The whole issue for him, AFAIK, is to correlate perf events with app
events.

Think about tcpdump + networking tracepoints or 'perf probe' dynamic
events in the network stack, he wants to merge those logs and correlate
the tcpdump packet exchange with the tracepoints events in the network
stack, etc.

I.e. it doesn't matter if it is ftrace or not, having a common clock
shared between apps and kernel tracing/whatever infrastructure is what
David is after, right?

He can change userspace to use the clock the kernel is using in the
perf/ftrace/whatever infrastructure or make the kernel use the clock
userspace uses.

The issue here is who will bend, u or k ;-)
