The local_clock/cpu_clock functions were changed to prevent a double
identical test with sched_clock_cpu() when HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK
is set. That resulted in one line functions.

As these functions are in all the cases one line functions and in the
hot path, it is useful to specify them as static inline in order to
give a strong hint to the compiler.

After verification, it appears the compiler does not inline them
without this hint. Change those functions to static inline.

Actually I based the patches on top of tip/sched/core.

Shall I rebase them against v4.6-rc3 ?

Ah, yes. I received a compilation error because of a missing 
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for an inlined function call from kbuild test:

ERROR: "sched_clock_cpu" [kernel/torture.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "sched_clock_cpu" [drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko] undefined!

So I resent a fixed V2.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/4/11/603
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/4/11/602

Sorry, I did not notice you were mentioning the first version which is 
outdated. The V2 is based on top of 2b8c41daba32.
