Nice work!
Please see my following comments.

Please add an error check for fwrite(). If clock_choice is invalid,
trace-cmd would better output the error report and die.

This implementation does not support multiple buffers.
trace_clock had better be changed after sub-buffers are created, I
think.

Example:
trace-cmd record -e sched --clock local -B foo -e block --clock x86-tsc
