| sched: make cpu_clock() globally synchronous
|
| Alexey Zaytsev reported (and bisected) that the introduction of
| cpu_clock() in printk made the timestamps jump back and forth.
|
| Make cpu_clock() more reliable while still keeping it fast when it's
| called frequently.

causes watchdog triggers when a cpu exits NOHZ state when it has been
there for >= the soft lockup threshold, for example here are some
messages from a 128 cpu Niagara2 box:

It's simple enough to trigger this by doing a 10 minute sleep after a
fresh bootup then starting a parallel kernel build.
I suspect this might be reintroducing a problem we've had and fixed
before, see the thread:

<---------------|
touch the softlockup watchdog when exiting NOHZ state - we are
obviously not locked up.
