            Bug ID: 278703
           Summary: Forking on 13.3 restricting to same CPU core
           Product: Base System
           Version: 13.3-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: threads
          Assignee: threads@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: cbl@cbl.us

We have an in-house php script that processes images. Been running it for
years since FreeBSD 9.x or 10.x at least. It forks itself a number of times=
 to
increase the amount of images we can process per second. Sounds normal, rig=
ht?=20=20

On FreeBSD 13.2 we've been running great, different CPU cores leveraged per
fork. Now when upgrading to 13.3 or 14.0, the php forked processes all end =
up
leveraging the SAME CPU core, and that slows us waaay down as we're unable =
to
leverage all the other cores of the server.=20

I've tried a 13.2 userland, and temp booted the 13.3 kernel and the issue d=
oes
NOT occur. This sort of tells me the scheduler is fine. However, when using=
 a
13.3 userland AND a corresponding 13.3 kernel, the issues DOES occur and we=
're
only able to use a single core.=20=20

Same with a fresh install of 14.0 userland/kernel on a totally separate box.

We're seeing this issue on multiple servers with 13.3 and 14.0 using php82 =
and
php81.

Leveraging the pkg php82 binaries from 13.2 land on the 13.3 userland/kerne=
l or
the 13.3 pkg php82 does not matter, both show the same issue.=20

Something in the userland/libraries in 13.3 apparently restricts the forked
php processes from leveraging any additional cpu cores.=20=20

Also note, I read that LLVM was upgraded from v14.x to v17.x in 13.3-RELEAS=
E. I
installed llvm14 from pkg and recompiled from source php82 and php-extensio=
ns
using llvm14, and still no joy.=20

Any ideas where/what/how/why?
