* exec: Find ARG_MAX with binary search after E2BIGTavian Barnes2021-11-171-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously we would shrink the command by one argument at a time until a successful execution. This is okay if the ARG_MAX estimate is just a little bit off, but is terribly slow when it's off by a lot. One situation where it's very far off is when a 32-bit build of bfs launches a 64-bit binary. In this case, bfs thinks the argv pointers are 4 bytes, while they actually take up 8 bytes. The performance is quite bad: $ time ./bfs-64 ~/code/linux -exec echo {} + >/dev/null ./bfs-64 ~/code/linux -exec echo {} + > /dev/null 0.03s user 0.07s system 99% cpu 0.095 total $ time ./bfs-32 ~/code/linux -exec echo {} + >/dev/null ./bfs-32 ~/code/linux -exec echo {} + > /dev/null 0.08s user 10.33s system 100% cpu 10.390 total After this change, performance is much better: $ time ./bfs-32 ~/code/linux -exec echo {} + >/dev/null ./bfs-32 ~/code/linux -exec echo {} + > /dev/null 0.03s user 0.08s system 99% cpu 0.110 total
