Got it.

If someone wants to use tracing without TIMER_EARLY then

- initr_dm() will make gd->dm_root = NULL; and gd->timer = NULL; and
__cyg_profile_func_enter () will call timer_get_us() -> get_ticks() -> dm_timer_init().

dm_timer_init() will not able to initialize timer and return an error.

We need to find any solution for this.
