Sorry I haven't followed the thread, but I was wondering why you changed
the name of the entry and exit tracepoints (ie timer_entry/timer_exit).

I think consistent naming is important to match the other static
tracepoints, such as softirq_entry/softirq_exit, irq_entry/irq_exit and
tasklet_entry/tasklet_exit.
