The following was seen in linux-next build coverage, which is somewhat
unique since it uses powerpc host to cross compile x86:
Documentation/prctl/disable-tsc-on-off-stress-test.c:36:1: error:
impossible register constraint in 'asm'
Documentation/prctl/disable-tsc-ctxt-sw-stress-test.c:34:1: error:
impossible register constraint in 'asm'
Documentation/prctl/disable-tsc-test.c:36:1: error: impossible
register constraint in 'asm'
It probably makes sense to just skip building these tests when
we are cross compiling.

The prctl test code in Documentation/ tries to show how to
use a call that only makes sense on x86. Restrict it there
so that other platforms don't try to call asm("rdtsc").

This fixes two issues that could cause incompatibility between
kernel versions:
- If a tracer uses SECCOMP_RET_TRACE to select a syscall number
higher than the largest known syscall, emulate the unknown
vsyscall by returning -ENOSYS. (This is unlikely to make a
noticeable difference on x86-64 due to the way the system call
entry works.)
- On x86-64 with vsyscall=emulate, skipped vsyscalls were buggy.
This updates the documentation accordingly.

The documentation didn't actually mention how to enable no_new_privs.
This also adds a note about possible interactions between
no_new_privs and LSMs (i.e. why teaching systemd to set no_new_privs
is not necessarily a good idea), and it references the new docs
from include/linux/prctl.h.

Documents how system call filtering using Berkeley Packet
Filter programs works and how it may be used.
Includes an example for x86 and a semi-generic
example using a macro-based code generator.

This patch adds three tests that test whether the PR_GET_TSC and
PR_SET_TSC commands have the desirable effect.
The tests check whether the control register is updated correctly
at context switches and try to discover bugs while enabling/disabling
the timestamp counter.
