perf bench: Add futex-wake microbenchmark
Block a bunch of threads on a futex and wake them up, N at a time.
This program is particularly useful to measure the latency of nthread
wakeups in non-error situations: all waiters are queued and all wake
calls wakeup one or more tasks.
An example run:
$ perf bench futex wake -t 512 -r 100
Run summary [PID 27823]: blocking on 512 threads (at futex 0x7e10d4), waking up 1 at a time.
[Run 1]: Wokeup 512 of 512 threads in 6.0080 ms
[Run 2]: Wokeup 512 of 512 threads in 5.2280 ms
[Run 3]: Wokeup 512 of 512 threads in 4.8300 ms
...
[Run 100]: Wokeup 512 of 512 threads in 5.0100 ms
Wokeup 512 of 512 threads in 5.0109 ms (+-2.25%)
