This isn't in the name of 'security.' TSX has been functionally broken in every architecture that implements it. From the article: > A memory ordering issue is what is reportedly leading Intel to now deprecate TSX on various processors. And from the Intel document linked in the article: > The default RTM force-abort behavior can be optionally disabled by setting MSR bit TSX_FORCE_ABORT.SDV_ENABLE_RTM=1. However, when RTM force abort is disabled in this way, RTM usage may be subject to memory-ordering correctness issues. Due to these issues, this unsupported mode should not be enabled for production use.
