Matheus Tavares 31877c9aec object-store: allow threaded access to object reading
Allow object reading to be performed by multiple threads protecting it
with an internal lock, the obj_read_mutex. The lock usage can be toggled
with enable_obj_read_lock() and disable_obj_read_lock(). Currently, the
functions which can be safely called in parallel are:
read_object_file_extended(), repo_read_object_file(),
read_object_file(), read_object_with_reference(), read_object(),
oid_object_info() and oid_object_info_extended(). It's also possible
to use obj_read_lock() and obj_read_unlock() to protect other sections
that cannot execute in parallel with object reading.

Probably there are many spots in the functions listed above that could
be executed unlocked (and thus, in parallel). But, for now, we are most
interested in allowing parallel access to zlib inflation. This is one of
the sections where object reading spends most of the time in (e.g. up to
one-third of git-grep's execution time in the chromium repo corresponds
to inflation) and it's already thread-safe. So, to take advantage of
that, the obj_read_mutex is released when calling git_inflate() and
re-acquired right after, for every calling spot in
oid_object_info_extended()'s call chain. We may refine this lock to also
exploit other possible parallel spots in the future, but for now,
threaded zlib inflation should already give great speedups for threaded
object reading callers.

Note that add_delta_base_cache() was also modified to skip adding
already present entries to the cache. This wasn't possible before, but
it would be now, with the parallel inflation. Take for example the
following situation, where two threads - A and B - are executing the
code at unpack_entry():

1. Thread A is performing the decompression of a base O (which is not
   yet in the cache) at PHASE II. Thread B is simultaneously trying to
   unpack O, but just starting at PHASE I.
2. Since O is not yet in the cache, B will go to PHASE II to also
   perform the decompression.
3. When they finish decompressing, one of them will get the object
   reading mutex and go to PHASE III while the other waits for the
   mutex. Let’s say A got the mutex first.
4. Thread A will add O to the cache, go throughout the rest of PHASE III
   and return.
5. Thread B gets the mutex, also add O to the cache (if the check wasn't
   there) and returns.

Finally, it is also important to highlight that the object reading lock
can only ensure thread-safety in the mentioned functions thanks to two
complementary mechanisms: the use of 'struct raw_object_store's
replace_mutex, which guards sections in the object reading machinery
that would otherwise be thread-unsafe; and the 'struct pack_window's
inuse_cnt, which protects window reading operations (such as the one
performed during the inflation of a packed object), allowing them to
execute without the acquisition of the obj_read_mutex.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
