While staring at gopls execution patterns, I noticed surprisingly low CPU utilization while awaiting go list results. This got me excited that perhaps there was still some room for optimization.

I hooked up runtime/trace to cmd/go, and observed the following result while loading kubernetes using go/packages:

The circled regions appear to be pre- and post- processing packages in a single thread, the bulk of which amounts to sorting of dependencies. This should be possible to parallelize.

The middle region looks like recursive loading of imports, involving a mixture of I/O, and therefore does not achieve high CPU utilization. It's possible that this could also be optimized.

Overall, if we could reduce this 4.6s load time, it could have significant impact on gopls startup. (background: we're working to heavily optimize gopls via on-disk caching, and while historically go list has been a small fraction of load time, it has become the majority of load time). Eyeballing the trace, I would not be surprised if it would be easy to shave off 1s, and possible (but hard) to shave off 2s. :)

The runtime/trace package proved useful for investigating go command
performance, and it makes sense (to me) to make this available for
development behind an undocumented flag, at the cost of ~25KB of binary
size. We could of course futher hide this functionality behind an
experiment or build tag, if necessary.

Instead, do the cycle checking in recompileForTest once the test
variant packages have been poked in the right places in the dependency
tree(graph?).

(Pair programming with bcmills@.)

For #59157.

Change https://go.dev/cl/483016 mentions this issue: internal/lsp/testdata: update 'bad0' diagnostics test for 1.21

gopherbot pushed a commit to golang/tools that referenced this issue Apr 10, 2023
Go list is being updated to produce an error on the importing package,
rather than the imported package when there is an invalid import (such
as of a internal package, or of a vendored package but with the wrong
import path). This new error will produce a new diagnostic which is
causing the builders to fail on that change. This change updates the
tests to expect the new go list error on 1.21.

I'm not sure how to update the tests to work both before and after
that change. We can maybe change the golden diagnostic count summary
comparison to be disabled from this cl until the new cl is submitted,
but I'd like to see if I'm missing a better solution.

And assign the error to the importing package. Before this change, for
some errors for bad imports, such as importing a vendored package with
the wrong path, we would make a dummy package for the imported package
with the error on it. Instead report the error on the importing
package where it belongs. Do so by returning an error from loadImport
and handling it on the importing package.

gopherbot pushed a commit that referenced this issue Apr 10, 2023
Stop depending on DepsErrors to report errors to the user and instead
only use it and compute it in list. Instead, use Incomplete to figure
out when a package or its depencies have an error, and only if they
do, do the work of finding all those errors.

gopherbot pushed a commit to golang/tools that referenced this issue Apr 26, 2023
Now that go list reports import errors on the importing package,
update the disabled part of the test to expect that error. (We
commented out the line generating the diagnostic in the test before
making the change so that the change itself wouldn't generate a
diagnostic and break the test).
