Running ht_affinity test fails:
smt_smp_affinity 0 TINFO : Set affinity through system call
smt_smp_affinity 0 TINFO : Set test process affinity.
mask: 1
smt_smp_affinity 0 TINFO : ...Error
...
smt_smp_affinity 0 TINFO : Set test process affinity.
mask: c0000000
smt_smp_affinity 0 TINFO : ...Error
smt_smp_affinity 3 TFAIL : ht_affinity.c:240: System call setaffinity() is error.
The type of cpumask pointer used in set_affinity() is unsigned long, but
ht_affinity used a unsigned int pointer. When kernel copy cpumask from
user-space pointer, the high 32bit of cpumask is a random value. So the
process can't be bind to the cpu specified by users.
After converting the cpumask from unsigned int to unsigned long, ht_affinity
test succeeds:
smt_smp_affinity 0 TINFO : Set affinity through system call
smt_smp_affinity 0 TINFO : Set test process affinity.
mask: 1
smt_smp_affinity 0 TINFO : ...OK
...
smt_smp_affinity 0 TINFO : Set test process affinity.
mask: c0000000
smt_smp_affinity 0 TINFO : ...OK
smt_smp_affinity 3 TPASS : System call setaffinity() is OK.
