* Linux: Perform rseq registration at C startup and thread creationMathieu Desnoyers2020-07-061-0/+37
Register rseq TLS for each thread (including main), and unregister for each thread (excluding main). "rseq" stands for Restartable Sequences. See the rseq(2) man page proposed here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/19/647 Those are based on glibc master branch commit 3ee1e0ec5c. The rseq system call was merged into Linux 4.18. The TLS_STATIC_SURPLUS define is increased to leave additional room for dlopen'd initial-exec TLS, which keeps elf/tst-auditmany working. The increase (76 bytes) is larger than 32 bytes because it has not been increased in quite a while. The cost in terms of additional TLS storage is quite significant, but it will also obscure some initial-exec-related dlopen failures.
