Subject: [PATCH v2] MIPS: Add a high resolution sched_clock() via cnt32_to_63().
From: Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@...il.com>
(This v2 revision adds the missing CONFIG_HR_SCHED_CLOCK around
sched_clock().)
This patch adds a cnt32_to_63() and MIPS c0 count based sched_clock(),
which can provide high resolution. and also, two new kernel options are
added. the HR_SCHED_CLOCK is used to enable/disable this sched_clock(),
and the HT_SCHED_CLOCK_UPDATE is used to allow whether update the
sched_clock() automatically.
Without it, the Ftrace for MIPS will give useless timestamp information.
Because cnt32_to_63() needs to be called at least once per half period
to work properly, Differ from the old version, this v1 revision set up a
kernel timer to ensure the requirement of some MIPSs which have short c0
count period.
