[-- Attachment #1: Type: TEXT/PLAIN, Size: 5643 bytes --]


the attached patch (against BK-curr + Luca Barbieri's two TLS patches)  
does two things:

 - it implements a second TLS entry for Wine's purposes.

Alexandre suggested that Wine would need two TLS entries, one for glibc
(in %gs), and one for the Win32 API (in %fs). The constant selector is
also a speedup for switches to/from 16-bit mode.

i left the possibility open to add even more TLS entries, but i find it
very unlikely to happen. So the code does not iterate over an array of TLS
descriptors, for performance reasons. This can be changed anytime without
affecting the userspace interface.

 - the patch adds the get_thread_area() system-call.

the get_thread_area() call is needed by debuggers, to be able to read the
TLS settings of a threaded application, without having to assume anything
about what was loaded. The get_thread_area() call does not expose any
segmentation details - it returns the TLS info in the same format as
passed to the set_thread_area() call.

i've also attached tls.c which shows off both extensions. These extensions
are source and binary-compatible with any potential TLS code.

	Ingo
