Drop realloc_bufs in favour of making alloc_bufs transparently
reallocate the buffers if it had allocated before. Also consolidate
computation of buffer lengths so that they don't get repeated on every
reallocation.
* benchtests/bench-string.h (buf1_size, buf2_size): New
variables.
(init_sizes): New function.
(test_init): Use it.
(alloc_buf, exit_error): New functions.
(alloc_bufs): Use ALLOC_BUF.
(realloc_bufs): Remove.
* benchtests/bench-memcmp.c (do_test): Adjust.
* benchtests/bench-memset-large.c (do_test): Likewise.
* benchtests/bench-memset-walk.c (do_test): Likewise.
* benchtests/bench-memset.c (do_test): Likewise.
* benchtests/bench-strncmp.c (do_test): Likewise.
Keeping the buffers the same across test runs gives later invocations
the advantage since they access cached data. Reallocate so that all
test runs are on equal grounds.
* benchtests/bench-memcmp.c (do_test): Call realloc_buf for
every test run.
Switch the string benchmarks to using bench-timing.h instead
of hp-timing.h directly. This allows the string benchmarks to
be run usefully on architectures such as ARM that do not have
support for hp-timing.h.
In order to do this the tests have been changed from timing each
individual call and picking the lowest execution time recorded to
timing a number of calls and taking the mean execution time.
ChangeLog:
2013-09-04 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* benchtests/bench-timing.h (TIMING_PRINT_MEAN): New macro.
* benchtests/bench-string.h: Include bench-timing.h instead
of including hp-timing.h directly. (INNER_LOOP_ITERS): New
define. (HP_TIMING_BEST): Delete macro. (test_init): Remove
call to HP_TIMING_DIFF_INIT.

instead of hp-timing.h macros.
