I'm afraid I'll have to defer to Honza to approve this, but I have found
an issue with the patch.

(Minor nit and I don't care too much, but in GCC we traditionally
specify co-authors in the ChangeLog entry beginning by providing more
names, one per line. But perhaps we want to adapt more widely used
practices.)

decl_default_tls_model depends on the global optimize flag, which is
almost always problematic in IPA passes. I was able to make your patch
ICE using the vis-attr-hidden.c testcase from your patch with:
mjambor@virgil:~/gcc/small/tests/tls$ ~/gcc/small/inst/bin/gcc -O2 -fPIC
-flto -c vis-attr-hidden.c
mjambor@virgil:~/gcc/small/tests/tls$ ~/gcc/small/inst/bin/gcc -fPIC -O0
-shared -flto vis-attr-hidden.o
during IPA pass: whole-program
lto1: internal compiler error: in function_and_variable_visibility, at
ipa-visibility.cc:888
0x25f48c0 function_and_variable_visibility
/home/mjambor/gcc/small/src/gcc/ipa-visibility.cc:888

Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source (by using
-freport-bug).
Please include the complete backtrace with any bug report.
See <https://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/> for instructions.
lto-wrapper: fatal error: /home/mjambor/gcc/small/inst/bin/gcc returned 1
exit status
compilation terminated.
/usr/bin/ld: error: lto-wrapper failed
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Note the use of LTO, mismatching -O flags and the -shared flag in the
link step.
A simple but somewhat lame way to avoid the ICE would be to run your
loop over variables only from pass_ipa_function_and_variable_visibility
and not from pass_ipa_whole_program_visibility.
I am afraid a real solution would involve copying relevant entries from
global_options to the symtab node representing the variable when it is
created/finalized, properly streaming them for LTO, and modifying
decl_default_tls_model to rely on those rather than global_options
itself.
But maybe Honza has some other clever idea.
Also, please be careful not to unnecessarily commit trailing blank
spaces, the empty lines in your patch are not really empty.
