[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t 05/35] lib/igt_core: Track child process pid and tid

[Zbigniew Kempczyński]

Introduce variables which can decrease number of getpid()/gettid()
calls, especially for allocator which must be aware of method
acquiring addresses.

When child is spawned using igt_fork() we can control its initialization
and prepare child_pid implicitly. Tracking child_tid requires our
intervention in the code and do something like this:

if (child_tid == -1)
	child_tid = gettid()

Variable was created for using in TLS so each thread is created
with variable set to -1. This will give each thread it's own "copy"
and there's no risk to use other thread tid. For each forked child
we reassign -1 to child_tid to avoid using already set variable.
