Ed Schouten ab83575070 Make CloudABI's way of doing TLS more friendly to userspace emulators. ... We're currently seeing how hard it would be to run CloudABI binaries on operating systems cannot be modified easily (Windows, Mac OS X). The idea is that we want to just run them without any sandboxing. Now that CloudABI executables are PIE, this is already a bit easier, but TLS is still problematic: - CloudABI executables want to write to the %fs, which typically requires extra system calls by the emulator every time it needs to switch between CloudABI's and its own TLS. - If CloudABI executables overwrite the %fs base unconditionally, it also becomes harder for the emulator to store a backup of the old value of %fs. To solve this, let's no longer overwrite %fs, but just %fs:0. As CloudABI's C library does not use a TCB, this space can now be used by an emulator to keep track of its internal state. The executable can now safely overwrite %fs:0, as long as it makes sure that the TCB is copied over to the new TLS area. Ensure that there is an initial TLS area set up when the process starts, only containing a bogus TCB. We don't really care about its contents on FreeBSD.
