Subject: [RFC PATCH 01/10] perf workqueue: threadpool creation and destruction
The workqueue library is made up by two components:
- threadpool: handles the lifetime of the threads
- workqueue: handles work distribution among the threads
This first patch introduces the threadpool, starting from its creation
and destruction functions.
Thread management is based on the prototype from Alexey:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1625227739.git.alexey.v.bayduraev@linux.intel.com/
Each thread in the threadpool executes the same function (aka task)
with a different argument tidx.
Threads use a pair of pipes to communicate with the main process.
The threadpool is static (all threads will be spawned at the same time).
Future work could include making it resizable and adding affinity support
(as in Alexey prototype).
