[3.12] pythongh-109649: Enhance os.cpu_count() documentation (python#110169)

vstinner · web-flow · commit 5245b97e132a · 2023-10-02T17:47:57.000+02:00
* pythongh-109649: Enhance os.cpu_count() documentation * Doc: Specify that os.cpu_count() counts *logicial* CPUs. * Doc: Specify that os.sched_getaffinity(0) is related to the calling thread. * Fix test_posix.test_sched_getaffinity(): restore the old CPU mask when the test completes! * Restore removed text
