Jordan Niethe 29e3ea8cbd selftests/powerpc: Test for spurious kernel memory faults on radix
Previously when mapping kernel memory on radix, no ptesync was
included which would periodically lead to unhandled spurious faults.
Mapping kernel memory is used when code patching with Strict RWX
enabled. As suggested by Chris Riedl, turning ftrace on and off does a
large amount of code patching so is a convenient way to see this kind
of fault.

Add a selftest to try and trigger this kind of a spurious fault. It
tests for 30 seconds which is usually long enough for the issue to
show up.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
