Andy Ross 46891f0213 tests/kernel/benchmarks: Disable TICKLESS_KERNEL for "no tick" tests 
These tests was written to try to eliminate timer interrupts, but the
mechanism chosen (setting TICKS_PER_SECOND to 1) is dangerously
susceptible to overflow conditions on systems with fast cycle counters
and high timeout durations.

Actually the tests pass just fine if you use a conventional tick rate
and use a tickless-capable driver (which eliminates interrupts too,
which is the whole point), but there's no easy way in kconfig to do an
"if" to select that condition for capable systems only.  Just disable
tickless to keep the same behavior.

Title: kernel Object Performance

Description:

The SysKernel test measures the performance of semaphore,
lifo, fifo and stack objects.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Building and Running Project:

This project outputs to the console. It can be built and executed
on QEMU as follows:

    make run

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Troubleshooting:

Problems caused by out-dated project information can be addressed by
issuing one of the following commands then rebuilding the project:

    make clean          # discard results of previous builds
                        # but keep existing configuration info
or
    make pristine       # discard results of previous builds
                        # and restore pre-defined configuration info

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
