//=============================================================================================
// Kernel Signal Tools
//=============================================================================================
// In a user-level threading system, there are handful of thread-local variables where this problem occurs on the ARM.
//
// For each kernel thread running user-level threads, there is a flag variable to indicate if interrupts are
// enabled/disabled for that kernel thread. Therefore, this variable is made thread local.
//
// For example, this code fragment sets the state of the "interrupt" variable in thread-local memory.
//
// _Thread_local volatile int interrupts;
// int main() {
//     interrupts = 0; // disable interrupts }
//
// which generates the following code on the ARM
//
// (gdb) disassemble main
// Dump of assembler code for function main:
//    0x0000000000000610 <+0>:  mrs     x1, tpidr_el0
//    0x0000000000000614 <+4>:  mov     w0, #0x0                        // #0
//    0x0000000000000618 <+8>:  add     x1, x1, #0x0, lsl #12
//    0x000000000000061c <+12>: add     x1, x1, #0x10
//    0x0000000000000620 <+16>: str     wzr, [x1]
//    0x0000000000000624 <+20>: ret
//
// The mrs moves a pointer from coprocessor register tpidr_el0 into register x1.  Register w0 is set to 0. The two adds
// increase the TLS pointer with the displacement (offset) 0x10, which is the location in the TSL of variable
// "interrupts".  Finally, 0 is stored into "interrupts" through the pointer in register x1 that points into the
// TSL. Now once x1 has the pointer to the location of the TSL for kernel thread N, it can be be preempted at a
// user-level and the user thread is put on the user-level ready-queue. When the preempted thread gets to the front of
// the user-level ready-queue it is run on kernel thread M. It now stores 0 into "interrupts" back on kernel thread N,
// turning off interrupt on the wrong kernel thread.
//
// On the x86, the following code is generated for the same code fragment.
//
// (gdb) disassemble main
// Dump of assembler code for function main:
//    0x0000000000400420 <+0>:  movl   $0x0,%fs:0xfffffffffffffffc
//    0x000000000040042c <+12>: xor    %eax,%eax
//    0x000000000040042e <+14>: retq
//
// and there is base-displacement addressing used to atomically reset variable "interrupts" off of the TSL pointer in
// register "fs".
//
// Hence, the ARM has base-displacement address for the general purpose registers, BUT not to the coprocessor
// registers. As a result, generating the address for the write into variable "interrupts" is no longer atomic.
//
// Note this problem does NOT occur when just using multiple kernel threads because the preemption ALWAYS restarts the
// thread on the same kernel thread.
//
// The obvious question is why does ARM use a coprocessor register to store the TSL pointer given that coprocessor
// registers are second-class registers with respect to the instruction set. One possible answer is that they did not
// want to dedicate one of the general registers to hold the TLS pointer and there was a free coprocessor register
// available.
