  29 // Map stack pointer (%esp) to thread pointer for faster TLS access
  30 //
  31 // Here we use a flat table for better performance. Getting current thread
  32 // is down to one memory access (read _sp_map[%esp>>12]) in generated code
  33 // and two in runtime code (-fPIC code needs an extra load for _sp_map).
  34 //
  35 // This code assumes stack page is not shared by different threads. It works
  36 // in 32-bit VM when page size is 4K (or a multiple of 4K, if that matters).
  37 //
  38 // Notice that _sp_map is allocated in the bss segment, which is ZFOD
  39 // (zero-fill-on-demand). While it reserves 4M address space upfront,
  40 // actual memory pages are committed on demand.
  41 //
  42 // If an application creates and destroys a lot of threads, usually the
  43 // stack space freed by a thread will soon get reused by new thread
  44 // (this is especially true in NPTL or LinuxThreads in fixed-stack mode).
  45 // No memory page in _sp_map is wasted.
  46 //
  47 // However, it's still possible that we might end up populating &
  48 // committing a large fraction of the 4M table over time, but the actual
  49 // amount of live data in the table could be quite small. The max wastage
  50 // is less than 4M bytes. If it becomes an issue, we could use madvise()
  51 // with MADV_DONTNEED to reclaim unused (i.e. all-zero) pages in _sp_map.
  52 // MADV_DONTNEED on Linux keeps the virtual memory mapping, but zaps the
  53 // physical memory page (i.e. similar to MADV_FREE on Solaris).
