[RFC PATCH v2 10/11] rseq: extend struct rseq with per memory space vcpu id

From: Mathieu Desnoyers
Date: Fri Feb 18 2022 - 16:16:03 EST


If a memory space 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.
