Subject[PATCH 2/3] perf bench futex: Add --affine-wakers option to wake-parallel
Date
From: James Yang <james.yang@arm.com>

The waker threads' processor affinity is not specified, so
the result has run-to-run variability as the scheduler
decides on which CPUs they are to run. So we add a
-W/--affine-wakers flag to stripe the affinity of the
waker threads across the online CPUs instead of having
the scheduler place them.
