gVisor Syscall Benchmark

This directory contains a linux/amd64 Go binary which measures raw syscall performance by running getppid (which is usually not cached in userspace) a fixed number of iterations. It would be ideal to run for a specified amount of time instead, but plumbing results back is a pain, and this is good enough. The benchmark source is in the src directory.

The benchmark is loosely based off the syscall benchmark in gVisor's repository.
