2021-10-04t/perf/aggregate.perl: tolerate leading spacesLibravatar Taylor Blau1-2/+2
When using `test_size` with `wc -c`, users on certain platforms can run into issues when `wc` emits leading space characters in its output, which confuses get_times. Callers could switch to use test_file_size instead of `wc -c` (the former never prints leading space characters, so will always work with test_size regardless of platform), but this is an easy enough spot to miss that we should teach get_times to be more tolerant of the input it accepts. Teach get_times to do just that by stripping any leading space characters. Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-07-02perf: fix when running with TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORYLibravatar Patrick Steinhardt1-2/+3
When the TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is defined, then all test data will be written in that directory instead of the default directory located in "t/". While this works as expected for our normal tests, performance tests fail to locate and aggregate performance data because they don't know to handle TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY correctly and always look at the default location. Fix the issue by adding a `--results-dir` parameter to "aggregate.perl" which identifies the directory where results are and by making the "run" script awake of the TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY variable.

Test cleanup. * jk/perf-wo-git-dot-pm: t/perf: don't depend on Git.pm
2019-11-27t/perf: don't depend on Git.pmLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+7
The perf suite's aggregate.perl depends on Git.pm, which is a mild annoyance if you've built git with NO_PERL. It turns out that the only thing we use it for is a single call of the command_oneline() helper. We can just replace this with backticks or similar. Annoyingly, perl has no backtick equivalent that avoids a shell eval, which means our $arg would require quoting. This probably doesn't matter for our purposes, but it's better to be safe and model good style. So we'll just provide a short helper around open(), which takes its arguments as a list.

2019-11-27perf-lib: use a single filename for all measurement typesLibravatar Jeff King1-9/+3
The perf tests write files recording the results of tests. These results are later aggregated by 'aggregate.perl'. If the tests are run multiple times, those results are overwritten by the new results. This works just fine as long as there are only perf tests measuring the times, whose results are stored in "$base".times files. However 22bec79d1a ("t/perf: add infrastructure for measuring sizes", 2018-08-17) introduced a new type of test for measuring the size of something. The results of this are written to "$base".size files. "$base" is essentially made up of the basename of the script plus the test number. So if test numbers shift because a new test was introduced earlier in the script we might end up with both a ".times" and a ".size" file for the same test. In the aggregation script the ".times" file is preferred over the ".size" file, so some size tests might end with performance numbers from a previous run of the test. This is mainly relevant when writing perf tests that check both performance and sizes, and can get quite confusing during developement. We could fix this by doing a more thorough job of cleaning out old ".times" and ".size" files before running each test. However, an even easier solution is to just use the same filename for both types of measurement, meaning we'll always overwrite the previous result. We don't even need to change the file format to distinguish the two; aggregate.perl already decides which is which based on a regex of the content (this may become ambiguous if we add new types in the future, but we could easily add a header field to the file at that point). Based on an initial patch from Thomas Gummerer, who discovered the problem and did all of the analysis (which I stole for the commit message above): https://public-inbox.org/git/20191119185047.8550-1-t.gummerer@gmail.com/ Helped-by: Thomas Gummerer <t.gummerer@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2019-05-08perf tests: add "bindir" prefix to git tree test resultsLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+3
Change the output file names in test-results/ to be "test-results/bindir_<munged dir>" rather than just "test-results/<munged dir>". This is for consistency with the "build_" directories we have for built revisions, i.e. "test-results/build_<SHA-1>". There's no user-visible functional changes here, it just makes it easier to see at a glance what "test-results" files are of what "type" as they're all explicitly grouped together now, and to grep this code to find both the run_dirs_helper() implementation and its corresponding aggregate.perl code. Note that we already guarantee that the rest of the PERF_RESULTS_PREFIX is an absolute path, and since it'll start with e.g. "/" which we munge to "_" we'll up with a readable string like "bindir_home_avar[...]".

2019-05-08perf-lib.sh: remove GIT_TEST_INSTALLED from perf-lib.shLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-4/+6
Follow-up my preceding change which fixed the immediate "./run <revisions>" regression in 0baf78e7bc ("perf-lib.sh: rely on test-lib.sh for --tee handling", 2019-03-15) and entirely get rid of GIT_TEST_INSTALLED from perf-lib.sh (and aggregate.perl). As noted in that change the dance we're doing with GIT_TEST_INSTALLED perf-lib.sh isn't necessary, but there I was doing the most minimal set of changes to quickly fix a regression. But it's much simpler to never deal with the "GIT_TEST_INSTALLED" we were setting in perf-lib.sh at all. Instead the run_dirs_helper() sets the previously inferred $PERF_RESULTS_PREFIX directly. Setting this at the callsite that's already best positioned to exhaustively know about all the different cases we need to handle where PERF_RESULTS_PREFIX isn't what we want already (the empty string) makes the most sense. In one-off cases like: ./run ./p0000-perf-lib-sanity.sh ./p0000-perf-lib-sanity.sh We'll just do the right thing because PERF_RESULTS_PREFIX will be empty, and test-lib.sh takes care of finding where our git is. Any refactoring of this code needs to change both the shell code and the Perl code in aggregate.perl, because when running e.g.: ./run ../../ -- <test> The "../../" path to a relative bindir needs to be munged to a filename containing the results, and critically aggregate.perl does not get passed the path to those aggregations, just "../..". Let's fix cases where aggregate.perl would print e.g. ".." in its report output for this, and "git" for "/home/avar/g/git", i.e. it would always pick the last element. Now'll always print the full path instead. This also makes the code sturdier, e.g. you can feed "../.." to "./run" and then an absolute path to the aggregate.perl script, as long as the absolute path and "../.." resolved to the same directory printing the aggregation will work. Also simplify the "[_*]" on the RHS of "tr -c", we're trimming everything to "_", so we don't need that. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com>
2019-05-08perf aggregate: remove GIT_TEST_INSTALLED from --codespeedLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-3/+0
Remove the setting of the "environment" from the --codespeed output. I don't think this is useful, and it helps with a later refactoring where we GIT_TEST_INSTALLED stop munging/reading GIT_TEST_INSTALLED in the perf tests in so many places. This was added in 05eb1c37ed ("perf/aggregate: implement codespeed JSON output", 2018-01-05), but since the "run" scripts uses "GIT_TEST_INSTALLED" internally this was only ever useful for one-off runs of a single revision as all the "environment" values would be ones for whatever directory the "run" script ran last. Let's instead fall back on the "uname -r" case, which is the sort of thing the environment should be set to, not something that duplicates other parts of the codpseed output. For setting the "environment" to something custom the perf.repoName variable can be used. See 19cf57a92e ("perf/run: read GIT_PERF_REPO_NAME from perf.repoName", 2018-01-05).

2019-04-24t/perf: depend on perl JSON only when using --codespeedLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
Commit 05eb1c37ed (perf/aggregate: implement codespeed JSON output, 2018-01-05) added a dependency on the perl JSON module to show output from aggregate.perl, but we only need it when the user asks for --codespeed output. While the module is pretty common, it's not part of the base system, and this dependency can get in the way of producing the default human-readable output. Let's bump the "use" down to a "require" in the code path that needs it, which will be interpreted at run-time instead of compile-time. People not using "--codespeed" won't even load the module, and anybody using it should see the same results (including the same perl error if they don't have it). Note that this skips the importing step, so we'll have to fully qualify our function call. We could accomplish the same thing in other ways. E.g., calling JSON->import() ourselves, or wrapping "use JSON" in an eval. Since there's only one such call, this seems like the least-magical way of doing it.

2018-04-26perf/aggregate: use Getopt::Long for option parsingLibravatar Christian Couder1-36/+26
When passing an option '--foo' that it does not recognize, the aggregate.perl script should die with an helpful error message like: Unknown option: foo ./aggregate.perl [options] [--] [<dir_or_rev>...] [--] \ [<test_script>...] > Options: --codespeed * Format output for Codespeed --reponame <str> * Send given reponame to codespeed --sort-by <str> * Sort output (only "regression" \ criteria is supported) rather than: fatal: Needed a single revision rev-parse --verify --foo: command returned error: 128 To implement that let's use Getopt::Long for option parsing instead of the current manual and sloppy parsing. This should save some code and make option parsing simpler, tighter and safer. This will avoid something like 'foo--sort-by=regression' to be handled as if '--sort-by=regression' had been used, for example. As Getopt::Long eats '--' at the end of options, this changes a bit the way '--' is handled as we can now have '--' both after the options and before the scripts.

If we would like to sort according to how much the stime regressed we could also add a new option called '--sort-by=regression:stime'.

2017-12-11Makefile: replace perl/Makefile.PL with simple make rulesLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+1
Replace the perl/Makefile.PL and the fallback perl/Makefile used under NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=NoThanks with a much simpler implementation heavily inspired by how the i18n infrastructure's build process works[1]. The reason for having the Makefile.PL in the first place is that it was initially[2] building a perl C binding to interface with libgit, this functionality, that was removed[3] before Git.pm ever made it to the master branch. We've since since started maintaining a fallback perl/Makefile, as MakeMaker wouldn't work on some platforms[4]. That's just the tip of the iceberg. We have the PM.stamp hack in the top-level Makefile[5] to detect whether we need to regenerate the perl/perl.mak, which I fixed just recently to deal with issues like the perl version changing from under us[6]. There is absolutely no reason for why this needs to be so complex anymore. All we're getting out of this elaborate Rube Goldberg machine was copying perl/* to perl/blib/* as we do a string-replacement on the *.pm files to hardcode @@LOCALEDIR@@ in the source, as well as pod2man-ing Git.pm & friends. So replace the whole thing with something that's pretty much a copy of how we generate po/build/**.mo from po/*.po, just with a small sed(1) command instead of msgfmt. As that's being done rename the files from *.pm to *.pmc just to indicate that they're generated (see "perldoc -f require"). While I'm at it, change the fallback for Error.pm from being something where we'll ship our own Error.pm if one doesn't exist at build time to one where we just use a Git::Error wrapper that'll always prefer the system-wide Error.pm, only falling back to our own copy if it really doesn't exist at runtime. It's now shipped as Git::FromCPAN::Error, making it easy to add other modules to Git::FromCPAN::* in the future if that's needed. Functional changes: * This will not always install into perl's idea of its global "installsitelib". This only potentially matters for packagers that need to expose Git.pm for non-git use, and as explained in the INSTALL file there's a trivial workaround. * The scripts themselves will 'use lib' the target directory, but if INSTLIBDIR is set it overrides it. It doesn't have to be this way, it could be set in addition to INSTLIBDIR, but my reading of [7] is that this is the desired behavior. * We don't build man pages for all of the perl modules as we used to, only Git(3pm). As discussed on-list[8] that we were building installed manpages for purely internal APIs like Git::I18N or private-Error.pm was always a bug anyway, and all the Git::SVN::* ones say they're internal APIs. There are apparently external users of Git.pm, but I don't expect there to be any of the others. As a side-effect of these general changes the perl documentation now only installed by install-{doc,man}, not a mere "install" as before. 1. 5e9637c629 ("i18n: add infrastructure for translating Git with gettext", 2011-11-18) 2. b1edc53d06 ("Introduce Git.pm (v4)", 2006-06-24) 3. 18b0fc1ce1 ("Git.pm: Kill Git.xs for now", 2006-09-23) 4. f848718a69 ("Make perl/ build procedure ActiveState friendly.", 2006-12-04) 5. ee9be06770 ("perl: detect new files in MakeMaker builds", 2012-07-27) 6. c59c4939c2 ("perl: regenerate perl.mak if perl -V changes", 2017-03-29) 7. 0386dd37b1 ("Makefile: add PERLLIB_EXTRA variable that adds to default perl path", 2013-11-15) 8. 87bmjjv1pu.fsf@evledraar.booking.com ("Re: [PATCH] Makefile: replace perl/Makefile.PL with simple make rules" Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-02-17Introduce a performance testing frameworkLibravatar Thomas Rast1-0/+166
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>
