[PATCH 7/7] perf/bench-futex, requeue: Add --pi parameter

From: Davidlohr Bueso
Date: Mon Aug 09 2021 - 00:33:40 EST


This extends the program to measure WAIT_REQUEUE_PI+CMP_REQUEUE_PI
pairs, which are the underlying machinery behind priority-inheritance
aware condition variables. The defaults are the same as with the regular
non-pi version, requeueing one task at a time, with the exception that
PI will always wakeup the first waiter.
