[RFC][PATCH 02/10] Task watchers v2 Benchmark

[Matt Helsley <matthltc@us.ibm.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: task-watchers-benchmark --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4476 bytes --]

This optional patch adds a fork/exit rate measurement facility using task
watchers. It is intended to be a tool for measuring the impact of task watchers
on fork and exit-heavy workloads.
