"Scalability Implications of Thread Local Storage"

Nov 28, 2022 ... The program calls TlsAlloc() 38 times, and requires that the values it receives are all consecutive. If any non-consecutive value is received, ... Thread Local Storage (TLS) allows variables to be allocated on a per-thread basis. These variables are stored in the thread stack which means every thread has ... Adversaries may inject malicious code into processes via thread local storage (TLS) callbacks in order to evade process-based defenses as well as possibly ... Mar 27, 2022 ... The primary use cases I could identify were: improvements to memory allocation, replication of certain globals (like errno) to make them more thread friendly. Feb 24, 2022 ... The thread-local storage provides an alternative to having to extend the threading.Thread class and define instance variables for thread- ... Dec 27, 2014 ... TLS and FLS can both be used by malware to create in memory storage that is slightly harder to inspect during run time. Thread-local storage (TLS) is a mechanism by which variables are allocated such that there is one instance of the variable per extant thread. On the other hand, if a system can provide at least a memory address (pointer) sized variable thread-local, then this allows the use of arbitrarily sized memory ... Feb 4, 2016 ... I'm struggling with how to translate the JVM's concurrency idioms for Clojure `Vars` over to Go. In particular, Clojure Vars rely on thread-local storage. thread-local storage, unlike the standard library's `thread_local!` macro //! which only allows static thread-local storage. //! //! Per-thread objects are ...
