selftests/powerpc/dexcr: Add hashst/hashchk test

Test the kernel DEXCR[NPHIE] interface and hashchk exception handling.

Introduces with it a DEXCR utils library for common DEXCR operations.

Volatile is used to prevent the compiler optimising away the signal
tests.

selftests/powerpc: Allow bind_to_cpu() to automatically pick CPU

All current users of bind_to_cpu() don't care _which_ CPU they get, just
that they are bound to a single free one. So alter the interface to

1. Accept a BIND_CPU_ANY value that tells it to automatically
pick a CPU
2. Return the picked CPU

And convert all these users to bind_to_cpu(BIND_CPU_ANY).

selftests/powerpc: Parse long/unsigned long value safely

Often a file is expected to hold an integral value. Existing functions
will use a C stdlib function like atoi or strtol to parse the file.
These operations are error prone, with complicated error conditions
(atoi returns 0 if not a number, and is undefined behaviour if not in
range. strtol returns 0 if not a number, and LONG_MIN/MAX if not in
range + sets errno to ERANGE).

selftests/powerpc: Fix online CPU selection

The size of the CPU affinity mask must be large enough for
systems with a very large number of CPUs. Otherwise, tests
which try to determine the first online CPU by calling
sched_getaffinity() will fail. This makes sure that the size
of the allocated affinity mask is dependent on the number of
CPUs as reported by get_nprocs_conf().

selftests/powerpc: Add a test of spectre_v2 mitigations

This test uses the PMU to count branch prediction hits/misses for a
known loop, and compare the result to the reported spectre v2
mitigation.

This gives us a way of sanity checking that the reported mitigation is
actually in effect.

Sample output for some cases, eg:

PM_BR_MPRED_PCACHE: result 213604201 running/enabled 5792771640
Miss percent 9 %
OK - Measured branch prediction rates match reported spectre v2 mitigation.

selftests/powerpc: Fix compilation issue due to asm label

We are using 'dscr_insn' as a label in inline asm to identify if a
SIGILL was generated by the mtspr instruction at that point. However,
with inline assembly, the compiler is still free to duplicate the asm
statement for optimization purposes, which results in the label being
defined twice with the error:
/tmp/ccerQCql.s:874: Error: symbol `dscr_insn' is already defined

With different compiler versions, we may also see:
/tmp/ccJzLDlN.o:(.toc+0x0): undefined reference to `dscr_insn'

Remove the use of the label in the inline assembly. Instead, just look
for the offending instruction in the signal handler.

selftests/powerpc: Add test to verify rfi flush across a system call

This adds a test to verify proper functioning of the rfi flush
capability implemented to mitigate meltdown. The test works by
measuring the number of L1d cache misses encountered while loading
data from memory. Across a system call, since the L1d cache is flushed
when rfi_flush is enabled, the number of cache misses is expected to
be relative to the number of cachelines corresponding to the data
being loaded.

The current system setting is reflected via powerpc/rfi_flush under
debugfs (assumed to be /sys/kernel/debug/). This test verifies the
expected result with rfi_flush enabled as well as when it is disabled.
