perf/core almost super clean:

[acme@felicio linux]$ patch -p1 < /wb/1.patch 
patching file arch/x86/events/core.c
patching file arch/x86/include/asm/timer.h
patching file arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c
patching file include/linux/sched/clock.h
patching file kernel/sched/clock.c
Hunk #3 succeeded at 154 with fuzz 2 (offset -7 lines).
Hunk #4 succeeded at 231 (offset -7 lines).
Hunk #5 succeeded at 317 (offset -7 lines).
