ISA v3.1 removes TM but includes a synthetic implementation for backwards compatibility. With this implementation, the tests ptrace-tm-spd-gpr and ptrace-tm-gpr should never be able to make any forward progress and eventually should be killed by the timeout. Instead on a P10 running in P9 mode, ptrace_tm_gpr fails like so: test: ptrace_tm_gpr tags: git_version:unknown Starting the child ... ... GPR[27]: 1 Expected: 2 GPR[28]: 1 Expected: 2 GPR[29]: 1 Expected: 2 GPR[30]: 1 Expected: 2 GPR[31]: 1 Expected: 2 [FAIL] Test FAILED on line 98 failure: ptrace_tm_gpr selftests: ptrace-tm-gpr [FAIL] The problem is in the inline assembly of the child. r0 is loaded with a value in the child's transaction abort handler but this register is not included in the clobbers list. This means it is possible that this statement: cptr[1] = 0; which is meant to signal the parent to wait may actually use the value placed into r0 by the inline assembly incorrectly signal the parent to continue. By inspection the same problem is present in ptrace-tm-spd-gpr. Adding r0 to the clobbbers list makes the test fail correctly via a timeout on a P10 running in P8/P9 compatibility mode.

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.
