2022-03-04transport: stop needlessly copying bundle header referencesÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-9/+16
Amend the logic added in fddf2ebe388 (transport: teach all vtables to allow fetch first, 2019-08-21) and save ourselves pointless work in fetch_refs_from_bundle(). The fetch_refs_from_bundle() caller doesn't care about the "struct ref *result" return value of get_refs_from_bundle(), and doesn't need any of the work we were doing in looping over the "data->header.references" in get_refs_from_bundle(). So this change saves us work, and also fixes a memory leak that we had when called from fetch_refs_from_bundle(). The other caller of get_refs_from_bundle() is the "get_refs_list" member we set up for the "struct transport_vtable bundle_vtable". That caller does care about the "struct ref *result" return value.

2022-03-04index-pack: fix memory leaksÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+5
Fix various memory leaks in "git index-pack", due to how tightly coupled this command is with the revision walking this doesn't make any new tests pass. But e.g. this now passes, and had several failures before, i.e. we still have failures in tests 3, 5 etc., which are being skipped here. ./t5300-pack-object.sh --run=1-2,4,6-27,30-42 It is a bit odd that we'll free "opts.anomaly", since the "opts" is a "struct pack_idx_option" declared in pack.h. In pack-write.c there's a reset_pack_idx_option(), but it only wipes the contents, but doesn't free() anything. Doing this here in cmd_index_pack() is correct because while the struct is declared in pack.h, this code in builtin/index-pack.c (in read_v2_anomalous_offsets()) is what allocates the "opts.anomaly", so we should also free it here.

In glibc >= 2.34 MALLOC_CHECK_ and MALLOC_PERTURB_ environment variables have been replaced by GLIBC_TUNABLES. Also the new glibc requires that you preload a library called libc_malloc_debug.so to get these features.

2022-03-04t/lib-gpg: kill all gpg components, not just gpg-agentTodd Zullinger1-1/+1
The gpg-agent is one of several processes that newer releases of GnuPG start automatically. Issue a kill to each of them to ensure they do not affect separate tests. (Yes, the separate GNUPGHOME should do that already. If we find that is case, we could drop the --kill entirely.) In terms of compatibility, the 'all' keyword was added to the --kill & --reload options in GnuPG 2.1.18. Debian and RHEL are often used as indicators of how a change might affect older systems we often try to support. - Debian Strech (old old stable), which has limited security support until June 2022, has GnuPG 2.1.18 (or 2.2.x in backports). - CentOS/RHEL 7, which is supported until June 2024, has GnuPG 2.0.22, which lacks the --kill option, so the change won't have any impact.

With gpgsm from gnupg-2.3, the changes to the trustlist.txt do not appear to be picked up without refreshing the gpg-agent. Use the 'all' keyword to reload all of the gpg components. The scdaemon is started as a child of gpg-agent, for example. We used to have a --kill at this spot, but I removed it in 2e285e7803 (t/lib-gpg: drop redundant killing of gpg-agent, 2019-02-07).

2022-03-04gpg-interface/gpgsm: fix for v2.3Fabian Stelzer3-7/+13
Checking if signing was successful will now accept '[GNUPG]: SIG_CREATED' on the beginning of the first or any subsequent line. Not just explictly the second one anymore. Gpgsm v2.3 changed its output when listing keys from `fingerprint` to `sha1/2 fpr`. This leads to the gpgsm tests silently not being executed because of a failed prerequisite. Switch to gpg's `--with-colons` output format when evaluating test prerequisites to make parsing more robust. This also allows us to combine the existing grep/cut/tr/echo pipe for writing the trustlist.txt into a single awk expression. Adjust error message checking in test for v2.3 specific output changes.

2022-03-03builtin/remote.c: show progress when renaming remote referencesTaylor Blau3-7/+29
When renaming a remote, Git needs to rename all remote tracking references to the remote's new name (e.g., renaming "refs/remotes/old/foo" to "refs/remotes/new/foo" when renaming a remote from "old" to "new"). This can be somewhat slow when there are many references to rename, since each rename is done in a separate call to rename_ref() as opposed to grouping all renames together into the same transaction. It would be nice to execute all renames as a single transaction, but there is a snag: the reference transaction backend doesn't support renames during a transaction (only individually, via rename_ref()). The reasons there are described in more detail in [1], but the main problem is that in order to preserve the existing reflog, it must be moved while holding both locks (i.e., on "oldname" and "newname"), and the ref transaction code doesn't support inserting arbitrary actions into the middle of a transaction like that. As an aside, adding support for this to the ref transaction code is less straightforward than inserting both a ref_update() and ref_delete() call into the same transaction. rename_ref()'s special handling to detect D/F conflicts would need to be rewritten for the transaction code if we wanted to proactively catch D/F conflicts when renaming a reference during a transaction. The reftable backend could support this much more readily because of its lack of D/F conflicts. Instead of a more complex modification to the ref transaction code, display a progress meter when running verbosely in order to convince the user that Git is doing work while renaming a remote. This is mostly done as-expected, with the minor caveat that we intentionally count symrefs renames twice, since renaming a symref takes place over two separate calls (one to delete the old one, and another to create the new one).

2022-03-03builtin/remote.c: parse options in 'rename'Taylor Blau1-3/+6
The 'git remote rename' command doesn't currently take any command-line arguments besides the existing and new name of a remote, and so has no need to call parse_options(). But the subsequent patch will add a `--[no-]progress` option, in which case we will need to call parse_options(). Do so now so as to avoid cluttering the following patch with noise, like adjusting setting `rename.{old,new}_name` to argv[0] and argv[1], since parse_options handles advancing argv past the name of the sub-command.

2022-03-03t5503: simplify setup of test which exercises failure of backfillPatrick Steinhardt1-15/+5
In the testcase to exercise backfilling of tags for fetches we evoke a failure of the backfilling mechanism by creating a reference that later on causes a D/F conflict. Because the assumption was that git-fetch(1) would notice the D/F conflict early on this conflicting reference was created via the reference-transaction hook just when we were about to write the backfilled tag. As it turns out though this is not the case, and the fetch fails in the same way when we create the conflicting ref up front. Simplify the test setup creating the reference up front, which allows us to get rid of the hook script. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2022-03-03Makefiles: add and use wildcard "mkdir -p" templateÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason3-27/+27
Add a template to do the "mkdir -p" of $(@D) (the parent dir of $@) for us, and use it for the "make lint-docs" targets I added in 8650c6298c1 (doc lint: make "lint-docs" non-.PHONY, 2021-10-15). As seen in 4c64fb5aad9 (Documentation/Makefile: fix lint-docs mkdir dependency, 2021-10-26) maintaining these manual lists of parent directory dependencies is fragile, in addition to being obviously verbose. I used this pattern at the time because I couldn't find another method than "order-only" prerequisites to avoid doing a "mkdir -p $(@D)" for every file being created, which as noted in [1] would be significantly slower. But as it turns out we can use this neat trick of only doing a "mkdir -p" if the $(wildcard) macro tells us the path doesn't exist. A re-run of a performance test similar to that noted downthread of [1] in [2] shows that this is faster, in addition to being less verbose and more reliable (this uses my "git-hyperfine" thin wrapper for "hyperfine"[3]): $ git -c hyperfine.hook.setup= hyperfine -L rev HEAD~1,HEAD~0 -s 'make -C Documentation lint-docs' -p 'rm -rf Documentation/.build' 'make -C Documentation -j1 lint-docs' Benchmark 1: make -C Documentation -j1 lint-docs' in 'HEAD~1 Time (mean ± σ): 2.914 s ± 0.062 s [User: 2.449 s, System: 0.489 s] Range (min … max): 2.834 s … 3.020 s 10 runs Benchmark 2: make -C Documentation -j1 lint-docs' in 'HEAD~0 Time (mean ± σ): 2.315 s ± 0.062 s [User: 1.950 s, System: 0.386 s] Range (min … max): 2.229 s … 2.397 s 10 runs Summary 'make -C Documentation -j1 lint-docs' in 'HEAD~0' ran 1.26 ± 0.04 times faster than 'make -C Documentation -j1 lint-docs' in 'HEAD~1' So let's use that pattern both for the "lint-docs" target, and a few miscellaneous other targets. This method of creating parent directories is explicitly racy in that we don't know if we're going to say always create a "foo" followed by a "foo/bar" under parallelism, or skip the "foo" because we created "foo/bar" first. In this case it doesn't matter for anything except that we aren't guaranteed to get the same number of rules firing when running make in parallel. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/211028.861r45y3pt.gmgdl@evledraar.gmail.com/ 2. https://lore.kernel.org/git/211028.86o879vvtp.gmgdl@evledraar.gmail.com/ 3. https://gitlab.com/avar/git-hyperfine/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The $(QUIET) variables we define are largely duplicated between our various Makefiles, let's define them in the new "shared.mak" instead. Since we're not using the environment to pass these around we don't need to export the "QUIET_GEN" and "QUIET_BUILT_IN" variables anymore. The "QUIET_GEN" variable is used in "git-gui/Makefile" and "gitweb/Makefile", but they've got their own definition for those. The "QUIET_BUILT_IN" variable is only used in the top-level "Makefile".

2022-03-03Makefile: move ".SUFFIXES" rule to shared.makÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason2-2/+5
This was added in 30248886ce8 (Makefile: disable default implicit rules, 2010-01-26), let's move it to the top of "shared.mak" so it'll apply to all our Makefiles. This doesn't benefit the main Makefile at all, since it already had the rule, but since we're including shared.mak in other Makefiles starts to benefit them. E.g. running the 'man" target is now faster: $ git -c hyperfine.hook.setup= hyperfine -L rev HEAD~1,HEAD~0 -s 'make -C Documentation man' 'make -C Documentation -j1 man' Benchmark 1: make -C Documentation -j1 man' in 'HEAD~1 Time (mean ± σ): 121.7 ms ± 8.8 ms [User: 105.8 ms, System: 18.6 ms] Range (min … max): 112.8 ms … 148.4 ms 26 runs Benchmark 2: make -C Documentation -j1 man' in 'HEAD~0 Time (mean ± σ): 97.5 ms ± 8.0 ms [User: 80.1 ms, System: 20.1 ms] Range (min … max): 89.8 ms … 111.8 ms 32 runs Summary 'make -C Documentation -j1 man' in 'HEAD~0' ran 1.25 ± 0.14 times faster than 'make -C Documentation -j1 man' in 'HEAD~1' The reason for that can be seen when comparing that run with "--debug=a". Without this change making a target like "git-status.1" will cause "make" to consider not only "git-status.txt", but "git-status.txt.o", as well as numerous other implicit suffixes such as ".c", ".cc", ".cpp" etc. See [1] for a more detailed before/after example. So this is causing us to omit a bunch of work we didn't need to do. For making "git-status.1" the "--debug=a" output is reduced from ~140k lines to ~6k. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/220222.86bkyz875k.gmgdl@evledraar.gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2022-03-03Makefile: disable GNU make built-in wildcard rulesÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+11
Override built-in rules of GNU make that use a wildcard target. This can speeds things up significantly as we don't need to stat() so many files. GNU make does that by default to see if it can retrieve their contents from RCS or SCCS. See [1] for an old mailing list discussion about how to disable these. The speed-up may vary. I've seen 1-10% depending on the speed of the local disk, caches, -jN etc. Running: strace -f -c -S calls make -j1 NO_TCLTK=Y Shows that we reduce the number of syscalls we make, mostly in "stat" calls. We could also invoke make with "-r" by setting "MAKEFLAGS = -r" early. Doing so might make us a bit faster still. But doing so is a much bigger hammer, since it will disable all built-in rules, some (all?) of which can be seen with: make -f/dev/null -p | grep -v -e ^# -e ^$ We may have something that relies on them, so let's go for the more isolated optimization here that gives us most or all of the wins. 1. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-make/2002-11/msg00063.html Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2022-03-03Makefiles: add "shared.mak", move ".DELETE_ON_ERROR" to itÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason9-13/+33
We have various behavior that's shared across our Makefiles, or that really should be (e.g. via defined templates). Let's create a top-level "shared.mak" to house those sorts of things, and start by adding the ".DELETE_ON_ERROR" flag to it. See my own 7b76d6bf221 (Makefile: add and use the ".DELETE_ON_ERROR" flag, 2021-06-29) and db10fc6c09f (doc: simplify Makefile using .DELETE_ON_ERROR, 2021-05-21) for the addition and use of the ".DELETE_ON_ERROR" flag. I.e. this changes the behavior of existing rules in the altered Makefiles (except "Makefile" & "Documentation/Makefile"). I'm confident that this is safe having read the relevant rules in those Makfiles, and as the GNU make manual notes that it isn't the default behavior is out of an abundance of backwards compatibility caution. From edition 0.75 of its manual, covering GNU make 4.3: [Enabling '.DELETE_ON_ERROR' is] almost always what you want 'make' to do, but it is not historical practice; so for compatibility, you must explicitly request it. This doesn't introduce a bug by e.g. having this ".DELETE_ON_ERROR" flag only apply to this new shared.mak, Makefiles have no such scoping semantics. It does increase the danger that any Makefile without an explicit "The default target of this Makefile is..." snippet to define the default target as "all" could have its default rule changed if our new shared.mak ever defines a "real" rule. In subsequent commits we'll be careful not to do that, and such breakage would be obvious e.g. in the case of "make -C t". We might want to make that less fragile still (e.g. by using ".DEFAULT_GOAL" as noted in the preceding commit), but for now let's simply include "shared.mak" without adding that boilerplate to all the Makefiles that don't have it already. Most of those are already exposed to that potential caveat e.g. due to including "config.mak*".

Sometimes this expectation would be violated however; including in cases such as: * users grabbing files from elsewhere and writing them to the worktree (perhaps by editing a cached copy in an editor, copying/renaming, or even untarring) * various git commands having incomplete or no support for the SKIP_WORKTREE bit[1,2] * users attempting to "abort" a sparse-checkout operation with a not-so-early Ctrl+C (updating $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout and the working tree is not atomic)[3]. When the SKIP_WORKTREE bit in the index did not reflect the presence of the file in the working tree, it traditionally caused confusion and was difficult to detect and recover from. So, in a sparse checkout, since af6a51875a (repo_read_index: clear SKIP_WORKTREE bit from files present in worktree, 2022-01-14), Git automatically clears the SKIP_WORKTREE bit at index read time for entries corresponding to files that are present in the working tree. There is another workflow, however, where it is expected that paths outside the sparsity patterns appear to exist in the working tree and that they do not lose the SKIP_WORKTREE bit, at least until they get modified. A Git-aware virtual file system[4] takes advantage of its position as a file system driver to expose all files in the working tree, fetch them on demand using partial clone on access, and tell Git to pay attention to them on demand by updating the sparse checkout pattern on writes. This means that commands like "git status" only have to examine files that have potentially been modified, whereas commands like "ls" are able to show the entire codebase without requiring manual updates to the sparse checkout pattern. Thus since af6a51875a, Git with such Git-aware virtual file systems unsets the SKIP_WORKTREE bit for all files and commands like "git status" have to fetch and examine them all. Introduce a configuration setting sparse.expectFilesOutsideOfPatterns to allow limiting the tracked set of files to a small set once again. A Git-aware virtual file system or other application that wants to maintain files outside of the sparse checkout can set this in a repository to instruct Git not to check for the presence of SKIP_WORKTREE files. The setting defaults to false, so most users of sparse checkout will still get the benefit of an automatically updating index to recover from the variety of difficult issues detailed in af6a51875a for paths with SKIP_WORKTREE set despite the path being present.

2022-03-01t7063: mtime-mangling instead of delays in untracked cache testingTao Klerks1-12/+9
The untracked cache test uses an avoid_racy function to deal with an mtime-resolution challenge in testing: If an untracked cache entry's mtime falls in the same second as the mtime of the index the untracked cache was stored in, then it cannot be trusted. Explicitly delaying tests is a simple effective strategy to avoid these issues, but should be avoided where possible. Switch from a delay-based strategy to instead backdating all file changes using test-tool chmtime, where that is an option, to shave 9 seconds off the test run time.

As with two-way merge, the 't/t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh' test 'read-tree --merge with edit/edit conflicts in sparse directories' confirms that three-way merges with edit/edit changes (both with and without conflicts) inside a sparse directory result in the correct index state or error message.

2022-03-01read-tree: make two-way merge sparse-awareVictoria Dye3-6/+78
Enable two-way merge with 'git read-tree' without expanding the sparse index. When in a sparse index, a two-way merge will trivially succeed as long as there are not changes to the same sparse directory in multiple trees (i.e., sparse directory-level "edit-edit" conflicts). If there are such conflicts, the merge will fail despite the possibility that individual files could merge cleanly. In order to resolve these "edit-edit" conflicts, "conflicted" sparse directories are - rather than rejected - merged by traversing their associated trees by OID. For each child of the sparse directory: 1. Files are merged as normal (see Documentation/git-read-tree.txt for details). 2. Subdirectories are treated as sparse directories and merged in 'twoway_merge'. If there are no conflicts, they are merged according to the rules in Documentation/git-read-tree.txt; otherwise, the subdirectory is recursively traversed and merged. This process allows sparse directories to be individually merged at the necessary depth *without* expanding a full index. The 't/t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh' test 'read-tree --merge with edit/edit conflicts in sparse directories' tests two-way merges with 1) changes inside sparse directories that do not conflict and 2) changes that do conflict (with the correct file(s) reported in the error message). Additionally, add two-way merge cases to 'sparse index is not expanded: read-tree' to confirm that the index is not expanded regardless of whether edit/edit conflicts are present in a sparse directory.

2022-03-01read-tree: narrow scope of index expansion for '--prefix'Victoria Dye3-3/+46
When 'git read-tree' is provided with a prefix, expand the index only if the prefix is equivalent to a sparse directory or contained within one. If the index is not expanded in these cases, 'ce_in_traverse_path' will indicate that the relevant sparse directory is not in the prefix/traverse path, skipping past it and not unpacking the appropriate tree(s). If the prefix is in-cone, its sparse subdirectories (if any) will be traversed correctly without index expansion. The behavior of 'git read-tree' with prefixes 1) inside of cone, 2) equal to a sparse directory, and 3) inside a sparse directory are all tested as part of the 't/t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh' test 'read-tree --prefix', ensuring that the sparse index case works the way it did prior to this change as well as matching non-sparse index sparse-checkout.

2022-03-01read-tree: explicitly disallow prefixes with a leading '/'Victoria Dye2-0/+14
Exit with an error if a prefix provided to `git read-tree --prefix` begins with '/'. In most cases, prefixes like this result in an "invalid path" error; however, the repository root would be interpreted as valid when specified as '--prefix=/'. This is due to leniency around trailing directory separators on prefixes (e.g., allowing both '--prefix=my-dir' and '--prefix=my-dir/') - the '/' in the prefix is actually the *trailing* slash, although it could be misinterpreted as a *leading* slash.

2022-03-01status: fix nested sparse directory diff in sparse indexVictoria Dye2-0/+16
Enable the 'recursive' diff option for the diff executed as part of 'git status'. Without the 'recursive' enabled, 'git status' reports index changes incorrectly when the following conditions were met: * sparse index is enabled * there is a difference between the index and HEAD in a file inside a *subdirectory* of a sparse directory * the sparse directory index entry is *not* expanded in-core Because it is not recursive by default, the diff in 'git status' reports changes only at the level of files and directories that are immediate children of a sparse directory, rather than recursing into directories with changes to identify the modified file(s). As a result, 'git status' reports the immediate subdirectory itself as "modified". Example: $ git init $ mkdir -p sparse/sub $ echo test >sparse/sub/foo $ git add . $ git commit -m "commit 1" $ echo somethingelse >sparse/sub/foo $ git add . $ git commit -a -m "commit 2" $ git sparse-checkout set --cone --sparse-index 'sparse' $ git reset --soft HEAD~1 $ git status On branch master You are in a sparse checkout. Changes to be committed: (use "git restore --staged <file>..." to unstage) modified: sparse/sub Enabling the 'recursive' diff option in 'wt_status_collect_changes_index' corrects this issue by allowing the diff to recurse into subdirectories of sparse directories to find modified files. Given the same repository setup as the example above, the corrected result of `git status` is: $ git status On branch master You are in a sparse checkout.

2022-03-01sparse-index: prevent repo root from becoming sparseVictoria Dye2-3/+22
Prevent the repository root from being collapsed into a sparse directory by treating an empty path as "inside the sparse-checkout". When collapsing a sparse index (e.g. in 'git sparse-checkout reapply'), the root directory typically could not become a sparse directory due to the presence of in-cone root-level files and directories. However, if no such in-cone files or directories were present, there was no explicit check signaling that the "repository root path" (an empty string, in the case of 'convert_to_sparse(...)') was in-cone, and a sparse directory index entry would be created from the repository root directory. The documentation in Documentation/git-sparse-checkout.txt explicitly states that the files in the root directory are expected to be in-cone for a cone-mode sparse-checkout. Collapsing the root into a sparse directory entry violates that assumption, as sparse directory entries are expected to be outside the sparse cone and have SKIP_WORKTREE enabled. This invalid state in turn causes issues with commands that interact with the index, e.g. 'git status'. Treating an empty (root) path as in-cone prevents the creation of a root sparse directory in 'convert_to_sparse(...)'. Because the repository root is otherwise never compared with sparse patterns (in both cone-mode and non-cone sparse-checkouts), the new check does not cause additional changes to how sparse patterns are applied.

2022-03-01commit-graph: fix generation number v2 overflow valuesDerrick Stolee2-1/+28
The Generation Data Chunk was implemented and tested in e8b63005c (commit-graph: implement generation data chunk, 2021-01-16), but the test was carefully constructed to work on systems with 32-bit dates. Since the corrected commit date offsets still required more than 31 bits, this triggered writing the generation_data_overflow chunk. However, upon closer look, the write_graph_chunk_generation_data_overflow() method writes the offsets to the chunk (as dictated by the format) but fill_commit_graph_info() treats the value in the chunk as if it is the full corrected commit date (not an offset). For some reason, this does not cause an issue when using the FUTURE_DATE specified in t5318-commit-graph.sh, but it does show up as a failure in 'git commit-graph verify' if we increase that FUTURE_DATE to be above four billion. Fix this error and create a 64-bit timestamp version of the test so we can test these larger values.

2022-03-01commit-graph: start parsing generation v2 (again)Derrick Stolee5-5/+23
The 'read_generation_data' member of 'struct commit_graph' was introduced by 1fdc383c5 (commit-graph: use generation v2 only if entire chain does, 2021-01-16). The intention was to avoid using corrected commit dates if not all layers of a commit-graph had that data stored. The logic in validate_mixed_generation_chain() at that point incorrectly initialized read_generation_data to 1 if and only if the tip commit-graph contained the Corrected Commit Date chunk. This was "fixed" in 448a39e65 (commit-graph: validate layers for generation data, 2021-02-02) to validate that read_generation_data was either non-zero for all layers, or it would set read_generation_data to zero for all layers. The problem here is that read_generation_data is not initialized to be non-zero anywhere! This change initializes read_generation_data immediately after the chunk is parsed, so each layer will have its value present as soon as possible. The read_generation_data member is used in fill_commit_graph_info() to determine if we should use the corrected commit date or the topological levels stored in the Commit Data chunk. Due to this bug, all previous versions of Git were defaulting to topological levels in all cases! This can be measured with some performance tests. Using the Linux kernel as a testbed, I generated a complete commit-graph containing corrected commit dates and tested the 'new' version against the previous, 'old' version. First, rev-list with --topo-order demonstrates a 26% improvement using corrected commit dates: hyperfine \ -n "old" "$OLD_GIT rev-list --topo-order -1000 v3.6" \ -n "new" "$NEW_GIT rev-list --topo-order -1000 v3.6" \ --warmup=10 Benchmark 1: old Time (mean ± σ): 57.1 ms ± 3.1 ms Range (min … max): 52.9 ms … 62.0 ms 55 runs Benchmark 2: new Time (mean ± σ): 45.5 ms ± 3.3 ms Range (min … max): 39.9 ms … 51.7 ms 59 runs Summary 'new' ran 1.26 ± 0.11 times faster than 'old' These performance improvements are due to the algorithmic improvements given by walking fewer commits due to the higher cutoffs from corrected commit dates. However, this comes at a cost. The additional I/O cost of parsing the corrected commit dates is visible in case of merge-base commands that do not reduce the overall number of walked commits. hyperfine \ -n "old" "$OLD_GIT merge-base v4.8 v4.9" \ -n "new" "$NEW_GIT merge-base v4.8 v4.9" \ --warmup=10 Benchmark 1: old Time (mean ± σ): 110.4 ms ± 6.4 ms Range (min … max): 96.0 ms … 118.3 ms 25 runs Benchmark 2: new Time (mean ± σ): 150.7 ms ± 1.1 ms Range (min … max): 149.3 ms … 153.4 ms 19 runs Summary 'old' ran 1.36 ± 0.08 times faster than 'new' Performance issues like this are what motivated 702110aac (commit-graph: use config to specify generation type, 2021-02-25). In the future, we could fix this performance problem by inserting the corrected commit date offsets into the Commit Date chunk instead of having that data in an extra chunk.

2022-03-01commit-graph: fix ordering bug in generation numbersDerrick Stolee3-5/+48
When computing the generation numbers for a commit-graph, we compute the corrected commit dates and then check if their offsets from the actual dates is too large to fit in the 32-bit Generation Data chunk. However, there is a problem with this approach: if we have parsed the generation data from the previous commit-graph, then we continue the loop because the corrected commit date is already computed. This causes an under-count in the number of overflow values. It is incorrect to add an increment to num_generation_data_overflows next to this 'continue' statement, because we might start double-counting commits that are computed because of the depth-first search walk from a commit with an earlier OID. Instead, iterate over the full commit list at the end, checking the offsets to see how many grow beyond the maximum value. Create a new t5328-commit-graph-64-bit-time.sh test script to handle special cases of testing 64-bit timestamps. This helps demonstrate this bug in more cases. It still won't hit all potential cases until the next change, which reenables reading generation numbers. Use the skip_all trick from 0a2bfccb9c8 (t0051: use "skip_all" under !MINGW in single-test file, 2022-02-04) to make the output clean when run on a 32-bit system.

2022-03-01refs/files-backend: optimize reading of symbolic refsPatrick Steinhardt1-6/+28
When reading references via `files_read_raw_ref()` we always consult both the loose reference, and if that wasn't found, we also consult the packed-refs file. While this makes sense to read a generic reference, it is wasteful in the case where we only care about symbolic references: the packed-refs backend does not support them, and thus it cannot ever return one for us. Special-case reading of symbolic references for the files backend such that we always skip asking the packed-refs backend. We use `refs_read_symbolic_ref()` extensively to determine whether we need to skip updating local symbolic references during a fetch, which is why the change results in a significant speedup when doing fetches in repositories with huge numbers of references. The following benchmark executes a mirror-fetch in a repository with about 2 million references via `git fetch --prune --no-write-fetch-head +refs/*:refs/*`: Benchmark 1: HEAD~ Time (mean ± σ): 68.372 s ± 2.344 s [User: 65.629 s, System: 8.786 s] Range (min … max): 65.745 s … 70.246 s 3 runs Benchmark 2: HEAD Time (mean ± σ): 60.259 s ± 0.343 s [User: 61.019 s, System: 7.245 s] Range (min … max): 60.003 s … 60.649 s 3 runs Summary 'HEAD' ran 1.13 ± 0.04 times faster than 'HEAD~' Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2022-03-01refs: add ability for backends to special-case reading of symbolic refsPatrick Steinhardt6-0/+39
Reading of symbolic and non-symbolic references is currently treated the same in reference backends: we always call `refs_read_raw_ref()` and then decide based on the returned flags what type it is. This has one downside though: symbolic references may be treated different from normal references in a backend from normal references. The packed-refs backend for example doesn't even know about symbolic references, and as a result it is pointless to even ask it for one. There are cases where we really only care about whether a reference is symbolic or not, but don't care about whether it exists at all or may be a non-symbolic reference. But it is not possible to optimize for this case right now, and as a consequence we will always first check for a loose reference to exist, and if it doesn't, we'll query the packed-refs backend for a known-to-not-be-symbolic reference. This is inefficient and requires us to search all packed references even though we know to not care for the result at all. Introduce a new function `refs_read_symbolic_ref()` which allows us to fix this case. This function will only ever return symbolic references and can thus optimize for the scenario layed out above. By default, if the backend doesn't provide an implementation for it, we just use the old code path and fall back to `read_raw_ref()`. But in case the backend provides its own, more efficient implementation, we will use that one instead. Note that this function is explicitly designed to not distinguish between missing references and non-symbolic references. If it did, we'd be forced to always search the packed-refs backend to see whether the symbolic reference the user asked for really doesn't exist, or if it exists as a non-symbolic reference.
