Steps for adding TLS support for a new platform:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(1) Declare TLS variant in machine/types.h by defining either
|
||
|
|
__HAVE_TLS_VARIANT_I or __HAVE_TLS_VARIANT_II.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(2) _lwp_makecontext has to set the reserved register or kernel transfer
|
||
|
|
variable in uc_mcontext to the provided value of 'private'. See
|
||
|
|
src/lib/libc/arch/$PLATFORM/gen/_lwp.c.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is not possible on the VAX as there is no free space in ucontext_t.
|
||
|
|
This requires either a special version of _lwp_create or versioning
|
||
|
|
everything using ucontext_t. Debug support depends on getting the data from
|
||
|
|
ucontext_t, so the second option is possibly required.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(3) _lwp_setprivate(2) has to update the same register as
|
||
|
|
_lwp_makecontext uses for the private area pointer. Normally
|
||
|
|
cpu_lwp_setprivate is provided by MD to reflect the kernel view and
|
||
|
|
enabled by defining __HAVE_CPU_LWP_SETPRIVATE in machine/types.h.
|
||
|
|
cpu_setmcontext is responsible for keeping the MI l_private field
|
||
|
|
synchronised by calling lwp_setprivate as needed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cpu_switchto has to update the mapping.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
_lwp_setprivate is used for the initial thread, all other threads
|
||
|
|
created by libpthread use _lwp_makecontext for this purpose.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(4) Provide __tls_get_addr and possible other MD functions for dynamic
|
||
|
|
TLS offset computation. If such alternative entry points exist (currently
|
||
|
|
only i386), also add a weak reference to 0 in src/lib/libc/tls/tls.c.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The generic implementation can be found in tls.c and is used with
|
||
|
|
__HAVE_COMMON___TLS_GET_ADDR. It depends on ___lwp_getprivate_fast
|
||
|
|
(see below).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(5) Implement the necessary relocation records in mdreloc.c. There are
|
||
|
|
typically three relocation types found in dynamic binaries:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(a) R_TYPE(TLS_DTPOFF): Offset inside the module. The common TLS code
|
||
|
|
ensures that the DTV vector points to offset 0 inside the module TLS block.
|
||
|
|
This is normally def->st_value + rela->r_addend.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(b) R_TYPE(TLS_DTPMOD): Module index.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(c) R_TYPE(TLS_TPOFF): Static TLS offset. The code has to check whether
|
||
|
|
the static TLS offset for this module has been allocated
|
||
|
|
(defobj->tls_done) and otherwise call _rtld_tls_offset_allocate(). This
|
||
|
|
may fail if no static space is available and the object has been pulled
|
||
|
|
in via dlopen(3).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For TLS Variant I, this is typically:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
def->st_value + rela->r_addend + defobj->tlsoffset + sizeof(struct tls_tcb)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
e.g. the relocation doesn't include the fixed TCB.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For TLS Variant II, this is typically:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
def->st_value - defobj->tlsoffset + rela->r_addend
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
e.g. starting offset is counting down from the TCB.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(6) Implement _lwp_getprivate_fast() in machine/mcontext.h and set
|
||
|
|
__HAVE___LWP_GETPRIVATE_FAST in machine/types.h.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(7) Test using src/tests/lib/libc/tls. Make sure with "objdump -R" that
|
||
|
|
t_tls_dynamic has two TPOFF relocations and h_tls_dlopen.so.1 and
|
||
|
|
libh_tls_dynamic.so.1 have both two DTPMOD and DTPOFF relocations.
