[PATCH v3 1/2] selftests: vm: add KSM merging time test

From: Zhansaya Bagdauletkyzy
Date: Thu Aug 19 2021 - 11:33:53 EST


Add ksm_merge_time() function to determine speed and time needed for
merging. The total spent time is shown in seconds while speed is
in MiB/s. User must specify the size of duplicated memory area (in MiB)
before running the test.

The test is run as follows: ./ksm_tests -P -s 100
The output:
Total size: 100 MiB
Total time: 0.201106786 s
Average speed: 497.248 MiB/s

v2 -> v3:
- no changes

v1 -> v2:
As suggested by Pavel,
- replace MB with MiB
- measure speed more accurately
