Hi,
RHEL5.10 GA was January 2013, it's an older codebase, but release is quite
recent.
I ran this on RHEL5.3:
(gdb) r
Starting program:
/root/ltp/testcases/kernel/syscalls/sched_setaffinity/sched_setaffinity01
Detaching after fork from child process 7692.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
__sched_setaffinity_new (pid=<value optimized out>, cpusetsize=<value optimized
out>, cpuset=<value optimized out>)
at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sched_setaffinity.c:62
62 if (((char *) cpuset)[cnt] != '\0')
(gdb) list
57 }
58
59 /* We now know the size of the kernel cpumask_t. Make sure the user
60 does not request to set a bit beyond that. */
61 for (size_t cnt = __kernel_cpumask_size; cnt < cpusetsize; ++cnt)
62 if (((char *) cpuset)[cnt] != '\0')
63 {
64 /* Found a nonzero byte. This means the user request cannot be
65 fulfilled. */
66 __set_errno (EINVAL);
(gdb) p __kernel_cpumask_size
$1 = 32
(gdb) p cpusetsize
$2 = <value optimized out>
Looking at sources of glibc-2.5 (RHEL5.10) and glibc-2.17 (RHEL7), code leading
up to this place looks identical. So, I agree with your findings. I see 2
options:
1) find cpuset size in same way as glibc does it
2) call syscall directly (and don't use glibc wrapper):
