[PATCH v2] Use HP_TIMING for benchmarks if available

[Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh at redhat dot com>]

Hi,

Here's an updated patch to use HP_TIMING to measure performance in
benchmarks.  clock_gettime is still kept as a fallback when
!HP_TIMING_AVAIL.  Additionally, I've also added support to override
HP_TIMING to use clock_gettime by executing:

make USE_CLOCK_GETTIME=1 bench

One would need a 'make bench-clean' to ensure that the sources are
rebuilt whenever one needs to switch between clock_gettime and
HP_TIMING.

Siddhesh

	* benchtests/Makefile (CPPFLAGS-nonlib): Add
	-DUSE_CLOCK_GETTIME if USE_CLOCK_GETTIME is defined.
	(bench-deps): Add bench-timing.h.
	* benchtests-bench-skeleton.c: Include bench-timing.h.
	(main): Use TIMING_* macros instead of clock_gettime.
	* benchtests/bench-timing.h: New file.
