In llimits.h, you have also an interesting piece of code

#ifndef lua_lock
#define lua_lock(L)     ((void) 0)
#define lua_unlock(L)   ((void) 0)
#endif

#ifndef luai_threadyield
#define luai_threadyield(L)     {lua_unlock(L); lua_lock(L);}
#endif

I'm not 100% sure, but I remember that it's a way to have a thread safe
Lua librairy while using different Lua threads into different C threads.
The only drawback is that you need to rebuild your own Lua librairy.
