Hi, I would like to apply backports of the TX support patches to 4.8 branch. We released 4.8 with EC12 support already but the support is somewhat incomplete without having TX. With these patches we will have full EC12 support in 4.8.
The patches apply without changes but I had to add some configure additions for auxval from Peter Bergners patch for Power. 22/04/13 [PATCH] S/390: Initial libitm support http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-04/msg01214.html 21/06/13 [PATCH] S/390: Hardware transactional memory support http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-06/msg01267.html 17/07/13 Re: [PATCH] S/390: Hardware transactional memory support http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-07/msg00654.html 24/07/13 S/390: libitm: Use .machine to enable the HTM instructions in the assembler http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-07/msg01074.html Any veto? Torvald, could you please consider adding backports of the following patches to the 4.8 branch? 19/06/13 [patch] libitm: Fix handling of reentrancy in the HTM fastpath http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-06/msg01132.html 20/06/13 Re: [patch] libitm: Fix handling of reentrancy in the HTM fastpath http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-06/msg01188.html Thanks!
