Compiler optimizations can cache TLS values across coroutine yield
points, resulting in stale values from the previous thread when a
coroutine is re-entered by a new thread.
Serge Guelton developed an __attribute__((noinline)) wrapper and tested
it with clang and gcc. I formatted his idea according to QEMU's coding
style and wrote documentation.
The compiler can still optimize based on analyzing noinline code, so an
asm volatile barrier with an output constraint is required to prevent
unwanted optimizations.
