The comparison function cmpworker() violates the C standard's
requirements for qsort() comparison functions, which mandate symmetry
and transitivity:
Symmetry: If x < y, then y > x.
Transitivity: If x < y and y < z, then x < z.
In its current implementation, cmpworker() incorrectly returns 0 when
w1->tid < w2->tid, which breaks both symmetry and transitivity. This
violation causes undefined behavior, potentially leading to issues such
as memory corruption in glibc [1].
Fix the issue by returning -1 when w1->tid < w2->tid, ensuring
compliance with the C standard and preventing undefined behavior.

Perf bench epoll fails as below when attempted to run on
on a powerpc system:
./perf bench epoll wait
Running 'epoll/wait' benchmark:
Run summary [PID 627653]: 79 threads monitoring on 64 file-descriptors for 8 secs.
perf: pthread_create: No such file or directory
In the setup where this perf bench was ran, difference was that
partition had 640 CPU's, but not all CPUs were online. 80 CPUs
were online. While creating threads and using epoll_wait , code
sets the affinity using cpumask. The cpumask size used is 80
which is picked from "nrcpus = perf_cpu_map__nr(cpu)". Here the
benchmark reports fail while setting affinity for cpu number which
is greater than 80 or higher, because it attempts to set a bit
position which is not allocated on the cpumask. Fix this by changing
the size of cpumask to number of possible cpus and not the number
of online cpus.

The 'perf bench epoll' testcase fails on systems with more than 1K CPUs.
Testcase: perf bench epoll all
Result snippet:
<<>>
Run summary [PID 106497]: 1399 threads monitoring on 64 file-descriptors for 8 secs.
perf: pthread_create: No such file or directory
<<>>
In epoll benchmarks (ctl, wait) pthread_create is invoked in do_threads
from respective bench_epoll_* function. Though the logs shows direct
failure from pthread_create, the actual failure is from
"sched_setaffinity" returning EINVAL (invalid argument).
This happens because the default mask size in glibc is 1024. To overcome
this 1024 CPUs mask size limitation of cpu_set_t, change the mask size
using the CPU_*_S macros.
Patch addresses this by fixing all the epoll benchmarks to use CPU_ALLOC
to allocate cpumask, CPU_ALLOC_SIZE for size, and CPU_SET_S to set the
mask.

Prefix those with bench__ and add them to bench/bench.h, so that we can
share those on the tools needing to access those variables from signal
handlers.

This program benchmarks concurrent epoll_wait(2) for file descriptors
that are monitored with with EPOLLIN along various semantics, by a
single epoll instance. Such conditions can be found when using
single/combined or multiple queuing when load balancing.
Each thread has a number of private, nonblocking file descriptors,
referred to as fdmap. A writer thread will constantly be writing to the
fdmaps of all threads, minimizing each threads's chances of epoll_wait
not finding any ready read events and blocking as this is not what we
want to stress. Full details in the start of the C file.
