+[PATCH] avoid gcc optimize-away the loops
+
+Upstream-Status: pending
+
+Change expression used in do_integer_mul and do_uint64_mul
+benchmarks so GCC doesn't optimize-away the loops, other
+things are same:
+-               TEN(r *= s;); r -= t;
++               i = 0;
++               while ( i++ < 10)
++                       r *= s;
++               r -= t;
+
+and TEN is macro:
+        #define TEN(a) a a a a a a a a a a
