[PATCH v7 04/14] perf test: Add asm pureloop test tool

carsten.haitzler
2022-08-12T12:17:11Z

Add test tool to be driven by further test scripts. This tool is pure
arm64 ASM with no libc usage to ensure it is the same exact
binary/code every time so it can also be re-used for many uses. It
just loops for a given fixed number of loops.
