Thread Local Storage

Each thread is given a 0x200-byte thread-local-storage block by the kernel. It is used during IPC communications.
A pointer to the thread-local-storage can be read using the ARM instruction:
mrc 15, 0, rX, cr13, cr0, 3
Every application has RW access to its thread-local-storage.
The kernel requires the application to put IPC parameters and IPC static buffers inside the thread-local-storage:
| Offset | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0x80 | Undefined, can be used by application for any purpose. |
| 0x80 | 0x100 | IPC command with parameters |
| 0x180 | 0x80 | IPC static buffers |
