A search of the IBM site for lock_ppc_mp returns a page for an APAR on

IY30798: VSTH 64BIT: GLOBAL_LOCK_PPC_MP() SEGMENTATION FAULT

With the description

      Error description
64 bit application core dumps when pthread_cancel is
delivered to another thread.
 

So I would guess they are internal to the pthread functions.
