Po Lu can probably answer this better.

As I understand his previous explanations, global variable values are
stored per-thread, if they were changed by that thread at some point.
For C-defined globals, the Vname instances are re-defined to
point to thread-local "globals" struct.

I do not recall Po Lu providing the details on how the thread-local
variables are stored.
