Loïc Dachary 7fe0ac7c11 qa: verify the benefits of mempool cacheline optimization
There already is a test to verify the mempool sharding works, in the sense that
it uses at least half of the variables available to count the number of
allocated objects and their total size. This new test verifies that, with
sharding, object counting is at least twice faster than without sharding. It
also collects cacheline contention data with the perf c2c tool. The manual
analysis of this data shows the optimization gain is indeed related to cacheline
contention.

-------------

clusters/    - some predefined cluster layouts
suites/      - set suite

The suites directory has a hierarchical collection of tests.  This can be
freeform, but generally follows the convention of

  suites/<test suite name>/<test group>/...

A test is described by a yaml fragment.

A test can exist as a single .yaml file in the directory tree.  For example:

 suites/foo/one.yaml
 suites/foo/two.yaml

is a simple group of two tests.

A directory with a magic '+' file represents a test that combines all
other items in the directory into a single yaml fragment.  For example:

 suites/foo/bar/+
 suites/foo/bar/a.yaml
 suites/foo/bar/b.yaml
 suites/foo/bar/c.yaml

is a single test consisting of a + b + c.

A directory with a magic '%' file represents a test matrix formed from
all other items in the directory.  For example,

 suites/baz/%
 suites/baz/a.yaml
 suites/baz/b/b1.yaml
 suites/baz/b/b2.yaml
 suites/baz/c.yaml
 suites/baz/d/d1.yaml
 suites/baz/d/d2.yaml

is a 4-dimensional test matrix.  Two dimensions (a, c) are trivial (1
item), so this is really 2x2 = 4 tests, which are

  a + b1 + c + d1
  a + b1 + c + d2
  a + b2 + c + d1
  a + b2 + c + d2

A directory with a magic '$' file, or a directory whose name ends with '$',
represents a test where one of the non-magic items is chosen randomly.  For
example, both

 suites/foo/$
 suites/foo/a.yaml
 suites/foo/b.yaml
 suites/foo/c.yaml

and

 suites/foo$/a.yaml
 suites/foo$/b.yaml
 suites/foo$/c.yaml

is a single test, either a, b or c.  This can be used in conjunction with the
'%' file in the same (see below) or other directories to run a series of tests
without causing an unwanted increase in the total number of jobs run.

Symlinks are okay.

One particular use of symlinks is to combine '%' and the latter form of '$'
feature.  Consider supported_distros directory containing fragments that define
os_type and os_version:

 supported_distros/%
 supported_distros/centos.yaml
 supported_distros/rhel.yaml
 supported_distros/ubuntu.yaml

A test that links supported_distros as distros (a name that doesn't end with
'$') will be run three times: on centos, rhel and ubuntu.  A test that links
supported_distros as distros$ will be run just once: either on centos, rhel or
ubuntu, chosen randomly.
