I would like to bring back rseq for glibc 2.35.  I propose the following
steps:

1. Enable rseq registration in glibc, for internal use only.  This time,
   put the rseq area into struct pthread, not into a initial-exec TLS
   symbol.  (This helps to avoid with initial-exec TLS bloat with dlopen
   and simplifies initialization somewhat.)

Isn't THREAD_SELF also implemented in TLS? Or am I missing
something?

THREAD_SELF uses a pointer in the thread control block, and that pointer
is not replicated for different libc.so.6 copies with dlmopen (like the
rest of the TCB and struct pthread).

Thanks,
Florian
