perf tools: Cast (struct timeval).tv_sec when printing

2021-03-06T19:54:24Z

The musl-libc [1] defines (struct timeval).tv_sec as a 'long long' for arm and other architectures. The default build having a '-Wformat' flag, not casting the field when printing prevents from building perf. This patch casts the (struct timeval).tv_sec fields to the expected format.

perf bench: Add basic syscall benchmark

2020-07-28T11:50:48Z

The usefulness of having a standard way of testing syscall performance has come up from time to time[0]. Furthermore, some of our testing machinery (such as 'mmtests') already makes use of a simplified version of the microbenchmark. This patch mainly takes the same idea to measure syscall throughput compatible with 'perf-bench' via getppid(2), yet without any of the additional template stuff from Ingo's version (based on numa.c). The code is identical to what mmtests uses.
