Virtual Machine running on VMWare workstation 9.2
os : RHEL 5.8
RAM : 2.5GB
Swap : 2.6gb
CPU : 1 virtual CPU
Surprizingly I couldn't find much from googling on What exactly does Kernel parameters do ?
I was under the impression that kernel parameters just set the limits/maximum for a certain resources in the server.
To install Oracle RDBMS in my Linux VM, i set /etc/sysctl.conf as shown below . I found these settings from google.
I restarted the VM after after editing /etc/sysctl.conf like above. But the Linux VM was hanging at startup. It took around 1 hour for the VM to actually come up and it was very slow. So, i reverted /etc/sysctl.conf to the original file.
Why was the VM hanging at startup ?
Has it got anything to do with the kernel.shmmax value? But I am just setting a maximum possible value here. Right ?
Good Day

cpu_get_current
cpu_get_current(3) Library Functions Manual cpu_get_current(3)NAME
cpu_get_current - Return the caller's current CPU ID (libc library)
SYNOPSIS
#include <cpuset.h>
cpuid_t cpu_get_current(
void );
PARAMETERS
The cpu_get_current() function has no parameters.
DESCRIPTION
The cpu_get_current() function fetches the ID of the CPU on which the caller is executing.
NOTES
This function is similar to the following call:
getsysinfo(GSI_CPU_CURRENT, &cpuid, ...);
However, cpu_get_current() returns the CPU identifier directly (as type cpuid_t), whereas the getsysinfo() call stores the identifier into
a buffer (as type long) whose address is passed to the function.
RESTRICTIONS
As is true for many system information queries, the data returned by cpu_get_current() may be stale by the time it is returned to or used
by the caller. In other words, a context switch to a different CPU can occur after the "current CPU" has been fetched by the application.
RETURN VALUES
The cpu_get_current() function returns the CPU ID of the processor where the caller is executing. This function always completes success-
fully.
ERRORS
None.
