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.

Several of the TM tests fail spuriously if CPU 0 is offline, because
they blindly try to affinitise to CPU 0.
Fix them by picking any online CPU and using that instead.

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.

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.

Add a self test to check if FP/VEC/VSX registers are sane (restored
correctly) after a FP/VEC/VSX unavailable exception is caught during a
transaction.
This test checks all possibilities in a thread regarding the combination
of MSR.[FP|VEC] states in a thread and for each scenario raises a
FP/VEC/VSX unavailable exception in transactional state, verifying if
vs0 and vs32 registers, which are representatives of FP/VEC/VSX reg
sets, are not corrupted.
