Subject: [PATCH bpf] libbpf: count present CPUs, not theoretically possible
Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2019 23:30:33 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190928063033.1674094-1-andriin@fb.com> (raw)

This patch switches libbpf_num_possible_cpus() from using possible CPU
set to present CPU set. This fixes issues with incorrect auto-sizing of
PERF_EVENT_ARRAY map on HOTPLUG-enabled systems.

On HOTPLUG enabled systems, /sys/devices/system/cpu/possible is going to
be a set of any representable (i.e., potentially possible) CPU, which is
normally way higher than real amount of CPUs (e.g., 0-127 on VM I've
tested on, while there were just two CPU cores actually present).
/sys/devices/system/cpu/present, on the other hand, will only contain
CPUs that are physically present in the system (even if not online yet),
which is what we really want, especially when creating per-CPU maps or
perf events.

On systems with HOTPLUG disabled, present and possible are identical, so
there is no change of behavior there.
