[PATCH v2 02/13] time/sched_clock: Provide sched_clock_noinstr()

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Fri May 19 2023 - 06:34:41 EST


With the intent to provide local_clock_noinstr(), a variant of
local_clock() that's safe to be called from noinstr code (with the
assumption that any such code will already be non-preemptible),
prepare for things by providing a noinstr sched_clock_noinstr() function.

Specifically, preempt_enable_*() calls out to schedule(), which upsets
noinstr validation efforts.

As such, pull out the preempt_{dis,en}able_notrace() requirements from
the sched_clock_read() implementations by explicitly providing it in
the sched_clock() function.

This further requires said sched_clock_read() functions to be noinstr
themselves, for ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR users. See the next few patches.
