Subject: [patch] x86_64: fix sched_clock()
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>

sched_clock() is totally broken on x86_64, because it is not defined by
the architecture at all! It fell the victim to the opaqueness of
__attribute__((weak)) and to non-testing.

the i386 version was supposed to be used. This patch fixes that. Booted
and tested on x86_64 and i386.
