stream-clone: disable gc for the initial section for the v3 format
The number of small container created turn Python in a gc-frenzy that seriously
impact performance.
This significantly boost performance. The following number comes from a large
private repository using perf::stream-locked-section:
base-line: 35.04 seconds
prev-change: 24.51 seconds (-30%)
prev-change: 20.88 seconds (-40%)
this-change: 14.22 seconds (-60% from baseline; -31% from prev)
How to add fuzzers (partially cribbed from oss-fuzz[0]):
1) git clone https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz
2) cd oss-fuzz
3) python infra/helper.py build_image mercurial
4) docker run --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE -it -v $HG_REPO_PATH:/hg-new \
gcr.io/oss-fuzz/mercurial bash
5) cd /src
6) rm -r mercurial
7) ln -s /hg-new mercurial
8) cd mercurial
9) compile
10) ls $OUT
Step 9 is literally running the command "compile", which is part of
the docker container. Once you have that working, you can build the
fuzzers like this (in the oss-fuzz repo):
python infra/helper.py build_fuzzers --sanitizer address mercurial $HG_REPO_PATH
(you can also say "memory", "undefined" or "coverage" for
sanitizer). Then run the built fuzzers like this:
python infra/helper.py run_fuzzer mercurial -- $FUZZER
