Git performance tests
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
This directory holds performance testing scripts for git tools. The
|
|
first part of this document describes the various ways in which you
|
|
can run them.
|
|
|
|
When fixing the tools or adding enhancements, you are strongly
|
|
encouraged to add tests in this directory to cover what you are
|
|
trying to fix or enhance. The later part of this short document
|
|
describes how your test scripts should be organized.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running Tests
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to run tests is to say "make". This runs all
|
|
the tests on the current git repository.
|
|
|
|
=== Running 2 tests in this tree ===

|
|
Test this tree
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
|
0001.1: rev-list --all 0.54(0.51+0.02)
|
|
0001.2: rev-list --all --objects 6.14(5.99+0.11)
|
|
7810.1: grep worktree, cheap regex 0.16(0.16+0.35)
|
|
7810.2: grep worktree, expensive regex 7.90(29.75+0.37)
|
|
7810.3: grep --cached, cheap regex 3.07(3.02+0.25)
|
|
7810.4: grep --cached, expensive regex 9.39(30.57+0.24)
|
|
|
|
You can compare multiple repositories and even git revisions with the
|
|
'run' script:
|
|
|
|
$ ./run . origin/next /path/to/git-tree p0001-rev-list.sh
|
|
|
|
where . stands for the current git tree. The full invocation is
|
|
|
|
./run [<revision|directory>...] [--] [<test-script>...]
|
|
|
|
A '.' argument is implied if you do not pass any other
|
|
revisions/directories.
|
|
|
|
You can also manually test this or another git build tree, and then
|
|
call the aggregation script to summarize the results:
|
|
|
|
$ ./p0001-rev-list.sh
|
|
[...]
|
|
$ GIT_BUILD_DIR=/path/to/other/git ./p0001-rev-list.sh
|
|
[...]
|
|
$ ./aggregate.perl . /path/to/other/git ./p0001-rev-list.sh
|
|
|
|
aggregate.perl has the same invocation as 'run', it just does not run
|
|
anything beforehand.
|
|
|
|
You can set the following variables (also in your config.mak):
|
|
|
|
GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT
|
|
Number of times a test should be repeated for best-of-N
|
|
measurements. Defaults to 3.
|
|
|
|
GIT_PERF_MAKE_OPTS
|
|
Options to use when automatically building a git tree for
|
|
performance testing. E.g., -j6 would be useful.
|
|
|
|
GIT_PERF_REPO
|
|
GIT_PERF_LARGE_REPO
|
|
Repositories to copy for the performance tests. The normal
|
|
repo should be at least git.git size. The large repo should
|
|
probably be about linux.git size for optimal results.
|
|
Both default to the git.git you are running from.
|
|
|
|
You can also pass the options taken by ordinary git tests; the most
|
|
useful one is:
|
|
|
|
--root=<directory>::
|
|
Create "trash" directories used to store all temporary data during
|
|
testing under <directory>, instead of the t/ directory.
|
|
Using this option with a RAM-based filesystem (such as tmpfs)
|
|
can massively speed up the test suite.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Naming Tests
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The performance test files are named as:
|
|
|
|
pNNNN-commandname-details.sh
|
|
|
|
where N is a decimal digit. The same conventions for choosing NNNN as
|
|
for normal tests apply.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Writing Tests
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The perf script starts much like a normal test script, except it
|
|
sources perf-lib.sh:
|
|
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
#
|
|
# Copyright (c) 2005 Junio C Hamano
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
test_description='xxx performance test'
|
|
. ./perf-lib.sh
|
|
|
|
After that you will want to use some of the following:
|
|
|
|
test_perf_default_repo # sets up a "normal" repository
|
|
test_perf_large_repo # sets up a "large" repository
|
|
|
|
test_perf_default_repo sub # ditto, in a subdir "sub"
|
|
|
|
test_checkout_worktree # if you need the worktree too
|
|
|
|
At least one of the first two is required!
|
|
|
|
You can use test_expect_success as usual. For actual performance
|
|
tests, use
|
|
|
|
test_perf 'descriptive string' '
|
|
command1 &&
|
|
command2
|
|
'
|
|
|
|
test_perf spawns a subshell, for lack of better options. This means
|
|
that
|
|
|
|
* you _must_ export all variables that you need in the subshell
|
|
|
|
* you _must_ flag all variables that you want to persist from the
|
|
subshell with 'test_export':
|
|
|
|
test_perf 'descriptive string' '
|
|
foo=$(git rev-parse HEAD) &&
|
|
test_export foo
|
|
'
|
|
|
|
The so-exported variables are automatically marked for export in the
|
|
shell executing the perf test. For your convenience, test_export is
|
|
the same as export in the main shell.
|
|
|
|
This feature relies on a bit of magic using 'set' and 'source'.
|
|
While we have tried to make sure that it can cope with embedded
|
|
whitespace and other special characters, it will not work with
|
|
multi-line data.
