'go mod verify' checksums one module zip at a time, which is
CPU-intensive on most modern machines with fast disks. As a result, one
can see a CPU bottleneck when running the command on, for example, a
module where 'go list -m all' lists ~440 modules:
$ /usr/bin/time go mod verify
all modules verified
11.47user 0.77system 0:09.41elapsed 130%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 24284maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+4156minor)pagefaults 0swaps
Instead, verify up to GOMAXPROCS zips at once, which should line up
pretty well with the amount of processors we can use on a machine. The
results below are obtained via 'benchcmd -n 5 GoModVerify go mod verify'
on the same large module.
name old time/op new time/op delta
GoModVerify 9.35s ± 1% 3.03s ± 2% -67.60% (p=0.008 n=5+5)
name old user-time/op new user-time/op delta
GoModVerify 11.2s ± 1% 16.3s ± 3% +45.38% (p=0.008 n=5+5)
name old sys-time/op new sys-time/op delta
GoModVerify 841ms ± 9% 865ms ± 8% ~ (p=0.548 n=5+5)
name old peak-RSS-bytes new peak-RSS-bytes delta
GoModVerify 27.8MB ±13% 50.7MB ±27% +82.01% (p=0.008 n=5+5)
The peak memory usage nearly doubles, and there is some extra overhead,
but it seems clearly worth the tradeoff given that we see a ~3x speedup
on my laptop with 4 physical cores. The vast majority of developer
machines nowadays should have 2-4 cores at least.
No test or benchmark is included; one can benchmark 'go mod verify'
directly, as I did above. The existing tests also cover correctness,
including any data races via -race.
Fixes #38623.
