Subject: [PATCH v7 01/16] perf bench mem: Remove repetition around time measurement
Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2025 08:24:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250917152418.4077386-2-ankur.a.arora@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250917152418.4077386-1-ankur.a.arora@oracle.com>

We have two copies of each mem benchmark: one using cycles to
measure time, the second for gettimeofday().

Unify.
