[PATCH 0/5] gdb.perf/: Add JIT performance test

[Ilya Leoshkevich <iii@linux.ibm.com>]

Hi,

This series implements a JIT performance test as discussed in [1].
Patch 1 is a small fix, patches 2-4 are preparations and patch 5 is
the test itself.

The test can be used as follows:

$ make build-perf -j"$(nproc)" RUNTESTFLAGS=jit.exp
$ make check-perf RUNTESTFLAGS=jit-check.exp GDB_PERFTEST_MODE=run

The results can be converted to gnuplot-friendly format as follows:

$ perl -ne 'if (/:register_times:(\d+) (.+)/) { print "$1 $2\n"; }' \
      <gdb.perf/outputs/jit/pieces/perftest.sum >jit.txt

I've uploaded the results to [2].  They are somewhat different from
those from Andrew, but they still show that [1] is an improvement.
The third result shown on the chart is from [3] - with it I can
pass the 10k JITed objects mark and finally debug CoreCLR JIT with
GDB.  It's still WIP though - the testsuite shows a couple of
failures.

Best regards,
Ilya
