This adds a test of the switch_endian() syscall we added in the previous
commit.
We test it by calling the endian switch syscall, and then executing some
code in the other endian to check everything went as expected. That code
checks registers we expect to be maintained are. If the endian switch
failed to happen that code sequence will be illegal and cause the test
to abort.
We then switch back to the original endian, do the same checks and
finally write a success message and exit(0).

This patch changes the name of the make variable TARGETS, to prevent it
from colliding with a value set by the user on the command line (as they
are recommended to do by tools/testing/selftests/README.txt).
Without this patch, "make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=powerpc"
will fail.

The goal is to verify vphn_unpack_associativity() parses VPHN numbers
correctly. We feed it with a variety of input values and compare with
expected results.
PAPR+ does not say much about VPHN parsing: I came up with a list of
tests that check many simple cases and some corner ones. I wouldn't
dare to say the list is exhaustive though.

It is a rarely exercised case, so we want to have a test to ensure it

Currently we ignore errors from our sub Makefiles. We inherited that
from the top-level selftests Makefile which aims to build and run as
many tests as possible and damn the torpedoes.
For the powerpc tests we'd instead like any errors to fail the build, so
we can automatically catch build failures.
We can achieve the best of both worlds by using -k, which tells make to
keep building when it hits an error, but still reports the error.

Correct the DSCR SPR becoming temporarily corrupted if a task is
context switched during a transaction.
The problem occurs while suspending the task and is caused by saving
the DSCR to thread.dscr after it has already been set to the CPU's
default value:
__switch_to() calls __switch_to_tm()
which calls tm_reclaim_task()
which calls tm_reclaim_thread()
which calls tm_reclaim()
where the DSCR is set to the CPU's default
__switch_to() calls _switch()
where thread.dscr is set to the DSCR
When the task is resumed, it's transaction will be doomed (as usual)
and the DSCR SPR will be corrupted, although the checkpointed value
will be correct. Therefore the DSCR will be immediately corrected by
the transaction aborting, unless it has been suspended. In that case
the incorrect value can be seen by the task until it resumes the
transaction.
The fix is to treat the DSCR similarly to the TAR and save it early
in __switch_to().
A program exposing the problem is added to the kernel self tests as:
tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/tm/tm-resched-dscr.

Turn Anton's memcpy / copy_tofrom_user test into something that can
live in tools/testing/selftests.
It requires one turd in arch/powerpc/lib/memcpy_64.S, but it's pretty
harmless IMHO.
We are sailing very close to the wind with the feature macros. We define
them to nothing, which currently means we get a few extra nops and
include the unaligned calls.

This commit adds a test of instruction counting using the PMU on powerpc.
Although the bulk of the code is architecture agnostic, the code needs to
run a precisely sized loop which is implemented in assembler.

On other architectures nothing is built. The makefile supports cross
