// 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.

namespace {
// In order to make TLS destructors work, we need to keep around a function
// pointer to the destructor for each slot. We keep this array of pointers in a
// global (static) array.
// We use the single OS-level TLS slot (giving us one pointer per thread) to
// hold a pointer to a per-thread array (table) of slots that we allocate to
// Chromium consumers.

// g_native_tls_key is the one native TLS that we use. It stores our table.
#if defined(STARBOARD)

// The OS TLS slot has three states:
//   * kUninitialized: Any call to Slot::Get()/Set() will create the base
//     per-thread TLS state. On POSIX, kUninitialized must be 0.
//   * [Memory Address]: Raw pointer to the base per-thread TLS state.
//   * kDestroyed: The base per-thread TLS state has been freed.
//
// Final States:
//   * Windows: kDestroyed. Windows does not iterate through the OS TLS to clean
//     up the values.
//   * POSIX: kUninitialized. POSIX iterates through TLS until all slots contain
//     nullptr.
//
// More details on this design:
//   We need some type of thread-local state to indicate that the TLS system has
//   been destroyed. To do so, we leverage the multi-pass nature of destruction
//   of pthread_key.
//
//    a) After destruction of TLS system, we set the pthread_key to a sentinel
//       kDestroyed.
//    b) All calls to Slot::Get() DCHECK that the state is not kDestroyed, and
//       any system which might potentially invoke Slot::Get() after destruction
//       of TLS must check ThreadLocalStorage::ThreadIsBeingDestroyed().
//    c) After a full pass of the pthread_keys, on the next invocation of
//       ConstructTlsVector(), we'll then set the key to nullptr.
//    d) At this stage, the TLS system is back in its uninitialized state.
//    e) If in the second pass of destruction of pthread_keys something were to
//       re-initialize TLS [this should never happen! Since the only code which
//       uses Chrome TLS is Chrome controlled, we should really be striving for
//       single-pass destruction], then TLS will be re-initialized and then go
//       through the 2-pass destruction system again. Everything should just
//       work (TM).

// The consumers of kUninitialized and kDestroyed expect void*, since that's
// what the API exposes on both POSIX and Windows.
