This is done in preparation for the selftest uplift to become compatible with glibc-2.35. glibc-2.35 exposes the rseq per-thread data in the TCB, accessible at an offset from the thread pointer, rather than through an actual Thread-Local Storage (TLS) variable, as the kernel selftests initially expected. Introduce a rseq_get_abi() helper, initially using the __rseq_abi TLS variable, in preparation for changing this userspace ABI for one which is compatible with glibc-2.35. Note that the __rseq_abi TLS and glibc-2.35's ABI for per-thread data cannot actively coexist in a process, because the kernel supports only a single rseq registration per thread.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
