2017-05-21perf: add a GIT_PERF_MAKE_COMMAND for when *_MAKE_OPTS won't doLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+16
Add a git GIT_PERF_MAKE_COMMAND variable to compliment the existing GIT_PERF_MAKE_OPTS facility. This allows specifying an arbitrary shell command to execute instead of 'make'. This is useful e.g. in cases where the name, semantics or defaults of a Makefile flag have changed over time. It can even be used to change the contents of the tree, useful for monkeypatching ancient versions of git to get them to build. This opens Pandora's box in some ways, it's now possible to "jailbreak" the perf environment and e.g. modify the source tree via this arbitrary instead of just issuing a custom "make" command, such a command has to be re-entrant in the sense that subsequent perf runs will re-use the possibly modified tree. It would be pointless to try to mitigate or work around that caveat in a tool purely aimed at Git developers, so this change makes no attempt to do so.

2017-05-12perf: add function to setup a fresh test repoLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+1
Add a function to setup a fresh test repo via 'git init' to compliment the existing functions to copy over a normal & large repo. Some performance tests don't need any existing repository data at all to be significant, e.g. tests which stress glob matches against single pathological revisions or files, which I'm about to add in a subsequent commit.

2016-06-22t/perf: fix regression in testing older versions of gitLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+10
Commit 7501b59 (perf: make the tests work in worktrees, 2016-05-13) introduced the use of "git rev-parse --git-path" in the perf-lib setup code. Because the to-be-tested version of git is at the front of the $PATH when this code runs, this means we cannot use modern versions of t/perf to test versions of git older than v2.5.0 (when that option was introduced). This is a symptom of a more general problem. The t/perf suite is essentially independent of git versions, and ideally we would be able to run the most modern and complete set of tests across many historical versions (to see how they compare). But any setup code they run is therefore required to use the lowest common denominator we expect to test. So let's introduce a new variable, $MODERN_GIT, that we can use both in perf-lib and in the test setup to get a reliable set of git features (we might change git and break some tests, of course, but $MODERN_GIT is tied to the same version of git as the t/perf scripts, so they can be fixed or adjusted together). This commit fixes the "--git-path" case, but does not mass-convert existing setup code to use $MODERN_GIT. Most setup code is fairly vanilla and will work with effectively all versions. But now the tool is there to fix any other issues we find going forward. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-06-22Documentation: Update 'linux-2.6.git' -> 'linux.git'Libravatar W. Trevor King1-1/+1
The 3.x tree has been out for a while now. The -2.6 repository name survived the initial release [1], but kernel.org now only lists 'linux.git' (for aegl as well as torvalds) [2].

2013-03-09perf: update documentation of GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNTLibravatar Antoine Pelisse1-1/+1
Currently the documentation of GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT says the default is five while "perf-lib.sh" uses a value of three as a default. Update the documentation so that it is consistent with the code.

2012-02-17Introduce a performance testing frameworkLibravatar Thomas Rast1-0/+146
This introduces a performance testing framework under t/perf/. It tries to be as close to the test-lib.sh infrastructure as possible, and thus should be easy to get used to for git developers. The following points were considered for the implementation: 1. You usually want to compare arbitrary revisions/build trees against each other. They may not have the performance test under consideration, or even the perf-lib.sh infrastructure. To cope with this, the 'run' script lets you specify arbitrary build dirs and revisions. It even automatically builds the revisions if it doesn't have them at hand yet. 2. Usually you would not want to run all tests. It would take too long anyway. The 'run' script lets you specify which tests to run; or you can also do it manually. There is a Makefile for discoverability and 'make clean', but it is not meant for real-world use. 3. Creating test repos from scratch in every test is extremely time-consuming, and shipping or downloading such large/weird repos is out of the question. We leave this decision to the user. Two different sizes of test repos can be configured, and the scripts just copy one or more of those (using hardlinks for the object store). By default it tries to use the build tree's git.git repository. This is fairly fast and versatile. Using a copy instead of a clone preserves many properties that the user may want to test for, such as lots of loose objects, unpacked refs, etc. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
