From 3b03c4b2bcbcf5a913a3127d2b45283540c505c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dimitri Staessens Date: Mon, 2 Apr 2018 08:19:54 +0200 Subject: ipcpd: Enable locking threads to a CPU core This adds a function that locks a thread to a random core. This greatly improves performance on multi-cpu systems. There is no portable way to do this, this only implements it for GNU/Linux.
