[PATCH 02/35] testing/selftests/powerpc: Add support to fetch "platform" and "base platform" from auxv to detect platform.

[Kajol Jain <kjain@linux.ibm.com>]

From: Athira Rajeev <atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

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.
