Bug Description

== Justification ==
The cp_abort test in context_switch was designed for Power9, however
this test is broken and it fails everytime as Paste on Power9 only
works on accelerators and no longer on real memory.

== Fix ==
00c946a0 (selftests/powerpc: Remove redundant cp_abort test)

This will remove the cp_abort test.
Patch has already been applied in C and onward.

== Test ==
Patch verified on a Bionic P9 system, the test will no longer exist.

== Regression Potential ==
None.
This patchset is just for the kernel testing tool.

== Original Bug Report ==
This issue can only be reproduced on Power9 with Bionic kernel.

$ sudo ./cp_abort
test: cp_abort
tags: git_version:c186097-dirty
!! killing cp_abort
!! child died by signal 15
failure: cp_abort

It will get skipped on P8

Also to note that this test was completely removed in Cosmic with commit 00c946a06e

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!
