Pull request overview
This PR adds CPU affinity binding for the epoll_loop thread to prevent it from being scheduled on CPU0, which typically handles interrupts and critical system tasks. The implementation determines the last available CPU using sched_getaffinity and binds the event monitor thread to that CPU using pthread_setaffinity_np.
Changes:
- Added
_GNU_SOURCEdefinition andsched.hinclude for CPU affinity functions - Implemented CPU affinity logic in
initialize_event_monitorto bind the epoll_loop thread to the last online CPU - Added logging for CPU affinity operations (success and failure cases)

Currently, the
epoll_loopis created without CPU affinity, whichcan result in it being scheduled on CPU0. Since CPU0 is often handling
interrupts and other critical system tasks (
zone0), this can interferewith system responsiveness.
This PR changes the
initialize_event_monitorto bindepoll_looptothe last online CPU available to the process. The thread affinity is
set using
pthread_setaffinity_npafter determining the last CPU fromsched_getaffinity.
