Ian Lance Taylor 30e29ee9b6 cmd/ld: emit TLS relocations during external linking ... This CL was written by rsc. I just tweaked 8l. This CL adds TLS relocation to the ELF .o file we write during external linking, so that the host linker (gcc) can decide the final location of m and g. Similar relocations are not necessary on OS X because we use an alternate program start-time mechanism to acquire thread-local storage. Similar relocations are not necessary on ARM or Plan 9 or Windows because external linking mode is not yet supported on those systems. On almost all ELF systems, the references we use are like %fs:-0x4 or %gs:-0x4, which we write in 6a/8a as -0x4(FS) or -0x4(GS). On Linux/ELF, however, Xen's lack of support for this mode forced us long ago to use a two-instruction sequence: first we load %gs:0x0 into a register r, and then we use -0x4(r). (The ELF program loader arranges that %gs:0x0 contains a regular pointer to that same memory location.) In order to relocate those -0x4(r) references, the linker must know where they are. This CL adds the equivalent notation -0x4(r)(GS*1) for this purpose: it assembles to the same encoding as -0x4(r) but the (GS*1) indicates to the linker that this is one of those thread-local references that needs relocation. Thanks to Elias Naur for reminding me about this missing piece and also for writing the test. R=r CC=golang-dev https://golang.org/cl/7891047		2013-03-27 13:27:35 -07:00
