38 * Hint: How to define/declare TLS variables of compound types
39 * such as array or function pointers?
40 *
41 * Answer: Use typedef to assign a type_name to the compound type.
42 * Example: Define a TLS variable which is an int array with len=4:
43 *
44 * typedef int my_int_array_type[4];
45 * DEFINE_URCU_TLS(my_int_array_type, var_name);
46 *
47 * Another exmaple:
48 * typedef void (*call_rcu_flavor)(struct rcu_head *, XXXX);
49 * DECLARE_URCU_TLS(call_rcu_flavor, p_call_rcu);
50 *
51 * NOTE: URCU_TLS() is NOT async-signal-safe, you can't use it
52 * inside any function which can be called from signal handler.
53 *
54 * But if pthread_getspecific() is async-signal-safe in your
55 * platform, you can make URCU_TLS() async-signal-safe via:
56 * ensuring the first call to URCU_TLS() of a given TLS variable of
57 * all threads is called earliest from a non-signal handler function.
58 *
59 * Example: In any thread, the first call of URCU_TLS(rcu_reader)
60 * is called from rcu_register_thread(), so we can ensure all later
61 * URCU_TLS(rcu_reader) in any thread is async-signal-safe.
