[PATCH] Remove CPU mask size detection from setaffinity

[Florian Weimer <fweimer at redhat dot com>]

The code looks quite broken to me and fails to achieve what it tries to
do, as explained in the commit message.

Subject: [PATCH] Remove CPU set size checking from sched_setaffinity,
 pthread_setaffinity_np
To: libc-alpha@sourceware.org

With current kernel versions, the check does not reliably detect that
unavailable CPUs are requested, for these reasons:

(1) The kernel will silently ignore non-allowed CPUs.

(2) Similarly, CPU bits which lack an online CPU (possible CPUs)
    are ignored.

(3) The existing probing code assumes that the CPU mask size is a
    power of two and at least 1024.  Neither it has to be a power
    of two, nor is the minimum possible value 1024, so the value
    determined is often too large, resulting in incorrect false
    negatives.

The kernel will still return EINVAL if no CPU in the requested set
remains which can run the current thread after the affinity change.

Applications which care about the exact affinity mask will have to query
it using sched_getaffinity after setting it.
