selftests/powerpc: Add a test of wild bctr

2018-10-20T02:26:47Z

This tests that a bctr (Branch to counter and link), ie. a function call, to a wildly out-of-bounds address is handled correctly. Some old kernel versions didn't handle it correctly, see eg: "powerpc/slb: Force a full SLB flush when we insert for a bad EA" https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2017-April/157397.html Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

selftests/powerpc: Move shared headers into new include dir

2016-11-17T06:11:47Z

There are some functions, especially register related, which can be shared across multiple selftests/powerpc test directories. This patch creates a new include directory to store those shared files, so that the file layout becomes more neat.
