Well, trying to do that like so...

trace-cmd record -M 8 -p function -e irq:* -e irq_vectors:local* -e timer:hrtimer*  -- sleep 1

..capture takes much more than a second...

...but more importantly, when it gets cranked up..

homer:~/tmp # trace-cmd report > report
homer:~/tmp # grep local_timer_entry report|wc -l
252

...it scares the problem away.

(4 cpus because I fired up cpuset shield, isolates 2-3, takes 4-7 down)
