Introduce thread specific data object and array of such objects to store and manage thread local data. Implement functions to allocate, initialize, finalize and release thread specific data. Thread local maps and overwrite_maps arrays keep pointers to mmap buffer objects to serve according to maps thread mask. Thread local pollfd array keeps event fds connected to mmaps buffers according to maps thread mask. Thread control commands are delivered via thread local comm pipes and ctlfd_pos fd. External control commands (--control option) are delivered via evlist ctlfd_pos fd and handled by the main tool thread.

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.
