[llvm-commits] Review request for test-suite test "unix-smail" disabling

[Joel Jones]

The test in test-suite in the directory MultiSource/Benchmarks/Prolangs-C,
when measured, appears to spend almost no time in user-space, but in the
system executing getpwent().  Over time, as more entries in the password file
(or entries loaded from a network server) are added, the time spent in getpwent
grows.  This leads to the appearance of a performance regression.  This patch
disables unix-smail from being run.  However, the test will still be visible in the
output web pages in sections labeled: "Removed Tests - Compile Time" and 
"Removed Tests - Execution Time".
