sched/clock, x86/tsc: Rework the x86 'unstable' sched_clock() interface
Wanpeng Li reported that since the following commit:
acb0405 ("sched/clock: Fix hotplug crash")
... KVM always runs with unstable sched-clock even though KVM's
kvm_clock _is_ stable.
The problem is that we've tied clear_sched_clock_stable() to the TSC
state, and overlooked that sched_clock() is a paravirt function.
Solve this by doing two things:
- tie the sched_clock() stable state more clearly to the TSC stable
state for the normal (!paravirt) case.
- only call clear_sched_clock_stable() when we mark TSC unstable
when we use native_sched_clock().
The first means we can actually run with stable sched_clock in more
situations then before, which is good. And since commit:
12907fb ("sched/clock, clocksource: Add optional cs::mark_unstable() method")
... this should be reliable. Since any detection of TSC fail now results
in marking the TSC unstable.
