Subject: add timing for workers to debug info

Package: stress
Severity: wishlist

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,

Can you provide an example for the expected output?

Currently we have

$ stress -v --cpu 2 --timeout 5s
stress: info: [24710] dispatching hogs: 2 cpu, 0 io, 0 vm, 0 hdd
stress: dbug: [24710] using backoff sleep of 6000us
stress: dbug: [24710] setting timeout to 5s
stress: dbug: [24710] --> hogcpu worker 2 [24711] forked
stress: dbug: [24710] using backoff sleep of 3000us
stress: dbug: [24710] setting timeout to 5s
stress: dbug: [24710] --> hogcpu worker 1 [24712] forked
stress: dbug: [24710] <-- worker 24712 signalled normally
stress: dbug: [24710] <-- worker 24711 signalled normally
stress: info: [24710] successful run completed in 5s

This bug was taken from Debian and I have no more information. But, IMO, the main idea is print in screen the "time elapsed" second by second. timeout is not a time elapsed, but a time limit to kill the process.
