Merge branch 'benchmark-runner'
Andrii Nakryiko says:
====================
Add generic benchmark runner framework which simplifies writing various
performance benchmarks in a consistent fashion. This framework will be used
in follow up patches to test performance of perf buffer and ring buffer as
well.
Patch #1 extracts parse_num_list to be re-used between test_progs and bench.
Patch #2 adds generic runner implementation and atomic counter benchmarks to
validate benchmark runner's behavior.
Patch #3 implements test_overhead benchmark as part of bench runner. It also
add fmod_ret BPF program type to a set of benchmarks.
Patch #4 tests faster alternatives to set_task_comm() approach, tested in
test_overhead, in search for minimal-overhead way to trigger BPF program
execution from user-space on demand.
v2->v3:
- added --prod-affinity and --cons-affinity (Yonghong);
- removed ringbuf-related options leftovers (Yonghong);
- added more benchmarking results for test_overhead performance discrepancies;
v1->v2:
- moved benchmarks into benchs/ subdir (John);
- added benchmark "suite" scripts (John);
- few small clean ups, change defaults, etc.
