[Bug 31322] Remote Tools for Visual Studio 2012 RC for Windows on ARM (WoA) crashes because TPIDRURW (user TLS register) per thread TEB value is not preserved by kernel

Hello André,

So in the end this kernel patch that zeroes out your favourite register needs
to be reverted, right?
Could you please take full care of the kernel part of the problem?

Something like this needs to be reverted, yes:

http://kernel.opensuse.org/cgit/kernel/commit/?id=6a1c53124aa161eb624ce7b1e4...

But that's only the part that restores the code to original state where
TPIDRURW is simply ignored by Linux kernel.

I made a patch on my kernel tree to take care of this user TLS register
(preserve it per thread) when hardware TLS registers are available (ARM v6+).
So far it works (also requires a Wine TEB patch for TPIDRURW) ;-)
The installer runs much farther now but unfortunately exits due to bug 17273
(pipe state).
The WiX based installer creates a verbose log to document failures in
"$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/users/<user>/Temp".

Regards
