This new benchmark finds the total time that is taken to open, mmap,
enable, disable, munmap, close an evlist (time taken for new,
create_maps, config, delete is not counted in).
The evlist can be configured as in perf-record using the
-a,-C,-e,-u,--per-thread,-t,-p options.
The events can be duplicated in the evlist to quickly test performance
with many events using the -n options.
Furthermore, also the number of iterations used to calculate the
statistics is customizable.
Examples:
- Open one dummy event system-wide:
$ sudo ./perf bench internals evlist-open-close
Number of cpus: 4
Number of threads: 1
Number of events: 1 (4 fds)
Number of iterations: 100
Average open-close took: 613.870 usec (+- 32.852 usec)
- Open the group '{cs,cycles}' on CPU 0
$ sudo ./perf bench internals evlist-open-close -e '{cs,cycles}' -C 0
Number of cpus: 1
Number of threads: 1
Number of events: 2 (2 fds)
Number of iterations: 100
Average open-close took: 8503.220 usec (+- 252.652 usec)
- Open 10 'cycles' events for user 0, calculate average over 100 runs
$ sudo ./perf bench internals evlist-open-close -e cycles -n 10 -u 0 -i 100
Number of cpus: 4
Number of threads: 328
Number of events: 10 (13120 fds)
Number of iterations: 100
Average open-close took: 180043.140 usec (+- 2295.889 usec)
Committer notes:
Replaced a deprecated bzero() call with designated initialized zeroing.
Added some missing evlist allocation checks, one noted by Riccardo on
the mailing list.
Minor cosmetic changes (sent in private).

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 Restructured Text 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.
