Tool to impose load on and stress test a computer system

stress's Issues

`sys/prctl.h` does not exist in osx

👋 sys/prctl.h does not exist in osx, which is causing the 1.0.6 build failure. Thanks!

relates to Homebrew/homebrew-core#120878

print how much memory could be allocated

the result message

stress -m 1 --vm-hang 0 -v --vm-bytes 15g
stress: FAIL: [12505] (461) failed run completed in 5s

could be amended to

stress: FAIL: [12505] (461) failed run completed in 5s with 9842m allocated 

the memory manager was able to print it on the host but i need to test it on a guest system that use lmk that i am unfamiliar with

sudo journalctl -u earlyoom | tail
May 27 13:24:23 emu earlyoom[7334]: sending SIGTERM to process 10414 uid 1001 "stress": badness 1078, VmRSS 9842 MiB

there is a crude work around by counting the number of completed workers. but better to reveal the mystery and just tell how much the system was able to offer. i am assigning myself to fix this

stress -m 1 --vm-hang 0 -v --vm-bytes 1g -m 15 --backoff 1000000

Please, add timing for workers to debug info

Hi,
It would be fine to have also a "time elapsed" for every worker information
while invoking stress -v or with a separate option

thanks,
