Tony Luck found that using the "uptime" trace clock that uses jiffies

as a counter was converted to nanoseconds (silly), and after 1 hour
 11 minutes and 34 seconds, this monotonic clock would wrap, causing
 havoc with the tracing system and making the clock useless.
 
 He converted that clock to use jiffies_64 and made it into a counter
 instead of nanosecond conversions, and displayed the clock with the
 straight jiffy count, which works much better than it did in the past.
