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