Kuan-Wei Chiu 3fb0f8df1d perf bench: Fix undefined behavior in cmpworker() 
commit 62892e77b8 upstream.

The comparison function cmpworker() violates the C standard's
requirements for qsort() comparison functions, which mandate symmetry
and transitivity:

Symmetry: If x < y, then y > x.
Transitivity: If x < y and y < z, then x < z.

In its current implementation, cmpworker() incorrectly returns 0 when
w1->tid < w2->tid, which breaks both symmetry and transitivity. This
violation causes undefined behavior, potentially leading to issues such
as memory corruption in glibc [1].

Fix the issue by returning -1 when w1->tid < w2->tid, ensuring
compliance with the C standard and preventing undefined behavior.

README 

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 reStructuredText 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.
