38  * Allocate a TLS block for a new thread. The memory allocated will
39  * include 'tcbsize' bytes aligned to a 'tcbalign' boundary (in bytes)
40  * for the thread library's private purposes. The location of the TCB
41  * block is returned by this function. For architectures using
42  * 'Variant I' TLS, the thread local storage follows the TCB, and for
43  * 'Variant II', the thread local storage precedes it. For
44  * architectures using the 'Variant II' model (e.g. i386, amd64,
45  * sparc64), the TCB must begin with two pointer fields which are used
46  * by rtld for its TLS implementation. For the 'Variant I' model, the
47  * TCB must begin with a single pointer field for rtld's
48  * implementation.
49  *
50  * If the value of 'oldtls' is non-NULL, the new TLS block will be
51  * initialised using the values contained in 'oldtls' and 'oldtls'
52  * will be freed. This is typically used when initialising a thread
53  * library to migrate from using the initial bootstrap TLS block
54  * created by rtld to one which contains suitable thread library
55  * private data.
56  *
57  * The value returned from this function is suitable for installing
58  * directly into the thread pointer register.
