sched/clock: Provide local_clock_noinstr()
Now that all ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR architectures (arm64, loongarch, s390, x86) provide sched_clock_noinstr(), use this to provide local_clock_noinstr(). This local_clock_noinstr() will be safe to use from noinstr code with the assumption that any such noinstr code is non-preemptible (it had better be, entry code will have IRQs disabled while __cpuidle must have preemption disabled). Specifically, preempt_enable_notrace(), a common part of many a sched_clock() implementation calls out to schedule() -- even though, per the above, it will never trigger -- which frustrates noinstr validation. vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: local_clock+0xb5: call to preempt_schedule_notrace_thunk() leaves .noinstr.text section Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Tested-by: Michael Kelley <mikelley@microsoft.com> # Hyper-V Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230519102715.978624636@infradead.org
