+/* CONCURRENCY NOTES:
+
+ This documents concurrency for the non-POD TLS destructor registration,
+ calling and destruction. The functions __cxa_thread_atexit_impl,
+ _dl_close_worker and __call_tls_dtors are the three main routines that may
+ run concurrently and access shared data. The shared data in all possible
+ combinations of all three functions are the link map list, a link map for a
+ DSO and the link map member l_tls_dtor_count.
+
+ __cxa_thread_atexit_impl acquires the load_lock before accessing any shared
+ state and hence multiple of its instances can safely execute concurrently.
+
+ _dl_close_worker acquires the load_lock before accessing any shared state as
+ well and hence can concurrently execute multiple of its own instances as
+ well as those of __cxa_thread_atexit_impl safely. Not all accesses to
+ l_tls_dtor_count are protected by the load lock, so we need to synchronize
+ using atomics.
+
+ __call_tls_dtors accesses the l_tls_dtor_count without taking the lock; it
+ decrements the value by one. It does not need the big lock because it does
+ not access any other shared state except for the current DSO link map and
+ its member l_tls_dtor_count.
+
+ Correspondingly, _dl_close_worker loads l_tls_dtor_count and if it is zero,
+ unloads the DSO, thus deallocating the current link map. This is the goal
+ of maintaining l_tls_dtor_count - to unload the DSO and free resources if
+ there are no pending destructors to be called.
+
+ We want to eliminate the inconsistent state where the DSO is unloaded in
+ _dl_close_worker before it is used in __call_tls_dtors. This could happen
+ if __call_tls_dtors uses the link map after it sets l_tls_dtor_count to 0,
+ since _dl_close_worker will conclude from the 0 l_tls_dtor_count value that
+ it is safe to unload the DSO. Hence, to ensure that this does not happen,
+ the following conditions must be met:
+
+ 1. In _dl_close_worker, the l_tls_dtor_count load happens before the DSO
+ is unload and its link map is freed
+ 2. The link map dereference in __call_tls_dtors happens before the
+ l_tls_dtor_count dereference.
+
+ To ensure this, the l_tls_dtor_count decrement in __call_tls_dtors should
+ have release semantics and the load in _dl_close_worker should have acquire
+ semantics.
+
+ Concurrent executions of __call_tls_dtors should only ensure that the value
+ is accessed atomically; no reordering constraints need to be considered.
+ Likewise for the increment of l_tls_dtor_count in __cxa_thread_atexit_impl.
+
+ There is still a possibility on concurrent execution of _dl_close_worker and
+ __call_tls_dtors where _dl_close_worker reads the value of l_tls_dtor_count
+ as 1, __call_tls_dtors decrements the value of l_tls_dtor_count but
+ _dl_close_worker does not unload the DSO, having read the old value. This
+ is not very different from a case where __call_tls_dtors is called after
+ _dl_close_worker on the DSO and hence is an accepted execution. */
