sched_getcpu() is glibc dependent and it can simply return the CPU
ID from the registered rseq information, as Florian Weimer pointed.
In this case, it's pointless to compare the return value from
sched_getcpu() and that fetched from the registered rseq information.

Fix the issue by replacing sched_getcpu() with getcpu(), as Florian
suggested. The comments are modified accordingly.

Note that getcpu was added in glibc 2.29, so perhaps you need to perform
a direct system call?

One more thing: syscall(__NR_getcpu) also has the advantage that it
wouldn't have to be changed again if node IDs become available via rseq
and getcpu is implemented using that.

Thanks,

Thanks, Florian. It makes sense to me to use syscall(__NR_getcpu) in
next revision. Thanks for your quick review :)

+1, and definitely add a comment to prevent future "cleanup".


Yep, I will have something like below in next revision:

    /*
     * We have to perform direct system call for getcpu() because it's not
     * available until glic 2.29.
     */

Thanks,
Gavin
