time unit in bench-skeleton

[Victor Rodriguez]

Hi

I am trying to port the bench test to a most stable and usable
platform like https://openbenchmarking.org/ in order to give others
the capability to measure the performance of new glibc releases

I am trying to understand the output of bench.out:

  "ffsll": {
   "": {
    "duration": 2.3834e+10,
    "iterations": 5.5869e+09,
    "max": 54.589,
    "min": 4.246,
    "mean": 4.26605
   }

duration according to benchtests/bench-timing.h

 42 /* Measure the resolution of the clock so we can scale the number of
 43    benchmark iterations by this value.  */
 44 # define TIMING_INIT(res) \
 45 ({                                        \
 46   struct timespec start;                              \
 47   clock_getres (CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, &start);                \
 48   (res) = start.tv_nsec;                          \
 49 })

is in nanoseconds right?

I am planign to parse the present the mean value , acording to:

118       json_attr_double (&json_ctx, "duration", d_total_s);
119       json_attr_double (&json_ctx, "iterations", d_total_i);
120       json_attr_double (&json_ctx, "max", max / d_iters);
121       json_attr_double (&json_ctx, "min", min / d_iters);
122       json_attr_double (&json_ctx, "mean", d_total_s / d_total_i);

seems to me the fairest comparison

Any feedback is more than welcome
