Subject: [PATCH] ARM: sched_clock: Add more notrace to prevent recursion

cyc_to_sched_clock() is called by sched_clock() and cyc_to_ns()
is called by cyc_to_sched_clock(). I suspect that some compilers
inline both of these functions into sched_clock() and so we've
been getting away without having a notrace marking. It seems that
my compiler isn't inlining cyc_to_sched_clock() though, so I'm
hitting a recursion bug when I enable the function graph tracer,
causing my system to crash. Marking these functions notrace fixes
it. Technically cyc_to_ns() doesn't need the notrace because it's
already marked inline, but let's just add it so that if we ever
remove inline from that function it doesn't blow up.

Anyone else seeing this problem?

Russell, should I put this into the patch tracker?

I'll throw this into the patch tracker tomorrow if nobody complains.

Or you could do so today.
