Ian Rogers e95770af4c tools api: Add a lightweight buffered reading api
The synthesize benchmark shows the majority of execution time going to
fgets and sscanf, necessary to parse /proc/pid/maps. Add a new buffered
reading library that will be used to replace these calls in a follow-up
CL. Add tests for the library to perf test.

Committer tests:

  $ perf test api
  63: Test api io                                           : Ok
  $

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
