// This file implements the two TLS variants [1] used by ELF-based systems.
//
// The variant I has the following layout in memory:
// -------------------------------------------------------
// |   DTV   |     Zig     |   DTV   | Alignment |  TLS  |
// | storage | thread data | pointer |           | block |
// ------------------------^------------------------------
//                         `-- The thread pointer register points here
//
// In this case we allocate additional space for our control structure that's
// placed _before_ the DTV pointer together with the DTV.
//
// NOTE: Some systems such as power64 or mips use this variant with a twist: the
// alignment is not present and the tp and DTV addresses are offset by a
// constant.
//
// On the other hand the variant II has the following layout in memory:
// ---------------------------------------
// |  TLS  | TCB |     Zig     |   DTV   |
// | block |     | thread data | storage |
// --------^------------------------------
//         `-- The thread pointer register points here
//
// The structure of the TCB is not defined by the ABI so we reserve enough space
// for a single pointer as some architectures such as x86 and x86_64 need a
// pointer to the TCB block itself at the address pointed by the tp.
//
// In this case the control structure and DTV are placed one after another right
// after the TLS block data.
//
// At the moment the DTV is very simple since we only support static TLS, all we
// need is a two word vector to hold the number of entries (1) and the address
// of the first TLS block.
