>Description:
Compiler generated code will call ___tls_get_addr() of ld-elf.so
for TLS variable.  It is supposed to return the same address, every time,
for the same passed address and thread, but it does not.

	
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile following code with commands

 1. cc -shared -o test-tls-1.so -pthread -fpic test-tls-1.c
 2. cc -o test-tls -pthread test-tls.c

test-tls is supposed to print "100" on stdout, but it print out "50",
instead.  If you dig into opcodes, you will find that ___tls_get_addr()
return two different base addresses for modify() and for show() respective.
This issue is only making troubles for programs accessing TLS after dlopen().

--- test-tls-1.c begins here ---
#include <stdio.h>

__thread int var = 50;

void
modify(void) {
    var = 100;
}

void
show(void) {
    printf("%d\n", var);
}
--- test-tls-1.c ends here ---

--- test-tls.c begins here ---
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>

int
main(int argc, char * const *argv) {
    void (*modify)(void);
    void (*modify)(void);
    void *sohdl;

    sohdl = dlopen("./test-tls-1.so", RTLD_NOW);
    modify = (void (*)(void))dlsym(sohdl, "modify");
    show = (void (*)(void))dlsym(sohdl, "show");

    modify();
    show();

    return 0;
}
--- test-tls.c ends here ---

	
>Fix:

Apply following patch on the root of source tree can fix this issue.
