other archs use asm for the thread pointer load, so making that asm volatile is sufficient to inform the compiler that it has a "side effect" (crashing or giving the wrong result if the thread pointer was not yet initialized) that prevents reordering. however, powerpc and or1k have dedicated general purpose registers for the thread pointer and did not need to use any asm to access it; instead, "local register variables with a specified register" were used. however, there is no specification for ordering constraints on this type of usage, and presumably use of the thread pointer could be reordered across its initialization. to impose an ordering, I have added empty volatile asm blocks that produce the "local register variable with a specified register" as an output constraint.
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
