Re: Re: [PATCH 2/3] ftrace: add tracepoint for xtime

[Zhaolei]

Hello, Thomas

I done this patchset to add walltime display for ftrace.
I think it will make ftrace more convenient to use.

To make it work, I rebased a patch from Xiao Guangrong to add tracepoint
into xtime, so I can use this feture for my code.

Could you have a look at this patch?

Thanks
Zhaolei
