Here's some info on TLS. Review D18960 has the initial implementation
for TLSDESC support: http://reviews.llvm.org/D18960

I've been occasionally testing FreeBSD/arm64 buildworld with lld and
managed to get everything to link with an earlier version of D18960
and an equivalent set of workarounds as on FreeBSD/amd64. There is
some TLS bug outstanding that caused all binaries to segfault at
start, though. I plan to take another look at that once D18711 and
D18960 land.

Hi Ed,

Yeah, the review is taking a while, and we need to keep rebasing all the time.

Once it's in, we'd love to see how it works on FreeBSD.

Thanks!

Hi Ed, Renato,

Thanks a lot for your replies and comments! As I understand most of basic
linker features
should work just fine for the aarch64 architecture.

Thanks, Dima.
