Hi,

next-20170220 fails to build on Power 8 (PowerVM LPAR) with these errors.

with same config, next-20170215 builds fine.

the config file used is attached, by default
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE was not set.

(X) Simple tick based cputime accounting
( ) Deterministic task and CPU time accounting
( ) Full dynticks CPU time accounting

arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c: In function ‘running_clock’:

Note*: Problem is not seen when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE is enabled i.e

( ) Simple tick based cputime accounting

( ) Full dynticks CPU time accounting

    This cputime_t implementation is now unused, we can remove it.
