Optimize random string generator to avoid multiple locks & use bit-masking
Ref https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/53327
We recently started seeing a 50% decrease in scheduling throughput (for e.g in kubemark-500 scale job) and turns out https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53135 introduced it.
The reason is [this call](2caae38d32/plugin/pkg/scheduler/algorithm/predicates/predicates.go (L272)) to create a random 32-length string.
From the code of the `rand` utility (which is being heavily used throughout the system for randomizing object names), I noticed following performance issues:
- to create an n-length string, we are making n calls to `rand.Intn()` each of which does a lock+unlock operation on the RNG.. while just 1 lock+unlock operation is enough for all
- we're choosing one character (from an alphabet of 27 chars) per each random integer.. while we can select 10 characters using a single int63 (by masking and bit-shifting) as 1 character uses just 5 bits of randomness
- the character set is defined as a global slice (mutable), so the compiler needs to fetch length of the slice on each invocation to `len()` (we're making n of those).. while we can just use a const string (immutable) which will make len directly available as a cached constant (yes, go does it!)
This PR is making the above fixes. I'll try to add some benchmarking to measure the difference (as @wojtek-t suggested).

Kubernetes
Kubernetes is an open source system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts, providing basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications.
Kubernetes builds upon a decade and a half of experience at Google running production workloads at scale using a system called Borg, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.
Kubernetes is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). If you are a company that wants to help shape the evolution of technologies that are container-packaged, dynamically-scheduled and microservices-oriented, consider joining the CNCF. For details about who's involved and how Kubernetes plays a role, read the CNCF announcement.
To start using Kubernetes
See our documentation on kubernetes.io.
Try our interactive tutorial.
Take a free course on Scalable Microservices with Kubernetes.
To start developing Kubernetes
The community repository hosts all information about building Kubernetes from source, how to contribute code and documentation, who to contact about what, etc.
If you want to build Kubernetes right away there are two options:
You have a working Go environment.
$ go get -d k8s.io/kubernetes
$ cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/kubernetes
$ make
You have a working Docker environment.
$ git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes
$ cd kubernetes
$ make quick-release
If you are less impatient, head over to the developer's documentation.
Support
If you need support, start with the troubleshooting guide and work your way through the process that we've outlined.
That said, if you have questions, reach out to us one way or another.
