Add a new 'init' directive that specifies the name of the function to
call to do function-specific initialization. This is useful for
benchmarks that need to do a one-time initialization before the
functions are executed.

Add a small library to print JSON values and use it to improve the
readability of the benchmark output and the readability of the
benchmark code.
ChangeLog:
2014-04-11 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* benchtests/Makefile (extra-objs): Add json-lib.o.
(bench-func): Tidy up JSON output.
* benchtests/bench-skeleton.c: Include json-lib.h.
(main): Use JSON library functions to do output of
benchmark results.
* benchtests/bench-timing-type.c (main): Output the
timing type simply, leaving formatting to the user.
* benchtests/json-lib.c: New file.
* benchtests/json-lib.h: Likewise.

This patch adds an option to get detailed benchmark output for
functions. Invoking the benchmark with 'make DETAILED=1 bench' causes
each benchmark program to store a mean execution time for each input
it works on. This is useful to give a more comprehensive picture of
performance of functions compared to just the single mean figure.

This patch changes the output format of the main benchmark output file
(bench.out) to an extensible format. I chose JSON over XML because in
addition to being extensible, it is also not too verbose.
Additionally it has good support in python.
The significant change I have made in terms of functionality is to put
timing information as an attribute in JSON instead of a string and to
do that, there is a separate program that prints out a JSON snippet
mentioning the type of timing (hp_timing or clock_gettime). The mean
timing has now changed from iterations per unit to actual timing per
iteration.

The TIMING_INIT macro currently sets the number of loop iterations
to 1000, which limits usefulness. Make the argument a clock
resolution value and multiply by 1000 in bench-skeleton.c instead
to allow easier reuse.
ChangeLog:
2013-09-11 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* benchtests/bench-timing.h (TIMING_INIT): Rename ITERS
parameter to RES. Remove hardcoded 1000 value.
* benchtests/bench-skeleton.c (main): Pass RES parameter
to TIMING_INIT and multiply result by 1000.

HP_TIMING uses native timestamping instructions if available, thus
greatly reducing the overhead of recording start and end times for
function calls. For architectures that don't have HP_TIMING
available, we fall back to the clock_gettime bits. One may also
override this by invoking the benchmark as follows:
make USE_CLOCK_GETTIME=1 bench
and get the benchmark results using clock_gettime. One has to do
`make bench-clean` to ensure that the benchmark programs are rebuilt.

A benchmark could be skewed by CPU initialy working on minimal
frequency and speeding up later. We first run code in loop
to partialy fix this issue.

Some math functions have distinct performance characteristics in
specific domains of inputs, where some inputs return via a fast path
while other inputs require multiple precision calculations, that too
at different precision levels. The way to implement different domains
was to have a separate source file and benchmark definition, resulting
in separate programs.
This clutters up the benchmark, so this change allows these domains to
be consolidated into the same input file. To do this, the input file
format is now enhanced to allow comments with a preceding # and
directives with two # at the begining of a line. A directive that
looks like:
tells the benchmark generation script that what follows is a different
domain of inputs. The value of the 'name' directive (in this case,
foo) is used in the output. The two input domains are then executed
sequentially and their results collated separately. with the above
directive, there would be two lines in the result that look like:
func(): ....
func(foo): ...

The idea to run benchmarks for a constant number of iterations is
problematic. While the benchmarks may run for 10 seconds on x86_64,
they could run for about 30 seconds on powerpc and worse, over 3
minutes on arm. Besides that, adding a new benchmark is cumbersome
since one needs to find out the number of iterations needed for a
sufficient runtime.
A better idea would be to run each benchmark for a specific amount of
time. This patch does just that. The run time defaults to 10 seconds
and it is configurable at command line:
make BENCH_DURATION=5 bench
