56cf276381 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 enabled will issue a transaction abort instruction just
before all syscalls if hardware supports hardware transactions.

9bc6103d04 Include <kernel-features.h> explicitly where required.
This patch makes files using __ASSUME_* macros include
<kernel-features.h> explicitly, rather than relying on some other
header (such as tls.h, lowlevellock.h or pthreadP.h) to include it
implicitly.  (I omitted cases where I've already posted or am testing
the patch that stops the file from needing __ASSUME_* at all.)  This
accords with the general principle of making source files include the
headers for anything they use, and also helps make it safe to remove
<kernel-features.h> includes from any file that doesn't use
__ASSUME_* (some of those may be stray includes left behind after
increasing the minimum kernel version, others may never have been
needed or may have become obsolete after some other change).

Tested x86_64 that the disassembly of installed shared libraries is
unchanged by this patch.

	* nptl/pthread_cond_wait.c: Include <kernel-features.h>.
	* nptl/pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock.c: Likewise.
	* nptl/pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock.c: Likewise.
	* nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/lowlevelrobustlock.c: Likewise.
	* nscd/nscd.c: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/i386/nptl/tcb-offsets.sym: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/nptl/tcb-offsets.sym: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/sh/nptl/tcb-offsets.sym: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/x86_64/nptl/tcb-offsets.sym: Likewise.
