Thank you. I have a couple of comments on making the error
paths simpler. Please see below.

This could be done in a common error path handling.

Why not move this check before CPU_ALLOC and make this the very first
check in main()?

With this change the other places where CPU_FREE is added right before
exit(1). Something like this:

err_code:
	CPU_FREE(cpu_set);
	exit(code)
