Add a `tuning` feature which adds counters that help with performance
evaluation. The only counter added so far accumulates the duration a
Scheduler has been parked, which is pretty accurate an indication of
CPU usage of the Scheduler.
- Reworked buffer push.
- Reworked stats.
- Make first elements logs stand out. This make it possible to
follow what's going on with pipelines containing 1000s of
elements.
- Actually handle EOS.
- Use more significant defaults.
- Allow building without `clap` feature.
Using callgrind with the standalone test showed opportunities for
improvements for sub tasks addition and drain.
All sub task additions were performed after making sure we were
operating on a Context Task. The Context and Task were checked
again when adding the sub task.
Draining sub tasks was perfomed in a loop on every call places,
checking whether there were remaining sub tasks first. This
commit implements the loop and checks directly in
`executor::Task::drain_subtasks`, saving one `Mutex` lock and
one `thread_local` access per iteration when there are sub
tasks to drain.
The `PadSink` functions wrapper were performing redundant checks
on the `Context` presence and were adding the delayed Future only
when there were already sub tasks.
Implement a test that initializes pipelines with minimalistic
theadshare src and sink. This can help with the evaluation of
changes to the threadshare runtime or with element
implementation details. It makes it easy to run flamegraph or
callgrind and to focus on the threadshare runtime overhead.
