Subject: oltp ~10% regression with 2.6.27-rc5 on stoakley machine
Comparing with 2.6.27-rc4, oltp has ~10% regression with 2.6.27-rc5 on
8-core stoakley machine.
Run oltp with 8 threads 120 seconds, vmstat shows much more idle time, about ~30%

sched_clock: fix cpu_clock()
This patch fixes 3 issues:
a) it removes the dependency on jiffies, because jiffies are
incremented
by a single CPU, and the tick is not synchronized between CPUs.
Therefore
relying on it to calculate a window to clip whacky TSC values
doesn't work
as it can drift around.
So instead use [GTOD, GTOD+TICK_NSEC) as the window.
b) __update_sched_clock() did (roughly speaking):
delta = sched_clock() - scd->tick_raw;
clock += delta;
Which gives exponential growth, instead of linear.
c) allows the sched_clock_cpu() value to warp the u64 without
breaking.
the results are more reliable sched_clock() deltas:
