Move prctl tests from Documentation/prctl to selftests/prctl.

Remove prctl from Makefile to move the test. Update prctl Makefile to work
under selftests. prctl will not be run as part of selftests suite and will
not be included in install targets. They can be built separately for now.

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'

It probably makes sense to just skip building these tests when
we are cross compiling.

seccomp: Make syscall skipping and nr changes more consistent 2012-10-02T11:14:29+00:00 Andy Lutomirski luto@amacapital.net 2012-10-01T18:40:45+00:00 87b526d349b04c31d7b3a40b434eb3f825d22305 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.
