 throughput ver. 0.1.0

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to push a new tool upstream. I'd like to hear back from you
what the best practice is to get the job done.

Thanks,
Luming

Hi,

I'd like to know if the patch looks good for linux-next to find its
way upstream in 3.6.

Thanks and regards,
Luming

Hello akpm,

I'd like to push the patch to upstream, but I'm not sure if jcm has
extra bandwidth although he is also interested in having the tool
upstream..So I'd like ping you to check if there is any chance to
queue it up in your tree first.I will enhance it further after it's
upstream.

Thanks,
Luming

Hi Jon,

The patch is the fist step to test some basic hardware functions like
TSC to help people understand if there is any hardware latency as well as
throughput problem exposed on bare metal or left behind by BIOS or
interfered by SM. Currently the patch tests hardware features
(tsc,freq, and rdrandom whiich is new instruction to get random
number) in stop_machine context. I will add more after the first step
get merged for those guys who want to directly play with new hardware
functions.

I suppose I can add your signed-off-by as the code is derived from your
hwlat_dector.

I'm also reuqesting if you are going to queue it up somewhere that can
be pulled into 3.5.

Of cause, I will update the patch based upon any comments that you
think must be fixed for 3.5 merge.

Thanks,
Luming
