I should send the mail to Rusty too. Sorry.

Thanks for your permission!
I wrote a patch. This adds builtin-bench.c and its document
perf-bench.txt to tools/perf/Documentation/.

How about this?

--- below is the patch and description ---

Adding general performance benchmarking subsystem and its document to perf.
This provides benchmark for scheduler based on Rusty Russel's hackbench.

New hackbench this patch containts has little improvements.
1) Output
Output is single float value, with out "Time: " string.
I believe this is more friendly form for processing by script languages.

2) Option processing
I don't like original option processing of hackbench,
because it requires -pipe when I want to specify num of groups.
I rewrote option processing with getopt_long().

Example of usage:
% perf bench sched -t -l 1000
2.863

+NAME
+----
+perf-bench - General benchmarking subsystem provided by perf
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'perf bench' <subsystem> [<options>]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This command measures performance of various kernel subsystems.
+
+This is the list of supported subsystems:
+
+'sched': Scheduler and IPC mechanisms. Result is time and printed to
+standard output. This benchmark is based on hackbench.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+<subsystem>::
+ Specify subsystem.
+
+'sched' specific
+----------------
+
+-p::
+--pipe::
+ Use pipe() instead of socketpair().
+
+-t::
+--thread::
+ Be multi thread instead of multi process.
+
+-g <number of groups>::
+--group=<number of groups>::
+ Specify number of groups.
+
+-l <number of loops>::
+--loop=<number of loops>::
+ Specify number of loops.
