The basic TM vs syscall test code hard codes an sc instruction for the
system call, which fails to cover scv even when the userspace libc has
support for it.
Duplicate the tests with hard coded scv variants so both are tested
when possible.

Transactional Memory was removed from the architecture in ISA v3.1. For
threads running in P8/P9 compatibility mode on P10 a synthetic TM
implementation is provided. In this implementation, tbegin. always sets
cr0 eq meaning the abort handler is always called. This is not an issue
as users of TM are expected to have a fallback non transactional way to
make forward progress in the abort handler. The TEXASR indicates if a
transaction failure is due to a synthetic implementation.
Some of the TM self tests need a non-degenerate TM implementation for
their testing to be meaningful so check for a synthetic implementation
and skip the test if so.

Perform an exec() class syscall with a suspended transaction.
This is a test for the bug we fixed in 8e96a87c5431 ("powerpc/tm: Always
reclaim in start_thread() for exec() class syscalls").

Move have_htm_nosc() into a new tm.h, and add a new helper, have_htm()
which we'll use in the next patch.

We already do this twice and want to add another so add a helper.

When building against older kernel headers, currently the tm-syscall
test fails to build because PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC is not defined.
Tweak the test so that if PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC is not defined it still
builds, but prints a warning at run time and marks the test as skipped.

This patch changes the syscall handler to doom (tabort) active
transactions when a syscall is made and return very early without
performing the syscall and keeping side effects to a minimum (no CPU
accounting or system call tracing is performed). Also included is a
new HWCAP2 bit, PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC, to indicate this
behaviour to userspace.
Currently, the system call instruction automatically suspends an
active transaction which causes side effects to persist when an active
transaction fails.
This does change the kernel's behaviour, but in a way that was
documented as unsupported. It doesn't reduce functionality as
syscalls will still be performed after tsuspend; it just requires that
the transaction be explicitly suspended. It also provides a
consistent interface and makes the behaviour of user code
substantially the same across powerpc and platforms that do not
support suspended transactions (e.g. x86 and s390).
Performance measurements using
http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/null_syscall.c indicate the cost of
a normal (non-aborted) system call increases by about 0.25%.

Check that a syscall made during an active transaction will fail with
the correct failure code and that one made during a suspended
transaction will succeed.
