Take for exp-run ,  it will take around a week.

Comment 2 Antoine Brodin 2014-09-29 19:48:43 UTC

ok,  which of those 3 do you want to compare:

1) D473 with options PAX_ASLR and options PAX_SYSCTLS
2) D473 without options PAX_ASLR and options PAX_SYSCTLS
3) vanilla kernel

Comment 3 Dag-Erling Smørgrav 2014-10-02 08:33:04 UTC

Can you do all three?  Unless the hardware is identical to the official package builder, in which case we already have a baseline.

All three would be best. Can you also monitor the build time of world+kernel with the patches? You need to build/install at least the kernel anyways, so getting metrics of the build would also kill two birds with one stone.

Comment 8 Antoine Brodin 2014-10-04 15:24:09 UTC

I attached the build times for the 3 scenarios, the precision is 1 second.

There were 2 new reproducible failures with ASLR on:

devel/plan9port
lang/phantomjs

Failure logs:

Those failure do not happen without ASLR.

Thank you! So that tells us that having ASLR on gives us better performance than without ASLR compiled in at all. A savings of 7984 seconds, just over two hours.

Comment 10 Antoine Brodin 2014-10-04 16:12:04 UTC

I don't think so,  building phantomjs takes around 2 hours when it succeeds ;-)

Ah, so we're probably right in line with performance, then.

EXP-RUN done as requested.  New bug request should be submitted if desired.
