Without further ado, the following was found:

Issue 1:  The function → Functions marked with
Issue 2:  reads → read

"The function marked with I<hostid> as an MT-Safety issue reads from the "
"system-wide data structures that hold the \"host ID\" of the machine.  These "
"data structures cannot generally be modified atomically.  Since it is "
"expected that the \"host ID\" will not normally change, the function that "
"reads from it (B<gethostid>(3))  is regarded as safe, whereas the function "
"that modifies it (B<sethostid>(3))  is marked with I<const:hostid>, "
"indicating it may require special care if it is to be called.  In this "
"specific case, the special care amounts to system-wide (not merely intra-"
"process) coordination."
