I told Ted about how a large number of pgc (profile data) files  were in a folder that gets deleted before the pgc files get used to optimize Thunderbird.  It turns out that this folder gets clobbered to make sure if some one rebuilt their try after removing a component that it would not still be there.  Ted suggest adding a flag that <code>ifndef MOZ_PROFILE_USE</code> then go ahead and clobber it otherwise don't.<br /><br />
 +
That is only one part of it.  The pgc files need to be merged into their corresponding pgd (program database) files but the script that does this only looks in one directory.  I think I can just tell it to look in both locations.  The <code>pgomerge.py</code> does not return errors for files not found.<br /><br />

Ted also said I should create another bug about this - how components can't be PGO'd on Win32.

Project Name

PGO Related Bugs

Project Description

Firefox crashes or experiences bugs after creating PGO builds on Windows. The focus of this project is to determine what is causing these crashes or bugs and either patch/fix them or find solutions to allow for the optimizations without incurring the problems.

As of Oct 2nd:
Profiling Firefox to increase the number of functions optimized in the PGO build of Firefox.

Project Leader(s)

Project Contributor(s)

Contributors are needed for help on profiling Firefox to improve PGO on Firefox.

What contributions are needed?

  • What should be profiled?
  • A write up on steps to produce profile.
  • Creating scripts to execute profile steps.


Name Contribution
Chris Bishop ( Example ) Script to open and close Firefox.



  • Need some bash scripting help.
  • I'm on IRC as chrisBee
Name Script Contribution
Chinmay Patel Created a small script to search and replace a piece of text in a file.

Project Tasks

Task Details Priority Status Target Link(s) or Notes
Compile Firefox PGO Compile the trunk of Firefox using make -f client.mk profiledbuild. High Done 0.1 R
Reproduce PGO Bugs or Crashes I need to reproduce the bugs or crashes other people were experiencing with their pgo builds. High Done 0.1 R Unable to reproduce. Focusing on profiling Firefox. Blog Post
Compile Firefox PGO Tests Compile Firefox with VS 2005 and Vista SDK and compile with VS 2008 w/o Vista SDK. Low Not Started 0.3 R
Determine 0.1 Release I need to determine what I'll be releasing for the 0.1 Release. High Done Sept 28th, 2008
Scenario Scripts I need a script that will build multiple PGO builds in different directories using different profiling scenarios. High Done Oct 24th, 2008 I need some help from contributors to help me accomplish this. **Update** Thanks to Chinmay and Dave Humphrey I was able to create this script.
Create SQLite Upstream Bug I have determined the pgo bug is actually with SQLite and it needs to be added to the upstream for it to be worked on. High On Going Oct 24th, 2008 Looking into how to actual do this
0.2 Release
Setup Test Environment I need to setup a test environment to duplicate the testing done on Thunderbird. High Done Nov 4th, 2008 I have this VM setup but I am not using yet since my XP OS that is not on a VM is much faster.

December 6th Ted Mielczarek

I told Ted about how a large number of pgc (profile data) files were in a folder that gets deleted before the pgc files get used to optimize Thunderbird. It turns out that this folder gets clobbered to make sure if some one rebuilt their try after removing a component that it would not still be there. Ted suggest adding a flag that ifndef MOZ_PROFILE_USE then go ahead and clobber it otherwise don't.

That is only one part of it. The pgc files need to be merged into their corresponding pgd (program database) files but the script that does this only looks in one directory. I think I can just tell it to look in both locations. The pgomerge.py does not return errors for files not found.

Ted also said I should create another bug about this - how components can't be PGO'd on Win32.

Patches

Here is the patch for bug 465592.
Here is the proposed patches for bug 468285.

Releases

0.1 Release

Reproduce bug(s)
Was able to reproduce bug for sqlite pgo.
Document how to reproduce bug(s).
To enable PGO for sqlite a line must be commented in a make file.

in path/to/src/db/sqlite/src/Makefile.in
add a hash to the line NO_PROFILE_GUIDED_OPTIMIZE = 1
should look like #NO_PROFILE_GUIDED_OPTIMIZE = 1
The build firefox with make -f client.mk profiledbuild
in the .mozconfig file you'll need an extra parameter mk_add_options PROFILE_GEN_SCRIPT="sh script/to/run.sh"
My Script file has the following: 

export NO_EM_RESTART=1 #this means 'do not restart for any reason' during automation we do not want any restarting

mkdir $OBJDIR/_profileprofile 
cd $OBJDIR/_tests/testing/mochitest
python runtests.py --test-path=browser/ --autorun --close-when-done
Hone in on cause of bug(s).
Turns out the bug is in the sqlite3.c file. I can reproduce the error when creating a stand alone sqlite application and enabling PGO on the application.
Running xpcshell and Mochitest against PGO build.
Since firefox right out crashes I am unable to run Mochitests but the xpcshell tests do run until they hit the storage tests.
Create strategy for profiling Firefox to improve performance.
I tried different approaches to profiling for Firefox to improve its performance but I was not able to help it at all. I have concluded that the existing script of opening and closing the browser is more than enough for profiling. The browser is rendered using the same components to render and load web pages this means profiling the loading and rendering of the browser will optimize the rendering and loading of web pages.
Deliverable
I have updated the bug 419893 with how to reproduce the bug, a text file of the errors, a zip file with the source code for my test app to produce pgo errors with sqlite as a stand alone app.

0.2 Release

Setup Testing Environment
Created Windows 2003 Server VM - but I am still using my faster Windows XP OS since it is not a VM. The test environment will be used to verify performance data once testing of PGO begins. Either in 0.3 or beyond.
Compile Thunderbird with PGO
I successfully compiled Thunderbird with PGO. It required modifying a file. I blogged about it here.
Compile Steps
I also have the steps to compile Thunderbird with PGO here.
Contribute to Existing Bug
The bug Profiledbuild doesn't work on comm-central 448515 has been re-opened and I have posted my success results on this bug.
Add PGO to one module
This will be pushed back to 0.3 Release

0.3 Release

Patch to enable PGO for Thunderbird on Windows
I created a new bug for allow PGO for Thunderbird on Windows and my patch has made it into the mozilla-core.

This is the patch that landed.

Add PGO to one module
It turns out that by default each module is optimized for size if using PGO. The problem that arose from this was the profile data was being collect but not used. The profile data was getting deleted at the beginning of the build cycle.
Create a new bug for deleted profile data

Problem 1 is the profile data in the dist/bin/components folder is getting deleted. Problem 2 is even if the profile data wasn't getting deleted the pgomerge.py script is not looking for profile data in the dist/bin/components folder anyways. This means that any component that are profiled are not getting optimized.
Here are the patches I'm proposing.
I created a new bug for this problem.

Details of optimizing Thunderbird
Using the proposed patches 74 objects were profiled and 69 were optimized. Here are the details.

Errors

  • Build Environment:
    • Windows XP (32-bit)

Oct 14th, 2008 Through the contribution of a fellow student I was able to create a script to automate multiple PGO Builds.
Oct 11th, 2008 I checked my performance tests again this time including a pgo build with no profiling and Google Maps was 45% on both Minefields. Regardless of the profiling.
Oct 10th, 2008 Updated the contributions section for help with creating bash shell scripts.
Oct 10th, 2008 Made a pgo performance chart. Google Maps was 45% faster in my pgo build after I profiled the site.
Oct 8th, 2008 Still receiving 35 failed tests even when I have no windows open and am not at the computer.
Oct 8th, 2008 Ted mentioned on IRC that the 35 failed tests may of happened because I was moving my mouse during the tests. Which I was. I'm going to try the tests again.
Oct 7th, 2008 Using pgomgr I am able to see what profiling data has been collected.
Oct 4th, 2008 A build of Firefox without PGO resulted in 35 failed Tests in Mochitest. Xpcshell passed just fine. At this time the tree is closed so I cannot get the latest bug free version.
Oct 2nd, 2008 After talking with Ted and Dave Humphrey I am going to focus my project on increasing the profiling of Firefox to increase its speed.

I am also enabling the modules that have PGO disable and running the xpcshell and Mochitests on them to determine if they are still broken or if they are now working.
