The perf benchmark for collections: numa hits failure in system configuration with CPU's more than 1024. These benchmarks uses "sched_getaffinity" and "sched_setaffinity" in the code to work with affinity.
Example snippet from numa benchmark: <<>> perf: bench/numa.c:302: bind_to_node: Assertion `!(ret)' failed. Aborted (core dumped) <<>> bind_to_node function uses "sched_getaffinity" to save the cpumask. This fails with EINVAL 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 ie, use CPU_ALLOC to allocate cpumask, CPU_ALLOC_SIZE for size, CPU_SET_S to set mask bit. Fix all the relevant places in the code to use mask size which is large enough to represent number of possible CPU's in the system. This patchset also address a fix for parse_setup_cpu_list function in numa bench to check if input CPU is online before binding task to that CPU. This is to fix failures where, though CPU number is within max CPU, it could happen that CPU is offline. Here, sched_setaffinity will result in failure when using cpumask having that cpu bit set in the mask. Patch 1 address fix for parse_setup_cpu_list to check if CPU used to bind task is online.
