Hi.

That sounds very promising! I would like to see it being used in our openSUSE
package. Are you planning to use it?

Thanks,
Martin

For the dwz openSUSE package I follow the usual strategy: backport
bugfixes and upgrade to newer releases, once available.

So, the intention is that this lands in openSUSE with the next release.
I'm currently working on a dwz bug fix, and if that is done, and I
manage to finalize the odr stuff as well, I think it'll be time for a
new release.

Thanks,

Hi,

I've been working on performance improvements for dwz, using a cc1
binary as my optimization vehicle.

Comparing the situation:
- before (commit 04a676d Add --devel-partition-dups-opt), and
- after (current master, commit e405c62 Add --devel-die-count-method
  {none,estimate})
I get the following results.

When avoiding running into the low-mem die-limit using -lnone, we get
~25% performance improvement, due to an improved hash function and an
improved hash table allocation strategy (without increasing peak memory
usage):
...
real:  mean:  7378.10  100.00%  stddev:  45.31
       mean:  5558.80   75.34%  stddev:  35.18
user:  mean:  7106.30  100.00%  stddev:  41.53
       mean:  5328.10   74.98%  stddev:  22.33
sys:   mean:   271.60  100.00%  stddev:  39.57
       mean:   230.00   84.68%  stddev:  40.45
...

And if we don't avoid running into the low-mem die-limit, we get ~38%
performance improvement:
...
real:  mean:  15084.80 100.00%  stddev:  44.53
       mean:   9232.90  61.21%  stddev:  41.80
user:  mean:  14759.40 100.00%  stddev:  30.62
       mean:   9100.10  61.66%  stddev:  41.75
sys:   mean:    324.00 100.00%  stddev:  39.51
       mean:    132.00  40.74%  stddev:  27.26
...
which is also paired with a reduction in peak memory usage of ~34%, from
0.95GB to 0.63GB, due to running into the low-mem die-limit in a more
efficient manner.

Thanks,
- Tom

Hello.

I've made couple of experiments with dwz speed. I've taken the following packages:
gcc, krita, libetonyek, rtags, sysdig and run dwz -m x ... for them.

There are numbers I collected for the following configurations:
dwz (system package, built with LTO and -O2), dwz-O2_lto is supposed
to be the same (built from source), then I experimented with -O3 and PGO
(based on tramp3d copies 4 times). And the final run is experimental patch
I have that replaces the iterative_hash with xxhash:
https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash

# 1/5: sysdig (60M)
dwz                   : 10.0
dwz                   : 9.8 (98.7%)
dwz-O2_lto            : 9.5 (95.6%)
dwz-O3_lto            : 9.2 (91.9%)
dwz-O3_lto_pgo        : 8.1 (81.3%)
dwz-O3_lto_pgo_xxhash : 7.3 (72.9%)
# 2/5: rtags (148M)
dwz                   : 19.6
dwz                   : 19.6 (99.9%)
dwz-O2_lto            : 17.4 (89.0%)
dwz-O3_lto            : 16.7 (85.4%)
dwz-O3_lto_pgo        : 14.4 (73.6%)
dwz-O3_lto_pgo_xxhash : 13.2 (67.6%)
# 3/5: libetonyek (112M)
dwz                   : 10.5
dwz                   : 10.5 (100.6%)
dwz-O2_lto            : 10.8 (102.8%)
dwz-O3_lto            : 10.1 (96.7%)
dwz-O3_lto_pgo        : 9.1 (87.4%)
dwz-O3_lto_pgo_xxhash : 8.1 (77.1%)
# 4/5: krita (685M)
dwz                   : 133.7
dwz                   : 134.3 (100.5%)
dwz-O2_lto            : 95.3 (71.3%)
dwz-O3_lto            : 91.2 (68.2%)
dwz-O3_lto_pgo        : 78.9 (59.0%)
dwz-O3_lto_pgo_xxhash : 71.6 (53.5%)
# 5/5: gcc (1.2G)
dwz                   : 61.9
dwz                   : 61.9 (99.9%)
dwz-O2_lto            : 58.5 (94.5%)
dwz-O3_lto            : 56.6 (91.3%)
dwz-O3_lto_pgo        : 54.1 (87.4%)
dwz-O3_lto_pgo_xxhash : 51.7 (83.4%)

So as seen, using -O3 really help, one gets a bigger binary, but as dwz is small
it's negligible:

bloaty dwz-O3_lto -- dwz-O2_lto
     FILE SIZE        VM SIZE
  --------------  --------------
    +28% +50.3Ki  [ = ]       0    .debug_loclists

   -3.1%     -21  -3.1%     -21    [LOAD #2 [RX]]
  -61.0% -2.20Ki  [ = ]       0    [Unmapped]
    +16%  +124Ki   +13% +26.2Ki    TOTAL

Then, PGO also helps significantly. And finally, using xxhash one can get 5-10% percent
improvement.

For now I'm suggesting using -O3 and PGO for our openSUSE package:
https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/942235

Upstream questions I have:
- What about changing -O2 with -O3 by default?
- Are you interested in the xxhash patch? Do you want it as a conditional build
   or may I replace the currently existing hash function?

Cheers,
Martin

Hi Martin,

I noticed that this is a reply to a thread from 2 years ago. Is it
related to the work mentioned by Tom in that thread?

Did you test that without -flto? If it still gets a ~5% speedup then I
like that idea. Or maybe we should also include -flto by default?

I think it is best to simply replace the existing hash function
instead of making it a conditional thing.

Does it rely on having the libxxhash dynamic library available or
would we simply embed a copy (replacing the hashtab.[ch] files)?

Cheers,

Mark

Hello.

It's related only a bit as it's also connected to Performance improvements :)

Yep:

# 1/5: sysdig (60M)
dwz_O2                : 9.7
dwz_O2_xxhash         : 8.5 (87.7%)
# 2/5: rtags (58M)
dwz_O2                : 17.6
dwz_O2_xxhash         : 15.8 (89.5%)
# 3/5: libetonyek (91M)
dwz_O2                : 10.8
dwz_O2_xxhash         : 9.4 (86.7%)
# 4/5: krita (685M)
dwz_O2                : 96.0
dwz_O2_xxhash         : 85.6 (89.1%)
# 5/5: gcc (1.2G)
dwz_O2                : 58.6
dwz_O2_xxhash         : 54.1 (92.4%)

Well, it's probably something that can be decided by distributions. Maybe, we can
add a default dwz.spec file?

Fine, I'm going to prepare a patch.

I would not do that as it may become obsolete quite fast. I would rather use a standard
shared library (similarly to libelf).
