With the intent to provide local_clock_noinstr(), a variant of
local_clock() that's safe to be called from noinstr code (with the
assumption that any such code will already be non-preemptible),
prepare for things by providing a noinstr sched_clock_noinstr() function.
Specifically, preempt_enable_*() calls out to schedule(), which upsets
noinstr validation efforts.
As such, pull out the preempt_{dis,en}able_notrace() requirements from
the sched_clock_read() implementations by explicitly providing it in
the sched_clock() function.
This further requires said sched_clock_read() functions to be noinstr
themselves, for ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR users. See the next few patches.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
