x86: Put back -pg to tsc.o and add no GCOV to vread_tsc_64.o
The commit 44259b1a Author: Andy Lutomirski <luto@MIT.EDU> x86-64: Move vread_tsc into a new file with sensible options Removed the -pg from tsc.o which caused the function graph tracer to go into an infinite function call recursion as it uses the tsc internally outside its recursion protection, thus tracing the tsc breaks the function graph tracer. This commit also added the file vread_tsc_64.c that gets used by vdso but failed to prevent GCOV from monkeying with it, causing userspace to try to access kernel data when GCOV was enabled. Thanks to Thomas Gleixner for pointing out GCOV as the likely culprit that added strange kernel accesses into the vread_tsc() call.
