perf bench futex: Support parallel waker threads
The futex-wake benchmark only measures wakeups done within a single
process. While this has value in its own, it does not really generate
any hb->lock contention.
A new benchmark 'wake-parallel' is added, by extending the futex-wake
code such that we can measure parallel waker threads. The program output
shows the avg per-thread latency in order to complete its share of
wakeups:
Run summary [PID 13474]: blocking on 512 threads (at [private] futex 0xa88668), 8 threads waking up 64 at a time.
[Run 1]: Avg per-thread latency (waking 64/512 threads) in 0.6230 ms (+-15.31%)
[Run 2]: Avg per-thread latency (waking 64/512 threads) in 0.5175 ms (+-29.95%)
[Run 3]: Avg per-thread latency (waking 64/512 threads) in 0.7578 ms (+-18.03%)
[Run 4]: Avg per-thread latency (waking 64/512 threads) in 0.8944 ms (+-12.54%)
[Run 5]: Avg per-thread latency (waking 64/512 threads) in 1.1204 ms (+-23.85%)
Avg per-thread latency (waking 64/512 threads) in 0.7826 ms (+-9.91%)
Naturally, different combinations of numbers of blocking and waker
threads will exhibit different information.
