Re: [PATCH 1/3] glibc: Perform rseq registration at C startup and thread creation (v22)

We need another change to get this working on most non-x86
architectures:

diff --git a/elf/dl-tls.c b/elf/dl-tls.c
index 817bcbbf59..ca13778ca9 100644
--- a/elf/dl-tls.c
+++ b/elf/dl-tls.c
@@ -134,6 +134,12 @@ void
 _dl_determine_tlsoffset (void)
 {
   size_t max_align = TLS_TCB_ALIGN;
+  /* libc.so with rseq has TLS with 32-byte alignment.  Since TLS is
+     initialized before audit modules are loaded and slotinfo
+     information is available, this is not taken into account below in
+     the audit case.  */
+  max_align = MAX (max_align, 32U);
+
   size_t freetop = 0;
   size_t freebottom = 0;

This isn't visible on x86-64 because TLS_TCB_ALIGN is already 64 there.

I plan to re-test with this fix and push the series.

Carlos, is it okay if I fold in the dl-tls.c change if testing looks
good?

Thanks,
Florian
