indeed. Does the fix below work for you?

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] sched: fix kernel warning on /proc/sched_debug access

Luis Henriques reported that with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y + CONFIG_PREEMPT_DEBUG=y +
CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y + CONFIG_LATENCYTOP=y enabled, the following warning
triggers when using latencytop:

This breakage was caused by me via:

  7cbaef9: sched: optimize sched_clock() a bit

Change the calls to cpu_clock().
