Per-processor data which is used by RTEMS itself is contained in the + `Per_CPU_Control` structure. The application configuration via + `<rtems/confdefs.h>` creates a table of these structures + (`_Per_CPU_Information[]`). The table is dimensioned according to the count + of configured processors + (:ref:`CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_PROCESSORS <CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_PROCESSORS>`). + +2. For low level support libraries an API for statically allocated + per-processor data is available via + `<rtems/score/percpudata.h> <https://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/cpukit/include/rtems/score/percpudata.h>`_. + This API is not intended for general application use. Please ask on the + development mailing list in case you want to use it. |
