Linux from 3.9 through 4.2 does not abort HTM transaction on syscalls,
instead it suspend and resume it when leaving the kernel. The
side-effects of the syscall will always remain visible, even if the
transaction is aborted. This is an issue when transaction is used along
with futex syscall, on pthread_cond_wait for instance, where the futex
call might succeed but the transaction is rolled back leading the
pthread_cond object in an inconsistent state.
Glibc used to prevent it by always aborting a transaction before issuing
a syscall. Linux 4.2 also decided to abort active transaction in
syscalls which makes the glibc workaround superfluous. Worse, glibc
transaction abortion leads to a performance issue on recent kernels
where the HTM state is saved/restore lazily (v4.9). By aborting a
transaction on every syscalls, regardless whether a transaction has being
initiated before, GLIBS makes the kernel always save/restore HTM state
(it can not even lazily disable it after a certain number of syscall
iterations).
Because of this shortcoming, Transactional Lock Elision is just enabled
when it has been explicitly set (either by tunables of by a configure
switch) and if kernel aborts HTM transactions on syscalls
(PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC). It is reported that using simple benchmark [1],
the context-switch is about 5% faster by not issuing a tabort in every
syscall in newer kernels.

Some SPE opcodes clashes with some recent PowerISA opcodes and
until recently gas did not complain about it. However binutils
recently changed it and now VLE configured gas does not support to
assembler some instruction that might class with VLE (HTM for
instance). It also does not help that glibc build hardware lock
elision support as default (regardless of assembler support).
Although runtime will not actually enables TLE on SPE hardware
(since kernel will not advertise it), I see little advantage on
adding HTM support on SPE built glibc. SPE uses an incompatible
ABI which does not allow share the same build with default
powerpc and HTM code slows down SPE without any benefict.
This patch fixes it by only building HTM when SPE configuration
is not used.
Checked with a powerpc-linux-gnuspe build. I also did some sniff
tests on a e500 hardware without any issue.

This patch adds several new tunables to control the behavior of
elision on supported platforms[1]. Since elision now depends
on tunables, we should always *compile* with elision enabled,
and leave the code disabled, but available for runtime
selection. This gives us *much* better compile-time testing of
the existing code to avoid bit-rot[2].
Tested on ppc, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x and x86_64.

Work around a GCC behavior with hardware transactional memory built-ins.
GCC doesn't treat the PowerPC transactional built-ins as compiler
barriers, moving instructions past the transaction boundaries and
altering their atomicity.
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.
elf/tst-auxv.c includes misc/sys/auxv.h, which ends up not actually
being included due to the guard overlap, and getauxval becomes an
implicit declaration and implicit pointer conversion which means, at
best, the test isn't actually testing what it thinks it is and, at
worst, it'll crash and burn on platforms where implict pointer
conversion is a Very Bad Thing.
