xen: drop xen_sched_clock in favour of using plain wallclock time
commit 8a22b999 upstream. xen_sched_clock only counts unstolen time. In principle this should be useful to the Linux scheduler so that it knows how much time a process actually consumed. But in practice this doesn't work very well as the scheduler expects the sched_clock time to be synchronized between cpus. It also uses sched_clock to measure the time a task spends sleeping, in which case "unstolen time" isn't meaningful. So just use plain xen_clocksource_read to return wallclock nanoseconds for sched_clock. Signed-off-by:Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by:
