Besides the problem with the wakeup tracer I see traces with
preemptirqsoff that I think are invalid:

# tracer: preemptirqsoff
#
# preemptirqsoff latency trace v1.1.5 on 2.6.31-rc8-rt9-rt_trace

  <idle>-0      24dN.1  336us : trace_preempt_on <-start_secondary

I have set kernel.ftrace_enabled = 1 but still not a single function
is recorded in tick_nohz_stop_idle().

Any ideas?
