Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] linux: Simplify get_nprocs
Date: Tue,  7 Sep 2021 09:22:58 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210907122259.79800-3-adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210907122259.79800-1-adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>

This patch simplifies the memory allocation code and uses the sched
routines instead of reimplement it.  This still uses a stack
allocation buffer, so it can be used on malloc initialization code.

Linux currently supports at maximum of 4096 cpus for most architectures:

$ find -iname Kconfig | xargs git grep -A10 -w NR_CPUS | grep -w range
arch/alpha/Kconfig-	range 2 32
arch/arc/Kconfig-	range 2 4096
arch/arm/Kconfig-	range 2 16 if DEBUG_KMAP_LOCAL
arch/arm/Kconfig-	range 2 32 if !DEBUG_KMAP_LOCAL
arch/arm64/Kconfig-	range 2 4096
arch/csky/Kconfig-	range 2 32
arch/hexagon/Kconfig-	range 2 6 if SMP
arch/ia64/Kconfig-	range 2 4096
arch/mips/Kconfig-	range 2 256
arch/openrisc/Kconfig-	range 2 32
arch/parisc/Kconfig-	range 2 32
arch/riscv/Kconfig-	range 2 32
arch/s390/Kconfig-	range 2 512
arch/sh/Kconfig-	range 2 32
arch/sparc/Kconfig-	range 2 32 if SPARC32
arch/sparc/Kconfig-	range 2 4096 if SPARC64
arch/um/Kconfig-	range 1 1
arch/x86/Kconfig-# [NR_CPUS_RANGE_BEGIN ... NR_CPUS_RANGE_END] range.
arch/x86/Kconfig-	range NR_CPUS_RANGE_BEGIN NR_CPUS_RANGE_END
arch/xtensa/Kconfig-	range 2 32

With x86 supporting 8192:

arch/x86/Kconfig
 976 config NR_CPUS_RANGE_END
 977         int
 978         depends on X86_64
 979         default 8192 if  SMP && CPUMASK_OFFSTACK
 980         default  512 if  SMP && !CPUMASK_OFFSTACK
 981         default    1 if !SMP

So using a maximum of 32k cpu should cover all cases (and I would
expect once we start to have many more CPUs that Linux would provide
a more straightforward way to query for such information).

A test is added to check if sched_getaffinity can successfully return
with large buffers.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.
