Instead of just adding a copy, can you import lmbench on a branch so importing a newer version later doesn't require a lot of manual labor?
I know git has only rudimentary support for real branches but it should still be possible.
sorry, to be clear, the purpose of plopping lmbench in is that it is a simple set of C programs that we can use as regressions. we don't really care if there's a new release, as we're not actually benchmarking with it.
That's like saying "this code is temporary" :-)
but anyway, whatever... as long as I don't have to do the manual labor when the time comes I'm happy at that point to just say "I told you so" :-)
first add of lmbench suite into usr/tests
most tests aren't going to make sense in a barrelfish context or just want to touch unimplemented functionality. we want to strip this down to a min-max optimum of tests we can touch off as regressions.
