It seems that llvm uses emulated tls on android by default since this commit. Which uses a pthread_key to emulate various tls objects at runtime(code).

I've built a demo with a custom android target setting has_thread_local=true and a slightly modified std as what this PR does, and it works fine. The generated function symbol __emutls_get_address would link to an implementation in libgcc.a , which is also required by std for now.

By enable has_thread_local, we can reduce the number of pthread_keys used by rust libraries on android, which are quite limited resources(128 per process). I've been investgating some crashes caused by unable to create more pthread_key in our project with about 80 pthread_keys used by rust part.

Hey! It looks like you've submitted a new PR for the library teams!

If this PR contains changes to any rust-lang/rust public library APIs then please comment with r? rust-lang/libs-api @rustbot label +T-libs-api -T-libs to request review from a libs-api team reviewer. If you're unsure where your change falls no worries, just leave it as is and the reviewer will take a look and make a decision to forward on if necessary.

Examples of T-libs-api changes:

  • Stabilizing library features
  • Introducing insta-stable changes such as new implementations of existing stable traits on existing stable types
  • Introducing new or changing existing unstable library APIs (excluding permanently unstable features / features without a tracking issue)
  • Changing public documentation in ways that create new stability guarantees
  • Changing observable runtime behavior of library APIs

@rustbot rustbot added T-compiler Relevant to the compiler team, which will review and decide on the PR/issue. T-libs Relevant to the library team, which will review and decide on the PR/issue. labels Apr 22, 2022

We'll definitely want to remove the merge commit (please rebase it away).

Otherwise, this seems OK in general but I don't have sufficient context here. r? @Amanieu since you merged the compiler-builtins PR.

LGTM!

In general we should prefer using LLVM-backed TLS where possible since it can be optimized better.

set has_thread_local=true for android

It seems that llvm uses emulated tls on android by default since [this commit](https://reviews.llvm.org/D42999). Which uses a `pthread_key` to emulate various tls objects at runtime([code](https://github.com/llvm-mirror/compiler-rt/blob/master/lib/builtins/emutls.c)).

I've built a demo with a custom android target setting `has_thread_local=true` and a slightly modified `std` as what this PR does, and it works fine. The generated function symbol `__emutls_get_address`  would link to an implementation in `libgcc.a` , which is also [required by std](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/library/unwind/build.rs#L18) for now.

By enable `has_thread_local`, we can reduce the number of `pthread_key`s used by rust libraries on android, which are quite limited resources(128 per process). I've been investgating some crashes caused by unable to create more pthread_key in our project with about 80 `pthread_key`s used by rust part.

Use emulated TLS for android

This is a reopen of rust-lang#96317 . many android devices still only use 128 pthread keys, so using emutls can be helpful.

Add emulated TLS support

This is a reopen of rust-lang#96317 . many android devices still only use 128 pthread keys, so using emutls can be helpful.

Currently LLVM uses emutls by default for some targets (such as android, openbsd), but rust does not use it, because `has_thread_local` is false.

This commit has some changes to allow users to enable emutls:

1. add `-Zhas-thread-local` flag to specify that std uses `#[thread_local]` instead of pthread key.
2. when using emutls, decorate symbol names to find thread local symbol correctly.
3. change `-Zforce-emulated-tls` to `-Ztls-model=emulated` to explicitly specify whether to generate emutls.
