FIB lookup walks a route's groups twice, making a cached entry count look like an obvious per-packet win. Measurements show the opposite for common one-group routes: the larger FibRoute costs more than the second cache-hot walk, with gains appearing only around eight groups. Add Criterion coverage across route shapes and assert each fixture hits the installed prefix before timing it. Signed-off-by: Daniel Noland <daniel@githedgehog.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Timing small lookup changes is noisy across machines, while timing alone cannot explain where work changed. Add an iai-callgrind harness beside the Criterion benchmark and package Valgrind in Nix. Document the measured limitation: instruction counts are repeatable enough to gate, but can miss regressions caused by larger data structures and real cache behavior. Signed-off-by: Daniel Noland <daniel@githedgehog.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Valgrind tools can produce precise answers about the wrong workload. Cachegrind counts the whole process and collapses cache levels, while its emulated CPU makes DPDK choose different code paths and omit production AVX-512. Record those limits, the value of realistic fixtures, and when to reach for Callgrind, DHAT, Massif, or Cachegrind. Signed-off-by: Daniel Noland <daniel@githedgehog.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Criterion and Callgrind duplicated their route shapes, fixture builder, and measured body. They could drift while still appearing comparable, and they already timed different regions because only Criterion hoisted the read guard. Move all three definitions into a common module and generate each harness's shape declarations from one macro. Signed-off-by: Daniel Noland <daniel@githedgehog.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Raw Callgrind records are hard to review, and persistent baselines make a result depend on which runner recorded them. Add a bench-compare recipe and Markdown renderer that run base and head on the same machine, then report a headline, metric table, and thresholded chart. Document the intended CI workflow without adding an untested commenting job. Signed-off-by: Daniel Noland <daniel@githedgehog.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The report selected the largest percentage change, allowing modelled cycles to outrank the more reliable instruction count. It could also call a change a win when fewer instructions came from a larger structure that ran slower on real hardware. Headline instructions and heap bytes, and document disagreements between work and memory as a reason to measure timing. Signed-off-by: Daniel Noland <daniel@githedgehog.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Benchmark commands crowded the root justfile, and its Criterion loop also matched the Callgrind binary. That reran the target under Valgrind and could overwrite a saved comparison baseline. Move the commands into a bench module, give each operation a subcommand, and exclude *_callgrind from the Criterion loop. Signed-off-by: Daniel Noland <daniel@githedgehog.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Nix benchmark recipe inherited the debug profile, producing plausible timings roughly nine times slower and without release inlining. Criterion's HTML support was also disabled, and file URLs could not load report assets. Require release builds, enable the shared HTML features without parallel sampling, and add a static report server usable by benchmarks and coverage. Signed-off-by: Daniel Noland <daniel@githedgehog.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Benchmark arguments were sent to the Nix build instead of the Criterion binaries, so callers could not select one benchmark. A full run takes more than thirty minutes, mostly in rte_acl rule-count sweeps. Forward arguments to each binary as filters so iteration can target the relevant case. Signed-off-by: Daniel Noland <daniel@githedgehog.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
static-web-server listens on every interface by default, so serving a local coverage report exposed the source tree to anything that could reach the port.

iai-callgrind depends on bincode 1.3.3, whose maintenance advisory makes the dependency check fail. No upgrade exists because that release is considered complete. Allow the advisory and record that the package is confined to development and absent from shipped artifacts, so the exception remains reviewable. Signed-off-by: Daniel Noland <daniel@githedgehog.com>
bench-compare checked only whether target/iai existed, and any Callgrind run creates that directory. Because a missing --baseline still exits successfully, the save path then became unreachable and comparisons never gained a baseline. Check for the requested baseline's files before choosing whether to save or compare. Signed-off-by: Daniel Noland <daniel@githedgehog.com>
Just modules do not inherit root variables, so moving the benchmark recipes hid features, platform, libc, kernel, instrumentation, and job settings. The documented DPDK command therefore built without DPDK and could not run its benches. Return the recipes to the root with a real build dependency, preserve the harness fixes, and reject non-release benchmark profiles. Signed-off-by: Daniel Noland <daniel@githedgehog.com>
Eight remaining tests took 41 to 416 seconds under Miri but no more than six seconds under qemu. Some spend one whole Bolero case building an allocator; others are fixed sweeps whose size is the property being tested. Skip them only under Miri so native and qemu runs keep the full coverage. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Noland <daniel@githedgehog.com>
Shortening the packet loops left FIB concurrency tests at 44 and 10 seconds under Miri because spawning and joining six or four OS threads dominated the work. Limit emulated runs to two workers, which still races a reader against the writer and roughly halves both times. Native fan-out remains unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Noland <daniel@githedgehog.com>
The full-range allocation property is too slow under emulation. Extend its existing Miri-only exclusion to all emulated targets while retaining native coverage. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Noland <daniel@githedgehog.com>
Another 472 properties each ran into the 30-second Bolero limit, consuming 32% of the Miri job's CPU. These are multi-case properties, so the budget can bound them after the pathological single cases are removed. Reduce it to ten seconds, accepting roughly 62 draws instead of 166; emulation-aware vacuity guards already disable thresholds this would violate.

The runner provides ten cgroup cores, but Miri capped builds and nextest at eight. That left capacity idle once the single-test critical path was removed. Raise both limits to ten. Concurrency tests still reserve eight seeds and continue to run one at a time. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Noland <daniel@githedgehog.com>
coverage/fuzz exhausts runner memory and blocks the pipeline on several PRs and every main push because the gates enable all profiles broadly. Remove the fuzz entry from the coverage matrix while its restoration is tracked. coverage/debug continues to upload results and satisfy the required summary dependency.

`main()` is called as a bare statement, so `return 1` was discarded and the process still exited 0: a typo in `--threshold` printed the error, emitted no report, and told the caller everything was fine. The usage error a few lines below already used `Deno.exit`. Verified: `--threshold=abc` now exits 1, missing arguments still exit 2.

The fixture read through `FibWriter::enter`, which is a bare `ReadHandle::enter`. Every production lookup goes through `FibReader::enter`, which additionally loads and branches on `fib.valid`. The benchmark therefore understated a lookup by that load and branch -- against a floor of 27 instructions, not a rounding error. Keep a `FibReader` in the fixture and read through it, in the measured workload and in the setup assertion. The writer stays only to own the write side. Confirmed the reader really is readable after setup: `cargo bench --bench fib_lookup -- --test` passes, which it would not if `valid` were false.

Attach the Miri ignore to the intended test.
translation_touches_only_the_source ends at Line 323. This attribute appears at Line 326, so Rust applies it to the next item. Miri will still run the 41-second test. Move the attribute immediately before the intended test declaration.
