tracing: Fix wraparound problems in "uptime" trace clock
The "uptime" trace clock added in:
commit 8aacf017b065a805d27467843490c976835eb4a5
tracing: Add "uptime" trace clock that uses jiffies
has wraparound problems when the system has been up more
than 1 hour 11 minutes and 34 seconds. It converts jiffies
to nanoseconds using:
(u64)jiffies_to_usecs(jiffy) * 1000ULL
but since jiffies_to_usecs() only returns a 32-bit value, it
truncates at 2^32 microseconds. An additional problem on 32-bit
systems is that the argument is "unsigned long", so fixing the
return value only helps until 2^32 jiffies (49.7 days on a HZ=1000
system).
Avoid these problems by using jiffies_64 as our basis, and
not converting to nanoseconds (we do convert to clock_t because
user facing API must not be dependent on internal kernel
HZ values).
