The platform check for selftest support "check_pvr_for_sampling_tests"
is specific to sampling tests which includes PVR check, presence of
PMU and extended regs support. Extended regs support is needed for
sampling tests which tests whether PMU registers are programmed
correctly. There could be other sampling tests which may not need
extended regs, example, bhrb filter tests which only needs validity
check via event open.
Hence refactor the platform check to have a common function
"platform_check_for_tests" that checks only for PVR check
and presence of PMU. The existing function
"check_pvr_for_sampling_tests" will invoke the common function
and also will include checks for extended regs specific for
sampling. The common function can also be used by tests other
than sampling like event code tests.
Add macro to find array size ("ARRAY_SIZE") to sampling
tests "misc.h" file. This can be used in next tests to
find event array size. Also update "include/reg.h" to
add macros to find minor and major version from PVR which
will be used in testcases.

The testcase uses "instructions" event to generate the
samples and fetch Monitor Mode Control Register A (MMCRA)
when overflow. Branch History Rolling Buffer(bhrb) disable bit
is part of MMCRA which need to be verified by perf interface.
Testcase checks if the bhrb disable bit of MMCRA register is
programmed correctly via perf interface for ISA v3.1 platform
Also make get_mmcra_ifm return type as u64.

The /proc/self/auxv contains information about "platform" on any system.
Also "base platform" which is an indication about platform string
corresponding to the real PVR. When systems are booted in compat mode,
say, power10 booted in power9 mode, "platform" will point to power9
whereas base platform will point to power10. Incase, if the distro
doesn't support platform indicated by real PVR, base platform will have
a default value.
The mismatch of platform/base platform is an indication of system booted
in compat mode. In such cases, distro will have a Generic Compat
registered which supports basic features for performance monitoring.
Some of the selftest needs to be handled differently ( ex: generic
events, alternative events, bhrb filter map) in Generic Compat PMU.
Hence selftest framework needs utility functions to identify such cases.
One way is make sure of auxv information. Below condition can be used to
detect if Generic Compat PMU is registered. ie:
if ((AT_PLATFORM != AT_BASE_PLATFORM) && (AT_BASE_PLATFORM != PVR))
this indicates Generic Compat PMU.
Add utility function in "include/utils.h" to return:
AT_PLATFORM and AT_BASE_PLATFORM from auxv. Also update misc.c in
"sampling_tests" folder to add function to use above check to determine
presence of generic compat pmu.
In other architecture ( like x86 ), pmu_name is exposed via
"/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps". The same could be used in
powerpc in future. Since currently we don't have the "caps" support in
powerpc, patch uses auxv information to detect platform type and compat
mode. But as placeholder utility function is added considering
possiblity of getting "caps" information via sysfs. If that doesn't
exist, fallback to using auxv information.

In power10, threshold compare field is not part of the raw event code
and provided via event attribute config1. Hence add the mask and shift
bits based on event attribute config1, to extract the threshold compare
value for power10
Also add a new function called get_thresh_cmp_val to compute and return
the threshold compare field for a given platform, since incase of
power10, threshold compare value provided is decimal.

Add couple of basic utility functions to post process the mmap buffer.
It includes function to read the total number of samples present in the
mmap buffer and function to get the address of the first sample.
Add function "get_intr_regs" which will return pointer to interrupt
registers present in the sample, incase sample type
PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR is set.
Add functions "get_reg_value" which can be used to read any interrupt
register value from a given sample.

Each platform has raw event encoding format which specifies the bit
positions for different fields. The fields from event code gets
translated into performance monitoring mode control register (MMCRx)
settings. Patch add macros to extract individual fields from the event
code.
Add functions for sanity checks, since testcases currently are only
supported in power9 and power10.

Add support functions for enabling perf sampling test in a new folder
"sampling_tests" under "selftests/powerpc/pmu". This includes support
functions for allocating and processing the mmap buffer. These functions
are added/defined in "sampling_tests/misc.*" files.
Also updates the corresponding Makefiles in "selftests/powerpc" and
"sampling_tests" folder.
