Subject: [Bug libc/28310] New: Do not use affinity mask for sysconf (_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF)
Date: Mon, 06 Sep 2021 10:46:03 +0000	[thread overview]

            Bug ID: 28310
           Summary: Do not use affinity mask for sysconf
                    (_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF)
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: fweimer at redhat dot com

  Target Milestone: ---

The change in bug 27645 breaks the top command in common hypervisor
configurations (and also other monitoring tools). That's far more drastic than
some container use case that does not even work reliably with most container
hosts (only those that lie about affinity masks or are very unusual in that
they do not oversubscribe CPUs).

    linux: Use sched_getaffinity for __get_nprocs (BZ #27645)

    Both the sysfs and procfs parsing (through GET_NPROCS_PARSER) are
    removed in favor the syscall.  The initial scratch buffer should
    fit to most of the common usage (1024 bytes with maps to 8192 CPUs).
