It copies the test case into /tmp as well as # running the test binaries from /tmp to reduce the influence on the test # machine's storage medium on the results. It accounts for measurement # bias caused by binary layout (using the --randomize-section-padding # flag to link the test binaries) and by environment variable size # (implemented by hyperfine [1]). Runs of the base and test case are # interleaved to account for environmental factors which may influence # the result due to the passage of time. The results of running hyperfine # are collected into a results.csv file in the output directory and may # be analyzed by the user with a tool such as ministat. # # Requirements: Linux host, hyperfine [2] in $PATH, run from a build directory # configured to use ninja and a recent version of lld that supports # --randomize-section-padding, /tmp is tmpfs. # # [1] https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine/blob/3cedcc38d0c430cbf38b4364b441c43a938d2bf3/src/util/randomized_environment_offset.rs#L1 # [2] https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine # # Example invocation for comparing the performance of the current commit # against the previous commit which is treated as the baseline, without # linking debug info: # # lld/utils/run_benchmark.py \ # --base-commit HEAD^ \ # --test-commit HEAD \ # --test-case lld/utils/speed-test-reproducers/result/firefox-x64/response.txt \ # --num-iterations 512 \ # --num-binary-variants 16 \ # --output-dir outdir \ # --ldflags=-S # # Then this bash command will compare the real time of the base and test cases. # # ministat -A \ # <(grep lld-base outdir/results.csv | cut -d, -f2) \ # <(grep lld-test outdir/results.csv | cut -d, -f2) # We don't want to copy stat() information when we copy the reproducer # to the temporary directory.
