Improved throughput of tavern/internal/cryptocodec by optimizing goroutine ID retrieval and caching ECDH shared keys.

  • Replaced debug.Stack() with runtime.Stack() and manual parsing to reduce allocation and processing time.
  • Updated session_pub_keys to store SessionKey struct containing both the client public key and the derived shared key.
  • Updated Decrypt to use the cached shared key if available, avoiding expensive ECDH operations on every packet.
  • Updated Encrypt to use the cached shared key directly.
  • Benchmarks show significant throughput improvement (~4x increase).

Replaced debug.Stack() with optimized runtime.Stack() logic to avoid high allocation overhead.
Implemented caching for derived shared keys in session_pub_keys to avoid repeated ECDH operations.
Increased stack buffer size to 4096 bytes to safely capture creator ID.
Updated benchmarks and tests to reflect structural changes.

Replaced debug.Stack() with runtime.Stack() and manual parsing to reduce allocation and processing time.

Does this work with revshell? IIRC one of the stack options omits the parent thread ID and prevents server iniated crypto from working.

Updated session_pub_keys to store SessionKey struct containing both the client public key and the derived shared key.
Updated Decrypt to use the cached shared key if available, avoiding expensive ECDH operations on every packet.
Updated Encrypt to use the cached shared key directly.

Makes sense.

Another option we might want to consider is rotating the key less frequently.
Right new we do every request but could probably do every minute or 100 requests or w/e and get 600microseconds back from client key derivation.

Thank you for the feedback. I've updated the goAllIds implementation to dynamically grow the buffer (similar to debug.Stack), ensuring deep stack traces are correctly captured and the 'created by' line is not truncated. I've also removed the scratchpad comments.
