This commit adds the execve syscall benchmark, more syscall
benchmarks can be added in the future.
Here are the test results:
[loongson@linux perf]$ ./perf bench syscall
# List of available benchmarks for collection 'syscall':
basic: Benchmark for basic getppid(2) calls
close: Benchmark for close(2) calls
execve: Benchmark for execve(2) calls
all: Run all syscall benchmarks
[loongson@linux perf]$ ./perf bench syscall execve
# Running 'syscall/execve' benchmark:
# Executed 10000 execve() calls
Total time: 4.827 [sec]
482.761800 usecs/op
2071 ops/sec
[loongson@linux perf]$ ./perf bench syscall all
# Running syscall/basic benchmark...
# Executed 10000000 getppid() calls
