      selftests/powerpc: Add test to check if VSRs are corrupted · 5f337e3e
      Rashmica Gupta authored
      When a transaction is aborted, VSR values should rollback to the
      checkpointed values before the transaction began. VSRs used elsewhere in
      the kernel during a transaction, or while the transaction is suspended
      should not affect the checkpointed values.
      
      Prior to the bug fix in commit d31626f7 ("powerpc: Don't corrupt
      transactional state when using FP/VMX in kernel") when VMX was requested
      by the kernel the .vr_state (which held the checkpointed state of VSRs
      before the transaction) was overwritten with the current state from
      outside the transation. Thus if the transaction did not complete, the
      VSR values would be "rolled back" to potentially incorrect values.
