    Subject[PATCH v2 2/3] tracing: reset ring buffer when changing trace_clocks
    Date
    Because the "tsc" clock isn't in nanoseconds, the ring buffer must be
    reset when changing clocks so that incomparable timestamps don't end up
    in the same trace.

    Tested: Confirmed switching clocks resets the trace buffer.
