Edward has already pointed your attention to the relevant section. 

Nonetheless, there are general techiques to learn from this. 
With Linux, it's important to know how to research things and 
figure them out; to learn how to learn. 

A way for you to figure out where thread hijacking is discussed, 
is to use your browser's search feature to look for words such as 
"thread", "hijack", or both. When looking for English verbs, 
it's often helpful to look for the unconjugated root if you 
don't find the conjugated word. For example, Stuart wrote 
"hijacked", but you won't find that word on the web page, 
but you will find the root "hijack" on the page, not as that word, 
but as part of the word "hijacking" in the phrase "thread hijacking". 

Another technique would be to read the whole page, 
which might be a good thing to do anyway.
