[RFC PATCH 2/3] rseq: extend struct rseq with per thread group vcpu id

From: Mathieu Desnoyers
Date: Tue Feb 01 2022 - 14:26:29 EST


If a thread group has fewer threads than cores, or is limited to run on
few cores concurrently through sched affinity or cgroup cpusets, the
virtual cpu ids will be values close to 0, thus allowing efficient use
of user-space memory for per-cpu data structures.
