Performance logs

triage logs 2023-06-13

Our build pipeline got sped up by PR #112012, which side-steps one of the rustc
rebuilds we were suffering with before. (There is further potential speed-up by
caching LLVM, as noted by on that PR.) Other than that, various small
regressions that are largely noise, as well as one unexpected increase in binary
sizes from PR #109005 that we should follow up on.

Triage done by @pnkfelix.

  • only primary benchmark to regress was helloworld (3 incr check variants), and not by all that much (relatively speaking)
  • secondary regressions were mainly to unify-linearly, await-call-tree, token-stream-stress.
  • impact seems acceptable, marking as triaged.

Uplift clippy::undropped_manually_drops lint #111530 (Comparison Link)

  • only primary benchmark to regress was helloworld (3 incr check variants), and not by all that much (relatively speaking)
  • secondary regressions were solely to unify-linearly, await-call-tree, token-stream-stress.
  • impact seems acceptable (one expects new lint to add some amount of extra work, and I wouldn't be surprised if this is actually noise,. given #112116 above).
  • marking as triaged.

  • primary regressions are to serde (check, debug, opt) and also cargo + webrender (both check)
  • This PR added some extra work to the compiler to ensure some lazily-filled in tables are constructed correctly.
  • Therefore, this seems like extra work that is largely unavoidable.
  • marking as triaged.

  • One of the rolled up PRs, PR #112528, is itself a partial revert of PR #110221, which yields the large compile-time losses noted here (solely for helloworld, it is worth noting).
  • the point is, the gains were 1. accidental 2. isolated to a toy and 3. due to an unintended change (which was now reverted).
  • marking as triaged.

  • primary regressions were to stm32f4-0.14.0 check+opt incr, but by a really small amount (0.18%).
  • marking as triaged.

Improvements

Avoid one rustc rebuild in the optimized build pipeline #112012 (Comparison Link)

All (primary) -0.8% [-1.6%, 0.5%] 28
  • Interesting case where removing PGO data improved a class of benchmarks
  • Specifically, nearly all the improvements were to debug builds
  • this makes sense, because the PGO data we were gathering was during rustc bootstrap, which does not exercise the debug build paths.

  • changes are all to secondary benchmarks
  • only notable was coercions debug incr-full regressing by 5.7%, but that's acceptable given what we expect benefits to be here w.r.t. codegen.
  • marking as triaged.

  • effects are all to secondary benchmarks
  • effects are small enough that they would not block an LLVM upgrade
  • marking as triaged.

  • sole regression is to secondary coercions debug incr-full.
  • not worth dissecting this rollup for that.
  • marking as triaged.

  • instruction counts regressed (expected) and binary sizes regressed (which may have been unexpected).
  • specifically the binary sizes for libc and syn both regressed on the order of 3%.
  • not marking as triaged until we get confirmation that it is expected for the metadata in question to leak into the binary sizes being measured.

  • currently guessing that the regression here might be due to PR #109953.
  • doing a specific rust-timer run now to check that, not marking as triaged for now.
