From: Wu Zhangjin <wuzj@xxxxxxxxxx>
by default, trace_clock_local calling sched_clock(jiffies-based) to get
timestamp, in x86, there is a tsc(64bit) based sched_clock, but in mips,
the 'tsc'(clock counter) is only 32bit long, which will easily rollover,
and there is no existing high precise sched_clock in mips, we need to
get one ourselves.
to avoid invading the whole linux-mips, i do not want to implement a
tsc-based native_sched_clock instead of sched_clock like x86 does.
because, there is a need to handling rollover of the only 32-bit long
'tsc' of mips, which will need extra overhead. in reality, i have tried
to do it, but made the kernel hangs when booting, I'm not sure why it
not work.
so, I just implement a native_sched_clock in arch/mips/kernel/ftrace.c,
but not override the original sched_clock(). to get high precise
timestamp, we implement a native_trace_clock_local, which will not call
original sched_clock again, but native_sched_clock().
and what about the trace_clock and trace_clock_global function, should
we also implement a mips-secific one? I'm not sure.
