Hello > Now, if a program contains instructions to explicitly assign a > variable as TLS, this variable is stored out of the stack? If you create a simple program which use TLS (declare a variable with "__thread" modifier) and then dump the content of /proc/"pid of the program"/maps, on RH 9 I see the TLS variable is located on bss section of /lib/ld-2.3.2.so. Print the variable address to confirm on your own system... regards Mulyadi -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
