Now the transaction reclaims happens very earlier in the trap handler, and it is impossible to know precisely, at that early time, what should be set as the failure cause for some specific cases, as, if the task will be rescheduled, thus, the transaction abort case should be updated from TM_CAUSE_MISC to TM_CAUSE_RESCHED, for example. This patch creates a function that will update TEXASR special purpose register in the task thread and set the failure code which will be moved to the live register afterward.
