2016-10-26tests: add atomic_add-benchEmilio G. Cota
With this microbenchmark we can measure the overhead of emulating atomic instructions with a configurable degree of contention. The benchmark spawns $n threads, each performing $o atomic ops (additions) in a loop. Each atomic operation is performed on a different cache line (assuming lines are 64b long) that is randomly selected from a range [0, $r). [ Note: each $foo corresponds to a -foo flag ] Signed-off-by: Emilio G.
