Draft TLS/NPTL ABI for m68k and ColdFire, version 0.2

2007-11-30 Thread Joseph S. Myers
CodeSourcery has been investigating implementing TLS (Thread-Local Storage) and NPTL (Native POSIX Thread Library) for ColdFire processors. The proposed TLS ABI for ColdFire and m68k, including the required kernel interfaces, is below; any comments? We do not at present have a timescale for the i
