.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn kvm_getmaxcpu
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.Fn kvm_getpcpu
|
||
|
|
functions are used to access the per-CPU data of active processors in the
|
||
|
|
kernel indicated by
|
||
|
|
.Fa kd .
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn kvm_getmaxcpu
|
||
|
|
function returns the maximum number of CPUs supported by the kernel.
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn kvm_getpcpu
|
||
|
|
function returns a buffer holding the per-CPU data for a single CPU.
|
||
|
|
This buffer is described by the
|
||
|
|
.Vt "struct pcpu"
|
||
|
|
type.
|
||
|
|
The caller is responsible for releasing the buffer via a call to
|
||
|
|
.Xr free 3
|
||
|
|
when it is no longer needed.
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.Fa cpu
|
||
|
|
is not active, then
|
||
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
||
|
|
is returned instead.
|
||
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
|
On success, the
|
||
|
|
.Fn kvm_getmaxcpu
|
||
|
|
function returns the maximum number of CPUs supported by the kernel.
|
||
|
|
If an error occurs,
|
||
|
|
it returns -1 instead.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
On success, the
|
||
|
|
.Fn kvm_getpcpu
|
||
|
|
function returns a pointer to an allocated buffer or
|
||
|
|
.Dv NULL.
|
||
|
|
If an error occurs,
|
||
|
|
it returns -1 instead.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
If either function encounters an error,
|
||
|
|
then an error message may be retrieved via
|
||
|
|
.Xr kvm_geterr 3.
