54 The cpu_set_t data structure represents a set of CPUs. CPU sets are
55 used by sched_setaffinity(2) and similar interfaces.
56
57 The cpu_set_t data type is implemented as a bitset. However, the data
58 structure treated as considered opaque: all manipulation of CPU sets
59 should be done via the macros described in this page.
60
61 The following macros are provided to operate on the CPU set set:
62
63 CPU_ZERO() Clears set, so that it contains no CPUs.
64
65 CPU_SET() Add CPU cpu to set.
66
67 CPU_CLR() Remove CPU cpu from set.
68
69 CPU_ISSET() Test to see if CPU cpu is a member of set.
70
71 CPU_COUNT() Return the number of CPUs in set.
72
73 Where a cpu argument is specified, it should not produce side effects,
74 since the above macros may evaluate the argument more than once.
75
76 The first available CPU on the system corresponds to a cpu value of 0,
77 the next CPU corresponds to a cpu value of 1, and so on. The constant
78 CPU_SETSIZE (currently 1024) specifies a value one greater than the
79 maximum CPU number that can be stored in cpu_set_t.
80
81 The following macros perform logical operations on CPU sets:
82
83 CPU_AND() Store the intersection of the sets srcset1 and srcset2
84 in destset (which may be one of the source sets).
85
86 CPU_OR() Store the union of the sets srcset1 and srcset2 in
87 destset (which may be one of the source sets).
88
89 CPU_XOR() Store the XOR of the sets srcset1 and srcset2 in dest‐
90 set (which may be one of the source sets). The XOR
91 means the set of CPUs that are in either srcset1 or
92 srcset2, but not both.
93
94 CPU_EQUAL() Test whether two CPU set contain exactly the same
95 CPUs.
96
97 Dynamically sized CPU sets
98 Because some applications may require the ability to dynamically size
99 CPU sets (e.g., to allocate sets larger than that defined by the stan‐
100 dard cpu_set_t data type), glibc nowadays provides a set of macros to
101 support this.
102
103 The following macros are used to allocate and deallocate CPU sets:
104
105 CPU_ALLOC() Allocate a CPU set large enough to hold CPUs in the
106 range 0 to num_cpus-1.
107
108 CPU_ALLOC_SIZE() Return the size in bytes of the CPU set that would be
109 needed to hold CPUs in the range 0 to num_cpus-1.
110 This macro provides the value that can be used for the
111 setsize argument in the CPU_*_S() macros described
112 below.
113
114 CPU_FREE() Free a CPU set previously allocated by CPU_ALLOC().
115
116 The macros whose names end with "_S" are the analogs of the similarly
117 named macros without the suffix. These macros perform the same tasks
118 as their analogs, but operate on the dynamically allocated CPU set(s)
119 whose size is setsize bytes.
120
122 CPU_ISSET() and CPU_ISSET_S() return nonzero if cpu is in set; other‐
123 wise, it returns 0.
124
125 CPU_COUNT() and CPU_COUNT_S() return the number of CPUs in set.
126
127 CPU_EQUAL() and CPU_EQUAL_S() return nonzero if the two CPU sets are
128 equal; otherwise it returns 0.
129
130 CPU_ALLOC() returns a pointer on success, or NULL on failure. (Errors
131 are as for malloc(3).)
132
133 CPU_ALLOC_SIZE() returns the number of bytes required to store a CPU
134 set of the specified cardinality.
135
136 The other functions do not return a value.
137
139 The CPU_ZERO(), CPU_SET(), CPU_CLR(), and CPU_ISSET() macros were added
140 in glibc 2.3.3.
141
142 CPU_COUNT() first appeared in glibc 2.6.
143
144 CPU_AND(), CPU_OR(), CPU_XOR(), CPU_EQUAL(), CPU_ALLOC(),
145 CPU_ALLOC_SIZE(), CPU_FREE(), CPU_ZERO_S(), CPU_SET_S(), CPU_CLR_S(),
146 CPU_ISSET_S(), CPU_AND_S(), CPU_OR_S(), CPU_XOR_S(), and CPU_EQUAL_S()
147 first appeared in glibc 2.7.
148
150 These interfaces are Linux-specific.
151
153 To duplicate a CPU set, use memcpy(3).
154
155 Since CPU sets are bitsets allocated in units of long words, the actual
156 number of CPUs in a dynamically allocated CPU set will be rounded up to
157 the next multiple of sizeof(unsigned long). An application should con‐
158 sider the contents of these extra bits to be undefined.
159
160 Notwithstanding the similarity in the names, note that the constant
161 CPU_SETSIZE indicates the number of CPUs in the cpu_set_t data type
162 (thus, it is effectively a count of bits in the bitset), while the set‐
163 size argument of the CPU_*_S() macros is a size in bytes.
164
165 The data types for arguments and return values shown in the SYNOPSIS
166 are hints what about is expected in each case. However, since these
167 interfaces are implemented as macros, the compiler won't necessarily
168 catch all type errors if you violate the suggestions.
169
171 On 32-bit platforms with glibc 2.8 and earlier, CPU_ALLOC() allocates
172 twice as much space as is required, and CPU_ALLOC_SIZE() returns a
173 value twice as large as it should. This bug should not affect the
174 semantics of a program, but does result in wasted memory and less effi‐
175 cient operation of the macros that operate on dynamically allocated CPU
176 sets. These bugs are fixed in glibc 2.9.
177
179 The following program demonstrates the use of some of the macros used
180 for dynamically allocated CPU sets.
