Subject: [PATCH RFC] sysfs/cpu: add attributes for count of cpus and last
cpu index
Surprisingly there is no straight way to get number of processors.
Sysfs attributes /sys/devices/system/cpu/online, "present" and "possible"
shows cpus bitmap as comma-separated list of numbers and ranges. This format
is human-freindly but it's hard to parse and unusable for scripts.
This patchs adds new attributes into /sys/devices/system/cpu/
nr_online, nr_present, nr_possible, last_online, last_present, last_possible.
nr_* shows count of cpus as plain decimal number.
last_* shows highest index, it might not equal to NR-1 if bitmap is sparse.
This might be useful for preallocating arrays for ranges of cpu indexes.

Currently GNU C Library does weird things in the implementation of get_nprocs()
and get_nprocs_conf() (sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN / _SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF)).
get_nprocs() parses "/sys/devices/system/cpu/online", counts lines started with
"cpu" in "/proc/stat" and even parses "/proc/cpuinfo".
And because all this is expensive it caches result for one second.
get_nprocs_conf() counts subdirs in /sys/devices/system/cpu named "cpu*"
It also parses "/proc/cpuinfo" on alpha and sparc. This function returns
count of present CPUs, probably it should return number of possible CPUs
otherwise userspace isn't able to handle cpu-hotplug.
This should be common situation for virtual-machines like XEN or KVM.
If nothing works well both functions return 1. They cannot report error.
For example hotspot JVM uses sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF) to detect
UP machine where it can drop 'lock' prefix in atomic operations.
If sysfs and proc aren't available it crashes or hangs inside GC =)
[ http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/hotspot/file/87ee5ee27509/src/os/linux/vm/os_linux.cpp#l291 ]
Other user which I've found is userspace-RCU. It uses per-cpu arrays indexed by
getcpu() and uses sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF) - 1 as last possible cpu.
So this doesn't work for sparse bitmap, also I'm not sure about cpu-hotplug.
