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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
