We are using 'dscr_insn' as a label in inline asm to identify if a
SIGILL was generated by the mtspr instruction at that point. However,
with inline assembly, the compiler is still free to duplicate the asm
statement for optimization purposes, which results in the label being
defined twice with the error:
/tmp/ccerQCql.s:874: Error: symbol `dscr_insn' is already defined
With different compiler versions, we may also see:
/tmp/ccJzLDlN.o:(.toc+0x0): undefined reference to `dscr_insn'
Remove the use of the label in the inline assembly. Instead, just look
for the offending instruction in the signal handler.

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.

[mpe: Add SPDX tags, clang format, skip if the debugfs is missing, use
__u64 and SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES to avoid printf() build errors.]

Some of our selftests have only been tested on ppc64le and crash or
behave weirdly on ppc64/ppc32. So add a helper for checking the UTS
machine.

Refactor the AUXV routines so they are more composable. In a future test
we want to look for many AUXV entries and we don't want to have to read
/proc/self/auxv each time.

We want to use this in another test, so make it available at the top of
the powerpc selftests tree.
