Hi Binoy,

Some minor nitpicking.

As Steven already pointed out, the cpu field is available in all traces. 
It's one of the predefined fields (see 
kernel/trace/trace_events.c/trace_define_generic_fields()). Just drop it.

Come to think of it, the TS_ prefix doesn't really make sense, maybe LT_ 
would be more consistent (short hand for latency type).

empty line here

Introduce a inline function like the latency_trace() function. No need 
to open code this logic 3 times.

Please follow the style of the rest of the file. Just drop the brackets.

Same thing.

And here too.
