4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alexey Brodkin <alexey.brodkin@synopsys.com>

commit bf287607c80f24387fedb431a346dc67f25be12c upstream.

It turned out we used to use default implementation of sched_clock()
from kernel/sched/clock.c which was as precise as 1/HZ, i.e.
by default we had 10 msec granularity of time measurement.

Now given ARC built-in timers are clocked with the same frequency as
CPU cores we may get much higher precision of time tracking.

Thus we switch to generic sched_clock which really reads ARC hardware
counters.

This is especially helpful for measuring short events.
That's what we used to have:
------------------------------>8------------------------
$ perf stat /bin/sh -c /root/lmbench-master/bin/arc/hello > /dev/null

 Performance counter stats for '/bin/sh -c /root/lmbench-master/bin/arc/hello':

         10.000000      task-clock (msec)         #    2.832 CPUs utilized
                 1      context-switches          #    0.100 K/sec
                 1      cpu-migrations            #    0.100 K/sec
                63      page-faults               #    0.006 M/sec

And now we'll see:

------------------------------>8------------------------

Note how much more meaningful is the second output - time spent for
execution pretty much matches number of cycles spent (we're runnign
@ 1GHz here).
