Lars Schneider	a5436b5794	sha1_file: rename git_open_noatime() to git_open() This function is meant to be used when reading from files in the object store, and the original objective was to avoid smudging atime of loose object files too often, hence its name. Because we'll be extending its role in the next commit to also arrange the file descriptors they return auto-closed in the child processes, rename it to lose "noatime" part that is too specific.

Jeff King	2824e1841b	list-objects: pass full pathname to callbacks When we find a blob at "a/b/c", we currently pass this to our show_object_fn callbacks as two components: "a/b/" and "c". Callbacks which want the full value then call path_name(), which concatenates the two. But this is an inefficient interface; the path is a strbuf, and we could simply append "c" to it temporarily, then roll back the length, without creating a new copy. So we could improve this by teaching the callsites of path_name() this trick (and there are only 3). But we can also notice that no callback actually cares about the broken-down representation, and simply pass each callback the full path "a/b/c" as a string. The callback code becomes even simpler, then, as we do not have to worry about freeing an allocated buffer, nor rolling back our modification to the strbuf. This is theoretically less efficient, as some callbacks would not bother to format the final path component. But in practice this is not measurable. Since we use the same strbuf over and over, our work to grow it is amortized, and we really only pay to memcpy a few bytes.

Jeff King	9d98bbf578	pack-revindex: store entries directly in packed_git A pack_revindex struct has two elements: the revindex entries themselves, and a pointer to the packed_git. We need both to do lookups, because only the latter knows things like the number of objects in the pack. Now that packed_git contains the pack_revindex struct it's just as easy to pass around the packed_git itself, and we do not need the extra back-pointer. We can instead just store the entries directly in the pack. All functions which took a pack_revindex now just take a packed_git. We still lazy-load in find_pack_revindex, so most callers are unaffected. The exception is the bitmap code, which computes the revindex and caches the pointer when we load the bitmaps. We can continue to load, drop the extra cache pointer, and just access bitmap_git.pack.revindex directly.

Jeff King	9ae97018fb	use strip_suffix and xstrfmt to replace suffix When we want to convert "foo.pack" to "foo.idx", we do it by duplicating the original string and then munging the bytes in place. Let's use strip_suffix and xstrfmt instead, which has several advantages: 1. It's more clear what the intent is. 2. It does not implicitly rely on the fact that strlen(".idx") <= strlen(".pack") to avoid an overflow. 3. We communicate the assumption that the input file ends with ".pack" (and get a run-time check that this is so). 4. We drop calls to strcpy, which makes auditing the code base easier. Likewise, we can do this to convert ".pack" to ".bitmap", avoiding some manual memory computation.

This way we don't allocate too much and don't have to free the memory at the end. The old code over-allocated because it reserved enough memory to store all of the structs it is only pointing to and never freed it. 160 64-bit pointers take up 1280 bytes, which is not too much to be placed on the stack. MAX_XOR_OFFSET is turned into a preprocessor constant to make it constant enough for use in an non-variable array declaration.

That's OK as long as the code is correct without the attribute, but in this case it is not. We would typically end up with a struct that is 2 bytes too long due to struct padding, breaking both reading and writing of bitmaps. Instead of marshalling the data in a struct, let's just provide helpers for reading and writing the appropriate types.

Vicent Marti	2db1a43f41	add `ignore_missing_links` mode to revwalk When pack-objects is computing the reachability bitmap to serve a fetch request, it can erroneously die() if some of the UNINTERESTING objects are not present. Upload-pack throws away HAVE lines from the client for objects we do not have, but we may have a tip object without all of its ancestors (e.g., if the tip is no longer reachable and was new enough to survive a `git prune`, but some of its reachable objects did get pruned). In the non-bitmap case, we do a revision walk with the HAVE objects marked as UNINTERESTING. The revision walker explicitly ignores errors in accessing UNINTERESTING commits to handle this case (and we do not bother looking at UNINTERESTING trees or blobs at all). When we have bitmaps, however, the process is quite different. The bitmap index for a pack-objects run is calculated in two separate steps: First, we perform an extensive walk from all the HAVEs to find the full set of objects reachable from them. This walk is usually optimized away because we are expected to hit an object with a bitmap during the traversal, which allows us to terminate early. Secondly, we perform an extensive walk from all the WANTs, which usually also terminates early because we hit a commit with an existing bitmap. Once we have the resulting bitmaps from the two walks, we AND-NOT them together to obtain the resulting set of objects we need to pack. When we are walking the HAVE objects, the revision walker does not know that we are walking it only to mark the results as uninteresting. We strip out the UNINTERESTING flag, because those objects _are_ interesting to us during the first walk. We want to keep going to get a complete set of reachable objects if we can. We need some way to tell the revision walker that it's OK to silently truncate the HAVE walk, just like it does for the UNINTERESTING case. This patch introduces a new `ignore_missing_links` flag to the `rev_info` struct, which we set only for the HAVE walk. It also adds tests to cover UNINTERESTING objects missing from several positions: a missing blob, a missing tree, and a missing parent commit. The missing blob already worked (as we do not care about its contents at all), but the other two cases caused us to die(). Note that there are a few cases we do not need to test: 1. We do not need to test a missing tree, with the blob still present. Without the tree that refers to it, we would not know that the blob is relevant to our walk. 2. We do not need to test a tip commit that is missing. Upload-pack omits these for us (and in fact, we complain even in the non-bitmap case if it fails to do so).

Vicent Marti	ae4f07fbcc	pack-bitmap: implement optional name_hash cache When we use pack bitmaps rather than walking the object graph, we end up with the list of objects to include in the packfile, but we do not know the path at which any tree or blob objects would be found. In a recently packed repository, this is fine. A fetch would use the paths only as a heuristic in the delta compression phase, and a fully packed repository should not need to do much delta compression. As time passes, though, we may acquire more objects on top of our large bitmapped pack. If clients fetch frequently, then they never even look at the bitmapped history, and all works as usual. However, a client who has not fetched since the last bitmap repack will have "have" tips in the bitmapped history, but "want" newer objects. The bitmaps themselves degrade gracefully in this circumstance. We manually walk the more recent bits of history, and then use bitmaps when we hit them. But we would also like to perform delta compression between the newer objects and the bitmapped objects (both to delta against what we know the user already has, but also between "new" and "old" objects that the user is fetching). The lack of pathnames makes our delta heuristics much less effective. This patch adds an optional cache of the 32-bit name_hash values to the end of the bitmap file. If present, a reader can use it to match bitmapped and non-bitmapped names during delta compression. Here are perf results for p5310: Test origin/master HEAD^ HEAD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5310.2: repack to disk 36.81(37.82+1.43) 47.70(48.74+1.41) +29.6% 47.75(48.70+1.51) +29.7% 5310.3: simulated clone 30.78(29.70+2.14) 1.08(0.97+0.10) -96.5% 1.07(0.94+0.12) -96.5% 5310.4: simulated fetch 3.16(6.10+0.08) 3.54(10.65+0.06) +12.0% 1.70(3.07+0.06) -46.2% 5310.6: partial bitmap 36.76(43.19+1.81) 6.71(11.25+0.76) -81.7% 4.08(6.26+0.46) -88.9% You can see that the time spent on an incremental fetch goes down, as our delta heuristics are able to do their work.

Vicent Marti	7cc8f97108	pack-objects: implement bitmap writing This commit extends more the functionality of `pack-objects` by allowing it to write out a `.bitmap` index next to any written packs, together with the `.idx` index that currently gets written. If bitmap writing is enabled for a given repository (either by calling `pack-objects` with the `--write-bitmap-index` flag or by having `pack.writebitmaps` set to `true` in the config) and pack-objects is writing a packfile that would normally be indexed (i.e. not piping to stdout), we will attempt to write the corresponding bitmap index for the packfile. Bitmap index writing happens after the packfile and its index has been successfully written to disk (`finish_tmp_packfile`). The process is performed in several steps: 1. `bitmap_writer_set_checksum`: this call stores the partial checksum for the packfile being written; the checksum will be written in the resulting bitmap index to verify its integrity 2. `bitmap_writer_build_type_index`: this call uses the array of `struct object_entry` that has just been sorted when writing out the actual packfile index to disk to generate 4 type-index bitmaps (one for each object type). These bitmaps have their nth bit set if the given object is of the bitmap's type. E.g. the nth bit of the Commits bitmap will be 1 if the nth object in the packfile index is a commit. This is a very cheap operation because the bitmap writing code has access to the metadata stored in the `struct object_entry` array, and hence the real type for each object in the packfile. 3. `bitmap_writer_reuse_bitmaps`: if there exists an existing bitmap index for one of the packfiles we're trying to repack, this call will efficiently rebuild the existing bitmaps so they can be reused on the new index. All the existing bitmaps will be stored in a `reuse` hash table, and the commit selection phase will prioritize these when selecting, as they can be written directly to the new index without having to perform a revision walk to fill the bitmap. This can greatly speed up the repack of a repository that already has bitmaps. 4. `bitmap_writer_select_commits`: if bitmap writing is enabled for a given `pack-objects` run, the sequence of commits generated during the Counting Objects phase will be stored in an array. We then use that array to build up the list of selected commits. Writing a bitmap in the index for each object in the repository would be cost-prohibitive, so we use a simple heuristic to pick the commits that will be indexed with bitmaps. The current heuristics are a simplified version of JGit's original implementation. We select a higher density of commits depending on their age: the 100 most recent commits are always selected, after that we pick 1 commit of each 100, and the gap increases as the commits grow older. On top of that, we make sure that every single branch that has not been merged (all the tips that would be required from a clone) gets their own bitmap, and when selecting commits between a gap, we tend to prioritize the commit with the most parents. Do note that there is no right/wrong way to perform commit selection; different selection algorithms will result in different commits being selected, but there's no such thing as "missing a commit". The bitmap walker algorithm implemented in `prepare_bitmap_walk` is able to adapt to missing bitmaps by performing manual walks that complete the bitmap: the ideal selection algorithm, however, would select the commits that are more likely to be used as roots for a walk in the future (e.g. the tips of each branch, and so on) to ensure a bitmap for them is always available. 5. `bitmap_writer_build`: this is the computationally expensive part of bitmap generation. Based on the list of commits that were selected in the previous step, we perform several incremental walks to generate the bitmap for each commit. The walks begin from the oldest commit, and are built up incrementally for each branch. E.g. consider this dag where A, B, C, D, E, F are the selected commits, and a, b, c, e are a chunk of simplified history that will not receive bitmaps. A---a---B--b--C--c--D \ E--e--F We start by building the bitmap for A, using A as the root for a revision walk and marking all the objects that are reachable until the walk is over. Once this bitmap is stored, we reuse the bitmap walker to perform the walk for B, assuming that once we reach A again, the walk will be terminated because A has already been SEEN on the previous walk. This process is repeated for C, and D, but when we try to generate the bitmaps for E, we can reuse neither the current walk nor the bitmap we have generated so far. What we do now is resetting both the walk and clearing the bitmap, and performing the walk from scratch using E as the origin. This new walk, however, does not need to be completed. Once we hit B, we can lookup the bitmap we have already stored for that commit and OR it with the existing bitmap we've composed so far, allowing us to limit the walk early. After all the bitmaps have been generated, another iteration through the list of commits is performed to find the best XOR offsets for compression before writing them to disk. Because of the incremental nature of these bitmaps, XORing one of them with its predecesor results in a minimal "bitmap delta" most of the time. We can write this delta to the on-disk bitmap index, and then re-compose the original bitmaps by XORing them again when loaded. This is a phase very similar to pack-object's `find_delta` (using bitmaps instead of objects, of course), except the heuristics have been greatly simplified: we only check the 10 bitmaps before any given one to find best compressing one. This gives good results in practice, because there is locality in the ordering of the objects (and therefore bitmaps) in the packfile. 6. `bitmap_writer_finish`: the last step in the process is serializing to disk all the bitmap data that has been generated in the two previous steps. The bitmap is written to a tmp file and then moved atomically to its final destination, using the same process as `pack-write.c:write_idx_file`.

Vicent Marti	fff42755ef	pack-bitmap: add support for bitmap indexes A bitmap index is a `.bitmap` file that can be found inside `$GIT_DIR/objects/pack/`, next to its corresponding packfile, and contains precalculated reachability information for selected commits. The full specification of the format for these bitmap indexes can be found in `Documentation/technical/bitmap-format.txt`. For a given commit SHA1, if it happens to be available in the bitmap index, its bitmap will represent every single object that is reachable from the commit itself. The nth bit in the bitmap is the nth object in the packfile; if it's set to 1, the object is reachable. By using the bitmaps available in the index, this commit implements several new functions: - `prepare_bitmap_git` - `prepare_bitmap_walk` - `traverse_bitmap_commit_list` - `reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap` The `prepare_bitmap_walk` function tries to build a bitmap of all the objects that can be reached from the commit roots of a given `rev_info` struct by using the following algorithm: - If all the interesting commits for a revision walk are available in the index, the resulting reachability bitmap is the bitwise OR of all the individual bitmaps. - When the full set of WANTs is not available in the index, we perform a partial revision walk using the commits that don't have bitmaps as roots, and limiting the revision walk as soon as we reach a commit that has a corresponding bitmap. The earlier OR'ed bitmap with all the indexed commits can now be completed as this walk progresses, so the end result is the full reachability list. - For revision walks with a HAVEs set (a set of commits that are deemed uninteresting), first we perform the same method as for the WANTs, but using our HAVEs as roots, in order to obtain a full reachability bitmap of all the uninteresting commits. This bitmap then can be used to: a) limit the subsequent walk when building the WANTs bitmap b) finding the final set of interesting commits by performing an AND-NOT of the WANTs and the HAVEs. If `prepare_bitmap_walk` runs successfully, the resulting bitmap is stored and the equivalent of a `traverse_commit_list` call can be performed by using `traverse_bitmap_commit_list`; the bitmap version of this call yields the objects straight from the packfile index (without having to look them up or parse them) and hence is several orders of magnitude faster. As an extra optimization, when `prepare_bitmap_walk` succeeds, the `reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap` call can be attempted: it will find the amount of objects at the beginning of the on-disk packfile that can be reused as-is, and return an offset into the packfile. The source packfile can then be loaded and the bytes up to `offset` can be written directly to the result without having to consider the entires inside the packfile individually. If the `prepare_bitmap_walk` call fails (e.g. because no bitmap files are available), the `rev_info` struct is left untouched, and can be used to perform a manual rev-walk using `traverse_commit_list`. Hence, this new set of functions are a generic API that allows to perform the equivalent of git rev-list --objects [roots...] [^uninteresting...] for any set of commits, even if they don't have specific bitmaps generated for them. In further patches, we'll use this bitmap traversal optimization to speed up the `pack-objects` and `rev-list` commands.
