If available, we use the __builtin_thread_pointer() helper to get the value of the TLS register, to help the compiler understand that it doesn't need to reload it every time we access 'current'. Unfortunately, Clang fails to emit the MRC system register read directly when building for Thumb2, and instead, it issues a call to the __aeabi_read_tp helper, which the kernel does not provide, and so this result in link failures at build time. So create a special case for this, and emit the MRC directly using an asm() block, just like we do when the helper is not available to begin with.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
