Subject: [PATCH 04/12] perf test: Replace record test workload with thloop

So that it can get rid of requirements for a compiler.

  $ sudo ./perf test -v 92
   92: perf record tests                                               :

  Basic --system-wide mode test
  Basic --system-wide mode test [Success]
  Basic target workload test
