in a
+histogram, the trace buffer is automatically switched over to using
+absolute timestamps and the "global" trace clock, in order to avoid
+bogus timestamp differences with other clocks that aren't coherent
+across CPUs. This can be overriden by specifying one of the other
+trace clocks instead, using the "clock=XXX" hist trigger attribute,
+where XXX is any of the clocks listed in the tracing/trace_clock
+pseudo-file.

These features are decribed in more detail in the following sections.
