This benchmark can take longer than the default 2 seconds on slower
platforms, so increase it to 10 seconds.
ChangeLog:
2014-03-26 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* benchtests/bench-strtod.c (TIMEOUT): Define to 10.

It makes much more sense to have all benchmarking-related scripts in a
single place away from everything else.
|
|
Implemented the benchmark script in python since it is much cleaner
and simpler to maintain.
|
|
We include a generic version of strtok to result which could be faster
when underlying primitives are better optimized than current version.

In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00196.html> I
noted it was necessary to add includes of Makeconfig early in various
subdirectory makefiles for the tests-special variable settings added
by that patch to be conditional on configuration information. No-one
commented on the general question there of whether Makeconfig should
always be included immediately after the definition of subdir.
This patch implements that early inclusion of Makeconfig in each
directory (which is a lot easier than consistent placement of includes
of Rules). Includes are added if needed, or moved up if already
present. Subdirectory "all:" targets are removed, since Makeconfig
provides one.
There is potential for further cleanups I haven't done. Rules and
Makerules have code such as
ifneq "$(findstring env,$(origin headers))" ""
headers :=
endif
to override to empty any value of various variables that came from the
environment. I think there is a case for Makeconfig setting all the
subdirectory variables (other than subdir) to empty to ensure no
outside value is going to take effect if a subdirectory fails to
define a variable. (A list of such variables, possibly out of date
and incomplete, is in manual/maint.texi.) Rules and Makerules would
give errors if Makeconfig hadn't already been included, instead of
including it themselves. The special code to override values coming
from the environment would then be obsolete and could be removed.
Tested x86_64, including that installed binaries are identical before
and after the patch.

The return criteria of strrchr() is to read till NULL even if the
search character is hit. So its better to print len instead of pos.
|
|
|
|
We have multiple tests that copy & paste the same logic for disabling the
fortification output. Let's unify this in the test-skeleton instead.

The inputs for the slowest path in asin and acos were incorrect and
had some fast path inputs there too.
|
|
|
|
Add a comprehensive number of inputs for all branches in sin and cos
computation, excluding the fast paths. This also adds a number of
inputs for the multiple precision slow paths.
|
|
Add a more comprehensive set of inputs for the atan function. I have
also fixed the name on the multiple precision fallback inputs (I
couldn't find any new inputs there) to reflect the fact that the
fallback is only 144bits and not 768bits as I had earlier mentioned.
|
|
|
|
Like sinh and cosh, this patch has benchmark inputs for asinh and
acosh, generated using a random number generator and spread over
significant branches, ignoring the fast return paths.
|

Add a full set of inputs for sinh and cosh functions generated using a
random number generator and spreading it over all branches in the
function, ignoring the fast paths (i.e. immediate return for special
values).
|
|
Add a comprehensive set of inputs for asin and acos functions,
including the multiple precision fallback path.

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);

* benchtests/bench-timing.h: Include time.h.

These inputs cover all normal processing paths for pow including all
its slow paths.
|
|
A more comprehensive set of inputs for exp, including all slow paths.
The inputs have been shuffled so that they don't give a false-positive
due to a hot cache.
|
|
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.

The TIMING_INIT macro currently sets the number of loop iterations
to 1000, which limits usefulness. Make the argument a clock
resolution value and multiply by 1000 in bench-skeleton.c instead
to allow easier reuse.
ChangeLog:
2013-09-11 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* benchtests/bench-timing.h (TIMING_INIT): Rename ITERS
parameter to RES. Remove hardcoded 1000 value.
* benchtests/bench-skeleton.c (main): Pass RES parameter
to TIMING_INIT and multiply result by 1000.

Switch the string benchmarks to using bench-timing.h instead
of hp-timing.h directly. This allows the string benchmarks to
be run usefully on architectures such as ARM that do not have
support for hp-timing.h.
In order to do this the tests have been changed from timing each
individual call and picking the lowest execution time recorded to
timing a number of calls and taking the mean execution time.
ChangeLog:
2013-09-04 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* benchtests/bench-timing.h (TIMING_PRINT_MEAN): New macro.
* benchtests/bench-string.h: Include bench-timing.h instead
of including hp-timing.h directly. (INNER_LOOP_ITERS): New
define. (HP_TIMING_BEST): Delete macro. (test_init): Remove
call to HP_TIMING_DIFF_INIT.

LDFLAGS puts the library too early in the command line if --as-needed

Check wheter the compiler has the option -fno-tree-loop-distribute-patterns
to inhibit loop transformation to library calls and uses it on memset
and memmove default implementation to avoid recursive calls.

There were a few more string benchmarks (strcpy_chk and stpcpy_check)
in the debug directory that needed to be ported over.
|
|
Copy over already existing string performance tests into benchtests.
Bits not related to performance measurements have been omitted.
|
|
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-*.

When setting BENCH_DURATION in CPPFLAGS-nonlib, append to the variable
instead of assigning to it, to avoid overwriting earlier set flags,
notably the -DNOT_IN_libc=1 flag.

Add benchmark inputs for inverse and hyperbolic trigonometric
functions and log.
|
|
Move instructions from the Makefile here and expand on them.

Resolves: #15424
The compiler would optimize the benchmark function call out of the
loop and call it only once, resulting in blazingly fast times for some
benchmarks (notably atan, sin and cos). Mark the inputs as volatile
so that the code is forced to read again from the input for each
iteration.

HP_TIMING uses native timestamping instructions if available, thus
greatly reducing the overhead of recording start and end times for
function calls. For architectures that don't have HP_TIMING
available, we fall back to the clock_gettime bits. One may also
override this by invoking the benchmark as follows:
make USE_CLOCK_GETTIME=1 bench
and get the benchmark results using clock_gettime. One has to do
`make bench-clean` to ensure that the benchmark programs are rebuilt.
|
|
|
|
A benchmark could be skewed by CPU initialy working on minimal
frequency and speeding up later. We first run code in loop
to partialy fix this issue.

Some math functions have distinct performance characteristics in
specific domains of inputs, where some inputs return via a fast path
while other inputs require multiple precision calculations, that too
at different precision levels. The way to implement different domains
was to have a separate source file and benchmark definition, resulting
in separate programs.
This clutters up the benchmark, so this change allows these domains to
be consolidated into the same input file. To do this, the input file
format is now enhanced to allow comments with a preceding # and
directives with two # at the begining of a line. A directive that
looks like:
tells the benchmark generation script that what follows is a different
domain of inputs. The value of the 'name' directive (in this case,
foo) is used in the output. The two input domains are then executed
sequentially and their results collated separately. with the above
directive, there would be two lines in the result that look like:
func(): ....
func(foo): ...

The idea to run benchmarks for a constant number of iterations is
problematic. While the benchmarks may run for 10 seconds on x86_64,
they could run for about 30 seconds on powerpc and worse, over 3
minutes on arm. Besides that, adding a new benchmark is cumbersome
since one needs to find out the number of iterations needed for a
sufficient runtime.
A better idea would be to run each benchmark for a specific amount of
time. This patch does just that. The run time defaults to 10 seconds
and it is configurable at command line:
make BENCH_DURATION=5 bench
