This is the first public release. Anyone who was using version 0.57 or earlier should upgrade.
PSET - Processor Sets for the Linux kernel http://isunix.it.ilstu.edu/~thockin/pset/
Announcing pset/sysmp for Linux/SMP !! -------------------------------------------------------- The goal of this project is to make a source compatible and functionally equivalent version of pset (as defined by SGI - partially removed from their IRIX 6.4 kernel) for Linux. This enables users to determine which processor or set of processors a process may run on. Possible uses include forcing threads to seperate processors, timings, security (a `root' only CPU?) and probably more.
It is focused around the syscall sysmp(). Some documentation (leeched from SGI's) has been included. It still needs a fair bit of work, but it should be functional at this stage.
IMPORTANT --------- Anyone who downloaded the preliminary version made available in the last few days, PLEASE get the latest. All kernel patches included have been changed.
DISCLAIMER ---------- All standard disclaimers, blah blah blah. This is not guaranteed to be useful, or to even work. There is no warrantee, not even that of fitness for a purpose. For all I know, your system will blow up. It hasn't happened yet, but it could. It's not my fault.
