Add 2 benchmarks: 1. Performance of thread creation/exiting in presence of breakpoints. 2. Performance of breakpoint modification in presence of threads. The benchmarks capture use cases that we are interested in: using inheritable breakpoints in large highly-threaded applications. The benchmarks show significant slowdown imposed by breakpoints (even when they don't fire). Testing on Intel 8173M with 112 HW threads show: perf bench --repeat=56 breakpoint thread --breakpoints=0 --parallelism=56 --threads=20 78.675000 usecs/op perf bench --repeat=56 breakpoint thread --breakpoints=4 --parallelism=56 --threads=20 12967.135714 usecs/op That's 165x slowdown due to presence of the breakpoints. perf bench --repeat=20000 breakpoint enable --passive=0 --active=0 1.433250 usecs/op perf bench --repeat=20000 breakpoint enable --passive=224 --active=0 585.318400 usecs/op perf bench --repeat=20000 breakpoint enable --passive=0 --active=111 635.953000 usecs/op That's 408x and 444x slowdown due to presence of threads.
