There are in the moment two variants available: * the thread pointer points to a thread control block * the thread pointer points to the dynamic thread vector TLS_TCB_SIZE This is the size of the thread control block structure. How this is actually defined depends on the ABI. The thread control block could be internal descriptor of the thread library or just a data structure which allows finding the DTV. TLS_INIT_TCB_SIZE Similarly, but this value is only used at startup and in the dynamic linker itself. There are no threads in use at that time. TLS_TCB_ALIGN Alignment requirements for the TCB structure. TLS_INIT_TCB_ALIGN Similarly, but for the structure used at startup time. INSTALL_DTV(tcb, init_dtv) This macro must install the given initial DTV into the thread control block TCB. The normal runtime functionality must then be able to use the value. TLS_INIT_TP(tcb) This macro must initialize the thread pointer to enable normal TLS operation. The parameter is a pointer to the thread control block. ld.so calls this macro once. THREAD_DTV() This macro returns the address of the DTV of the current thread. This normally is done using the thread register which points to the dtv or the TCB (from which the DTV can found). */
