commit 89a83a0c69c81a25ce91002b90ca27ed86132a0a upstream.

Add a test modelled on the RFI flush test which counts the number
of L1D misses doing a simple syscall with the entry flush on and off.

For simplicity of backporting, this test duplicates a lot of code from
the upstream rfi_flush. This is cleaned up upstream, but we don't clean
it up here because it would involve bringing in even more commits.

typing 'make' inside tools/testing/selftests/powerpc gave a build
warning:

BUILD_TARGET=tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/security; mkdir -p $BUILD_TARGET; make OUTPUT=$BUILD_TARGET -k -C security all

make[1]: Failed to remake makefile '../../../../scripts/subarch.include'.

The build is one level deeper than lib.mk thinks it is. Set top_srcdir
to set things straight.

Note that the test program is still built.

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

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.

 __u64 and SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES to avoid printf() build errors.]
