   5 *
   6 * Implements 3 trace clock variants, with differing scalability/precision
   7 * tradeoffs:
   8 *
   9 *  -   local: CPU-local trace clock
  10 *  -  medium: scalable global clock with some jitter
  11 *  -  global: globally monotonic, serialized clock
  12 *
  13 * Tracer plugins will chose a default from these clocks.
