Could there be cases that 500ms is too long so 1s should be the
threshold? Hard coded 2 seconds makes this less useful. How about
making it configurable with a default of 2 sec?

Any reason this can't be tristate?

If you make binder_latency_tracer a module, then we could include
these fields unconditionally. Please add comments or give them better
names so it is obvious what they are for.

I still don't get why 2sec is magical. Should this threshold be configurable?

Why is the lock needed here?
