Bug Description

== Justification ==
The tm-unavailable test in powerpc from ubuntu_kernel_selftests will fail on Bionic PowerPC:
  $ sudo ./tm-unavailable
  Checking if FP/VEC registers are sane after a FP unavailable exception...
  Illegal instruction

This is because the Hardware Transactional Memory (HTM) is not supported on the revision of the processor in our PowerPC boxes.

== Fix ==
b395e55b (selftests/powerpc: Skip tm-unavailable if TM is not enabled)
With a prerequisite to make it a clean cherry-pick:
5783ee6e (selftests/powerpc: Check for pthread errors in tm-unavailable)

An extra check for this test:
SKIP_IF(!have_htm())

Will be added to ensure we have HTM support before start testing.

This patchset has already landed in Cosmic and newer, and can be cherry-picked for Bionic.

For Xenial, we don't have this test in our tree.

== Test ==
Patch verified on a Bionic P9 system, the test will be marked as passed (skipped) with these two patches applied.

== Regression potential ==
None.
This patch is just for the kernel testing tool.

== Original Bug Report ==
$ sudo ./tm-unavailable
Checking if FP/VEC registers are sane after a FP unavailable exception...
Illegal instruction

For Power8 it's OK:

For P9 on Cosmic, this test will be skipped:

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-done-bionic'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-failed-bionic'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
