+ /* Linux from 3.9 through 4.2 do not abort HTM transaction on syscalls,
+ instead it suspends the transaction and resumes it when returning to
+ usercode. The side-effects of the syscall will always remain visible,
+ even if the transaction is aborted. This is an issue when a transaction
+ is used along with futex syscall, on pthread_cond_wait for instance,
+ where futex might succeed but the transaction is rolled back leading
+ the condition variable 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 superflours. Worse, glibc
+ transaction abortions leads to a performance issues on recent kernels.
+
+ So Lock Elision is just enabled when it has been explict set (either
+ by tunables of by a configure switch) and if kernel aborts HTM
+ transactions on syscalls (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC) */
