Make Ghidra recognize thread-local variables

Question

I am trying to reverse an ELF binary that makes use of thread-local variables. I can't figure out how to make Ghidra display them in a friendlier way (something like declaring a struct or similar).

For example, this is how a call to scanf with a FILE* stored in TLS looks like:

scanf(*(FILE **)(in_FS_OFFSET + 0xfffffff0),"%d",&num);

Ideally, I would like this to look something like:

scanf(tls->outfile, "%d", &num);

Is it possible to make it more user-friendly? I looked around but I haven't seen anyone complaining about this.

Here's an example code:

#include <threads.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <assert.h>

thread_local int foo = 0;

int main(void) {
    assert(scanf("%d", &foo) == 1);
    printf("foo is: %d\n", foo);
    return 0;
}

tls.c compile with CFLAGS="-std=c11 -Wall -Wextra -O0 -ggdb -Werror" make tls

And here's the decompiled code:

It seems like this feature is not yet implemented in Ghidra.
