I am getting some odd behavior with your test example. Using your
pid.d with the additional line "tick-1sec { exit(0); }" to limit it to
one second runtime I get the following output

CPU     ID                    FUNCTION:NAME
  1  45220                     _sleep:entry
  1  45220                     _sleep:entry
....
  0  45220                     _sleep:entry

With 54932 lines of output for the "_sleep:entry". It jumps around on
the reported CPU, if I use cpuset to limit it to just one core then it
does not reduce the 50,000 lines of output but just reports all on a
single CPU.

My kernel was build yesterday, r212042
