Rich Felker 0f66fcec25 stabilize dynamic linker's layout of static TLS
previously, the layout of the static TLS block was perturbed by the
size of the dtv; dtv size increasing from 0 to 1 perturbed both TLS
arch types, and the TLS-above-TP type's layout was perturbed by the
specific number of dtv slots (libraries with TLS). this behavior made
it virtually impossible to setup a tentative thread pointer address
before loading libraries and keep it unchanged as long as the
libraries' TLS size/alignment requirements fit.

the new code fixes the location of the dtv and pthread structure at
opposite ends of the static TLS block so that they will not move
unless size or alignment changes.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
