+/*
+ * A pointer to the struct thread_info for the currently executing thread is
+ * held in register $28/$gp.
+ *
+ * We declare __current_thread_info as a global register variable rather than a
+ * local register variable within current_thread_info() because clang doesn't
+ * support explicit local register variables.
+ *
+ * When building the VDSO we take care not to declare the global register
+ * variable because this causes GCC to not preserve the value of $28/$gp in
+ * functions that change its value (which is common in the PIC VDSO when
+ * accessing the GOT). Since the VDSO shouldn't be accessing
+ * __current_thread_info anyway we declare it extern in order to cause a link
+ * failure if it's referenced.
