Light-weight processes (LWPs) can be bound to a particular processor for execution. These events can occur with some frequency on a system, so their appearance is not necessarily a concern. However, tracking these activities is useful to watch for processes that may use this mechanism to "signal" each other, and to monitor denial of service problems that can occur, possibly with malicious intent. The events are as follows:
Processor binding events
| Event | Description | Manual page | Object audit |
|---|---|---|---|
| lwp_bind | bind LWP to processor | processor_bind(2), processor_exbind(2) | N |
| lwp_unbind | unbind LWP | processor_bind(2), processor_exbind(2) | N |
