[PECOFF] Support TLS callbacks.
The contents from section .CRT$XLA to .CRT$XLZ is an array of function pointers. They are called by the runtime when a new thread is created or (gracefully) terminated. You can make your own initialization function to be called by that mechanism. All you have to do is: - Define a pointer to a function in a .CRT$XL* section using pragma - Make an external reference to "__tls_used" symbol That technique is used in many projects. This patch is to support that. What this patch does is to set the relative virtual address of "__tls_used" to the PECOFF directory table. __tls_used is actually a struct containing pointers to a symbol in .CRT$XLA and another symbol in .CRT$XLZ. The runtime looks at the directory table, gets the address of the struct, and call the function pointers between XLA and XLZ. llvm-svn: 218007
