[LLVMdev] TLS with MCJIT (an experimental patch)

[Kaylor, Andrew]

Hi Keno,

I believe that PIC/GOT support is working for x86-64 ELF targets.  I'm not sure what effect that had on the proposed TLS implementation.

I'd like to take a crack at this. Was there any more progress or work I should be aware off?

Thanks,
Keno

No, I added a bare minimal to get EH working...

I see. Yes, on that model codegen would produce local exec TLS model
and we would only need R_X86_64_TPOFF32 (and making sure the code was
close to the tls block).

Agreed.

Thanks,
Rafael
