Consistently testing system parameter access is a bit difficult by
nature -- the set of parameters available depends on the model and
system configuration, and updating a parameter should be considered a
destructive operation reserved for the admin.

So we validate some of the error paths and retrieve the SPLPAR
characteristics string, but not much else.

Add selftests for /dev/papr-vpd, exercising the common expected use
cases:

* Retrieve all VPD by passing an empty location code.
* Retrieve the "system VPD" by passing a location code derived from DT
  root node properties, as done by the vpdupdate command.

The tests also verify that certain intended properties of the driver
hold:

* Passing an unterminated location code to PAPR_VPD_CREATE_HANDLE gets
  EINVAL.
* Passing a NULL location code pointer to PAPR_VPD_CREATE_HANDLE gets
  EFAULT.
* Closing the device node without first issuing a
  PAPR_VPD_CREATE_HANDLE command to it succeeds.
* Releasing a handle without first consuming any data from it
  succeeds.
* Re-reading the contents of a handle returns the same data as the
  first time.

Some minimal validation of the returned data is performed.

The tests are skipped on systems where the papr-vpd driver does not
initialize, making this useful only on PowerVM LPARs at this point.

<title>selftests/powerpc: Fix emit_tests to work with run_kselftest.sh</title>

<id>58b33e78a31782ffe25d404d5eba9a45fe636e27</id>
<content type='text'>
In order to use run_kselftest.sh the list of tests must be emitted to
populate kselftest-list.txt.

The powerpc Makefile is written to use EMIT_TESTS. But support for
EMIT_TESTS was dropped in commit d4e59a536f50 ("selftests: Use runner.sh
for emit targets"). Although prior to that commit a548de0fe8e1
("selftests: lib.mk: add test execute bit check to EMIT_TESTS") had
already broken run_kselftest.sh for powerpc due to the executable check
using the wrong path.

It can be fixed by replacing the EMIT_TESTS definitions with actual
emit_tests rules in the powerpc Makefiles. This makes run_kselftest.sh
able to run powerpc tests:

  $ cd linux
  $ export ARCH=powerpc
  $ export CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc64le-linux-gnu-
  $ make headers
  $ make -j -C tools/testing/selftests install
  $ grep -c "^powerpc" tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_install/kselftest-list.txt

Make supports passing the 'jobserver' (parallel make support) to child
invocations of make when either
	1. The target command uses $(MAKE) directly
	2. The command starts with '+'

This context is not passed through expansions that result in $(MAKE), so
the macros used in several places fail to pass on the jobserver context.
Warnings are also raised by the child mentioning this.

Prepend macros lines that invoke $(MAKE) with '+' to allow passing the
jobserver context to these children.

<title>selftests/powerpc: Add basic EEH selftest</title>

<content type='text'>
Use the new eeh_dev_check and eeh_dev_break interfaces to test EEH
recovery.  Historically this has been done manually using platform specific
EEH error injection facilities (e.g. via RTAS). However, documentation on
how to use these facilities is haphazard at best and non-existent at worst
so it's hard to develop a cross-platform test.

The new debugfs interfaces allow the kernel to handle the platform specific
details so we can write a more generic set of sets. This patch adds the
most basic of recovery tests where:

a) Errors are injected and recovered from sequentially,
b) Errors are not injected into PCI-PCI bridges, such as PCIe switches.
c) Errors are only injected into device function zero.
d) No errors are injected into Virtual Functions.

a), b) and c) are largely due to limitations of Linux's EEH support.  EEH
recovery is serialised in the EEH recovery thread which forces a).
Similarly, multi-function PCI devices are almost always grouped into the
same PE so injecting an error on one function exercises the same code
paths. c) is because we currently more or less ignore PCI bridges during
recovery and assume that the recovered topology will be the same as the
original.

d) is due to the limits of the eeh_dev_break interface. With the current
implementation we can't inject an error into a specific VF without
potentially causing additional errors on other VFs. Due to the serialised
recovery process we might end up timing out waiting for another function to
recover before the function of interest is recovered. The platform specific
error injection facilities are finer-grained and allow this capability, but
doing that requires working out how to use those facilities first.

Basicly, it's better than nothing and it's a base to build on.

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.
