selftests/powerpc: Include asm/cputable.h from utils.h

2020-09-08T12:23:59Z

utils.h provides have_hwcap() and have_hwcap2() which check for a feature bit. Those bits are defined in asm/cputable.h, so include it in utils.h so users of utils.h don't have to do it manually.

selftests/powerpc: Skip vmx/vsx/tar/etc tests on older CPUs

2020-08-03T12:12:41Z

Some of our tests use VSX or newer VMX instructions, so need to be skipped on older CPUs to avoid SIGILL'ing. Similarly TAR was added in v2.07, and the PMU event used in the stcx fail test only works on Power8 or later.

selftests/powerpc: Add a test of counting larx/stcx

2020-05-15T01:58:55Z

This is based on the count_instructions test. However this one also counts the number of failed stcx's, and in conjunction with knowing the size of the stcx loop, can calculate the total number of instructions executed even in the face of non-deterministic stcx failures.
