_lwp_setprivate() stores the pointer to private data
ptr in a location private to the LWP.
_lwp_getprivate() returns the pointer to
private data for the LWP.
Some platforms provide alternative ways quicker than
_lwp_getprivate() to use the pointer.
%fs register is set to the
pointer so that the private data can be accessed using the selector.%gs register is set to the
pointer so that the private data can be accessed using the selector.%g7
register is set to the pointer._lwp_getprivate() and
_lwp_setprivate() functions are always successful, and
no return value is reserved to indicate an error.
_lwp_getprivate() and
_lwp_setprivate() system calls first appeared in
NetBSD 2.0.
