/* We have four different ways to obtain TLS, each with its own limitations:
*
* 1) Piggyback on the threading system (like we do on Windows): here that would
* be pthreads, which uses a segment since at least RH9, and uses gdt-based
* segments for NPTL. The advantage is we won't run out of ldt or gdt entries
* (except when the app itself would). The disadvantage is we're stealing
* application slots and we rely on user mode interfaces.
*
* 2) Steal an ldt entry via SYS_modify_ldt. This suffers from the 8K ldt entry
* limit and requires that we update manually on a new thread. For 64-bit
* we're limited here to a 32-bit base. (Strangely, the kernel's
* include/asm-x86_64/ldt.h implies that the base is ignored: but it doesn't
* seem to be.)
*
* 3) Steal a gdt entry via SYS_set_thread_area. There is a 3rd unused entry
* (after pthreads and wine) we could use. The kernel swaps for us, and with
* CLONE_TLS the kernel will set up the entry for a new thread for us. Xref
* PR 192231 and PR 285898. This system call is disabled on 64-bit 2.6
* kernels (though the man page for arch_prctl implies it isn't for 2.5
* kernels?!?)
*
* 4) Use SYS_arch_prctl. This is only implemented on 64-bit kernels, and can
* only be used to set the gdt entries that fs and gs select for. Faster to
* use <4GB base (obtain with mmap MAP_32BIT) since can use gdt; else have to
* use wrmsr. The man pages say "ARCH_SET_GS is disabled in some kernels".
