-# To Do
-
- * Discuss d2431f633e6139a62e1575ec18830f7e81160cf0 with Samuel.
-
- * Validate our implementation against
- <https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/TLSandSignals>.

- <tschwinge> In glibc multiarch support (strcasecmp for i686 SSE3, etc.)
- there is access to memory via gs: -- this will need to be changed for
- us, right?
- <youpi> depends on the access
- <tschwinge> * `optimized strcasecmp and strncasecmp for x86-32`
- (multiarch),

- <tschwinge> 5583a0862cf94f71cbcde91c4043a20af65facca. `gs`
- access.
- <youpi> + movl __libc_tsd_LOCALE@GOTNTPOFF(%ebx), %eax
- <youpi> that's handled by the linker fine
- <youpi> it's only the things held in the tcb_t structure which can pose
- problem
- <tschwinge> tcbhead_t?
- <tschwinge> I'm looking at this.
- <tschwinge> So, at gs:0, there is the TCB.
- <tschwinge> And we have the same layout as NPTL/Linux, just that we
- don't have as much data there as they have.
- <tschwinge> We're missing multiple_threads, sysinfo, sttack_guard,
- pointer_guard, gscope_flag, private_futex, __private_tm[5].
- <tschwinge> So, if one of these is referenced (be it my name or by
- numeric offset), this is invalid for us.
- <tschwinge> Anything else should work equivalently.
- <youpi> yes
- <youpi> usually the only numeric offset being used is 0
- <youpi> so it would simply not build
- <tschwinge> And the other offsers are generated via tcb-offsets.sym.
- <tschwinge> glibc's elf/stackguard-macros.h is wrong for us (but not
- used anywhere apart from elf/tst-stackguard1.c, I think).
-
-After commit a9538892adfbb9f092e0bb14ff3a1703973968af, it's
-`sysdeps/i386/stackguard-macros.h`; problem remains.
-
- <tschwinge> __thread __locale_t __libc_tsd_LOCALE = &_nl_global_locale;
- -- this means that a __libc_tsd_LOCALE values will be in the TLS
- segment, and this is what is being accessed from the assembler code
- with %gs:__libc_tsd_LOCALE@NTPOFF, and the linker will resolve this.
- <youpi> yes
- <youpi> see in the nm output, the libc_tsd symbols
- <youpi> these provide the offsets
- <tschwinge> youpi: Thank you, I'm now understanding this part of TLS
- much better.
- <youpi> have you had a look at the tls.pdf from Uli ?
- <youpi> all the gory details are there :)
-
-Commit c61b4d41c9647a54a329aa021341c0eb032b793e, [[!sourceware_PR 15754]], adds
-`sysdeps/i386/stackguard-macros.h:POINTER_CHK_GUARD`, which is not correct for
-us (at the moment), but it also shouldn't cause any harm, as this file is only
-used in `elf/tst-ptrguard1.c` and `elf/tst-stackguard1.c`, which now will fail
-to build for us, as we don't have a `pointer_guard` member in
-`sysdeps/mach/hurd/tls.h:tcbhead_t`.
-
-We don't define `THREAD_SET_POINTER_GUARD`.
