it seems GCC uses this ColdFire TLS ABI:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-68k/2007/11/msg00071.html

Here we have a function

void *__m68k_read_tp(void)

which must return the thread pointer in register a0.

I have to implement this function.  Is there a way to instruct GCC to return
the value in register a0 instead of d0 or do I have to use assembler to
implement this function?

I believe that on m68k GNU/Linux a function that returns a pointer
will normally return the value in a0.

The function

void *__m68k_read_tp(void)
{
  const Thread_Control *executing = _Thread_Get_executing();

  return (char *) executing->Start.tls_area +
    _TLS_Get_thread_control_block_area_size((uintptr_t) _TLS_Alignment)
    + 0x7000;
}

translates to

__m68k_read_tp:
        move.l #_TLS_Alignment,%d0
        moveq #8,%d1
        move.l _Per_CPU_Information+18,%a0
        cmp.l %d0,%d1
        jls .L2
        moveq #8,%d0
.L2:
        add.l #28672,%d0
        add.l 194(%a0),%d0
        rts

I use now:

void __m68k_read_tp(void)
{
  const Thread_Control *executing = _Thread_Get_executing();
  void *tp = (char *) executing->Start.tls_area +
    _TLS_Get_thread_control_block_area_size((uintptr_t) _TLS_Alignment)
    + 0x7000;

  __asm__ volatile (
    "move.l %0, %%a0"
    :
    : "d" (tp)
  );
}
