Subject: perf test: Use a test program in 'perf record' tests
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4321ad4ee98b7325d6133e1d5b7fa25bcbdeb57e;p=linux.git

perf test: Use a test program in 'perf record' tests

If the system has cc it could build a test program with two threads
and then use it for more detailed testing.  Also it accepts an option
to run a thread forever to ensure multi-thread runs.

If cc is not found, it falls back to use the default value 'true'.
