Now trying to fix this:

  26     7.89 debian:9                      : FAIL gcc version 6.3.0 20170516 (Debian 6.3.0-18+deb9u1)
    bench/numa.c: In function 'alloc_data':
    bench/numa.c:359:6: error: 'orig_mask' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
      ret = sched_setaffinity(0, size, mask);
      ~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    bench/numa.c:409:13: note: 'orig_mask' was declared here
      cpu_set_t *orig_mask;
                 ^~~~~~~~~
    cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
    /git/perf-5.18.0-rc1/tools/build/Makefile.build:139: recipe for target 'bench' failed
    make[3]: *** [bench] Error 2


Happened in several distros.
