scx_bpf_cpuperf_cap(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to scx_bpf_cpuperf_cap(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, and it's here to do one iconic little thing: query the maximum relative capacity of a CPU. that's the whole assignment. ✨

scx_bpf_cpuperf_cap — query the maximum relative capacity of a CPU.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the signature is literally this, no cap:

__bpf_kfunc u32 scx_bpf_cpuperf_cap (s32 cpu , const struct bpf_prog_aux
       *aux );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cpu — the CPU of interest. this is the CPU you're asking about, bestie. 💅
• aux — the implicit BPF argument to access bpf_prog_aux hidden from BPF progs. it's giving behind-the-scenes access, and it stays hidden from BPF progs. 🙈

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this one returns the maximum relative capacity of cpu in relation to the most performant CPU in the system. the return value is in the range [1, SCX_CPUPERF_ONE]. and if you wanna see the current one, go peek at scx_bpf_cpuperf_cur — that's the cross-ref, iykyk. 💖
