hgweb: profile HTTP requests
Currently, running `hg serve --profile` doesn't yield anything useful:
when the process is terminated the profiling output displays results
from the main thread, which typically spends most of its time in
select.select(). Furthermore, it has no meaningful results from
mercurial.* modules because the threads serving HTTP requests don't
actually get profiled.
This patch teaches the hgweb wsgi applications to profile individual
requests. If profiling is enabled, the profiler kicks in after
HTTP/WSGI environment processing but before Mercurial's main request
processing.
The profile results are printed to the configured profiling output.
If running `hg serve` from a shell, they will be printed to stderr,
just before the HTTP request line is logged. If profiling to a file,
we only write a single profile to the file because the file is not
opened in append mode. We could add support for appending to files
in a future patch if someone wants it.
Per request profiling doesn't work with the statprof profiler because
internally that profiler collects samples from the thread that
*initially* requested profiling be enabled. I have plans to address
this by vendoring Facebook's customized statprof and then improving
it.
Create a repository:
$ hg config
defaults.backout=-d "0 0"
defaults.commit=-d "0 0"
defaults.shelve=--date "0 0"
defaults.tag=-d "0 0"
devel.all-warnings=true
extensions.chgserver= (?)
largefiles.usercache=$TESTTMP/.cache/largefiles (glob)
ui.slash=True
ui.interactive=False
ui.mergemarkers=detailed
ui.promptecho=True
$ hg init t
$ cd t
Make a changeset:
$ echo a > a
$ hg add a
$ hg commit -m test
This command is ancient:
$ hg history
changeset: 0:acb14030fe0a
tag: tip
user: test

Verify that updating to revision 0 via commands.update() works properly
$ cat <<EOF > update_to_rev0.py
> from mercurial import ui, hg, commands
> myui = ui.ui()
> repo = hg.repository(myui, path='.')
> commands.update(myui, repo, rev=0)
> EOF
$ hg up null
0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ python ./update_to_rev0.py
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg identify -n

Poke around at hashes:
$ hg manifest --debug

$ hg cat a
a
Verify should succeed:
$ hg verify
