    [POWERPC] Modify sched_clock() to make CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME more sane · fc9069fe

    When booting a current kernel with CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME enabled you'll
    see messages like:
    
    [    0.000000] time_init: decrementer frequency = 188.044000 MHz
    [    0.000000] time_init: processor frequency   = 1504.352000 MHz
    [3712914.436297] Console: colour dummy device 80x25
    
    This cause by the initialisation of tb_to_ns_scale in time_init(), suddenly the
    multiplication in sched_clock() now does something :).  This patch modifies
    sched_clock() to report the offset since the machine booted so the same
    printk's now look like:
    
    [    0.000000] time_init: decrementer frequency = 188.044000 MHz
    [    0.000000] time_init: processor frequency   = 1504.352000 MHz
    [    0.000135] Console: colour dummy device 80x25
    
    Effectivly including the uptime in printk()s.
    
    This patch makes tb_to_ns_scale and tb_to_ns_shift static and
    read_mostly for good measure.
