Subject[PATCH 14/23 -v6] Add tracing of context switches
This patch adds context switch tracing, of the format of:

                 _------=> CPU#            
                / _-----=> irqs-off        
               | / _----=> need-resched    
               || / _---=> hardirq/softirq 
               ||| / _--=> preempt-depth   
               |||| /                      
               |||||     delay             
   cmd     pid ||||| time  |   caller      
      \   /    |||||   \   |   /
