A descriptor representing the facility is returned, or -1 if 58an error occured. The facility may be cleared by specifying a NULL pointer 59and an infosize of 0. 60The 61.Fn sys_get_tls_area 62system call retrieves the requested TLS facility. A descriptor representing 63the facility is returned, or -1 if an error occured. If you simply want the 64descriptor you may specify a NULL pointer and an infosize of 0. 65.Pp 66The returned descriptor and the TLS mechanism is machine-dependant. On IA32 67three global segment descriptors are supported (0, 1, and 2) and the %gs 68load value is returned. 69.Pp 70The 71.Fa tls_info 72structure passed to 73.Fn sys_set_tls_area 74should first be zerod (to remain compatible with future extensions) 75and then initialized. 76.Pp 77.Bd -literal 78struct tls_info { 79 void *base; /* base address of TLS area */ 80 int size; /* size of TLS area in bytes */ 81}; 82.Ed 83.Pp 84The actual implementation of the area is machine-dependant. If the kernel 85is unable to accomodate the supplied size it may create a larger area. 86If the kernel is unable to accomodate the supplied base address an error 87will be returned. 88.Sh RETURN VALUES 89A return value of 0 is returned on success, -1 on error. 90.Sh EXAMPLE 91.Bd -literal -compact 92 93/* 94 * Pseudo example showing how the TLS system calls work on IA32. 95 */ 96#include <stdio.h> 97#include <unistd.h> 98#include <stdlib.h> 99#include <errno.h> 100#include <sys/tls.h> 101 102int X; 103 104static int getdata(int offset); 105 106int 107main(int ac, char **av) 108{ 109 int i; 110 int gs; 111 struct tls_info info; 112 113 info.base = &X; 114 info.size = sizeof(X); 115 if ((gs = sys_set_tls_area(0, &info, sizeof(info))) < 0) { 116 perror("setarea"); 117 exit(1); 118 } 119 printf("gs = %04x\en", gs); 120 __asm __volatile("movl %0,%%eax; movl %%eax,%%gs" : "=m" (gs) : : "ax"); 121 122 if (sys_get_tls_area(0, &info, sizeof(info)) < 0) { 123 perror("getarea"); 124 exit(1); 125 } 126 printf("%p/%d\en", info.base, info.size); 127 128 X = 1; 129 printf("should be 1: %d\en", getdata(0)); 130 X = 2; 131 printf("should be 2: %d\en", getdata(0)); 132 133 printf("this should fault:\en"); 134 fflush(stdout); 135 getdata(4); 136 137 return(0); 138} 139 140static int 141getdata(int offset) 142{ 143 int rv; 144 __asm __volatile("movl %%gs:(%0),%%eax; movl %%eax,%1" : "+r" (offset) : "m" 145 (rv) : "ax"); 146 return (rv); 147} 148 149.Ed 150.Sh ERRORS 151.Bl -tag -width Er 152.It Bq Er ERANGE 153The specified facility index, 154.Fa which , 155is not supported. 156.It Bq Er EINVAL 157An invalid parameter has been specified. 158.It Bq Er ENOENT 159(sys_get_tls_area) The specified facility has not been initialized with 160.Fn sys_set_tls_area . 161.El 162.Sh SEE ALSO 163.Xr umtx 2 164.Sh HISTORY 165The 166.Fn sys_set_tls_area , 167and 168.Fn sys_get_tls_area 169function calls first appeared in 170.Dx 1.1 . 171
