um: time-travel: support time-travel protocol broadcast messages
Add a message type to the time-travel protocol to broadcast
a small (64-bit) value to all participants in a simulation.
The main use case is to have an identical message come to
all participants in a simulation, e.g. to separate out logs
for different tests running in a single simulation.
Down in the guts of time_travel_handle_message() we can't
use printk() and not even printk_deferred(), so just store
the message and print it at the start of the userspace()
function.
Unfortunately this means that other prints in the kernel
can actually bypass the message, but in most cases where
this is used, for example to separate test logs, userspace
will be involved. Also, even if we could use
printk_deferred(), we'd still need to flush it out in the
userspace() function since otherwise userspace messages
might cross it.
As a result, this is a reasonable compromise, there's no
need to have any core changes and it solves the main use
case we have for it.
