19/* An architecture-specific version of this file has to defined a
20   number of symbols:
21
22     TCB_ALIGNMENT
23
24     Alignment of THREAD_SELF (struct pthread *) and the thread
25     pointer.
26
27     TLS_TCB_AT_TP  or  TLS_DTV_AT_TP
28
29     The presence of one of these symbols signals which variant of
30     the TLS ABI is used.  There are in the moment two variants
31     available:
32
33     * the thread pointer points to a thread control block
34
35     * the thread pointer points to the dynamic thread vector
36
37
38     TLS_TCB_SIZE
39
40     This is the size of the thread control block structure.  How
41     this is actually defined depends on the ABI.  The thread control
42     block could be internal descriptor of the thread library or
43     just a data structure which allows finding the DTV.
44
45     TLS_INIT_TCB_SIZE
46
47     Similarly, but this value is only used at startup and in the
48     dynamic linker itself.  There are no threads in use at that time.
49
50
51     INSTALL_DTV(tcb, init_dtv)
52
53     This macro must install the given initial DTV into the thread control
54     block TCB.  The normal runtime functionality must then be able to
55     use the value.
56
57
58     TLS_INIT_TP(tcb)
59
60     This macro must initialize the thread pointer to enable normal TLS
61     operation.  The parameter is a pointer to the thread control block.
62     ld.so calls this macro once.
63
64
65     THREAD_DTV()
66
67     This macro returns the address of the DTV of the current thread.
68     This normally is done using the thread register which points
69     to the dtv or the TCB (from which the DTV can found).
