perf bench: Flush stdout before starting bench suite
perf bench prints header message for bench suite before starting the benchmark. However if the stdout is redirected to a file and bench suite forks child processes this (and possibly other debugging messages too) will be repeated multiple times. $ perf bench sched messaging # Running sched/messaging benchmark... # 20 sender and receiver processes per group # 10 groups == 400 processes run Total time: 0.100 [sec] $ perf bench sched messaging > result.txt $ wc -l result.txt 391 In this file, there were so many "Running sched/messaging benchmark..." lines. This was because stdout is converted to fully-buffered due to the redirection and inherited child processes. Other lines are printed after reaping all those tasks. So fix it by flushing stdout before starting bench suites.
