      selftests/powerpc: Add tm-signal-pagefault test · 915b7f6f
      Gustavo Luiz Duarte authored
      This test triggers a TM Bad Thing by raising a signal in transactional state
      and forcing a pagefault to happen in kernelspace when the kernel signal
      handling code first touches the user signal stack.
      
      This is inspired by the test tm-signal-context-force-tm but uses userfaultfd to
      make the test deterministic. While this test always triggers the bug in one
      run, I had to execute tm-signal-context-force-tm several times (the test runs
      5000 times each execution) to trigger the same bug.
      
      tm-signal-context-force-tm is kept instead of replaced because, while this test
      is more reliable and triggers the same bug, tm-signal-context-force-tm has a
      better coverage, in the sense that by running the test several times it might
      trigger the pagefault and/or be preempted at different places.
      
      v3: skip test if userfaultfd is unavailable.
