[PATCH 3/3] PowerPC: abort transaction in syscalls


Linux kernel powerpc documentation states issuing a syscall inside a
transaction is not recommended and may lead to undefined behavior. It
also states syscalls does not abort transactoin neither they run in
transactional state.

To avoid side-effects being visible outside transactions, GLIBC with lock
elision enable issues a transaction abort instruction just before all
syscalls if hardware supports hardware transactions.

--

	* sysdeps/powerpc/nptl/tls.h (tcbhead_t): Add tm_capable field.
	(TLS_INIT_TP): Add tm_capable initialization.
	(TLS_DEFINE_INIT_TP): Likewise.
	(THREAD_GET_TM_CAPABLE): New file: get tm_capable field value from
	TCB.
	(THREAD_SET_TM_CAPABLE): New file: set tm_capable field value in TCB.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/nptl/tcb-offsets.sym (TM_CAPABLE): Add field offset
	calculation.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/sysdep.h (DO_CALL): Abort hardware
	transactoion is lock elision is built and TCB tm_capable is set.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/sysdep.h (DO_CALL): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc32/sysdep.h
	(INTERNAL_SYSCALL_NCS): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc64/sysdep.h
	(INTERNAL_SYSCALL_NCS): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/sysdep.h (ABORT_TRANSACTION): New define.
