Yes you need some lazy setup in thread-local state to use this. And short-lived threads should be avoided anyway :)

I guess if you need the concurrency/throughput you should use a userspace green thread implementation. I’m guessing most implementations of green threads multiplex onto long running os threads anyway
In a system with green threads, you typically want the CPU time of the fiber or tasklet rather than the carrier thread. In that case, you have to ask the scheduler, not the kernel.
