powerpc: Fix TLE build for SPE (BZ #22926)
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. [BZ #22926] * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/sysdep.h (ABORT_TRANSACTION_IMPL): Define empty for __SPE__. * sysdeps/powerpc/sysdep.h (ABORT_TRANSACTION): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/elision-lock.c (__lll_lock_elision): Do not build hardware transactional code for __SPE__. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/elision-trylock.c (__lll_trylock_elision): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/elision-unlock.c (__lll_unlock_elision): Likewise.
