Add HTM fastpath and use Intel RTM for it on x86.
* beginend.cc (htm_fastpath): New. (gtm_thread::begin_transaction, _ITM_commitTransaction, _ITM_commitTransactionEH): Add HTM fastpath handling. * config/linux/rwlock.h (gtm_rwlock.is_write_locked): New. * config/posix/rwlock.h (gtm_rwlock.is_write_locked): New. * config/x86/target.h (htm_available, htm_init, htm_begin_success, htm_begin, htm_commit, htm_abort, htm_abort_should_retry): New. * configure.tgt: Add -mrtm to XCFLAGS. * method-serial.cc (htm_mg, o_htm_mg, htm_dispatch, dispatch_htm): New. (gtm_thread::serialirr_mode): Add HTM fastpath handling. * libitm_i.h (htm_fastpath, dispatch_htm): Declare. * retry.cc (parse_default_method): Add HTM method parsing. (gtm_thread::number_of_threads_changed): Use HTM by default if available. git-svn-id: svn+ssh://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk@193369 138bc75d-0d04-0410-961f-82ee72b054a4

+ // The fastpath is enabled only by dispatch_htm's method group, which uses
+ // serial-mode methods as fallback. Serial-mode transactions cannot execute
+ // concurrently with HW transactions because the latter monitor the serial
+ // lock's writer flag and thus abort if another thread is or becomes a
+ // serial transaction. Therefore, if the fastpath is enabled, then a
+ // transaction is not executing as a HW transaction iff the serial lock is
+ // write-locked. This allows us to use htm_fastpath and the serial lock's
+ // writer flag to reliable determine whether the current thread runs a HW
+ // transaction, and thus we do not need to maintain this information in
+ // per-thread state.
+ // If an uninstrumented code path is not available, we can still run
+ // instrumented code from a HW transaction because the HTM fastpath kicks
+ // in early in both begin and commit, and the transaction is not canceled.
+ // HW transactions might get requests to switch to serial-irrevocable mode,
+ // but these can be ignored because the HTM provides all necessary
+ // correctness guarantees. Transactions cannot detect whether they are
+ // indeed in serial mode, and HW transactions should never need serial mode
