[PATCH v2] sched/clock: print a log when the sched clock is marked unstable

From: Ani Sinha
Date: Wed Jul 07 2021 - 06:57:33 EST


When the sched clock transitions from stable to unstable and
vice versa, a kernel log is printed. When the sched clock
is marked explicitly as unstable, make __clear_sched_clock_stable()
emit a warning log. It is useful for example in understanding
why a certain feature like NOHZ that depends on availability of a
stable sched clock, is not available.
