Newer binutils (&gt;= 2.36) refuse to assemble lmw/stmw when building in
little endian mode. That breaks compilation of our alignment handler
test:

  /tmp/cco4l14N.s: Assembler messages:
  /tmp/cco4l14N.s:1440: Error: `lmw' invalid when little-endian
  /tmp/cco4l14N.s:1814: Error: `stmw' invalid when little-endian
  make[2]: *** [../../lib.mk:139: /output/kselftest/powerpc/alignment/alignment_handler] Error 1

These tests do pass on little endian machines, as the kernel will
still emulate those instructions even when running little
endian (which is arguably a kernel bug).

But we don't really need to test that case, so ifdef those
instructions out to get the alignment test building again.

Since main() does not return a value explicitly, the
return values from FAIL_IF() conditions are ignored
and the tests can still pass irrespective of failures.
This makes sure that we always explicitly return the
correct test exit status.

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
rfi_flush. We clean that up in the next patch.

We are about to add an entry flush. The rfi (exit) flush test measures
the number of L1D flushes over a syscall with the RFI flush enabled and
disabled. But if the entry flush is also enabled, the effect of enabling
and disabling the RFI flush is masked.

If there is a debugfs entry for the entry flush, disable it during the RFI
flush and restore it later.

<title>selftests/powerpc/eeh: disable kselftest timeout setting for eeh-basic</title>

The eeh-basic test got its own 60 seconds timeout (defined in commit
414f50434aa2 "selftests/eeh: Bump EEH wait time to 60s") per breakable
device.

And we have discovered that the number of breakable devices varies
on different hardware. The device recovery time ranges from 0 to 35
seconds. In our test pool it will take about 30 seconds to run on a
Power8 system that with 5 breakable devices, 60 seconds to run on a
Power9 system that with 4 breakable devices.

Extend the timeout setting in the kselftest framework to 5 minutes
to give it a chance to finish.

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:

 - A fix for undetected data corruption on Power9 Nimbus &lt;= DD2.1 in the
   emulation of VSX loads. The affected CPUs were not widely available.

 - Two fixes for machine check handling in guests under PowerVM.

 - A fix for our recent changes to SMP setup, when
   CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y.

 - Three fixes for races in the handling of some of our powernv sysfs
   attributes.

 - One change to remove TM from the set of Power10 CPU features.

 - A couple of other minor fixes.
