[PATCH v2] selftests/powerpc: Skip vmx/vsx/tar/etc tests on older CPUs

2020-08-02 Thread Michael Ellerman
Some of our tests use VSX or newer VMX instructions, so need to be skipped on older CPUs to avoid SIGILL'ing. Similarly TAR was added in v2.07, and the PMU event used in the stcx fail test only works on Power8 or later. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman --- tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/math/Ma
