+// For arm32 and -mtp=soft, the compiler uses this function to read the thread
+// pointer for ELF TLS accesses. With -mtp=cp15, the compiler inlines the call
+// instead. GCC defaults to -mtp=auto, which inlines this function with
+// -march=armv7-a. Clang does not yet implement -mtp=auto, and instead defaults
+// to -mtp=soft.
