Subject[PATCH 2/3] x86: Implement prctl PR_GET_TSC and PR_SET_TSC

x86: Implement prctl PR_GET_TSC and PR_SET_TSC

This patch adds a configure option CONFIG_DISABLE_TSC
(off by default) for the x86 platform to enable the
PR_GET_TSC and PR_SET_TSC commands. These control the
ability to use the timestamp counter from userspace
(the RDTSC instruction.)

This patch uses code earlier used to disable the
timestamp counter for the SECCOMP framework. It used
to disable the RDTSC on 32 bit kernels, but allow it
on x86_64. This patch makes SECCOMP disable the
timestamp counter whenever CONFIG_DISABLE_TSC is
enabled.

The default yes will allow the kernel to do irq load balancing.

+ While the RDTSC instruction allows for very precise time
+ measurements, it is also a source for non-determinism
+ during the execution of a process which can be a problem in some
+ security contexts. This option adds prctl commands to configure
+ and test the availability of the RDTSC instruction on a
+ per-process basis. Choosing this option may cause a small
+ performance hit during context switching.
