[LTP] [PATCH v2] Migrating the libhugetlbfs/testcases/slbpacaflush.c test

We are verifying ppc64 kernels prior to 2.6.15-rc5 exhibit a bug in the
hugepage SLB flushing path. When opening new hugetlb areas, updating masks
in the thread_struct and copying to the PACA only occurs on the CPU where
segments are opened, leading to potential stale copies in other CPUs.
This bug can be triggered by multiple threads sharing the mm or a single thread
migrating between CPUs, particularly evident in a close-to-idle system,
as other processes may flush the SLB and prevent the bug from manifesting.

Original test originates from https://github.com/libhugetlbfs/libhugetlbfs/blob/master/tests/slbpacaflush.c

V2:
 -Addressed below requested changes
 1. Removed the blank lines
 2. Ran make-check and fixed the issues
 3. As suggested used TERRNO
 4. Defined CPU_SETSIZE/8 at the top
 5. use get_nprocs_conf() directly as suggested

+ * [Description]
+ *
+ * ppc64 kernels (prior to 2.6.15-rc5) have a bug in the hugepage SLB
+ * flushing path.  After opening new hugetlb areas, we update the
+ * masks in the thread_struct, copy to the PACA, then do slbies on
+ * each CPU.  The trouble is we only copy to the PACA on the CPU where
+ * we're opening the segments, which can leave a stale copy in the
+ * PACAs on other CPUs.
+ *
+ * This can be triggered either with multiple threads sharing the mm,
+ * or with a single thread which is migrated from one CPU, to another
+ * (where the mapping occurs), then back again (where we touch the
+ * stale SLB).  We use the second method in this test, since it's
+ * easier to force (using sched_setaffinity).  However it relies on a
+ * close-to-idle system, if any process other than a kernel thread
+ * runs on the first CPU between runs of the test process, the SLB
+ * will be flushed and we won't trigger the bug, hence the
+ * PASS_INCONCLUSIVE().  Obviously, this test won't work on a 1-cpu
+ * system (should get CONFIG() on the sched_setaffinity)
