// Generate RTM (Restricted Transactional Memory) locking code for all inflated
// locks when "UseRTMLocking" option is on with normal locking mechanism as fall back
// handler.
//
// On abort/lock busy the lock will be retried a fixed number of times under RTM
// as specified by "RTMRetryCount" option. The locks which abort too often
// can be auto tuned or manually tuned.
//
// Auto-tuning can be done on an option like UseRTMDeopt and it will need abort
// ratio calculation for each lock. The abort ratio will be calculated after
// "RTMAbortThreshold" number of aborts is reached. The formulas are:
//
//     Aborted transactions = abort_count * 100
//     All transactions = total_count *  RTMTotalCountIncrRate
//
//     Aborted transactions >= All transactions * RTMAbortRatio
//
// If "UseRTMDeopt" is on and the aborts ratio reaches "RTMAbortRatio"
// the method containing the lock will be deoptimized and recompiled with
// all locks as normal locks. If the abort ratio continues to remain low after
// "RTMLockingThreshold" locks are attempted, then the method will be deoptimized
// and recompiled with all locks as RTM locks without abort ratio calculation code.
// The abort ratio calculation can be delayed by specifying flag
// -XX:RTMLockingCalculationDelay in millisecond.
//
// For manual tuning the abort statistics for each lock needs to be provided
// to the user on some JVM option like "PrintPreciseRTMLockingStatistics".
// Based on the abort statistics users can create a .hotspot_compiler file
// or use -XX:CompileCommand=option,class::method,NoRTMLockEliding
// to specify for which methods to disable RTM locking.
//
// When UseRTMForStackLocks option is enabled along with UseRTMLocking option,
// the RTM locking code is generated for stack locks too.
// The retries, auto-tuning support and rtm locking statistics are all
// supported for stack locks just like inflated locks.

  //
  //   EAX register bit position   Meaning
  //     0     Set if abort caused by XABORT instruction.
  //     1     If set, the transaction may succeed on a retry. This bit is always clear if bit 0 is set.
  //     2     Set if another logical processor conflicted with a memory address that was part of the transaction that aborted.
  //     3     Set if an internal buffer overflowed.
  //     4     Set if a debug breakpoint was hit.
  //     5     Set if an abort occurred during execution of a nested transaction.
