// Chrome Thread Local Storage (TLS)
//
// This TLS system allows Chrome to use a single OS level TLS slot process-wide,
// and allows us to control the slot limits instead of being at the mercy of the
// platform. To do this, Chrome TLS replicates an array commonly found in the OS
// thread metadata.
//
// Overview:
//
// OS TLS Slots       Per-Thread                 Per-Process Global
//     ...
//     []             Chrome TLS Array           Chrome TLS Metadata
//     [] ----------> [][][][][ ][][][][]        [][][][][ ][][][][]
//     []                      |                          |
//     ...                     V                          V
//                      Metadata Version           Slot Information
//                         Your Data!
//
// Using a single OS TLS slot, Chrome TLS allocates an array on demand for the
// lifetime of each thread that requests Chrome TLS data. Each per-thread TLS
// array matches the length of the per-process global metadata array.
//
// A per-process global TLS metadata array tracks information about each item in
// the per-thread array:
//   * Status: Tracks if the slot is allocated or free to assign.
//   * Destructor: An optional destructor to call on thread destruction for that
//                 specific slot.
//   * Version: Tracks the current version of the TLS slot. Each TLS slot
//              allocation is associated with a unique version number.
//
//              Most OS TLS APIs guarantee that a newly allocated TLS slot is
//              initialized to 0 for all threads. The Chrome TLS system provides
//              this guarantee by tracking the version for each TLS slot here
//              on each per-thread Chrome TLS array entry. Threads that access
//              a slot with a mismatched version will receive 0 as their value.
//              The metadata version is incremented when the client frees a
//              slot. The per-thread metadata version is updated when a client
//              writes to the slot. This scheme allows for constant time
//              invalidation and avoids the need to iterate through each Chrome
//              TLS array to mark the slot as zero.
//
// Just like an OS TLS API, clients of the Chrome TLS are responsible for
// managing any necessary lifetime of the data in their slots. The only
// convenience provided is automatic destruction when a thread ends. If a client
// frees a slot, that client is responsible for destroying the data in the slot.
