	__copy_tofrom_user_power7_vmx The new PowerPC VMX fast path (__copy_tofrom_user_power7_vmx) is not exercised by existing copyloops selftests. This patch updates the selftest to exercise the VMX variant, ensuring the VMX copy path is validated. Changes include: - COPY_LOOP=test___copy_tofrom_user_power7_vmx with -D VMX_TEST is used in existing selftest build targets. - Inclusion of ../utils.c to provide get_auxv_entry() for hardware feature detection. - At runtime, the test skips execution if Altivec is not available. - Copy sizes above VMX_COPY_THRESHOLD are used to ensure the VMX path is taken. This enables validation of the VMX fast path without affecting systems that do not support Altivec.

2018-08-08	selftests/powerpc/64: Test exception cases in copy_tofrom_user	Michael Ellerman
	This adds a set of test cases to test the behaviour of copy_tofrom_user when exceptions are encountered accessing the source or destination. Currently, copy_tofrom_user does not always copy as many bytes as possible when an exception occurs on a store to the destination, and that is reflected in failures in these tests. Based on a test program from Anton Blanchard.
