Little bug in cyclictest

[Rachid Koucha <rachid.koucha@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

First of all, many thanks for such useful tools.

In the source code of cyclictest, I can see a mistake concerning the
error checking of pthread_setaffinity_np():

Upon error, pthread functions return an error ant not -1. So, the
following code:

    if (par->cpu != -1) {
        CPU_ZERO(&mask);
        CPU_SET(par->cpu, &mask);
        thread = pthread_self();
        if (pthread_setaffinity_np(thread, sizeof(mask), &mask) == -1)
            warn("Could not set CPU affinity to CPU #%d\n",
                 par->cpu);
    }

should be fixed as follow:

int status;

    if (par->cpu != -1) {
        CPU_ZERO(&mask);
        CPU_SET(par->cpu, &mask);
        thread = pthread_self();
        if ((status = pthread_setaffinity_np(thread, sizeof(mask), &mask)) != 0)
            warn("Could not set CPU affinity to CPU #%d: %s (%d)\n",                  par->cpu, strerror(status), status);
    }
