What type of PR is this?

/kind feature

What this PR does / why we need it:

Adds PR-base versus PR-head benchmark comparison for scheduler, device, and metrics benchmarks.

The benchmark CI job now:

  • Checks out and runs matching benchmarks for the exact PR base and head revisions.
  • Produces a benchstat report and uploads raw base/head results plus the report as artifacts.
  • Gates configured B/op and allocs/op regressions through hack/bench-policy.tsv.
  • Keeps wall-time deltas informational because shared GitHub runners are noisy.
  • Runs a weekly longer benchmark pass with BENCHTIME=1s and retains artifacts for 30 days.
  • Adds scheduler fixture validation so scoring benchmarks cannot silently switch from the successful-fit path to rejection behavior.
  • Adds shell tests for accepted results, allocation regressions, and missing expected benchmarks.

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Fixes #3142

AI assistant disclosure :
I used AI Assistance to help review the final code and refine the PR description.

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?:

No. This changes contributor CI behavior and benchmark artifacts only.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • CI & Benchmarking
    • Pull request benchmark results are compared with the base revision. Configured memory and allocation regression limits are enforced; timing changes are reported but do not gate results.
    • Benchmark runs now occur weekly, use settings tailored to the run type, and retain result artifacts for 30 days.
  • Documentation
    • Updated benchmark guidance to explain comparison results and policy changes.
  • Tests
    • Added checks for benchmark comparison outcomes and scheduler benchmark fixtures.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

CI compares pull request benchmark results with the base revision and checks allocation metrics against policy limits. Scheduled runs use longer benchmark durations. CI retains benchmark output for 30 days.

Changes

Benchmark Regression Checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Comparison checks and local validation
hack/bench-compare.sh, hack/test-bench-compare.sh, Makefile, CONTRIBUTING.md
The comparison script generates a benchstat report and checks B/op and allocs/op against policy limits. Tests cover passing comparisons, an allocation regression, and a missing benchmark. The Make target runs the tests, and contributor guidance documents the policy.
Benchmark capture and CI integration
hack/bench.sh, .github/workflows/ci.yaml, pkg/scheduler/score_bench_test.go
The benchmark runner accepts a sample count and configurable output directory. CI captures base and head results for pull requests, uses event-specific benchmark settings, compares results, and uploads benchmark output. The workflow adds a weekly schedule. A test checks scheduler scoring fixtures.

Suggested labels: enhancement

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 8681c

The benchmark comparison now uses the PR merge result and stops when baseline benchmarks fail. Both previously identified risks are resolved; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 03dee

The benchmark comparison preserves existing read-only permissions and does not establish a new credential-access path. However, the weekly trigger is broader than benchmarking: it can also run deployment-based GPU tests and share cancellation behavior with master-branch CI. Cleanup and environment-isolation guarantees remain partly unverified.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · inferred: The weekly benchmark trigger applies to the entire CI workflow. On master, existing guards also admit image/chart production and deployment-based GPU E2E tests, including opt-in MIG tests. It shares a cancel-in-progress group with other master CI runs, extending recurring shared-state mutation and interruption beyond the stated benchmark scope. Lock and cleanup steps are present, but complete interruption recovery and environment isolation remain unverified.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The evidenced changed exposure is CI execution and longer-lived benchmark output, plus recurring access to existing GPU deployment infrastructure. Actual cluster tenancy, credentials, and environment approval protections are not established by the inspected source.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • inferred — PR-controlled benchmark code continues to execute within the existing CI trust boundary. The reviewed changes do not demonstrate increased token privileges or a new trusted downstream consumer of benchmark reports. Longer retention does not make those reports authoritative deployment input.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Benchmark producers and comparison use strict shell failure handling. Artifact upload runs even after failure, but is separate from comparison success; retained partial output does not itself convert a failed job into a pass.

A rabbit checks the numbers with care,
Base and head results hop through the air.
Bytes and allocations meet the rule,
While timing stays out of the pool.
The weekly run returns with a beat,
And leaves its benchmark trail complete.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Compare the PR merge commit with the base commit.

If the base branch advances while the PR branch is behind, this checkout benchmarks head.sha without those base changes. The comparison then reports differences caused by the base branch as PR regressions or improvements. Use the pull-request merge commit (github.sha) for the head benchmark and keep base.sha for the baseline. GitHub identifies GITHUB_SHA on a mergeable pull_request run as the merge commit. (docs.github.com)

Based on learnings: PR metric comparisons should use the checkout merge commit against base.sha, not head.sha.
