This patch introduces a cpu time clock for s390 (only ticking if
the virtual cpu is running) and bases the s390 implementation of
sched_clock() on it.
The time slice length on a virtual cpu can be anything between the
calculated time slice and zero. In reality this doesn't seem to be
problem, since the scheduler is fair enough to not let a single
process starve but the current implementation can lead to inefficient
short time slices.
By providing a 'virtual' sched_clock() we improve the scheduler
fairness, regardless of scheduling decisions from the hypervisor.
We also lay a foundation to base process accouting on virtual cpu
time without CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING.
