Stupid question, how did you manage to buil timing_test_64? Here it fails 
with a bog standard gcc 7.3.0 x86-64 distro toolchain:

 dagon:~/luto-misc-tests.git> make timing_test_64
 g++ -m64 -o timing_test_64 -O2 -g -std=gnu++11 -pthread -Wall  timing_test.cc -lrt -ldl
 /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/cc8VRkuV.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.text.startup' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIC
 /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on outputcollect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
 Makefile:39: recipe for target 'timing_test_64' failed


I'm using cb7f9f0592f8, which is like 1.5 years old - is this still the 
latest and greatest:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/luto/misc-tests.git

?

Thanks,
