A bunch of the time spent processing a CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID syscall
is spent taking various locks, and I think it could be worth adding a
fast path for the read-my-own-clock case in which we just disable
preemption and read the thing without any locks.
If we're actually going to go the vdso route, I'd like to make the
scheduler hooks clean. Peterz and/or John, what's the right way to
get an arch-specific callback with sum_exec_runtime and an up to date
sched_clock value during a context switch? I'd much rather not add
yet another rdtsc instruction to the scheduler.
