Some of the ptrace tests check the contents of floating pointer
registers. Currently these use float, which is always 4 bytes, but the
ptrace API supports saving/restoring 8 bytes per register, so switch to
using doubles to exercise the code more fully.

Transactional Memory was removed from the architecture in ISA v3.1. For
threads running in P8/P9 compatibility mode on P10 a synthetic TM
implementation is provided. In this implementation, tbegin. always sets
cr0 eq meaning the abort handler is always called. This is not an issue
as users of TM are expected to have a fallback non transactional way to
make forward progress in the abort handler. The TEXASR indicates if a
transaction failure is due to a synthetic implementation.
Some of the TM self tests need a non-degenerate TM implementation for
their testing to be meaningful so check for a synthetic implementation
and skip the test if so.

ISA v3.1 removes TM but includes a synthetic implementation for
backwards compatibility. With this implementation, the tests
ptrace-tm-spd-gpr and ptrace-tm-gpr should never be able to make any
forward progress and eventually should be killed by the timeout.
Instead on a P10 running in P9 mode, ptrace_tm_gpr fails like so:
test: ptrace_tm_gpr
tags: git_version:unknown
Starting the child
...
...
GPR[27]: 1 Expected: 2
GPR[28]: 1 Expected: 2
GPR[29]: 1 Expected: 2
GPR[30]: 1 Expected: 2
GPR[31]: 1 Expected: 2
[FAIL] Test FAILED on line 98
failure: ptrace_tm_gpr
selftests: ptrace-tm-gpr [FAIL]
The problem is in the inline assembly of the child. r0 is loaded with a
value in the child's transaction abort handler but this register is not
included in the clobbers list. This means it is possible that this
statement:
cptr[1] = 0;
which is meant to signal the parent to wait may actually use the value
placed into r0 by the inline assembly incorrectly signal the parent to
continue.
By inspection the same problem is present in ptrace-tm-spd-gpr.
Adding r0 to the clobbbers list makes the test fail correctly via a
timeout on a P10 running in P8/P9 compatibility mode.

Some ptrace selftests are passing input operands using a constraint that
can allocate any register for the operand, and using these registers on
load/store operations.
If the register allocated by the compiler happens to be zero (r0), it might
cause an invalid memory address access, since load and store operations
consider the content of 0x0 address if the base register is r0, instead of
the content of the r0 register. For example:
r1 := 0xdeadbeef
r0 := 0xdeadbeef
ld r2, 0(1) /* will load into r2 the content of r1 address */
ld r2, 0(0) /* will load into r2 the content of 0x0 */
In order to avoid this possible problem, the inline assembly constraint
should be aware that these registers will be used as a base register, thus,
r0 should not be allocated.
Other than that, this patch removes inline assembly operands that are not
used by the tests.
