TSTART
Start transaction
This instruction starts a new transaction. If the transaction started
successfully, the destination register is set to zero. If the transaction
failed or was canceled, then all state modifications that were performed
transactionally are discarded and the destination register is written with a
nonzero value that encodes the cause of the failure.
