This commit adds crypto algorithm performance testing pipeline, built as a GitHub Action-based test harness.
The testing pipeline runs the Linux Kernel as a User-mode Linux binary.
The Linux Kernel test binary is built from the configuration specified in
zeta/test-artifacts/config-um
, and a simple initramfs archive is created, including the busybox binary, the init and test scripts (/zeta/test-artifacts/init and /zeta/test-artifacts/test-script.sh), and any kernel modules resulting from the kernel build.The crypto algorithm performance test consists in running the tcrypt kernel testing utility against each of the algorithms being tested - since the user-mode linux binary kernel doesn't have access to a high-resolution timer, the test relies on execution time to compare the different algorithm implementations.
