no cast is needed for string literals.

also, please use the vertical alignment initialization style used in 
other builtin-*.c tools.

We dont do new typedefs in .c's generally. It should be put into a 
header - but i think using u64 would be good too.

There's full rdtscll implementations in arch/x86/include/asm/tsc.h. They 
should either be included - or copied in part.

That #ifdef x86_64 looks quite ugly.

Also, why not use the 'cycles' perf event to retrieve cycles?

We try to align structure definitions vertically too.

{ NULL, } would be equivalent i guess.

if 'i' was of type unsigned long then the (int) cast wouldnt be needed i 
suspect?

is the cast to 'int' needed here?

This should go until a utils/*.c helper file i suspect.

well, because 'gettimeofday' could fail in theory and then 'diff' 
remains uninitialized. Initializing it would solve that.

str2length should return a proper type instead of forcing a (int) cast 
here.

Please use { } curly braces around all non-single-line statements. I.e. 
the above should be:

	for (i = 0; routines[i].name; i++) {
		if (!strcmp(routines[i].name, routine))
			break;
	}

It's a tiny bit longer but more robust.

Please use BUG_ON() - we try to standardize on kernel code style in perf 
tooling.

curly braces needed.

these curly braces are not needed. (but this code would probably go away 
if the code used perf events to retrieve cycles or time of day elapsed 
time.)

could use pr_err() here i guess.
