Steven Rostedt c300ba2528 sched_clock: and multiplier for TSC to gtod drift
The sched_clock code currently tries to keep all CPU clocks of all CPUS
somewhat in sync. At every clock tick it records the gtod clock and
uses that and jiffies and the TSC to calculate a CPU clock that tries to
stay in sync with all the other CPUs.

ftrace depends heavily on this timer and it detects when this timer
"jumps".  One problem is that the TSC and the gtod also drift.
When the TSC is 0.1% faster or slower than the gtod it is very noticeable
in ftrace. To help compensate for this, I've added a multiplier that
tries to keep the CPU clock updating at the same rate as the gtod.

I've tried various ways to get it to be in sync and this ended up being
the most reliable. At every scheduler tick we calculate the new multiplier:

  multi = delta_gtod / delta_TSC

This means we perform a 64 bit divide at the tick (once a HZ). A shift
is used to handle the accuracy.

Other methods that failed due to dynamic HZ are:

(not used)  multi += (gtod - tsc) / delta_gtod
(not used)  multi += (gtod - (last_tsc + delta_tsc)) / delta_gtod

as well as other variants.

This code still allows for a slight drift between TSC and gtod, but
it keeps the damage down to a minimum.

/*
* sched_clock for unstable cpu clocks
*
* Copyright (C) 2008 Red Hat, Inc., Peter Zijlstra <pzijlstr@redhat.com>
*
* Updates and enhancements:
* Copyright (C) 2008 Red Hat, Inc. Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
*
* Based on code by:
* Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>
* Guillaume Chazarain <guichaz@gmail.com>
*
* Create a semi stable clock from a mixture of other events, including:
* - gtod
* - jiffies
* - sched_clock()
* - explicit idle events
*
* We use gtod as base and the unstable clock deltas. The deltas are filtered,
* making it monotonic and keeping it within an expected window. This window
* is set up using jiffies.
*
* Furthermore, explicit sleep and wakeup hooks allow us to account for time
* that is otherwise invisible (TSC gets stopped).
*
* The clock: sched_clock_cpu() is monotonic per cpu, and should be somewhat
* consistent between cpus (never more than 1 jiffies difference).
