+
+  Multiple threads may be calling the same PLT sequence and with
+  LD_AUDIT enabled they will be calling into _dl_profile_fixup to
+  update the reloc_result with the result of the lazy resolution.
+  The reloc_result guard variable is reloc_init, and we use
+  acquire/release loads and store to it to ensure that the results of
+  the structure are consistent with the loaded value of the guard.
+  This does not fix all of the data races that occur when two or more
+  threads read reloc_result->reloc_init with a value of zero and read
+  and write to that reloc_result concurrently.  The expectation is
+  generally that while this is a data race it works because the
+  threads write the same values.  Until the data races are fixed
+  there is a potential for problems to arise from these data races.
+  The reloc result updates should happen in parallel but there should
+  be an atomic RMW which does the final update to the real result
+  entry (see bug 23790).
+
+  The following code uses reloc_result->init set to 0 to indicate if it is
+  the first time this object is being relocated, otherwise 1 which
+  indicates the object has already been relocated.
+
+  Reading/Writing from/to reloc_result->reloc_init must not happen
+  before previous writes to reloc_result complete as they could
+  end-up with an incomplete struct.  */
