2013-12-30pack-objects: implement bitmap writingLibravatar Vicent Marti8-0/+711
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`.

2013-12-30rev-list: add bitmap mode to speed up object listsLibravatar Vicent Marti3-0/+48
The bitmap reachability index used to speed up the counting objects phase during `pack-objects` can also be used to optimize a normal rev-list if the only thing required are the SHA1s of the objects during the list (i.e., not the path names at which trees and blobs were found). Calling `git rev-list --objects --use-bitmap-index [committish]` will perform an object iteration based on a bitmap result instead of actually walking the object graph. These are some example timings for `torvalds/linux` (warm cache, best-of-five): $ time git rev-list --objects master > /dev/null real 0m34.191s user 0m33.904s sys 0m0.268s $ time git rev-list --objects --use-bitmap-index master > /dev/null real 0m1.041s user 0m0.976s sys 0m0.064s Likewise, using `git rev-list --count --use-bitmap-index` will speed up the counting operation by building the resulting bitmap and performing a fast popcount (number of bits set on the bitmap) on the result. Here are some sample timings of different ways to count commits in `torvalds/linux`: $ time git rev-list master | wc -l 399882 real 0m6.524s user 0m6.060s sys 0m3.284s $ time git rev-list --count master 399882 real 0m4.318s user 0m4.236s sys 0m0.076s $ time git rev-list --use-bitmap-index --count master 399882 real 0m0.217s user 0m0.176s sys 0m0.040s This also respects negative refs, so you can use it to count a slice of history: $ time git rev-list --count v3.0..master 144843 real 0m1.971s user 0m1.932s sys 0m0.036s $ time git rev-list --use-bitmap-index --count v3.0..master real 0m0.280s user 0m0.220s sys 0m0.056s Though note that the closer the endpoints, the less it helps. In the traversal case, we have fewer commits to cross, so we take less time. But the bitmap time is dominated by generating the pack revindex, which is constant with respect to the refs given. Note that you cannot yet get a fast --left-right count of a symmetric difference (e.g., "--count --left-right master...topic"). The slow part of that walk actually happens during the merge-base determination when we parse "master...topic". Even though a count does not actually need to know the real merge base (it only needs to take the symmetric difference of the bitmaps), the revision code would require some refactoring to handle this case. Additionally, a `--test-bitmap` flag has been added that will perform the same rev-list manually (i.e. using a normal revwalk) and using bitmaps, and verify that the results are the same. This can be used to exercise the bitmap code, and also to verify that the contents of the .bitmap file are sane.

2013-12-30pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objectsLibravatar Vicent Marti2-0/+113
In this patch, we use the bitmap API to perform the `Counting Objects` phase in pack-objects, rather than a traditional walk through the object graph. For a reasonably-packed large repo, the time to fetch and clone is often dominated by the full-object revision walk during the Counting Objects phase. Using bitmaps can reduce the CPU time required on the server (and therefore start sending the actual pack data with less delay). For bitmaps to be used, the following must be true: 1. We must be packing to stdout (as a normal `pack-objects` from `upload-pack` would do). 2. There must be a .bitmap index containing at least one of the "have" objects that the client is asking for. 3. Bitmaps must be enabled (they are enabled by default, but can be disabled by setting `pack.usebitmaps` to false, or by using `--no-use-bitmap-index` on the command-line). If any of these is not true, we fall back to doing a normal walk of the object graph. Here are some sample timings from a full pack of `torvalds/linux` (i.e. something very similar to what would be generated for a clone of the repository) that show the speedup produced by various methods: [existing graph traversal] $ time git pack-objects --all --stdout --no-use-bitmap-index \ </dev/null >/dev/null Counting objects: 3237103, done.

2013-12-30pack-objects: split add_object_entryLibravatar Jeff King1-20/+78
This function actually does three things: 1. Check whether we've already added the object to our packing list. 2. Check whether the object meets our criteria for adding. 3. Actually add the object to our packing list. It's a little hard to see these three phases, because they happen linearly in the rather long function. Instead, this patch breaks them up into three separate helper functions. The result is a little easier to follow, though it unfortunately suffers from some optimization interdependencies between the stages (e.g., during step 3 we use the packing list index from step 1 and the packfile information from step 2). More importantly, though, the various parts can be composed differently, as they will be in the next patch. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-12-30pack-bitmap: add support for bitmap indexesLibravatar Vicent Marti4-0/+1353
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.

2013-12-30ewah: compressed bitmap implementationLibravatar Vicent Marti7-2/+1599
EWAH is a word-aligned compressed variant of a bitset (i.e. a data structure that acts as a 0-indexed boolean array for many entries). It uses a 64-bit run-length encoding (RLE) compression scheme, trading some compression for better processing speed. The goal of this word-aligned implementation is not to achieve the best compression, but rather to improve query processing time. As it stands right now, this EWAH implementation will always be more efficient storage-wise than its uncompressed alternative. EWAH arrays will be used as the on-disk format to store reachability bitmaps for all objects in a repository while keeping reasonable sizes, in the same way that JGit does. This EWAH implementation is a mostly straightforward port of the original `javaewah` library that JGit currently uses. The library is self-contained and has been embedded whole (4 files) inside the `ewah` folder to ease redistribution. The library is re-licensed under the GPLv2 with the permission of Daniel Lemire, the original author. The source code for the C version can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/vmg/libewok The original Java implementation can also be found on GitHub: https://github.com/lemire/javaewah [jc: stripped debug-only code per Peff's $gmane/239768] Signed-off-by: Vicent Marti <tanoku@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Helped-by: Ramsay Jones <ramsay@ramsay1.demon.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

If the field `include_check` has been set to a callback, this callback will be issued once for each commit before it is added to the "pending" list of the revwalk. If the include check returns 0, the commit will be marked as added but won't be pushed to the pending list, effectively limiting the walk.

2013-10-24pack-objects: refactor the packing listLibravatar Vicent Marti4-135/+200
The hash table that stores the packing list for a given `pack-objects` run was tightly coupled to the pack-objects code. In this commit, we refactor the hash table and the underlying storage array into a `packing_data` struct. The functionality for accessing and adding entries to the packing list is hence accessible from other parts of Git besides the `pack-objects` builtin. This refactoring is a requirement for further patches in this series that will require accessing the commit packing list from outside of `pack-objects`. The hash table implementation has been minimally altered: we now use table sizes which are always a power of two, to ensure a uniform index distribution in the array.
