The kernel perf subsystem has to IPI to the target CPU for many operations. On systems with many CPUs and when managing many events the overhead can be dominated by lots of IPIs. An alternative is to set up CPU affinity in the perf tool, then set up all the events for that CPU, and then move on to the next CPU. Add some affinity management infrastructure to enable such a model. Used in followon patches. Committer notes: Use zfree() in some places, add missing stdbool.h header, some minor coding style changes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
