        <pre>Clang generates a call to an __aeabi_read_tp function to access an arm32 ELF
TLS variable using the Initial-Exec or Local-Exec access models. GCC also
generates a call to this ABI function for ARMv5, but for better performance on
ARMv7, it inlines the call.

Could Clang also inline the call?

test.c:

    __thread int tlsvar;

    int bump() {
      return ++tlsvar;
    }
