Summary:
We occasionally get write stalls (>1s Write() calls) on HDD under read load. The following timers explain almost all of the stalls:
- perf_context.db_mutex_lock_nanos
- perf_context.db_condition_wait_nanos
- iostats_context.open_time
- iostats_context.allocate_time
- iostats_context.write_time
- iostats_context.range_sync_time
- iostats_context.logger_time
In my experiments each of these occasionally takes >1s on write path under some workload. There are rare cases when Write() takes long but none of these takes long.
Test Plan: Added code to our application to write the listed timings to log for slow writes. They usually add up to almost exactly the time Write() call took.

This eliminates the need to remember to call PERF_TIMER_STOP when a section has
been timed. This allows more useful design with the perf timers and enables
possible return value optimizations. Simplistic example:
class Foo {
public:
Foo(int v) : m_v(v);
private:
int m_v;
}
Foo makeFrobbedFoo(int *errno)
{
*errno = 0;
return Foo();
}
Foo bar(int *errno)
{
PERF_TIMER_GUARD(some_timer);
return makeFrobbedFoo(errno);
}
int main(int argc, char[] argv)
{
Foo f;
int errno;
f = bar(&errno);
if (errno)
return -1;
return 0;
}
After bar() is called, perf_context.some_timer would be incremented as if
Stop(&perf_context.some_timer) was called at the end, and the compiler is still
able to produce optimizations on the return value from makeFrobbedFoo() through
to main().
Summary: This will allow us to disable them completely for iOS or for better performance
Test Plan: will run make all check

Summary:
I had to make number of changes to the code and Makefile:
* Add `make lib`, that will create static library without debug info. We need this to avoid growing binary too much. Currently it's 14MB.
* Remove cpuinfo() function and use __SSE4_2__ macro. We actually used the macro as part of Fast_CRC32() function.
As a result, I also accidentally fixed this issue: https://www.facebook.com/groups/rocksdb.dev/permalink/549700778461774/?stream_ref=2
* Remove __thread locals in OS_MACOSX
Test Plan: `make lib PLATFORM=IOS`

Summary:
Change namespace from leveldb to rocksdb. This allows a single
application to link in open-source leveldb code as well as
rocksdb code into the same process.
Test Plan: compile rocksdb

Summary: The pupose of this diff is to expose per user-call level precise timing of block read, so that we can answer questions like: a Get() costs me 100ms, is that somehow related to loading blocks from file system, or sth else? We will answer that with EXACTLY how many blocks have been read, how much time was spent on transfering the bytes from os, how much time was spent on checksum verification and how much time was spent on block decompression, just for that one Get. A nano second stopwatch was introduced to track time with higher precision. The cost/precision of the stopwatch is also measured in unit-test. On my dev box, retrieving one time instance costs about 30ns, on average. The deviation of timing results is good enough to track 100ns-1us level events. And the overhead could be safely ignored for 100us level events (10000 instances/s), for example, a viewstate thrift call.
Test Plan: perf_context_test, also testing with viewstate shadow traffic.
