Improve Any stack usage #1302
Improve Any stack usage #1302
Conversation
Could you post the full benchmarks? :) |
I believe the tradeoff here is not worth. While this approach's improvements on new goroutine stack allocation scenario is certainly impressive, the more frequent case is when we already have a stable goroutine whose stack size isn't growing anymore and we're logging happily. (the normal_with_logger case) Let's discuss options in #1301. |

By doing this unsafe approach we are able to save one call to morestack.

This is an alternative to #1301 and #1302. It's not as fast as these two options, but it still gives us half the stack reduction without the `unsafe` usage. Interestingly it seems that on both arm64 and amd64 the new code, with the closure, is faster than the plain old switch. We do see a ~5-10ns delay on `Any` creation if it's used without `logger`, but that's minimal and not realistic. Bunch of credit for this goes to @cdvr1993, we started independently, I was about to give up but the conversations pushed me forward. In the end he ended up going into a more advanced land where I dare not to enter. Longer version: We have identified an issue where zap.Any can cause performance degradation due to stack size. This is apparently cased by the compiler assigning 4.8kb (a zap.Field per arm of the switch statement) for zap.Any on stack. This can result in an unnecessary runtime.newstack+runtime.copystack. A github issue against Go language is pending. This can be particularly bad if `zap.Any` was to be used in a new goroutine, since the default goroutine sizes can be as low as 2kb (it can vary depending on average stack size - see golang/go#18138). This is an alternative to #1301, @cdvr and me were talking about this, and he inspired this idea with the closure. By using a function and a closure we're able to reduce the size and remove the degradation. At least on my laptop, this change result in a new performance gain, as all benchmarks show reduced time. 10 runs. ``` ❯ benchstat ~/before2.txt ~/after2.txt goos: darwin goarch: arm64 pkg:

This is an alternative to #1301 and #1302. It's not as fast as these two options, but it still gives us half the stack reduction without the `unsafe` usage. Interestingly it seems that on both arm64 and amd64 the new code, with the closure, is faster than the plain old switch. We do see a ~5-10ns delay on `Any` creation if it's used without `logger`, but that's minimal and not realistic. Bunch of credit for this goes to @cdvr1993, we started independently, I was about to give up but the conversations pushed me forward. In the end he ended up going into a more advanced land where I dare not to enter. Longer version: We have identified an issue where zap.Any can cause performance degradation due to stack size. This is apparently cased by the compiler assigning 4.8kb (a zap.Field per arm of the switch statement) for zap.Any on stack. This can result in an unnecessary runtime.newstack+runtime.copystack. A github issue against Go language is pending. This can be particularly bad if `zap.Any` was to be used in a new goroutine, since the default goroutine sizes can be as low as 2kb (it can vary depending on average stack size - see golang/go#18138). This is an alternative to #1301, @cdvr and me were talking about this, and he inspired this idea with the closure. By using a function and a closure we're able to reduce the size and remove the degradation. At least on my laptop, this change result in a new performance gain, as all benchmarks show reduced time. 10 runs. ``` ❯ benchstat ~/before2.txt ~/after2.txt goos: darwin goarch: arm64 pkg:

This is an alternative to: - #1301 and #1302 and #1304 - a series of PRs that are faster than this one. However, they rely on unsafe. - #1303 - my own PR that uses closures, to reduce the stack size by 60%. This PR reduces the stack size from: ``` field.go:420 0xd16c3 4881ecf8120000 SUBQ $0x12f8, SP // 4856 ``` to ``` field.go:420 0xcb603 4881ecb8000000 SUBQ $0xb8, SP // 184 ``` so by ~96%. More crucially, `zap.Any` is now as fast as correctly typed methods, like `zap.String`, etc. The downside is the (slight) incrase in the code maitenance - we unroll as much as we can and rely on the compiler correctly re-using small variable sizes. While this is not pretty, it feels safe - the changes were purely mechanical. Future changes and extensions should be easy to review. Additionally, the new code is (slightly) faster in all cases since we remove 1-2 function calls from all paths. The "in new goroutine" path is most affected, as shown in benchmarks below. This was largely inspired by conversations with @cdvr1993. We started looking at this in parallel, but I would have given up if it wasn't for our conversations. This particular version was inspired by an earlier version of #1304 - where I realized that @cdvr1993 is doing a similar dispatching mechanism that zap is already doing via `zapcore` - a possible optimization. Longer version: We have identified an issue where zap.Any can cause performance degradation due to stack size. This is apparently cased by the compiler assigning 4.8kb (a zap.Field per arm of the switch statement) for zap.Any on stack. This can result in an unnecessary runtime.newstack+runtime.copystack. A github issue against Go language is pending. This can be particularly bad if `zap.Any` was to be used in a new goroutine, since the default goroutine sizes can be as low as 2kb (it can vary depending on average stack size - see golang/go#18138). *Most crucially, `zap.Any` is now as fast as a direct dispatch like `zap.String`.* 10 runs. ``` goos: darwin goarch: arm64 pkg: go.uber.org/zap │ before-final.txt │ after-final.txt │ │ sec/op │ sec/op

This is an alternative to: - #1301 and #1302 and #1304 - a series of PRs that are faster than this one. However, they rely on unsafe. - #1303 - my own PR that uses closures, to reduce the stack size by 60%. This PR reduces the stack size from: ``` field.go:420 0xd16c3 4881ecf8120000 SUBQ $0x12f8, SP // 4856 ``` to ``` field.go:420 0xcb603 4881ecb8000000 SUBQ $0xb8, SP // 184 ``` so by ~96%. More crucially, `zap.Any` is now as fast as correctly typed methods, like `zap.String`, etc. The downside is the (slight) incrase in the code maitenance - we unroll as much as we can and rely on the compiler correctly re-using small variable sizes. While this is not pretty, it feels safe - the changes were purely mechanical. Future changes and extensions should be easy to review. Additionally, the new code is (slightly) faster in all cases since we remove 1-2 function calls from all paths. The "in new goroutine" path is most affected, as shown in benchmarks below. This was largely inspired by conversations with @cdvr1993. We started looking at this in parallel, but I would have given up if it wasn't for our conversations. This particular version was inspired by an earlier version of #1304 - where I realized that @cdvr1993 is doing a similar dispatching mechanism that zap is already doing via `zapcore` - a possible optimization. Longer version: We have identified an issue where zap.Any can cause performance degradation due to stack size. This is apparently cased by the compiler assigning 4.8kb (a zap.Field per arm of the switch statement) for zap.Any on stack. This can result in an unnecessary runtime.newstack+runtime.copystack. A github issue against Go language is pending. This can be particularly bad if `zap.Any` was to be used in a new goroutine, since the default goroutine sizes can be as low as 2kb (it can vary depending on average stack size - see golang/go#18138). *Most crucially, `zap.Any` is now as fast as a direct dispatch like `zap.String`.* 10 runs. ``` goos: darwin goarch: arm64 pkg: go.uber.org/zap │ before-final.txt │ after-final.txt │ │ sec/op │ sec/op

This is an alternative to: - #1301 and #1302 and #1304 - a series of PRs that are faster than this one. However, they rely on unsafe. - #1303 - my own PR that uses closures, to reduce the stack size by 60%. This PR reduces the stack size from: ``` field.go:420 0xd16c3 4881ecf8120000 SUBQ $0x12f8, SP // 4856 ``` to ``` field.go:420 0xcb603 4881ecb8000000 SUBQ $0xb8, SP // 184 ``` so by ~96%. More crucially, `zap.Any` is now as fast as correctly typed methods, like `zap.String`, etc. The downside is the (slight) incrase in the code maitenance - we unroll as much as we can and rely on the compiler correctly re-using small variable sizes. While this is not pretty, it feels safe - the changes were purely mechanical. Future changes and extensions should be easy to review. Additionally, the new code is (slightly) faster in all cases since we remove 1-2 function calls from all paths. The "in new goroutine" path is most affected, as shown in benchmarks below. This was largely inspired by conversations with @cdvr1993. We started looking at this in parallel, but I would have given up if it wasn't for our conversations. This particular version was inspired by an earlier version of #1304 - where I realized that @cdvr1993 is doing a similar dispatching mechanism that zap is already doing via `zapcore` - a possible optimization. Longer version: We have identified an issue where zap.Any can cause performance degradation due to stack size. This is apparently cased by the compiler assigning 4.8kb (a zap.Field per arm of the switch statement) for zap.Any on stack. This can result in an unnecessary runtime.newstack+runtime.copystack. A github issue against Go language is pending. This can be particularly bad if `zap.Any` was to be used in a new goroutine, since the default goroutine sizes can be as low as 2kb (it can vary depending on average stack size - see golang/go#18138). *Most crucially, `zap.Any` is now as fast as a direct dispatch like `zap.String`.* 10 runs. ``` goos: darwin goarch: arm64 pkg: go.uber.org/zap │ before-final.txt │ after-final.txt │ │ sec/op │ sec/op

This is an alternative to: - #1301 and #1302 and #1304 - a series of PRs that are faster than this one. However, they rely on unsafe. - #1303 - my own PR that uses closures, to reduce the stack size by 60%. This PR reduces the stack size from: ``` field.go:420 0xd16c3 4881ecf8120000 SUBQ $0x12f8, SP // 4856 ``` to ``` field.go:420 0xcb603 4881ecb8000000 SUBQ $0xb8, SP // 184 ``` so by ~96%. More crucially, `zap.Any` is now as fast as correctly typed methods, like `zap.String`, etc. The downside is the (slight) incrase in the code maitenance - we unroll as much as we can and rely on the compiler correctly re-using small variable sizes. While this is not pretty, it feels safe - the changes were purely mechanical. Future changes and extensions should be easy to review. Additionally, the new code is (slightly) faster in all cases since we remove 1-2 function calls from all paths. The "in new goroutine" path is most affected, as shown in benchmarks below. This was largely inspired by conversations with @cdvr1993. We started looking at this in parallel, but I would have given up if it wasn't for our conversations. This particular version was inspired by an earlier version of #1304 - where I realized that @cdvr1993 is doing a similar dispatching mechanism that zap is already doing via `zapcore` - a possible optimization. Longer version: We have identified an issue where zap.Any can cause performance degradation due to stack size. This is apparently cased by the compiler assigning 4.8kb (a zap.Field per arm of the switch statement) for zap.Any on stack. This can result in an unnecessary runtime.newstack+runtime.copystack. A github issue against Go language is pending. This can be particularly bad if `zap.Any` was to be used in a new goroutine, since the default goroutine sizes can be as low as 2kb (it can vary depending on average stack size - see golang/go#18138). *Most crucially, `zap.Any` is now as fast as a direct dispatch like `zap.String`.* 10 runs. ``` goos: darwin goarch: arm64 pkg: go.uber.org/zap │ before-final.txt │ after-final.txt │ │ sec/op │ sec/op

However, they rely on unsafe. - #1303 - my own PR that uses closures, to reduce the stack size by 60%. - #1305 - my own PR that inline bunch of loops - https://github.com/uber-go/zap/compare/pawel/any-int5 that does the same as above, but is slightly easier to parse - #1307 - a reflect.TypeOf lookup version THIS PR IS INCOMPLETE - it shows a possible approach, but I wanted to get reviewers thoughts before typing everything in. I originally thought we can use a `type props strucy` intermediary struct to store the data, but that hits the same problem: every `props` would get it's own slot on the stack. This avoids this by returning the raw data. Pros: - the implementation is shared between `Any` and strongly typed Fields - no reflect or unsafe - reduced the stack significantly - we should be able to get to the same ~180 bytes as ~1305. - no peft penalty for strongly typed versions, at least on ARM64 it's compiled away. Cons: - the code gets a bit harder to maintain. It's significantly better than #1305 I would say though.

This is a prefactor for #1301, #1302, #1304, #1305, #1307, #1308 and #1310. We're writing various approaches to reduce the stock size and it's painful to keep copy-pasting the tests between PRs. This was suggested in @prashantv in #1307. The tests are mostly based on tests in #1303, but made "more generic", as #1307 we might want to test across more than just a single type. It does make the tests a bit harder to setup. Some of the setup is inconvenient (we duplicate the value in both `typed` and `any` version of the tests) but hopefully okay to understand. A fully non-duplicated alternative would likely require something like #1310 itself. For #1307 in particular a test against interface type would likely be needed, so adding it here too. The tests compare two code paths, with the same arguments, one using a strongly typed method and second using `zap.Any`. We have: - a simple "create field" case for a baseline - a "create and log" case for a realistic case (we typically log the fields) - a "create and log in a goroutine" case for the pathological case we're trying to solve for. - a "create and long in goroutine in a pre-warmed system" that does the above, but before tries to affect the starting goroutine stack size to provide an realistic example. Without this, for any tests with 2+ goroutines, the cost of `zap.Any` is not visible, as we always end up expanding the stack even in the strongly typed methods.

This is an alternative to: - #1301 and #1302 and #1304 - a series of PRs that are faster than this one. However, they rely on unsafe. - #1303 - my own PR that uses closures, to reduce the stack size by 60%. This PR reduces the stack size from: ``` field.go:420 0xd16c3 4881ecf8120000 SUBQ $0x12f8, SP // 4856 ``` to ``` field.go:420 0xcb603 4881ecb8000000 SUBQ $0xb8, SP // 184 ``` so by ~96%. More crucially, `zap.Any` is now as fast as correctly typed methods, like `zap.String`, etc. The downside is the (slight) incrase in the code maitenance - we unroll as much as we can and rely on the compiler correctly re-using small variable sizes. While this is not pretty, it feels safe - the changes were purely mechanical. Future changes and extensions should be easy to review. Additionally, the new code is (slightly) faster in all cases since we remove 1-2 function calls from all paths. The "in new goroutine" path is most affected, as shown in benchmarks below. This was largely inspired by conversations with @cdvr1993. We started looking at this in parallel, but I would have given up if it wasn't for our conversations. This particular version was inspired by an earlier version of #1304 - where I realized that @cdvr1993 is doing a similar dispatching mechanism that zap is already doing via `zapcore` - a possible optimization. Longer version: We have identified an issue where zap.Any can cause performance degradation due to stack size. This is apparently cased by the compiler assigning 4.8kb (a zap.Field per arm of the switch statement) for zap.Any on stack. This can result in an unnecessary runtime.newstack+runtime.copystack. A github issue against Go language is pending. This can be particularly bad if `zap.Any` was to be used in a new goroutine, since the default goroutine sizes can be as low as 2kb (it can vary depending on average stack size - see golang/go#18138). *Most crucially, `zap.Any` is now as fast as a direct dispatch like `zap.String`.* 10 runs. ``` goos: darwin goarch: arm64 pkg: go.uber.org/zap │ before-final.txt │ after-final.txt │ │ sec/op │ sec/op

This is a prefactor for #1301, #1302, #1304, #1305, #1307, #1308 and #1310. We're writing various approaches to reduce the stock size and it's painful to keep copy-pasting the tests between PRs. This was suggested in @prashantv in #1307. The tests are mostly based on tests in #1303, but made "more generic", as #1307 we might want to test across more than just a single type. It does make the tests a bit harder to setup. Some of the setup is inconvenient (we duplicate the value in both `typed` and `any` version of the tests) but hopefully okay to understand. A fully non-duplicated alternative would likely require something like #1310 itself. For #1307 in particular a test against interface type would likely be needed, so adding it here too. The tests compare two code paths, with the same arguments, one using a strongly typed method and second using `zap.Any`. We have: - a simple "create field" case for a baseline - a "create and log" case for a realistic case (we typically log the fields) - a "create and log in a goroutine" case for the pathological case we're trying to solve for. - -a "create and long in goroutine in a pre-warmed system" that does the above- we decided it's not worth the complication. The test results are: ``` ❯ go test -bench BenchmarkAny -benchmem -cpu 1 goos: darwin goarch: arm64 pkg: go.uber.org/zap BenchmarkAny/string/field-only/typed 161981473 7.374 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/string/field-only/any 82343354 14.67 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/string/log/typed 2965648 416.1 ns/op 64 B/op 1 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/string/log/any 2920292 418.8 ns/op 64 B/op 1 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/string/log-go/typed 1000000 1158 ns/op 112 B/op 3 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/string/log-go/any 553144 2152 ns/op 128 B/op 3 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/stringer/field-only/typed 160509367 7.548 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/stringer/field-only/any 51330402 23.45 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/stringer/log/typed 3221404 377.0 ns/op 64 B/op 1 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/stringer/log/any 2726443 393.5 ns/op 64 B/op 1 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/stringer/log-go/typed 1000000 1129 ns/op 112 B/op 3 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/stringer/log-go/any 558602 2147 ns/op 128 B/op 3 allocs/op PASS ok go.uber.org/zap 19.426s ``` On gotip: ``` ❯ gotip test -bench BenchmarkAny -benchmem -cpu 1 goos: darwin goarch: arm64 pkg: go.uber.org/zap BenchmarkAny/string/field-only/typed 155084869 7.603 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/string/field-only/any 82740788 14.55 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/string/log/typed 2800495 411.6 ns/op 64 B/op 1 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/string/log/any 2896258 411.7 ns/op 64 B/op 1 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/string/log-go/typed 1000000 1155 ns/op 112 B/op 3 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/string/log-go/any 551599 2168 ns/op 128 B/op 3 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/stringer/field-only/typed 159505488 7.578 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/stringer/field-only/any 51406354 23.78 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/stringer/log/typed 3011210 388.6 ns/op 64 B/op 1 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/stringer/log/any 3010370 395.1 ns/op 64 B/op 1 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/stringer/log-go/typed 1000000 1161 ns/op 112 B/op 3 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/stringer/log-go/any 553860 2161 ns/op 128 B/op 3 allocs/op PASS ok go.uber.org/zap 19.391s ``` on amd64 (similar, 2x worse stack growth impact) ``` % go test -bench BenchmarkAny -benchmem -cpu 1 goos: linux goarch: amd64 pkg: go.uber.org/zap cpu: AMD EPYC 7B13 BenchmarkAny/string/field-only/typed 47534053 25.23 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/string/field-only/any 36913526 32.57 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/string/log/typed 1693508 725.7 ns/op 64 B/op 1 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/string/log/any 1576172 765.3 ns/op 64 B/op 1 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/string/log-go/typed 516832 2343 ns/op 112 B/op 3 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/string/log-go/any 243692 4404 ns/op 128 B/op 3 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/stringer/field-only/typed 48735537 24.73 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/stringer/field-only/any 26115684 47.24 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/stringer/log/typed 1761630 677.5 ns/op 64 B/op 1 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/stringer/log/any 1646913 705.4 ns/op 64 B/op 1 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/stringer/log-go/typed 534187 2275 ns/op 112 B/op 3 allocs/op BenchmarkAny/stringer/log-go/any 273787 4348 ns/op 128 B/op 3 allocs/op PASS ok go.uber.org/zap 18.890s ```
This is an alternative to #1301 and #1302. It's not as fast as these two options, but it still gives us half the stack reduction without the `unsafe` usage. Interestingly it seems that on both arm64 and amd64 the new code, with the closure, is faster than the plain old switch. We do see a ~5-10ns delay on `Any` creation if it's used without `logger`, but that's minimal and not realistic. Bunch of credit for this goes to @cdvr1993, we started independently, I was about to give up but the conversations pushed me forward. In the end he ended up going into a more advanced land where I dare not to enter. Longer version: We have identified an issue where zap.Any can cause performance degradation due to stack size. This is apparently cased by the compiler assigning 4.8kb (a zap.Field per arm of the switch statement) for zap.Any on stack. This can result in an unnecessary runtime.newstack+runtime.copystack. A github issue against Go language is pending. This can be particularly bad if `zap.Any` was to be used in a new goroutine, since the default goroutine sizes can be as low as 2kb (it can vary depending on average stack size - see golang/go#18138). This is an alternative to #1301, @cdvr and me were talking about this, and he inspired this idea with the closure. By using a function and a closure we're able to reduce the size and remove the degradation. At least on my laptop, this change result in a new performance gain, as all benchmarks show reduced time. 10 runs. ``` ❯ benchstat ~/before2.txt ~/after2.txt goos: darwin goarch: arm64 pkg:

This is an alternative to: - #1301 and #1302 and #1304 - a series of PRs that are faster than this one. However, they rely on unsafe. - #1303 - my own PR that uses closures, to reduce the stack size by 60%. This PR reduces the stack size from: ``` field.go:420 0xd16c3 4881ecf8120000 SUBQ $0x12f8, SP // 4856 ``` to ``` field.go:420 0xcb603 4881ecb8000000 SUBQ $0xb8, SP // 184 ``` so by ~96%. More crucially, `zap.Any` is now as fast as correctly typed methods, like `zap.String`, etc. The downside is the (slight) incrase in the code maitenance - we unroll as much as we can and rely on the compiler correctly re-using small variable sizes. While this is not pretty, it feels safe - the changes were purely mechanical. Future changes and extensions should be easy to review. Additionally, the new code is (slightly) faster in all cases since we remove 1-2 function calls from all paths. The "in new goroutine" path is most affected, as shown in benchmarks below. This was largely inspired by conversations with @cdvr1993. We started looking at this in parallel, but I would have given up if it wasn't for our conversations. This particular version was inspired by an earlier version of #1304 - where I realized that @cdvr1993 is doing a similar dispatching mechanism that zap is already doing via `zapcore` - a possible optimization. Longer version: We have identified an issue where zap.Any can cause performance degradation due to stack size. This is apparently cased by the compiler assigning 4.8kb (a zap.Field per arm of the switch statement) for zap.Any on stack. This can result in an unnecessary runtime.newstack+runtime.copystack. A github issue against Go language is pending. This can be particularly bad if `zap.Any` was to be used in a new goroutine, since the default goroutine sizes can be as low as 2kb (it can vary depending on average stack size - see golang/go#18138). *Most crucially, `zap.Any` is now as fast as a direct dispatch like `zap.String`.* 10 runs. ``` goos: darwin goarch: arm64 pkg: go.uber.org/zap │ before-final.txt │ after-final.txt │ │ sec/op │ sec/op

…ion) This is an alternative to: - #1301 and #1302 and #1304 - a series of PRs that are faster than this one. However, they rely on unsafe. - #1303 - my own PR that uses closures, to reduce the stack size by 60%. - #1305 - my own PR that inline bunch of loops - https://github.com/uber-go/zap/compare/pawel/any-int5 that does the same as above, but is slightly easier to parse - #1307 - a reflect.TypeOf lookup version THIS PR IS INCOMPLETE - it shows a possible approach, but I wanted to get reviewers thoughts before typing everything in. I originally thought we can use a `type props strucy` intermediary struct to store the data, but that hits the same problem: every `props` would get it's own slot on the stack. This avoids this by returning the raw data. Pros: - the implementation is shared between `Any` and strongly typed Fields - no reflect or unsafe - reduced the stack significantly - we should be able to get to the same ~180 bytes as ~1305. - no peft penalty for strongly typed versions, at least on ARM64 it's compiled away. Cons: - the code gets a bit harder to maintain. It's significantly better than #1305 I would say though.
This is a prefactor for #1301, #1302, #1304, #1305, #1307, #1308 and #1310. We're writing various approaches to reduce the stack size and it's painful to keep copy-pasting the tests between PRs. This was suggested in @prashantv in #1307. The tests are mostly based on tests in #1303, but made "more generic", as #1307 we might want to test across more than just a single type. It does make the tests a bit harder to setup. Some of the setup is inconvenient (we duplicate the value in both `typed` and `any` version of the tests) but hopefully okay to understand. A fully non-duplicated alternative would likely require something like #1310 itself. For #1307 in particular a test against interface type would likely be needed, so adding it here too. The tests compare two code paths, with the same arguments, one using a strongly typed method and second using `zap.Any`. We have: - a simple "create field" case for a baseline - a "create and log" case for a realistic case (we typically log the fields) - a "create and log in a goroutine" case for the pathological case we're trying to solve for. - a "create and long in goroutine in a pre-warmed system" that does the above, but before tries to affect the starting goroutine stack size to provide an realistic example. Without this, for any tests with 2+ goroutines, the cost of `zap.Any` is not visible, as we always end up expanding the stack even in the strongly typed methods.

By doing this unsafe approach we are able to save one call to morestack.
This is another approach for #1301.
The benchmarks look way better than the other one:
Stack usage is now:
320 bytes.
