    OpenMP: docs - improve -fopenmp-ompt(-detailed) description + update impl. status
    
    invoke.texi: Improve the wording for -fopenmp-ompt(-detailed) that was
    added in r17-2288-gab0dd7d5e16fcd.
    
    libgomp.texi: Mark OpenMP 5.1's 'device_type(...)' for variables on
    'declare target' as partially implemented as parsing support was added for
    C/C++ in r10-2342-g77eb117f588686 and for Fortran in r11-2858-gd58e7173ef964d.
    
    (device_type: It actually seems to work fine, even though there is almost no
    code to handle 'host' differently; still host/nohost handling should be
    improved for vars and funcs; hence, marked as only partial not as fully
    supported.)
    
    gcc/ChangeLog:
    
            * doc/invoke.texi (-fopenmp-ompt, -fopenmp-ompt-detailed): Improve
            wording.
    
    libgomp/ChangeLog:
    
            * libgomp.texi (OpenMP 5.1 Impl Status): Mark device_type on vars
            in declare target as 'P'.

-Emit additional calls into libgomp, enabling OMPT callbacks around some OpenMP
-worksharing constructs (namely statically scheduled @code{for} and
-@code{distribute}, @code{single}, @code{masked} and @code{master}), so that an
-OMPT tool can observe their start and end.  Requires @option{-fopenmp}.
+For some OpenMP constructs, generate calls into the OpenMP runtime before and
+after the region instead of only on region entry.  For those constructs, the
+additional calls are only needed to provide better tracing results in tools
+using the OMPT interface and have a small overhead.  The extra calls are
+generated for the @code{single}, @code{masked}, and @code{master} constructs
+and with static scheduling for the @code{distribute} and worksharing loop
+constructs.  Requires @option{-fopenmp}.

-Like @option{-fopenmp-ompt}, and additionally emit calls into libgomp, enabling
-OMPT dispatch callbacks that get called at the beginning of each workshare chunk
-for statically scheduled @code{for} and @code{distribute}.  Requires
-@option{-fopenmp}.
+Add additional calls into the OpenMP runtime for more detailed tracing via OMPT,
+which might have a measurable effect on the performance.  The option enables
+additional constructs to issue events for the @code{dispatch} callback, which
+is invoked when begining to execute a section or a collapsed iteration in a
+@code{taskloop} or worksharing construct.  The additional calls are generated
+with static scheduling for the @code{distribute} and worksharing loop
+constructs.  Implies @option{-fopenmp-ompt} and requires @option{-fopenmp}.
