7c27a26e1e selftests/powerpc: Kill child processes on SIGINT
There are some powerpc selftests, as tm/tm-unavailable, that run for a long
period (>120 seconds), and if it is interrupted, as pressing CRTL-C
(SIGINT), the foreground process (harness) dies but the child process and
threads continue to execute (with PPID = 1 now) in background.

In this case, you'd think the whole test exited, but there are remaining
threads and processes being executed in background. Sometimes these
zombies processes are doing annoying things, as consuming the whole CPU or
dumping things to STDOUT.

This patch fixes this problem by attaching an empty signal handler to
SIGINT in the harness process. This handler will interrupt (EINTR) the
parent process waitpid() call, letting the code to follow through the
normal flow, which will kill all the processes in the child process group.

This patch also fixes a typo.

a6d8a21596 selftest/powerpc: Fix false failures for skipped tests
Tests under alignment subdirectory are skipped when executed on previous
generation hardware, but harness still marks them as failed.

  test: test_copy_unaligned
  tags: git_version:unknown
  [SKIP] Test skipped on line 26
  skip: test_copy_unaligned
  selftests: copy_unaligned [FAIL]

The MAGIC_SKIP_RETURN_VALUE value assigned to rc variable is retained till
the program exit which causes the test to be marked as failed.

This patch resets the value before returning to the main() routine.
With this patch the test o/p is as follows:

  test: test_copy_unaligned
  tags: git_version:unknown
  [SKIP] Test skipped on line 26
  skip: test_copy_unaligned
  selftests: copy_unaligned [PASS]

fcb45ec074 selftests/powerpc: Move get_auxv_entry() into utils.c
This doesn't really belong in harness.c, it's a helper function. So move
it into utils.c.
