<p>Global variables define regions of memory allocated at compilation time
instead of run-time. Global variables may optionally be initialized, may
have an explicit section to be placed in, and may have an optional explicit
- alignment specified. A variable may be defined as "thread_local", which
+ alignment specified.</p>
+
+<p>A variable may be defined as <tt>thread_local</tt>, which
means that it will not be shared by threads (each thread will have a
- separated copy of the variable). A variable may be defined as a global
+ separated copy of the variable). Not all targets support thread-local
+ variables. Optionally, a TLS model may be specified:</p>
+
+<dl>
+ <dt><b><tt>localdynamic</tt></b>:</dt>
+ <dd>For variables that are only used within the current shared library.</dd>
+
+ <dt><b><tt>initialexec</tt></b>:</dt>
+ <dd>For variables in modules that will not be loaded dynamically.</dd>
+
+ <dt><b><tt>localexec</tt></b>:</dt>
+ <dd>For variables defined in the executable and only used within it.</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<p>The models correspond to the ELF TLS models; see
+ <a href="http://people.redhat.com/drepper/tls.pdf">ELF
+ Handling For Thread-Local Storage</a> for more information on under which
+ circumstances the different models may be used. The target may choose a
+ different TLS model if the specified model is not supported, or if a better
+ choice of model can be made.</p>
+
+<p>A variable may be defined as a global
"constant," which indicates that the contents of the variable
will <b>never</b> be modified (enabling better optimization, allowing the
global data to be placed in the read-only section of an executable, etc).
@G = addrspace(5) constant float 1.0, section "foo", align 4

+<p>The following example defines a thread-local global with
