19/* An architecture-specific version of this file has to defined a
20 number of symbols:
21
22 TCB_ALIGNMENT
23
24 Alignment of THREAD_SELF (struct pthread *) and the thread
25 pointer.
26
27 TLS_TCB_AT_TP or TLS_DTV_AT_TP
28
29 The presence of one of these symbols signals which variant of
30 the TLS ABI is used. There are in the moment two variants
31 available:
32
33 * the thread pointer points to a thread control block
34
35 * the thread pointer points to the dynamic thread vector
36
37
38 TLS_TCB_SIZE
39
40 This is the size of the thread control block structure. How
41 this is actually defined depends on the ABI. The thread control
42 block could be internal descriptor of the thread library or
43 just a data structure which allows finding the DTV.
44
45 TLS_INIT_TCB_SIZE
46
47 Similarly, but this value is only used at startup and in the
48 dynamic linker itself. There are no threads in use at that time.
49
50
51 INSTALL_DTV(tcb, init_dtv)
52
53 This macro must install the given initial DTV into the thread control
54 block TCB. The normal runtime functionality must then be able to
55 use the value.
56
57
58 TLS_INIT_TP(tcb)
59
60 This macro must initialize the thread pointer to enable normal TLS
61 operation. The parameter is a pointer to the thread control block.
62 ld.so calls this macro once.
63
64
65 THREAD_DTV()
66
67 This macro returns the address of the DTV of the current thread.
68 This normally is done using the thread register which points
69 to the dtv or the TCB (from which the DTV can found).
