+/* NaCl has no concept of PID or TID, nor even any notion of an
+   identifier for a thread within the process.  But various places in
+   the NPTL implementation rely on using the 'tid' field of the TCB
+   (struct pthread) as an identifier that is unique at least among all
+   live threads in the process.  So we must synthesize some number to
+   use.  Conveniently, the 'pthread_t' value itself is already unique
+   in exactly this way (because it's the 'struct pthread' pointer).
+
+   The only wrinkle is that 'tid' is a (32-bit) 'int' and its high
+   (sign) bit is used for special purposes, so we must be absolutely
+   sure that we never use a pointer value with the high bit set.  (It
+   also cannot be zero, but zero is never a valid pointer anyway.)
+   The NaCl sandbox models for 32-bit machines limit the address space
+   to less than 3GB (in fact, to 1GB), so it's already impossible that
+   a valid pointer will have its high bit set.  But the NaCl x86-64
+   sandbox model allows a full 4GB of address space, so we cannot
+   assume that an arbitrary pointer value will not have the high bit
+   set.  Conveniently, there are always unused bits in the pointer
+   value for a 'struct pthread', because it is always aligned to at
+   least 32 bits and so the low bits are always zero.  Hence, we can
+   safely avoid the danger of a nonzero high bit just by shifting the
+   pointer value right.  */
