x86/arch_prctl: Add ARCH_[GET|SET]_CPUID
Intel supports faulting on the CPUID instruction beginning with Ivy Bridge.
When enabled, the processor will fault on attempts to execute the CPUID
instruction with CPL>0. Exposing this feature to userspace will allow a
ptracer to trap and emulate the CPUID instruction.
When supported, this feature is controlled by toggling bit 0 of
MSR_MISC_FEATURES_ENABLES. It is documented in detail in Section 2.3.2 of
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=243991
Implement a new pair of arch_prctls, available on both x86-32 and x86-64.
ARCH_GET_CPUID: Returns the current CPUID state, either 0 if CPUID faulting
is enabled (and thus the CPUID instruction is not available) or 1 if
CPUID faulting is not enabled.
ARCH_SET_CPUID: Set the CPUID state to the second argument. If
cpuid_enabled is 0 CPUID faulting will be activated, otherwise it will
be deactivated. Returns ENODEV if CPUID faulting is not supported on
this system.
The state of the CPUID faulting flag is propagated across forks, but reset
upon exec.
