Keeping the same buffers along with copying the same size of data into
the same location means that the first routine is typically the
slowest since it has to bear the cost of fetching data into to cache.
Reallocating buffers stabilizes numbers by a bit.
* benchtests/bench-string.h (realloc_bufs): New function.
(test_init): Call it.
* benchtests/bench-memset-large.c (do_test): Likewise.
* benchtests/bench-memset.c (do_test): Likewise.
Make the memset benchmarks (bench-memset and bench-memset-large) print
their output in JSON so that they can be evaluated using the
compare_strings.py script.
* benchtests/bench-memset-large.c: Print output in JSON
format.
* benchtests/bench-memset.c: Likewise.
The test run is unnecessary and interferes with the benchmark. The
tests are done during make check, so they're unnecessary here.
* benchtests/bench-memccpy.c (do_one_test): Remove checks.
* benchtests/bench-memchr.c (do_one_test): Likewise.
* benchtests/bench-memcpy-large.c (do_one_test): Likewise.
* benchtests/bench-memcpy.c (do_one_test): Likewise.
* benchtests/bench-memmove-large.c (do_one_test): Likewise.
* benchtests/bench-memmove.c (do_one_test): Likewise.
* benchtests/bench-memset-large.c (do_one_test): Likewise.
* benchtests/bench-memset.c (do_one_test): Likewise.
* benchtests/bench-string.h (test_init): Remove memsets.
