Re: %gs:0 thread pseudoregister in oskit-mach

[Farid Hajji]

Roland, Jeroen,

I know this is irrelevant for oskit-mach proper, but it may be
interesting to know if you're introducing any dependency in,
say, glibc/pthreads:

  In the L4 V4 spec, Appendix A (x86 Interface), register %gs
  is used to point to the UTCB of the current thread (read-only).

Please see http://l4ka.org/documentation/files/l4-x2.pdf

Regards,

-Farid.
