529e25f646
This patch implements the PR_GET_TSC and PR_SET_TSC prctl() commands on the x86 platform (both 32 and 64 bit.) These commands control the ability to read the timestamp counter from userspace (the RDTSC instruction.) While the RDTSC instuction is a useful profiling tool, it is also the source of some non-determinism in ring-3. For deterministic replay applications it is useful to be able to trap and emulate (and record the outcome of) this instruction. This patch uses code earlier used to disable the timestamp counter for the SECCOMP framework. A side-effect of this patch is that the SECCOMP environment will now also disable the timestamp counter on x86_64 due to the addition of the TIF_NOTSC define on this platform. The code which enables/disables the RDTSC instruction during context switches is in the __switch_to_xtra function, which already handles other unusual conditions, so normal performance should not have to suffer from this change.
