Series x86/BPF: Add new BPF helper call bpf_rdtsc | expand

Commit Message

Add selftest for bpf_rdtsc() which reads the TSC (Time Stamp Counter) on
x86_64 architectures. The test reads the TSC from both userspace and the
BPF program, and verifies the TSC values are in incremental order as
expected. The test is automatically skipped on architectures that do not
support the feature.

I think its ok but note this could fail if user doesn't have
access to rdtscp and iirc that can be restricted?

It is possible to restrict RDTSC access from userspace by enabling the 
TSD bit in CR4 register, and it will cause the userspace process to trap 
with general protection fault.

However, the usage of RDTSC appears to be built-in to C standard 
libraries (probably some timer routines) and enabling the CR4 TSD makes 
the system near unusable. Things like sshd + systemd also start 
generating the same general protection faults if RDTSC is blocked. Also, 
attempting to run anything at all with the BPF selftest suite causes the 
same general protection fault; not only the rdtsc test.

I tried this with couple of setups, one system running a minimalistic 
buildroot and another one running a fedora37 installation and the 
results were similar.

Thanks. Good enough for me.
