It is not arch-specific because you can read a perf.data file
from one architecture on another architecture.

The TSC stuff was planned for Intel PT although it might now
be done differently.

Probably you should have CONFIG_X86_TSC and then select that
with CONFIG_X86. Later it can be selected with CONFIG_INTEL_PT
as well.
