.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Fn _lwp_ctl
|
|
prepares per-LWP communication area for the calling LWP,
|
|
and maps it into the calling process' address space.
|
|
It takes the following arguments.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width features
|
|
.It Fa features
|
|
The bitwise-OR of the following flags.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width LWPCTL_FEATURE_CURCPU
|
|

|
Request
|

|
|
.It Fa address
|
|
The address to store a pointer to
|
|
.Vt lwpctl
|
|
structure for the calling LWP.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The per-LWP communication area is described by an
|
|
.Vt lwpctl
|
|
structure.
|
|
It has following members, depending on
|
|
.Fa features .
|
|
.Bl -tag -width int_lc_curcpu
|
|
.It Vt int lc_curcpu
|
|
The integral identifier of the CPU on which the LWP is running,
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv LWPCTL_CPU_NONE
|
|
when the LWP is not running on any CPU.
|
|
It's updated by the kernel and should be considered as read-only for
|
|
userland.
|
|
It's available only if requested with the
|
|
.Dv LWPCTL_FEATURE_CURCPU
|
|
flag.
|
|
.It Vt int lc_pctr
|
|
The integer which is incremented on every context switches to the LWP.
|
|
It can be used to detect preemption of the LWP.
|
|
(thus its name "preemption counter".)
|
|
It's updated by the kernel and should be considered as read-only for
|
|
userland.
|
|
It's available only if requested with the
|
