Add script for profiling self check (Linux only)#19322
Merged
Conversation
The script compiles mypy and profiles self check using the 'perf' profiler. Example of how to use this: ``` $ python misc/profile_self_check.py ... [will take several minutes] CPU profile collected. You can now analyze the profile: perf report -i mypy.profile.tmpdir/perf.data ```

This should catch FileNotFoundError to handle perf not being found.

This speeds up self check by about 1.5% on my computer, according to `perf_compare.py`: ``` ... === Results === master 4.264s (0.0%) | stdev 0.024s HEAD 4.201s (-1.5%) | stdev 0.030s ``` I noticed this bottleneck when I was looking at a CPU profile generated using the script from #19322.
