[PATCH 09/17] alpha: switch to copy_thread_tls()

From: Christian Brauner
Date: Mon Jun 22 2020 - 19:47:00 EST


Use the copy_thread_tls() calling convention which passes tls through a
register. This is required so we can remove the copy_thread{_tls}() split
and remove the HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS macro.
