944afe6d95 benchtests: Add UNSUPPORTED benchmark status
The libmvec benchmarks print a message indicating that a certain CPU
feature is unsupported and exit prematurelyi, which breaks the JSON in
bench.out.

Handle this more elegantly in the bench makefile target by adding
support for an UNSUPPORTED exit status (77) so that bench.out continues
to have output for valid tests.

9e5daa1f6a benchtests: Add pthread-mutex-locks bench
Benchmark for testing pthread mutex locks performance with different
threads and critical sections.

The test configuration consists of 3 parts:
1. thread number
2. critical-section length
3. non-critical-section length

Thread number starts from 1 and increased by 2x until num of CPU cores
(nprocs). An additional over-saturation case (1.25 * nprocs) is also
included.
Critical-section is represented by a loop of shared do_filler(),
length can be determined by the loop iters.
Non-critical-section is similiar to the critical-section, except it's
based on non-shared do_filler().

Currently, adaptive pthread_mutex lock is tested.

Add acosf function to bench-math and copy acosf-inputs to benchtests.
Motivation for this patch is to prepare for upcoming libmvec new
functions.  Float and double version of libmvec functions stays
together.

acosf-inputs file generated from acos-inputs file using following
scaling formula:

f = d * (FLT_MAX/DBL_MAX)

Where d is input(double) and f is output(float).  If scaled float value
is duplicate in new input file, nextafterf() function used to find next
float value, ensuring no duplicates.

5bfb04042d benchtests: Memory walking benchmark for memmove
This benchmark is an attempt to eliminate cache effects from string
benchmarks.  The benchmark walks both ways through a large memory area
and copies different sizes of memory and alignments one at a time
instead of looping around in the same memory area.  This is a good
metric to have alongside the simple memmove benchmark (which is only
really useful for smaller sizes) especially for larger sizes where the
likelihood of the call being done only once is pretty high.

This benchmark is different from memcpy in that it also tests
overlapping copies.

	* benchtests/bench-memmove-walk.c: New file.
	* benchtests/Makefile (string-benchset): Add it.

36bb8edf51 benchtests: Memory walking benchmark for memset
This benchmark is an attempt to eliminate cache effects from string
benchmarks.  The benchmark walks backward through a large memory area
and sets different sizes of memory and alignments one at a time
instead of looping around in the same memory area.  This is a good
metric to have alongside the simple memset benchmark (which is only
really useful for smaller sizes) especially for larger sizes where the
likelihood of the call being done only once is pretty high.

	* benchtests/bench-memset-walk.c: New file.
