Description Marek Polacek 2013-08-13 17:10:40 UTC
Currently, we build libitm.so with the system RHEL binutils; these don't support HTM.  Yet we want the HTM bits in the libitm.

objdump -dr on libitm.so.1 should show xbegin, xend etc insns.

htm-in-asm

A patch to do that.

Comment 4 Marek Polacek 2013-08-14 11:35:18 UTC
QA: Note that for testing you'll have to use objdump from at least F17; F16 is too old.

Comment 5 Marek Polacek 2013-08-14 11:45:02 UTC
Fixed.
