// Mini-benchmark for tsan VTS worst case performance
// Idea:
// 1) Spawn M + N threads (M >> N)
// We'll call the 'M' threads as 'garbage threads'.
// 2) Make sure all threads have created thus no TIDs were reused
// 3) Join the garbage threads
// 4) Do many sync operations on the remaining N threads
//
// It turns out that due to O(M+N) VTS complexity the (4) is much slower with
// when N is large.
//
// Some numbers:
// a) clang++ native O1 with n_iterations=200kk takes
// 5s regardless of M
// clang++ tsanv2 O1 with n_iterations=20kk takes
// 23.5s with M=200
// 11.5s with M=1
// i.e. tsanv2 is ~23x to ~47x slower than native, depends on M.
// b) g++ native O1 with n_iterations=200kk takes
// 5.5s regardless of M
// g++ tsanv1 O1 with n_iterations=2kk takes
// 39.5s with M=200
// 20.5s with M=1
// i.e. tsanv1 is ~370x to ~720x slower than native, depends on M.
