Re: rtld to support __thread tls
Oh, forgot to attach file rtld_tls.h which is needed
by libthread_xu, please copy it into src/libexec/rtld-elf

Well, lets not let this slip through the cracks. We want __thread

support and we have the GDT infrastructure to do it now. Maybe you
should push your current patch set to David Xu with a quick
summary and you and he can discuss architectural issues over the
weekend.

Hi All,
Because Joerg is working on rtld, I just picked up an relative easier
task --- hack all necessary code to support __thread for static libary,
I have spent two hours to work out all patches, please see attached
file, they works on my machine (a SMP box).
I don't know what was committed into rtld by Joerg yet, since I have to
fix some broken code due to FreeBSD's swappable kernel stack issue,
not have enough time. =(
Note, this only works for static library! the patches do not affect
shared objects, however applying the patch should be safe.
you should use gcc3 to compile sample code tls_test.c. the gcc 2.95 does
not support __thread.
I use csh, so:
# setenv CCVER gcc34
# cc -o tls_test tls_test.c -static -lthread_xu
