selftests/powerpc: Tests for kernel accessing user memory

Browse source

Introduce tests to cover simple scenarios where user is watching
memory which can be accessed by kernel as well. We also support
_MODE_EXACT with _SETHWDEBUG interface. Move those testcases outside
of _BP_RANGE condition. This will help to test _MODE_EXACT scenarios
when CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT is not set, eg:

  $ ./ptrace-hwbreak
  ...
  PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG, Kernel Access Userspace, len: 8: Ok
  PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG, MODE_EXACT, WO, len: 1: Ok
  PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG, MODE_EXACT, RO, len: 1: Ok
  PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG, MODE_EXACT, RW, len: 1: Ok
  PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG, MODE_EXACT, Kernel Access Userspace, len: 1: Ok
  success: ptrace-hwbreak
