This is a new test case that creates a signal and starts a suspended
transaction inside the signal handler.

It returns from the signal handler with the CPU at suspended state, but
without setting user context MSR Transaction State (TS) field.

The kernel signal handler code should be able to handle this discrepancy
instead of crashing.

This code could be compiled and used to test 32 and 64-bits signal
handlers.

<title>selftests/powerpc: Fix Makefiles for headers_install change</title>

Commit b2d35fa5fc80 ("selftests: add headers_install to lib.mk")
introduced a requirement that Makefiles more than one level below the
selftests directory need to define top_srcdir, but it didn't update
any of the powerpc Makefiles.

This broke building all the powerpc selftests with eg:

  make[1]: Entering directory '/src/linux/tools/testing/selftests/powerpc'
  BUILD_TARGET=/src/linux/tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/alignment; mkdir -p $BUILD_TARGET; make OUTPUT=$BUILD_TARGET -k -C alignment all
  make[2]: Entering directory '/src/linux/tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/alignment'
  ../../lib.mk:20: ../../../../scripts/subarch.include: No such file or directory
  make[2]: *** No rule to make target '../../../../scripts/subarch.include'.
  make[2]: Failed to remake makefile '../../../../scripts/subarch.include'.
  Makefile:38: recipe for target 'alignment' failed

Fix it by setting top_srcdir in the affected Makefiles.

There are cases where the test is not expecting to have the transaction
aborted, but, the test process might have been rescheduled, either in the
OS level or by KVM (if it is running on a KVM guest machine). The process
reschedule will cause a treclaim/recheckpoint which will cause the
transaction to doom, aborting the transaction as soon as the process is
rescheduled back to the CPU. This might cause the test to fail, but this is
not a failure in essence.

If that is the case, TEXASR[FC] is indicated with either
TM_CAUSE_RESCHEDULE or TM_CAUSE_KVM_RESCHEDULE for KVM interruptions.

In this scenario, ignore these two failures and avoid the whole test to
return failure.

Test tm-tmspr might exit before all threads stop executing, because it just
waits for the very last thread to join before proceeding/exiting.

This patch makes sure that all threads that were created will join before
proceeding/exiting.

This patch also guarantees that the amount of threads being created is equal
to thread_num.

we can fix that, skip them unless we're on ppc64le.

Merge our fixes branch from the 4.16 cycle.

There were a number of important fixes merged, in particular some Power9
workarounds that we want in next for testing purposes. There's also been
some conflicting changes in the CPU features code which are best merged
and tested before going upstream.

<title>selftests/powerpc: Skip tm-unavailable if TM is not enabled</title>

Some processor revisions do not support transactional memory, and
additionally kernel support can be disabled. In either case the
tm-unavailable test should be skipped, otherwise it will fail with
a SIGILL.

That commit also sets this selftest to be called through the test
harness as it's done for other TM selftests.

Finally, it avoids using "ping" as a thread name since it's
ambiguous and can be confusing when shown, for instance,
in a kernel backtrace log.
