tracing: Add irq, preempt-count and need resched info to default trace output
...
People keep asking how to get the preempt count, irq, and need resched info
and we keep telling them to enable the latency format. Some developers think
that traces without this info is completely useless, and for a lot of tasks
it is useless.
The first option was to enable the latency trace as the default format, but
the header for the latency format is pretty useless for most tracers and
it also does the timestamp in straight microseconds from the time the trace
started. This is sometimes more difficult to read as the default trace is
seconds from the start of boot up.
Latency format:
# tracer: nop
#
# nop latency trace v1.1.5 on 3.2.0-rc1-test+
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# latency: 0 us, #159771/64234230, CPU#1 | (M:preempt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:4)
# -----------------
# | task: -0 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:0 rt_prio:0)
# -----------------
#
# _------=> CPU#
# / _-----=> irqs-off
# | / _----=> need-resched
# || / _---=> hardirq/softirq
# ||| / _--=> preempt-depth

The latency format header has latency information that is pretty meaningless
for most tracers. Although some of the header is useful, and we can add that
later to the default format as well.
What is really useful with the latency format is the irqs-off, need-resched
hard/softirq context and the preempt count.
This commit adds the option irq-info which is on by default that adds this
information:
# tracer: nop
#
# _-----=> irqs-off
# / _----=> need-resched
# | / _---=> hardirq/softirq
# || / _--=> preempt-depth
# ||| / delay
# TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION

<idle>-0 [000] d..2 49.309315: need_resched <-mwait_idle
If a user wants the old format, they can disable the 'irq-info' option:
# tracer: nop
#
# TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION
# | | | | |
