+/* An architecture-specific version of this file has to defined a
+ number of symbols:
+
+ TLS_TCB_AT_TP or TLS_DTV_AT_TP
+
+ The presence of one of these symbols signals which variant of
+ the TLS ABI is used. There are in the moment two variants
+ available:
+
+ * the thread pointer points to a thread control block
+
+ * the thread pointer points to the dynamic thread vector
+
+
+ TLS_TCB_SIZE
+
+ This is the size of the thread control block structure. How
+ this is actually defined depends on the ABI. The thread control
+ block could be internal descriptor of the thread library or
+ just a data structure which allows finding the DTV.
+
+ TLS_INIT_TCB_SIZE
+
+ Similarly, but this value is only used at startup and in the
+ dynamic linker itself. There are no threads in use at that time.
+
+
+ TLS_TCB_ALIGN
+
+ Alignment requirements for the TCB structure.
+
+ TLS_INIT_TCB_ALIGN
+
+ Similarly, but for the structure used at startup time.
+
+
+ INSTALL_DTV(tcb, init_dtv)
+
+ This macro must install the given initial DTV into the thread control
+ block TCB. The normal runtime functionality must then be able to
+ use the value.
+
+
+ TLS_INIT_TP(tcb, firstcall)
+
+ This macro must initialize the thread pointer to enable normal TLS
+ operation. The first parameter is a pointer to the thread control
+ block. The second parameter specifies whether this is the first
+ call for the TCB. ld.so calls this macro more than once.
+
+
+ THREAD_DTV()
+
+ This macro returns the address of the DTV of the current thread.
+ This normally is done using the the thread register which points
+ to the dtv or the TCB (from which the DTV can found).
