Tom de Vries b069b588cf [gdb/symtab] Use task size in parallel_for_each in dwarf2_build_psymtabs_hard
In dwarf2_build_psymtabs_hard, we use a parallel_for_each to distribute CUs
over threads.

Ensuring a fair distribution over the worker threads and main thread in terms
of number of CUs might not be the most efficient way, given that CUs can vary
in size.

Fix this by using per_cu->get_length () as the task size.

I've used this experiment to verify the performance impact:
...
$ for n in $(seq 1 10); do \
    time gdb -q -batch ~/firefox/libxul.so-93.0-1.1.x86_64.debug \
    2>&1 \
    | grep "real:"; \
  done
...
and without the patch got:
...
real: 4.71
real: 4.88
real: 4.29
real: 4.30
real: 4.65
real: 4.27
real: 4.27
real: 4.27
real: 4.75
real: 4.41
...
and with the patch:
...
real: 3.68
real: 3.81
real: 3.80
real: 3.68
real: 3.75
real: 3.69
real: 3.69
real: 3.74
real: 3.67
real: 3.74
...
so that seems a reasonable improvement.

With parallel_for_each_debug set to true, we get some more detail about
the difference in behaviour.  Without the patch we have:
...
Parallel for: n_elements: 2818
Parallel for: minimum elements per thread: 1
Parallel for: elts_per_thread: 704
Parallel for: elements on worker thread 0       : 705
Parallel for: elements on worker thread 1       : 705
Parallel for: elements on worker thread 2       : 704
Parallel for: elements on worker thread 3       : 0
Parallel for: elements on main thread           : 704
...
and with the patch:
...
Parallel for: n_elements: 2818
Parallel for: total_size: 1483674865
Parallel for: size_per_thread: 370918716
Parallel for: elements on worker thread 0       : 752   (size: 371811790)
Parallel for: elements on worker thread 1       : 360   (size: 371509370)
Parallel for: elements on worker thread 2       : 1130  (size: 372681710)
Parallel for: elements on worker thread 3       : 0     (size: 0)
Parallel for: elements on main thread           : 576   (size: 367671995)
...

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
