processor_bind - bind LWPs to a processor
#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/processor.h> #include <sys/procset.h> int processor_bind(idtype_t idtype, id_t id, processorid_t new_binding, processorid_t **old_binding);
The processor_bind() function binds the LWP (lightweight process) or set of LWPs specified by idtype and id to the processor specified by new_binding. If old_binding is not NULL, it will contain the previous binding of one of the specified LWPs, or PBIND_NONE if none were previously bound.
The following idtypes can be used to specify one or more LWPs:
The binding affects all LWPs of the process with PID id.
The binding affects the LWP of the current process with LWP ID id.
The binding affects all LWPs of all processes with task ID id.
The binding affects all LWPs of all processes with project ID id.
The binding affects all LWPs of all processes with process contract ID id.
The binding affects all LWPs of all processes with zone ID id.
If id is P_MYID, the specified LWP, process, task, or project is the current one.
If processorid is PBIND_NONE, the processor bindings of the specified LWPs are cleared.
If processorid is PBIND_QUERY, the processor bindings are not changed.
It is important to note that the runtime behavior determined by processor_bind (2) is subject to the continued online state of the specified CPU and affiliation to the same processor set as the target LWPs. If these underlying conditions change, a LWP may lose its affinity for a given CPU and need to be reset once the conditions are restored.
The {PRIV_PROC_OWNER} privilege must be asserted in the effective set of the calling process or the real or effective user ID of the calling process must match the real or effective user ID of the LWPs being bound. If the calling process does not have permission to change all of the specified LWPs, the bindings of the LWPs for which it does have permission will be changed even though an error is returned.
Processor bindings are inherited across fork(2) and exec(2).
Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. Otherwise, −1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
The processor_bind() function will fail if:
The location pointed to by obind was not NULL and not writable by the user.
The specified processor is not on-line, or the idtype argument was not P_PID, P_LWPID , P_PROJID, P_TASKID, P_CTID, or P_ZONEID.
The caller is in a non-global zone, the pools facility is active, and the processor is not a member of the zone's pool's processor set.
Binding a system process to a processor set is not supported.
The {PRIV_PROC_OWNER} privilege is not asserted in the effective set of the calling process and its real or effective user ID does not match the real or effective user ID of one of the LWPs being bound.
No processes, LWPs, or tasks were found to match the criteria specified by idtype and id.
