Detailed Description

   Instead of instrumenting thread private memory, we save the
   addresses in a log which we later use to save/restore the addresses
   upon transaction start/restart.

   The log is keyed by address, where each element contains individual
   statements among different code paths that perform the store.

   This log is later used to generate either plain save/restore of the
   addresses upon transaction start/restart, or calls to the ITM_L*
   logging functions.

   So for something like:

       struct large { int x[1000]; };
       struct large lala = { 0 };
       __transaction {
         lala.x[i] = 123;
         ...
       }

   We can either save/restore:

       lala = { 0 };
       trxn = _ITM_startTransaction ();
       if (trxn & a_saveLiveVariables)
         tmp_lala1 = lala.x[i];
       else if (a & a_restoreLiveVariables)
         lala.x[i] = tmp_lala1;

   or use the logging functions:

       lala = { 0 };
       trxn = _ITM_startTransaction ();
       _ITM_LU4 (&lala.x[i]);

   Obviously, if we use _ITM_L* to log, we prefer to call _ITM_L* as
   far up the dominator tree to shadow all of the writes to a given
   location (thus reducing the total number of logging calls), but not
   so high as to be called on a path that does not perform a
   write.  
   One individual log entry.  We may have multiple statements for the
   same location if neither dominate each other (on different
   execution paths).  

Field Documentation

tree tm_log_entry::addr
basic_block tm_log_entry::entry_block
     Entry block for the transaction this address occurs in.  

Referenced by make_pass_diagnose_tm_blocks(), and tm_log_emit().

tree tm_log_entry::save_var
     Initially, while we are building the log, we place a nonzero
     value here to mean that this address *will* be saved with a
     save/restore sequence.  Later, when generating the save sequence
     we place the SSA temp generated here.

gimple_vec tm_log_entry::stmts
     Dominating statements the store occurs in.
