selftests: Add benchmark for syscall user dispatch
This is the patch I'm using to evaluate the impact syscall user dispatch has on native syscall (syscalls not redirected to userspace) when enabled for the process and submiting syscalls though the unblocked dispatch selector. It works by running a step to define a baseline of the cost of executing sysinfo, then enabling SUD, and rerunning that step. On my test machine, an AMD Ryzen 5 1500X, I have the following results with the latest version of syscall user dispatch patches. root@olga:~# syscall_user_dispatch/sud_benchmark Calibrating test set to last ~5 seconds... test iterations = 37500000 Avg syscall time 134ns. Caught sys_ff00 trapped_call_count 1, native_call_count 0. Avg syscall time 147ns. Interception overhead: 9.7% (+13ns).
