getcpu - determine CPU and NUMA node on which the calling thread is running
#include <linux/getcpu.h> int getcpu(unsigned *cpu, unsigned *node, struct getcpu_cache *tcache);
The third argument to this system call is nowadays unused.
The information placed in cpu is only guaranteed to be current at the time of the call: unless the CPU affinity has been fixed using sched_setaffinity(2), the kernel might change the CPU at any time. (Normally this does not happen because the scheduler tries to minimize movements between CPUs to keep caches hot, but it is possible.) The caller must be prepared to handle the situation when cpu and node are no longer the current CPU and node.
Glibc does not provide a wrapper for this system call; call it using syscall(2); or use sched_getcpu(3) instead.
The tcache argument is unused since Linux 2.6.24. In earlier kernels, if this argument was non-NULL, then it specified a pointer to a caller-allocated buffer in thread-local storage that was used to provide a caching mechanism for getcpu(). Use of the cache could speed getcpu() calls, at the cost that there was a very small chance that the returned information would be out of date. The caching mechanism was considered to cause problems when migrating threads between CPUs, and so the argument is now ignored.
