how about creating a generic handler for all the "to long" writes, that receives
a structure containing a pointer to where to save the value, a min and a max
acceptable value?

If so, where to place this function? trace.c?

Yes, I can. I placed it in ns to serve as a fine tune that one might need. But,
I can use the tracing_threshold in us as well.

I agree, I will remove the tracing overhead part.

I need to rephrase that.... I meant that when we have two or more "noise"
stacked, e.g., a thread noise happening, and then an IRQ noise happens on top of
it, the noise from the TOP will be discounted, e.g., the IRQ noise added to the
thread noise will be discounted. Like...

osnoise_running
--------> thread noise in
run 5 us
----------------> IRQ noise
run 3 us
<---------------- print duration 3 us
run 1 us
<--------- print duration 6 us (not 9 us).

Making this computation in kernel reduces the amount of events printed in the
buffer.
