I looked in the kernel documentation, and it seems that in order to be limited by cgroups, the application has to create a cgroup and attach to it. The cgroups are in a virtual file system under /sys/fs. They can be seen by cat /etc/mtab The one of interest in the case of compiling is the cpu,cpuset. The kernel makefiles don't create or attach to a cgroup, so that would seem to eliminate it as a consideration. There is also a systemd target for cgroups, but it is supposed to be only for services, which compiling wouldn't be. And, there is also a selinux target for cgroups, but it doesn't seem to apply here. So, cgroups seem like another dead end. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
