Willy Tarreau 7764a57d32 BUG/MEDIUM: threads: cpu-map designating a single thread/process are ignored
Since commit 81492c989 ("MINOR: threads: flatten the per-thread cpu-map"),
we don't keep the proc*thread matrix anymore to represent the full binding
possibilities, but only the proc and thread ones. The problem is that the
per-process binding is not the same for each thread and for the process,
and the proc[] array was assumed to store the per-proc first thread value
when doing this change. Worse, the logic present there tries to deal with
thread ranges and process ranges in a way which automatically exclused the
other possibility (since ranges cannot be used on both) but as such fails
to apply changes if neither the process nor the thread is expressed as a
range.

The real problem comes from the fact that specifying cpu-map 1/1 doesn't
yet reveal if the per-process mask or the per-thread mask needs to be
updated. In practice it's the thread one but then the current storage
doesn't allow to store the binding of the first thread of each other
process in nbproc>1 configurations.

When removing the proc*thread matrix, what ought to have been kept was
both the thread column for process 1 and the process line for threads 1,
but instead only the thread column was kept. This patch reintroduces the
storage of the configuration for the first thread of each process so that
it is again possible to store either the per-thread or per-process
configuration.

As a partial workaround for existing configurations, it is possible to
systematically indicate at least two processes or two threads at once
and map them by pairs or more so that at least two values are present
in the range. E.g :

  # set processes 1-4 to cpus 0-3 :

     cpu-map auto:1-4/1 0 1 2 3
  # or:
     cpu-map 1-2/1 0 1
     cpu-map 2-3/1 2 3

  # set threads 1-4 to cpus 0-3 :

     cpu-map auto:1/1-4 0 1 2 3
  # or :
     cpu-map 1/1-2 0 1
     cpu-map 3/3-4 2 3

This fix must be backported to 2.0.

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for
ease of use.

Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for :

  - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
  - BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use
  - LICENSE for the project's license
  - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions

The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory :

  - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy
