TLS(Thread Local Storage)

线程局部存储。

在Linux操作系统中,TLS保存成GDT中描述的一个段。

从上面的call_tree可以看到,在fork系统调用创建一个新的进程时,会为新的任务设置TLS。

参考:http://blog.csdn.net/dog250/article/details/7704898

fill_ldt设置GDT中第6个段描述符的基址和段限以及DPL等信息,这些信息都是从sys_set_thread_area系统调用的u_info参数中得来的。本质上,最终GDT的第6个段中描述的信息其实就是一块内存,这块内存用于存储TLS节,这块内存其实也是使用brk,mmap之类调用在主线程的堆空间申请的,只是后来调用sys_set_thread_area将其设置成了本线程的私有空间罢了,主线程或者其它线程如果愿意,也是可以通过其它手段访问到这块空间的。

因为TLS是一个对应于C/C++ Runtime库的概念,所以要深入了解TLS,需要结合glibc来理解。
