I've integrated "linux-unistd" from Jeff series, while leaving out "user-desc" (I've solved the problem another way, which should work on both host header set - we give our own definition for userspace files, and use our one for kernelspace, but give the resulting type the name of "user_desc_t"). Jeff, I've looked at all other patches _names_ and they're patches which I already have, so I shouldn't have lost any other changes.
Plus, I've just done a couple of other cleanups of the TLS code, removing dead code which was there for experiments; I've implemented 2.4 host detection (I hope I've not forgot to check the host_supports_tls variable anywhere), and I'm ripping out global-ldt-sem which I longly hated (and which isn't easy to avoid). I've ripped it out by comparing header dependencies to i386; the result is that our additional dependency is from processor.h and ptrace.h on ldt.h, but they only depend on the user_desc declaration and not on the uml_ldt_t declaration (which is the one using the semaphore). So I split the user_desc part away in a new header file, and this fixed the problem. However, I tested seriously the new code and it doesn't work with apache2 mpm-worker nor with simpler tests.... I hadn't run such tests recently, and I now see that the code does assumptions which are wrong on x86_64 hosts. Has anyone got success or failure with TLS code on 32-bit machines on 64-bit hosts? More important: has anyone tested that? -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
