Reduce the total time taken by benchtests. The malloc thread test takes 4
minutes to run which is significantly more than most other tests. Reduce
this to a more reasonable 40 seconds. The math tests take 10 seconds each,

second runtime is way overkill, so set the limit to 1 second.

This patch makes Python 3.4 or later a required tool for building
glibc, so allowing changes of awk, perl etc. code used in the build
and test to Python code without any such changes needing makefile
conditionals or to handle older Python versions.
This patch makes the configure test for Python check the version and
give an error if Python is missing or too old, and removes makefile
conditionals that are no longer needed. It does not itself convert
any code from another language to Python, and does not remove any
compatibility with older Python versions from existing scripts.
Tested for x86_64.

This benchmark is an attempt to eliminate cache effects from string

instead of looping around in the same memory area. This is a good

really useful for smaller sizes) especially for larger sizes where the
likelihood of the call being done only once is pretty high.

Current allocate_stack logic for create stacks is to first mmap all
the required memory with the desirable memory and then mprotect the
guard area with PROT_NONE if required. Although it works as expected,
it pessimizes the allocation because it requires the kernel to actually
increase commit charge (it counts against the available physical/swap
memory available for the system).
The only issue is to actually check this change since side-effects are
really Linux specific and to actually account them it would require a
kernel specific tests to parse the system wide information. On the kernel
I checked /proc/self/statm does not show any meaningful difference for
vmm and/or rss before and after thread creation. I could only see
really meaningful information checking on system wide /proc/meminfo
between thread creation: MemFree, MemAvailable, and Committed_AS shows
large difference without the patch. I think trying to use these
kind of information on a testcase is fragile.
The BZ#18988 reports shows that the commit pages are easily seen with
mlockall (MCL_FUTURE) (with lock all pages that become mapped in the
process) however a more straighfoward testcase shows that pthread_create
could be faster using this patch:
