When I try to run "run.sh", I get the following linker error
------

mfrw@kp:~/kp/tools/testing/selftests/intel_pstate$ ./run.sh 
/tmp/ccVLsFVk.o: In function `main':
aperf.c:(.text+0x12e): undefined reference to `CPU_ZERO'
aperf.c:(.text+0x14a): undefined reference to `CPU_SET'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Problem compiling aperf.c.

------

The root cause of the problem is, we haven't defined a macro
_GNU_SOURCE, which is necessary for CPU_ZERO, CPU_SET.
After adding the appropriate macro, it compiles without
any error.
