[PATCH 07/10] hurd: Fix x86_64 _hurd_tls_fork


From: Sergey Bugaev
Subject: [PATCH 07/10] hurd: Fix x86_64 _hurd_tls_fork
Date: Wed, 17 May 2023 22:14:33 +0300

It is illegal to call thread_get_state () on mach_thread_self (), so
this codepath cannot be used as-is to fork the calling thread's TLS.
Fortunately we can use THREAD_SELF (aka %fs:0x0) to find out the value
of our fs_base without calling into the kernel.

Fixes: f6cf701efc61c9ad910372bda14b9a235db310a8
"hurd: Implement TLS for x86_64"

Checked on x86_64-gnu: fork () now works!

It would be nice if GNU Mach allowed

thread_get_state (mach_thread_self (), i386_FSGS_BASE_STATE)

like it already allows thread_set_state for this case. But even if
gnumach adds suppport for this, doing it in userspace without an extra
RPC is still better.
