AFAIK, in Linux the archs specs define which register is supposed to be

don't define a register but a dedicated memory location, managed by the
OS when scheduling threads and processes, to be the threadvar pointer.
Where can be a detailed specification of this found?
I found these:

How does it handle
dyn. loaded libs using thread vars?
The just compiler addresses the threadvars relative to a register
instead of the pointer to the global area with normal globals. (Or
with X86/32 using another segment register instead of the default DS).
So regarding the code it's just another Global area, in realtime the
base of same is switching automatically when the thread is scheduled.
