Re: how to implement Thread Local Storage (TLS) in kernel

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Lets see, there are a limited number of sockets ever opened, but thousands
of thread occur in a running system, uh your design has big flaws here.
Even if the above were not the case, how are you going to track this stuff
in the kernel?
