Building benchmarks as static executables:
=========================================
To build benchmarks as static executables, on the build system, run:
$ make STATIC-BENCHTESTS=yes bench-build
You can copy benchmark executables to another machine and run them
without copying the source nor build directories.

commit 7621e38bf3c58b2d0359545f1f2898017fd89d05
Author: Wilco Dijkstra <Wilco.Dijkstra@arm.com>

Add generic hp-timing support
removed the clock_gettime option. Restore the clock_gettime option for
some x86 CPUs on which value from RDTSC may not be incremented at a fixed
rate.

Add missing generic hp_timing support. It uses clock_gettime (CLOCK_MONOTONIC)
which has unspecified starting time, nano-second accuracy, and should faster on
architectures that implementes the symbol as vDSO.
Checked on aarch64-linux-gnu, x86_64-linux-gnu, and i686-linux-gnu. I also
checked the builds for all afected ABIs.
* benchtests/Makefile (USE_CLOCK_GETTIME) Remove.
* benchtests/README: Update description.
* benchtests/bench-timing.h: Default to hp-timing.
* sysdeps/generic/hp-timing.h (HP_TIMING_DIFF, HP_TIMING_ACCUM_NT,
HP_TIMING_PRINT): Remove.
(HP_TIMING_NOW): Add generic implementation.
(hp_timing_t): Change to uint64_t.

RDTSCP waits until all previous instructions have executed and all
previous loads are globally visible before reading the counter. RDTSC
doesn't wait until all previous instructions have been executed before
reading the counter. All x86 processors since 2010 support RDTSCP
instruction. This patch adds RDTSCP support to benchtests.
* benchtests/Makefile (CPPFLAGS-nonlib): Add -DUSE_RDTSCP if
USE_RDTSCP is defined.
* sysdeps/x86/hp-timing.h (HP_TIMING_NOW): Use RDTSCP if
USE_RDTSCP is defined.

This patch adds BENCHSET variable to benchtests/Makefile in order to
provide the capability to run a list of subsets of benchmark tests, ie;
make bench BENCHSET="bench-pthread bench-math malloc-thread"
This helps users to benchmark specific glibc area
ChangeLog:
* benchtests/Makefile:Add BENCHSET to allow subsets of
benchmarks to be run.
* benchtests/README: Add documentation for: Running subsets of
benchmarks.

Make the script more usable by adding proper command line options
along with a way to query the options. The script is capable of doing
a bunch of things right now like choosing a base for comparison,
choosing to generate graphs, etc. and they should be accessible via
command line switches.
* benchtests/scripts/compare_strings.py: Use argparse.
* benchtests/README: Document existence of compare_strings.py.

Improve support for math function benchmarking. This patch adds
a feature that allows accurate benchmarking of traces extracted
from real workloads. This is done by iterating over all samples
rather than repeating each sample many times (which completely
ignores branch prediction and cache effects). A trace can be
added to existing math function inputs via
"## name: workload-<name>", followed by the trace.
* benchtests/README: Describe workload feature.
* benchtests/bench-skeleton.c (main): Add support for
benchmarking traces from workloads.

This patch adds full support for cross-building benchmarks. Some
benchmarks like those that need locales to be generated cannot be
built and are hence skipped for cross builds.
Tested by cross building for aarch64 on x86_64 and then running the
generated benchmark on aarch64.
* benchtests/Makefile (wcsmbs-benchset): Include only for
native builds and runs.
(LOCALES): Likewise.
(bench-build): Build timing-type here instead of the bench
target. Generate locale only for native builds.
* benchtests/README: Add note for cross-building.

Add a new 'init' directive that specifies the name of the function to
call to do function-specific initialization. This is useful for
benchmarks that need to do a one-time initialization before the
functions are executed.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
We have a single thread that runs a no-op initialization once and then
repeatedly runs checks of the initialization (i.e., an acquire load and
conditional jump) in a tight loop. This gives us, on average, the
best-case latency of pthread_once (the initialization is the
exactly-once slow path, and we're not looking at initialization-related
synchronization overheads in this case).

This patch adds the ability to accept output arguments to functions
being benchmarked, by nesting the argument type in <> in the args
directive. It includes the sincos implementation as an example, where
the function would have the following args directive:
## args: double:<double *>:<double *>
This simply adds a definition for a static variable whose pointer gets
passed into the function, so it's not yet possible to pass something
more complicated like a pre-allocated string or array. That would be
a good feature to add if a function needs it.
The values in the input file will map only to the input arguments. So
if I had a directive like this for a function foo:
## args: int:<int *>:int:<int *>
and I have a value list like this:
1, 2
3, 4
5, 6
then the function calls generated would be:
foo (1, &out1, 2, &out2);
foo (3, &out1, 4, &out2);
foo (5, &out1, 6, &out2);

This adds the "include-sources" directive to scripts/bench.pl. This
allows for including source code (vs including headers, which might get
a different search path) after the inclusion of any headers.

This patch adds some more directives to the benchmark inputs file,
moving functionality from the Makefile and making the code generation
script a bit cleaner. The function argument and return types that
were earlier added as variables in the makefile and passed to the
script via command line arguments are now the 'args' and 'ret'
directive respectively. 'args' should be a colon separated list of
argument types (skipped if the function doesn't accept any arguments)
and 'ret' should be the return type.
Additionally, an 'includes' directive may have a comma separated list
of headers to include in the source. For example, the pow input file
now looks like this:
42.0, 42.0
1.0000000000000020, 1.5
I did this to unclutter the benchtests Makefile a bit and eventually
eliminate dependency of the tests on the Makefile and have tests
depend on their respective include files only.

This is the initial support for string function performance tests,
along with copying tests for memcpy and memcpy-ifunc as proof of
concept. The string function benchmarks perform operations at
different alignments and for different sizes and compare performance
between plain operations and the optimized string operations. Due to
this their output is incompatible with the function benchmarks where
we're interested in fastest time, throughput, etc.
In future, the correctness checks in the benchmark tests can be
removed. Same goes for the performance measurements in the
string/test-*.
