We agreed back then to keep it in the plat/ code because arch/ contains only code that is available to user applications as well. This is not the case for the TLS changes since they are private to Unikraft, so please move this to plat/common/include/x86/ . Similarly, .c files for thread arch dependent code should be in plat/common/x86/. I'll be honest, in my personal opinion, the organization of code that is platform *and* architecture specific, and code that is architecture, *but not* platform specific, is a huge mess at the moment. For example, your reasoning that arch/ should only contain code "available to the application" is new to me, I can't remember hearing it before. It's certainly one way to structure it, though my first reaction is to disagree with this concept. :-) I'd rather have both in arch/, and put the "public" functions into one hierarchy, and the "non-public" functions in another. If that's even necessary... if an application developer wants to manually save and restore their registers, or change the stack pointer, or whatever... we give everyone the freedom to shoot themselves in the foot with the type of gun they choose. About architecture-dependent code, I already had many discussion with Simon when I did the extended register patch series, and it seems we're always ending up where we started. Last time, I just metaphorically threw my hands up in the air at some point and put it wherever, part of which is why there's x86-specific code in sw_ctx.c (where it patently shouldn't be, considering imminent arm support.) My point on your comment is thus: I don't care any more where all this code goes. :-) I foresee a massive refactoring in the future. Until then, I put the code where it makes most sense to me, and am mostly dispassionate about where it ends up in the end. Bottom lime: as long as you two (you and Simon) come up with a consistent suggestion where I should put this code, I will go with it without any further complains. Moreover, I would rename it to tls.h and use it also in the next patch instead of thread_switch.h (see the discussion on the next patch). While it might not seem like it at first glance, this naming is actually part of the discussions above. The idea was to eventually move other architecture-specific thread switching code (register saving and restoring) to that file, too, because that code is solely dependent on the architecture and not on the platform. Depending on the outcome of the above discussion, I'm fine with a name change though. @@ -0,0 +1,64 @@ +/* SPDX-License-Identifier: BSD-3-Clause */ +/* + * Authors: Florian Schmidt <florian.schmidt@xxxxxxxxx> + * + * Copyright (c) 2019, NEC Europe Ltd., NEC Corporation.
