dwarf2_physname is called twice with the parameter NAME is
"another_thread_local".
The first is about DW_TAG_member and the second is about DW_TAG_variable.

 <2><37>: Abbrev Number: 3 (DW_TAG_member)
    <38>   DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0x6e):
another_thread_local
    <3c>   DW_AT_decl_file   : 1
    <3d>   DW_AT_decl_line   : 3
    <3e>   DW_AT_type        : <0x44>
    <42>   DW_AT_external    : 1
    <42>   DW_AT_accessibility: 1 (public)
    <43>   DW_AT_declaration : 1
....
 <1><68>: Abbrev Number: 6 (DW_TAG_variable)
    <69>   DW_AT_specification: <0x37>
    <6d>   DW_AT_decl_line   : 6
    <6e>   DW_AT_linkage_name: (indirect string, offset: 0x0):
_ZN1K20another_thread_localE

The second one matters, not the first one.  If I set this breakpoint,
it will hit twice,

(gdb) b dwarf2_physname if strcmp (name, "another_thread_local") == 0

in the 2nd breakpoint hit, you can see dwarf2_physname is called by
new_symbol_full,

(gdb) bt 5
#0  dwarf2_physname (name=0x60d0000096fe "another_thread_local",
die=0x621000156ce0, cu=0x612000018340)
    at gdb/dwarf2read.c:11183
#1  0x00000000008f20a9 in new_symbol_full (die=0x621000156ce0,
type=0x0, cu=0x612000018340, space=0x0)
    at gdb/dwarf2read.c:21416
#2  0x00000000008c80a6 in read_variable (die=0x621000156ce0,
cu=0x612000018340) at gdb/dwarf2read.c:14439

it returns "K::another_thread_local", and use it to set symbol name.
That symbol
is used in lookup_minimal_symbol_and_objfile (SYMBOL_LINKAGE_NAME (sym))
later when you type command "info address K::another_thread_local".
