this will allow the compiler to cache and reuse the result, meaning we
no longer have to take care not to load it more than once for the sake
of archs where the load may be expensive.
depends on commit 1c84c99913 for
correctness, since otherwise the compiler could hoist loads during
stage 3 of dynamic linking before the initial thread-pointer setup.
In TLS variant I the TLS is above TP (or above a fixed offset from TP)
but on some targets there is a reserved gap above TP before TLS starts.
This matters for the local-exec tls access model when the offsets of
TLS variables from the TP are hard coded by the linker into the
executable, so the libc must compute these offsets the same way as the
linker. The tls offset of the main module has to be
alignup(GAP_ABOVE_TP, main_tls_align).
If there is no TLS in the main module then the gap can be ignored
since musl does not use it and the tls access models of shared
libraries are not affected.
The previous setup only worked if (tls_align & -GAP_ABOVE_TP) == 0
(i.e. TLS did not require large alignment) because the gap was
treated as a fixed offset from TP. Now the TP points at the end
of the pthread struct (which is aligned) and there is a gap above
it (which may also need alignment).
The fix required changing TP_ADJ and __pthread_self on affected
targets (aarch64, arm and sh) and in the tlsdesc asm the offset to
access the dtv changed too.
mips32r6 and mips64r6 are actually new isas at both the asm source and
opcode levels (pre-r6 code cannot run on r6) and thus need to be
treated as a new subarch. the following changes are made, some of
which yield code generation improvements for non-r6 targets too:
- add subarch logic in configure script and reloc.h files for dynamic
linker name.
- suppress use of .set mips2 asm directives (used to allow mips2
atomic instructions on baseline mips1 builds; the kernel has to
emulate them on mips1) except when actually needed. they cause wrong
instruction encodings on r6, and pessimize inlining on at least some
compilers.
- only hard-code sync instruction encoding on mips1.
- use "ZC" constraint instead of "m" constraint for llsc memory
operands on r6, where the ll/sc instructions no longer accept full
16-bit offsets.
- only hard-code rdhwr instruction encoding with .word on targets
(pre-r2) where it may need trap-and-emulate by the kernel.
otherwise, just use the instruction mnemonic, and allow an arbitrary
destination register to be used.
