[RFC PATCH for 4.21 01/16] rseq/selftests: Expose reference counter to coexist with glibc (v2)

From: Mathieu Desnoyers
Date: Thu Nov 01 2018 - 05:59:10 EST


In order to integrate rseq into user-space applications, expose a
reference counter TLS as a __rseq_refcount weak symbol so many rseq
users can be linked into the same application (e.g. librseq and glibc).
The reference count ensures that rseq syscall
registration/unregistration happens only for the most early/late user
for each thread, thus ensuring that rseq is registered across the
lifetime of all rseq users for a given thread.
