  • Impact: implement new tracing timestamp APIs

    Add three trace clock variants, with differing scalability/precision
    tradeoffs:

    - local: CPU-local trace clock
    - medium: scalable global clock with some jitter
    - global: globally monotonic, serialized clock

    Make the ring-buffer use the local trace clock internally.
