For PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK sample type, different branch_sample_type,
ie branch filters are supported. All the branch filters are not
supported in powerpc. Example, power10 platform supports any, ind_call
and cond branch filters. Whereas, it is different in power9. Testcase
checks event open for invalid and valid branch sample types. The branch
types for testcase are picked from "perf_branch_sample_type" in
perf_event.h

With sampling, --intr-regs option is used for capturing
interrupt regs. When --intr-regs option is used, PMU code
uses is_sier_available() function which uses PMU flags in
the code. In environment where platform specific PMU is
not registered, PMU flags is not defined. A fix was added
in kernel to address crash while accessing is_sier_available()
function when pmu is not set. commit f75e7d73bd ("powerpc/perf:
Fix crash with is_sier_available when pmu is not set").
Add perf sampling test to exercise this code and make sure
enabling intr_regs shouldn't crash in any platform. Testcase
uses software event cycles since software event will work even
in cases without PMU.

While enabling branch stack for an event, BHRB (Branch History
Rolling Buffer) filter is set using bhrb_filter_map() callback.
This callback is not defined for cases like generic_compat_pmu
or in case where there is no PMU registered. A fix was added
in kernel to address a crash issue observed while enabling branch
stack for environments which doesn't have this callback.
commit b460b51241 ("powerpc/perf: Fix crashes with
generic_compat_pmu & BHRB").
Add perf sampling test to exercise this code path and make
sure enabling branch stack shouldn't crash in any platform.

The platform check for selftest support "check_pvr_for_sampling_tests"
is specific to sampling tests which includes PVR check, presence of
PMU and extended regs support. Extended regs support is needed for
sampling tests which tests whether PMU registers are programmed
correctly. There could be other sampling tests which may not need
extended regs, example, bhrb filter tests which only needs validity
check via event open.
Hence refactor the platform check to have a common function
"platform_check_for_tests" that checks only for PVR check
and presence of PMU. The existing function
"check_pvr_for_sampling_tests" will invoke the common function
and also will include checks for extended regs specific for
sampling. The common function can also be used by tests other
than sampling like event code tests.
Add macro to find array size ("ARRAY_SIZE") to sampling
tests "misc.h" file. This can be used in next tests to
find event array size. Also update "include/reg.h" to
add macros to find minor and major version from PVR which
will be used in testcases.

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.
