both static and dynamic linked versions of the __copy_tls function have a hidden assumption that the alignment of the beginning or end of the memory passed is suitable for storing an array of pointers for the dtv. pthread_create satisfies this requirement except when libc.tls_size is misaligned, which cannot happen with dynamic linking due to way update_tls_size computes the total size, but could happen with static linking and odd-sized TLS.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
