TLS register for NPTL

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,

It seems the rdhwr emulation is used/proposed for accessing the thread
word in NPTL.
I've been reading some of the posts from 2005 about this choice of this
and what I have missed is anyone talking about using the "k0" register
for TLS. It seems logical that the kernel could always restore k0 on
returning to user-land and having k1 only for the last part of returning
to user is sufficient. Any reason why this was not looked at?

regards,
Carl van Schaik
