ftrace: Add latency histograms of missed timer offsets

A source of system latencies not yet considered in the histograms
of effective latencies are delayed timer interrupts. Such latencies
are mainly due to disabled interrupts. Recording of effective latencies
allows to continuously monitor a system's real-time capabilities
under real-world conditions.

This patch adds latency histograms of missed timer offsets. If the
timer belongs to a sleeper that is about to wakeup a task and the
latency is higher than previous latencies of such timers, some data
of this task are recorded as well.

+Wakeup latencies may occur during wakeup of a process. To determine
+wakeup latencies, the kernel stores the time stamp when a process is
+scheduled to be woken up, and determines the duration of the wakeup time
+shortly before control is passed over to this process. Note that the

+i) interrupts may be disabled preventing the timer from waking up a process
+in time
 ii) the process may be interrupted after control is passed over to it
 but before user space execution takes place.

+* Missed timer latencies
+
+Missed timer latencies occur when a timer interrupt is serviced later
+than it should. This is mainly due to disabled interrupts. To determine
+the missed timer latency, the expected and the real execution time of a
+timer are compared. If the former precedes the latter, the difference is
+entered into the missed timer offsets histogram. If the timer is
+responsible to wakeup a sleeping process and the latency is highest so
+far among previous wakeup timers, details of the related task are stored
+as well (see below).
