[PATCH v4 0/4] tls: add macros for coroutine-safe TLS variables

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

v4:
- Dropped '[RFC]'.
- Dropped inline asm for now. -fPIC versions of the code are missing and I
  hit several issues including a clang LTO bug where thread local variables are
  incorrectly discarded because inline asm is not analyzed to find symbol
  dependencies (Serge Guelton is aware).
- Fixed CI failures.
v3:
- Added __attribute__((weak)) to get_ptr_*() [Florian]
- Replace rdfsbase with mov %%fs:0,%0 [Florian]

This patch series solves the coroutines TLS problem. Coroutines re-entered from
another thread sometimes see stale TLS values. This happens because compilers
may cache values across yield points, so a value from the previous thread will
be used when the coroutine is re-entered in another thread.

Serge Guelton developed a portable technique, see the first patch for details.

I have audited all __thread variables in QEMU and converted those that can be
used from coroutines. Most actually look safe to me.

  tls: add macros for coroutine-safe TLS variables
  util/async: replace __thread with QEMU TLS macros
  rcu: use coroutine TLS macros
  cpus: use coroutine TLS macros for iothread_locked
