benchmarking Podman: proof of concept
Add a proof of concept for benchmarking Podman. The benchmarks are implemented by means of the end-to-end test suite but hidden behind a `benchmarks` build tag. Running `make localbenchmarks` will run `test/e2e` with the specific build tag and set ginkgo's "focus" to the specific "Podman Benchmark Suite" to only run this spec and skip all others. ginkgo will print a report before terminating listing the CPU and memory stats for each benchmark. New benchmarks can easily be added via the `newBenchmark` function that also supports adding an `init()` function to each benchmark which allows for performing certain setups for the specific benchmark. For instance, benchmarking `podman start` requires creating a container beforehand. Podman may be called more than once in the main function of a benchmark but note that the displayed memory consumption is then a sum of all Podman invocations. The memory consumption is collected via `/usr/bin/time`. A benchmark's report is split into CPU and memory as displayed below: ``` [CPU] podman images: Fastest Time: 0.146s Slowest Time: 0.187s Average Time: 0.180s ± 0.015s [MEM] podman images: Smallest: 41892.0KB Largest: 42792.0KB Average: 42380.7KB ± 286.4KB ``` Note that the benchmarks are not wired into the CI yet. They are meant as a proof of concept. More benchmarks and the plumbing into CI will happen in a later change. Signed-off-by: Valentin Rothberg <vrothberg@redhat.com>
