# PowerPC64: Add __private_ss field to TCB header
#
# The TCB header on Intel contains a field __private_ss that is used
# to efficiently implement the -fsplit-stack GCC feature.
#
# In order to prepare for a possible future implementation of that
# feature on powerpc64, we'd like to reserve a similar field in
# the TCB header as well. (It would be good if this went in with
# or before the ELFv2 patches to ensure that this field will be
# available always in the ELFv2 environment.)
#
# The field needs to be added at the front of tcbhead_t structure
# to avoid changing the ABI; see the recent discussion when adding
# the EBB fields.
