Austin Clements 6a44a3aa9f test/bench/go1: eliminate start-up time
The go1 benchmark suite does a lot of work at package init time, which
makes it take quite a while to run even if you're not running any of
the benchmarks, or if you're only running a subset of them. This leads
to an awkward workaround in dist test to compile but not run the
package, unlike roughly all other packages. It also reduces isolation
between benchmarks by affecting the starting heap size of all
benchmarks.

Fix this by initializing all data required by a benchmark when that
benchmark runs, and keeping it local so it gets freed by the GC and
doesn't leak between benchmarks. Now, none of the benchmarks depend on
global state.

Re-initializing the data on each benchmark run does add overhead to an
actual benchmark run, as each benchmark function is called several
times with different values of b.N. A full run of all benchmarks at
the default -benchtime=1s now takes ~10% longer; higher -benchtimes
would be less. It would be quite difficult to cache this data between
invocations of the same benchmark function without leaking between
different benchmarks and affecting GC overheads, as the testing
package doesn't provide any mechanism for this.

This reduces the time to run the binary with no benchmarks from 1.5
seconds to 10 ms, and also reduces the memory required to do this from
342 MiB to 17 MiB.

To make sure data was not leaking between different benchmarks, I ran
the benchmarks with -shuffle=on. The variance remained low: mostly
under 3%. A few benchmarks had higher variance, but in all cases it
was similar to the variance between this change.

This CL naturally changes the measured performance of several of the
benchmarks because it dramatically changes the heap size and hence GC
overheads. However, going forward the benchmarks should be much better
isolated.

For #37486.

The test directory contains tests of the Go tool chain and runtime. It includes black box tests, regression tests, and error output tests. They are run as part of all.bash.

To run just these tests, execute:

../bin/go run run.go

To run just tests from specified files in this directory, execute:

../bin/go run run.go -- file1.go file2.go ...

Standard library tests should be written as regular Go tests in the appropriate package.

The tool chain and runtime also have regular Go tests in their packages. The main reasons to add a new test to this directory are:

  • it is most naturally expressed using the test runner; or
  • it is also applicable to gccgo and other Go tool chains.
