Add 2 benchmarks:
1. Performance of thread creation/exiting in presence of breakpoints.
2. Performance of breakpoint modification in presence of threads.
The benchmarks capture use cases that we are interested in:
using inheritable breakpoints in large highly-threaded applications.
The benchmarks show significant slowdown imposed by breakpoints
(even when they don't fire).
Testing on Intel 8173M with 112 HW threads show:
perf bench --repeat=56 breakpoint thread --breakpoints=0 --parallelism=56 --threads=20
78.675000 usecs/op
perf bench --repeat=56 breakpoint thread --breakpoints=4 --parallelism=56 --threads=20
12967.135714 usecs/op
That's 165x slowdown due to presence of the breakpoints.
perf bench --repeat=20000 breakpoint enable --passive=0 --active=0
1.433250 usecs/op
perf bench --repeat=20000 breakpoint enable --passive=224 --active=0
585.318400 usecs/op
perf bench --repeat=20000 breakpoint enable --passive=0 --active=111
635.953000 usecs/op
That's 408x and 444x slowdown due to presence of threads.
Profiles show some overhead in toggle_bp_slot,
but also very high contention:
90.83% breakpoint-thre [kernel.kallsyms] [k] osq_lock
4.69% breakpoint-thre [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mutex_spin_on_owner
2.06% breakpoint-thre [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __reserve_bp_slot
2.04% breakpoint-thre [kernel.kallsyms] [k] toggle_bp_slot
79.01% breakpoint-enab [kernel.kallsyms] [k] smp_call_function_single
9.94% breakpoint-enab [kernel.kallsyms] [k] llist_add_batch
5.70% breakpoint-enab [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
1.84% breakpoint-enab [kernel.kallsyms] [k] event_function_call
1.12% breakpoint-enab [kernel.kallsyms] [k] send_call_function_single_ipi
0.37% breakpoint-enab [kernel.kallsyms] [k] generic_exec_single
0.24% breakpoint-enab [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __perf_event_disable
0.20% breakpoint-enab [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _perf_event_enable
0.18% breakpoint-enab [kernel.kallsyms] [k] toggle_bp_slot

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
