The 'perf bench futex' testcase fails on systems with more than 1K CPUs. Testcase: perf bench futex all Failure snippet: <<>>Running futex/hash benchmark... perf: pthread_create: No such file or directory <<>> All the futex benchmarks (ie hash, lock-api, requeue, wake, wake-parallel), pthread_create is invoked in respective bench_futex_* function. Though the logs shows direct failure from pthread_create, strace logs showed that 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 futex benchmarks to use CPU_ALLOC to allocate cpumask, CPU_ALLOC_SIZE for size, and CPU_SET_S to set the mask.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
