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 and Richard Henderson developed an
inline-friendly architecture-specific 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. This patch does not
include a checkpatch.pl rule that requires coroutine-tls.h usage, but perhaps
we should add one for block/ at least?

Stefan Hajnoczi (4):
  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
