c3c6c20482 lib: dhry: remove unneeded <linux/mutex.h> 
Patch series "lib: dhry: miscellaneous cleanups".

This patch series contains a few miscellaneous cleanups for the
Dhrystone benchmark test.


This patch (of 3):

The Dhrystone benchmark test does not use mutexes.

13684e966d lib: dhry: fix unstable smp_processor_id(_) usage 
When running the in-kernel Dhrystone benchmark with
CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y:

    BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: bash/938

Fix this by not using smp_processor_id() directly, but instead wrapping
the whole benchmark inside a get_cpu()/put_cpu() pair.  This makes sure
the whole benchmark is run on the same CPU core, and the reported values
are consistent.

d5528cc168 lib: add Dhrystone benchmark test 
When working on SoC bring-up, (a full) userspace may not be available,
making it hard to benchmark the CPU performance of the system under
development.  Still, one may want to have a rough idea of the (relative)
performance of one or more CPU cores, especially when working on e.g.  the
clock driver that controls the CPU core clock(s).

Hence make the classical Dhrystone 2.1 benchmark available as a Linux
kernel test module, based on[1].

When built-in, this benchmark can be run without any userspace present.

Parallel runs (run on multiple CPU cores) are supported, just kick the
"run" file multiple times.

Note that the actual figures depend on the configuration options that
control compiler optimization (e.g.  CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE vs. 
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE), and on the compiler options used when
building the kernel in general.  Hence numbers may differ from those
obtained by running similar benchmarks in userspace.
