pstat_getlocality(2) pstat_getlocality(2)
NAME [Toc] [Back]
pstat_getlocality(), pstat_getproclocality() - returns system-wide or
per-process information of a ccNUMA system
SYNOPSIS [Toc] [Back]
#include <sys/pstat.h>
int pstat_getlocality(
struct pst_locality *buf, size_t elemsize,
size_t elemcount, int index
);
int pstat_getproclocality(
struct pst_proc_locality *buf, size_t elemsize,
size_t pid, int index
);
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
pstat_getlocality() and pstat_getproclocality() are part of the
general pstat(2) functionality provided to obtain information about
various system contexts.
These calls return information on different parts of a Cache Coherent
Non-Uniform Memory Architecture (ccNUMA) system. pstat_getlocality()
returns system-wide information, while pstat_getproclocality() returns
per-process information. A locality is one "building block" of a
ccNUMA system. If a machine has only one locality, it is considered
to be an UMA (Uniform Memory Architecture) machine. UMA is also a
synonym for Symmetric Multiprocessor (SMP).
These locality building blocks are nearly identical to the concept of
the locality domain (or LDOM) as described in the mpctl(2) manual
page. From that manual page:
A locality domain consists of a related collection of processors,
memory, and peripheral resources that comprise a fundamental
building block of the system. All processors and peripheral
devices in a given locality domain have equal latency to the
memory contained within that locality domain.
There is only one difference between a locality and an LDOM, and that
is the concept of interleaved memory. Interleaved memory is a
hardware-constructed region of physical memory that is created from
the memory of several locality domains. This memory is striped
together with a very fine granularity. As an example, consider a
system with four locality domains 0, 1, 2, and 3. Let's say they all
contribute the same amount of memory to the interleave. The
interleaved memory may look like this (assuming a 64-byte striping):

Memory Address Comes From
-------------- ----------
0 - 63 (bytes) LDOM 0
64 - 127 LDOM 1
128 - 191 LDOM 2
192 - 255 LDOM 3
256 - 319 LDOM 0
etc, etc
Interleaved memory is a good place to put shared objects, the kernel,
and objects that could be accessed from any part of the system. There
will be at most one interleaved locality. Some systems may not have
interleaved memory.
Given the four-LDOM example above, these pstat() calls would return
five localities - one for each LDOM, and one for interleaved memory.
The reason that mpctl(2) does not count interleaved memory as an LDOM
is because mpctl(2) is used for scheduling purposes, and interleaved
memory contains no processors.
Function Descriptions [Toc] [Back]
pstat_getlocality()
Returns system-wide information specific to each locality.
There is one instance of this context for each locality on the
system. For each locality requested, data, up to a maximum of
elemsize bytes, are returned in the struct pst_locality
pointed to by buf. The elemcount parameter specifies the
number of struct pst_locality that are available at buf to be
filled in. The index parameter specifies the starting index
within the context of localities.
The types and field members of the struct pst_locality are as
follows:
pst_locality_flags_t psl_flags
Contains information about the given locality. See the
description of pst_locality_flags_t below for details.
int64_t psl_ldom_id
This is the LDOM id used by mpctl(2) to identify this
locality. For the interleaved locality, this field will
be -1.
int64_t psl_physical_id
A hardware-based number that ties the locality to some
recognizable physically indexable entity. An example of
this is a cell id number.
uint64_t psl_total_pages
The total number of physical pages in this locality.
Hewlett-Packard Company - 2 - HP-UX 11i Version 2: August 2003
pstat_getlocality(2) pstat_getlocality(2)
uint64_t psl_free_pages
The number of free physical pages in this locality at
this moment.
uint64_t psl_cpus
The number of enabled cpus in this locality. This is
irrespective of any processor sets that may be in effect
for those cpus.
psl_flags is a bitfield described by the enumerated type
pst_locality_flags_t . This field describes some of the
properties of the locality. Valid values for
pst_locality_flags_t are the following:
PSL_INTERLEAVED This locality is the interleaved locality.
PSL_LOCAL This locality is not an interleaved
locality. It will map to exactly one
locality domain returned by the mpctl(2)
system call. PSL_LOCAL and
PSL_INTERLEAVED are mutually exclusive.
PSL_FLOATING This locality does not contribute any
physical memory to the interleave.
PSL_FLOATING can only be set if PSL_LOCAL
is also set.
On an UMA system, there will be one locality and PSL_LOCAL
will be set in psl_flags.
pstat_getproclocality()
Returns information specific to a particular process' locality
behavior.
There is one instance of this context for each locality for
each process on the system. For each instance requested,
data, up to a maximum of elemsize bytes, are returned in the
struct pst_proc_locality pointed to by buf. At most one
instance (locality) is returned for each call to
pstat_getproclocality(). The pid parameter specifies the
process id of the process for which locality information is to
be returned. A pid of zero indicates that locality
information for the currently executing process should be
returned. The index parameter specifies the starting index
within the context of localities.
The types and field members of the struct pst_proc_locality
are as follows:
int64_t ppl_ldom_id
This is the LDOM id used by mpctl(2) to identify this
Hewlett-Packard Company - 3 - HP-UX 11i Version 2: August 2003
pstat_getlocality(2) pstat_getlocality(2)
locality. For the interleaved locality, this field will
be -1.
uint64_t ppl_rss_total
The total number of resident pages for this process in
this locality.
uint64_t ppl_rss_shared
The number of shared resident pages for this process in
this locality.
uint64_t ppl_rss_private
The number of private resident pages for this process in
this locality.
uint64_t ppl_rss_weighted
The number of resident pages for this process in this
locality, weighted by the number of processes sharing
each page. Private pages count as one page, and shared
pages count as the page divided by the number of
processes sharing that page.
Notes [Toc] [Back]
These functions only return the wide (64 bit) versions of their
associated structures. In order for narrow (32 bit) applications to
use these interfaces, the flag -D_PSTAT64 must be used at compile
time. These interfaces are available for narrow applications written
in standard C and extended ANSI, and for all wide applications.
RETURN VALUE [Toc] [Back]
pstat_getlocality() and pstat_getproclocality() return the following
values:
n Successful completion. n is the number of instances
returned in buf .
-1 Failure. errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS [Toc] [Back]
Upon failure, errno is set to one of the following values.
[EFAULT] buf points to an invalid address.
[EINVAL] elemsize is less than or equal to zero, or
elemsize is larger than the size of the associated
data structure.
[EINVAL] index is negative.
[ESRCH] for pstat_getproclocality(), the requested pid
could not be found.
