The tracing code used sched_clock() to get tracing timestamps, which
ends up calling xen_clocksource_read(). xen_clocksource_read() must
disable preemption, but if preemption tracing is enabled, this results
in infinite recursion.
I've only noticed this when boot-time tracing tests are enabled, but it
seems like a generic bug. It looks like it would also affect
kvm_clocksource_read().
