New TLS allactors for glibc
Florian Weimer
This presentation covers a design of a new thread-local storage (TLS) allocator for the GNU C Library (glibc). The goal of this project is to unify the allocation algorithm for initial-exec TLS, global-dynamic TLS, and POSIX thread-specific data (as created by pthread_key_create). It unifies ideas that have been circulated within the glibc community for many years.
