2020-10-29fast-rebase: demonstrate merge-ort's API via new test-tool commandLibravatar Elijah Newren1-0/+1
Add a new test-tool command named 'fast-rebase', which is a super-slimmed down and nowhere near as capable version of 'git rebase'. 'test-tool fast-rebase' is not currently planned for usage in the testsuite, but is here for two purposes: 1) Demonstrate the desired API of merge-ort. In particular, fast-rebase takes advantage of the separation of the merging operation from the updating of the index and working tree, to allow it to pick N commits, but only update the index and working tree once at the end. Look for the calls to merge_incore_nonrecursive() and merge_switch_to_result(). 2) Provide a convenient benchmark that isn't polluted by the heavy disk writing and forking of unnecessary processes that comes from sequencer.c and merge-recursive.c. fast-rebase is not meant to replace sequencer.c, just give ideas on how sequencer.c can be changed. Updating sequencer.c with these goals is probably a large amount of work; writing a simple targeted command with no documentation, less-than-useful help messages, numerous limitations in terms of flags it can accept and situations it can handle, and which is flagged off from users is a much easier interim step.

2020-10-26merge-ort-wrappers: new convience wrappers to mimic the old merge APILibravatar Elijah Newren1-0/+1
There are a few differences between the new API in merge-ort and the old API in merge-recursive. While the new API is more flexible, it might feel like more work at times than the old API. merge-ort-wrappers creates two convenience wrappers taking the exact same arguments as the old merge_trees() and merge_recursive() functions and implements them via the new API. This makes converting existing callsites easier, and serves to highlight some of the differences in the API.

2020-10-26merge-ort: barebones API of new merge strategy with empty implementationLibravatar Elijah Newren1-0/+1
This is the beginning of a new merge strategy. While there are some API differences, and the implementation has some differences in behavior, it is essentially meant as an eventual drop-in replacement for merge-recursive.c. However, it is being built to exist side-by-side with merge-recursive so that we have plenty of time to find out how those differences pan out in the real world while people can still fall back to merge-recursive. (Also, I intend to avoid modifying merge-recursive during this process, to keep it stable.) The primary difference noticable here is that the updating of the working tree and index is not done simultaneously with the merge algorithm, but is a separate post-processing step. The new API is designed so that one can do repeated merges (e.g. during a rebase or cherry-pick) and only update the index and working tree one time at the end instead of updating it with every intermediate result. Also, one can perform a merge between two branches, neither of which match the index or the working tree, without clobbering the index or working tree. The next three commits will demonstrate various uses of this new API. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2020-10-21perl: check for perl warnings while running testsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+3
We set "use warnings" in most of our perl code to catch problems. But as the name implies, warnings just emit a message to stderr and don't otherwise affect the program. So our tests are quite likely to miss that warnings are being spewed, as most of them do not look at stderr. We could ask perl to make all warnings fatal, but this is likely annoying for non-developers, who would rather have a running program with a warning than something that refuses to work at all. So instead, let's teach the perl code to respect an environment variable (GIT_PERL_FATAL_WARNINGS) to increase the severity of the warnings. This can be set for day-to-day running if people want to be really pedantic, but the primary use is to trigger it within the test suite. We could also trigger that for every test run, but likewise even the tests failing may be annoying to distro builders, etc (just as -Werror would be for compiling C code). So we'll tie it to a special test-mode variable (GIT_TEST_PERL_FATAL_WARNINGS) that can be set in the environment or as a Makefile knob, and we'll automatically turn the knob when DEVELOPER=1 is set. That should give developers and CI the more careful view without disrupting normal users or packagers. Note that the mapping from the GIT_TEST_* form to the GIT_* form in test-lib.sh is necessary even if they had the same name: the perl scripts need it to be normalized to a perl truth value, and we also have to make sure it's exported (we might have gotten it from the environment, but we might also have gotten it from GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS directly).

2020-10-21SKIP_DASHED_BUILT_INS: do not skip the bin/ programsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-9/+6
The idea of the `SKIP_DASHED_BUILT_INS` option is to stop hard-linking the built-in commands as separate executables. The patches to do that specifically excluded the three commands `receive-pack`, `upload-archive` and `upload-pack`, though: these commands are expected to be present in the `PATH` in their dashed form on the server side of any fetch/push. However, due to an oversight by myself, even if those commands were still hard-linked, they were not installed into `bin/`.

2020-09-25maintenance: add start/stop subcommandsLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+1
Add new subcommands to 'git maintenance' that start or stop background maintenance using 'cron', when available. This integration is as simple as I could make it, barring some implementation complications. The schedule is laid out as follows: 0 1-23 * * * $cmd maintenance run --schedule=hourly 0 0 * * 1-6 $cmd maintenance run --schedule=daily 0 0 * * 0 $cmd maintenance run --schedule=weekly where $cmd is a properly-qualified 'git for-each-repo' execution: $cmd=$path/git --exec-path=$path for-each-repo --config=maintenance.repo where $path points to the location of the Git executable running 'git maintenance start'. This is critical for systems with multiple versions of Git. Specifically, macOS has a system version at '/usr/bin/git' while the version that users can install resides at '/usr/local/bin/git' (symlinked to '/usr/local/libexec/git-core/git'). This will also use your locally-built version if you build and run this in your development environment without installing first. This conditional schedule avoids having cron launch multiple 'git for-each-repo' commands in parallel. Such parallel commands would likely lead to the 'hourly' and 'daily' tasks competing over the object database lock. This could lead to to some tasks never being run! Since the --schedule=<frequency> argument will run all tasks with _at least_ the given frequency, the daily runs will also run the hourly tasks. Similarly, the weekly runs will also run the daily and hourly tasks. The GIT_TEST_CRONTAB environment variable is not intended for users to edit, but instead as a way to mock the 'crontab [-l]' command. This variable is set in test-lib.sh to avoid a future test from accidentally running anything with the cron integration from modifying the user's schedule. We use GIT_TEST_CRONTAB='test-tool crontab <file>' in our tests to check how the schedule is modified in 'git maintenance (start|stop)' commands.

2020-09-24bswap.h: drop unaligned loadsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+0
Our put_be32() routine and its variants (get_be32(), put_be64(), etc) has two implementations: on some platforms we cast memory in place and use nothl()/htonl(), which can cause unaligned memory access. And on others, we pick out the individual bytes using bitshifts. This introduces extra complexity, and sometimes causes compilers to generate warnings about type-punning. And it's not clear there's any performance advantage. This split goes back to 660231aa97 (block-sha1: support for architectures with memory alignment restrictions, 2009-08-12). The unaligned versions were part of the original block-sha1 code in d7c208a92e (Add new optimized C 'block-sha1' routines, 2009-08-05), which says it is: Based on the mozilla SHA1 routine, but doing the input data accesses a word at a time and with 'htonl()' instead of loading bytes and shifting. Back then, Linus provided timings versus the mozilla code which showed a 27% improvement: https://lore.kernel.org/git/alpine.LFD.2.01.0908051545000.3390@localhost.localdomain/ However, the unaligned loads were either not the useful part of that speedup, or perhaps compilers and processors have changed since then. Here are times for computing the sha1 of 4GB of random data, with and without -DNO_UNALIGNED_LOADS (and BLK_SHA1=1, of course). This is with gcc 10, -O2, and the processor is a Core i9-9880H. [stock] Benchmark #1: t/helper/test-tool sha1 <foo.rand Time (mean ± σ): 6.638 s ± 0.081 s [User: 6.269 s, System: 0.368 s] Range (min … max): 6.550 s … 6.841 s 10 runs [-DNO_UNALIGNED_LOADS] Benchmark #1: t/helper/test-tool sha1 <foo.rand Time (mean ± σ): 6.418 s ± 0.015 s [User: 6.058 s, System: 0.360 s] Range (min … max): 6.394 s … 6.447 s 10 runs And here's the same test run on an AMD A8-7600, using gcc 8. [stock] Benchmark #1: t/helper/test-tool sha1 <foo.rand Time (mean ± σ): 11.721 s ± 0.113 s [User: 10.761 s, System: 0.951 s] Range (min … max): 11.509 s … 11.861 s 10 runs [-DNO_UNALIGNED_LOADS] Benchmark #1: t/helper/test-tool sha1 <foo.rand Time (mean ± σ): 11.744 s ± 0.066 s [User: 10.807 s, System: 0.928 s] Range (min … max): 11.637 s … 11.863 s 10 runs So the unaligned loads don't seem to help much, and actually make things worse. It's possible there are platforms where they provide more benefit, but: - the non-x86 platforms for which we use this code are old and obscure (powerpc and s390). - the main caller that cares about performance is block-sha1. But these days it is rarely used anyway, in favor of sha1dc (which is already much slower, and nobody seems to have cared that much).

2020-09-21Optionally skip linking/copying the built-insLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-18/+37
For a long time already, the non-dashed form of the built-ins is the recommended way to write scripts, i.e. it is better to call `git merge [...]` than to call `git-merge [...]`. While Git still supports the dashed form (by hard-linking the `git` executable to the dashed name in `libexec/git-core/`), in practice, it is probably almost irrelevant. However, we *do* care about keeping people's scripts working (even if they were written before the non-dashed form started to be recommended). Keeping this backwards-compatibility is not necessarily cheap, though: even so much as amending the tip commit in a git.git checkout will require re-linking all of those dashed commands. On this developer's laptop, this makes a noticeable difference: $ touch version.c && time make CC version.o AR libgit.a LINK git-bugreport.exe [... 11 similar lines ...] LN/CP git-remote-https.exe LN/CP git-remote-ftp.exe LN/CP git-remote-ftps.exe LINK git.exe BUILTIN git-add.exe [... 123 similar lines ...] BUILTIN all SUBDIR git-gui SUBDIR gitk-git SUBDIR templates LINK t/helper/test-fake-ssh.exe LINK t/helper/test-line-buffer.exe LINK t/helper/test-svn-fe.exe LINK t/helper/test-tool.exe real 0m36.633s user 0m3.794s sys 0m14.141s $ touch version.c && time make SKIP_DASHED_BUILT_INS=1 CC version.o AR libgit.a LINK git-bugreport.exe [... 11 similar lines ...] LN/CP git-remote-https.exe LN/CP git-remote-ftp.exe LN/CP git-remote-ftps.exe LINK git.exe BUILTIN git-receive-pack.exe BUILTIN git-upload-archive.exe BUILTIN git-upload-pack.exe BUILTIN all SUBDIR git-gui SUBDIR gitk-git SUBDIR templates LINK t/helper/test-fake-ssh.exe LINK t/helper/test-line-buffer.exe LINK t/helper/test-svn-fe.exe LINK t/helper/test-tool.exe real 0m23.717s user 0m1.562s sys 0m5.210s Also, `.zip` files do not have any standardized support for hard-links, therefore "zipping up" the executables will result in inflated disk usage. (To keep down the size of the "MinGit" variant of Git for Windows, which is distributed as a `.zip` file, the hard-links are excluded specifically.) In addition to that, some programs that are regularly used to assess disk usage fail to realize that those are hard-links, and heavily overcount disk usage. Most notably, this was the case with Windows Explorer up until the last couple of Windows 10 versions. See e.g. https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/issues/58. To save on the time needed to hard-link these dashed commands, with the plan to eventually stop shipping with those hard-links on Windows, let's introduce a Makefile knob to skip generating them.

2020-09-06Makefile: add support for generating JSON compilation databaseLibravatar Philippe Blain1-5/+54
Tools based on LibClang [1] can make use of a 'JSON Compilation Database' [2] that keeps track of the exact options used to compile a set of source files. For example, clangd [3], which is a C language server protocol implementation, can use a JSON compilation database to determine the flags needed to compile a file so it can provide proper editor integration. As a result, editors supporting the language server protocol (such as VS Code, Emacs, or Vim, with suitable plugins) can provide better searching, integration, and refactoring tools. The Clang compiler can generate JSON fragments when compiling [4], using the `-MJ` flag. These JSON fragments (one per compiled source file) can then be concatenated to create the compilation database, commonly called 'compile_commands.json'. Add support to the Makefile for generating these JSON fragments as well as the compilation database itself, if the environment variable 'GENERATE_COMPILATION_DATABASE' is set. If this variable is set, check that $(CC) indeed supports the `-MJ` flag, following what is done for automatic dependencies. All JSON fragments are placed in the 'compile_commands/' directory, and the compilation database 'compile_commands.json' is generated as a dependency of the 'all' target using a `sed` invocation.

2020-08-27receive-pack: add new proc-receive hookLibravatar Jiang Xin1-0/+1
Git calls an internal `execute_commands` function to handle commands sent from client to `git-receive-pack`. Regardless of what references the user pushes, git creates or updates the corresponding references if the user has write-permission. A contributor who has no write-permission, cannot push to the repository directly. So, the contributor has to write commits to an alternate location, and sends pull request by emails or by other ways. We call this workflow as a distributed workflow. It would be more convenient to work in a centralized workflow like what Gerrit provided for some cases. For example, a read-only user who cannot push to a branch directly can run the following `git push` command to push commits to a pseudo reference (has a prefix "refs/for/", not "refs/heads/") to create a code review. git push origin \ HEAD:refs/for/<branch-name>/<session> The `<branch-name>` in the above example can be as simple as "master", or a more complicated branch name like "foo/bar". The `<session>` in the above example command can be the local branch name of the client side, such as "my/topic". We cannot implement a centralized workflow elegantly by using "pre-receive" + "post-receive", because Git will call the internal function "execute_commands" to create references (even the special pseudo reference) between these two hooks. Even though we can delete the temporarily created pseudo reference via the "post-receive" hook, having a temporary reference is not safe for concurrent pushes. So, add a filter and a new handler to support this kind of workflow. The filter will check the prefix of the reference name, and if the command has a special reference name, the filter will turn a specific field (`run_proc_receive`) on for the command. Commands with this filed turned on will be executed by a new handler (a hook named "proc-receive") instead of the internal `execute_commands` function. We can use this "proc-receive" command to create pull requests or send emails for code review. Suggested by Junio, this "proc-receive" hook reads the commands, push-options (optional), and send result using a protocol in pkt-line format. In the following example, the letter "S" stands for "receive-pack" and letter "H" stands for the hook. # Version and features negotiation. S: PKT-LINE(version=1\0push-options atomic...)

H: flush-pkt After receiving a command, the hook will execute the command, and may create/update different reference. For example, a command for a pseudo reference "refs/for/master/topic" may create/update different reference such as "refs/pull/123/head". The alternate reference name and other status are given in option lines. The list of commands returned from "proc-receive" will replace the relevant commands that are sent from user to "receive-pack", and "receive-pack" will continue to run the "execute_commands" function and other routines. Finally, the result of the execution of these commands will be reported to end user. The reporting function from "receive-pack" to "send-pack" will be extended in latter commit just like what the "proc-receive" hook reports to "receive-pack".

2020-08-18negotiator/noop: add noop fetch negotiatorLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-0/+1
Add a noop fetch negotiator. This is introduced to allow partial clones to skip the unneeded negotiation step when fetching missing objects using a "git fetch" subprocess. (The implementation of spawning a "git fetch" subprocess will be done in a subsequent patch.) But this can also be useful for end users, e.g. as a blunt fix for object corruption.

2020-08-13drop vcs-svn experimentLibravatar Jeff King1-25/+1
The code in vcs-svn was started in 2010 as an attempt to build a remote-helper for interacting with svn repositories (as opposed to git-svn). However, we never got as far as shipping a mature remote helper, and the last substantive commit was e99d012a6bc in 2012. We do have a git-remote-testsvn, and it is even installed as part of "make install". But given the name, it seems unlikely to be used by anybody (you'd have to explicitly "git clone testsvn::$url", and there have been zero mentions of that on the mailing list since 2013, and even that includes the phrase "you might need to hack a bit to get it working properly"[1]). We also ship contrib/svn-fe, which builds on the vcs-svn work. However, it does not seem to build out of the box for me, as the link step misses some required libraries for using libgit.a. Curiously, the original build breakage bisects for me to eff80a9fd9 (Allow custom "comment char", 2013-01-16), which seems unrelated. There was an attempt to fix it in da011cb0e7 (contrib/svn-fe: fix Makefile, 2014-08-28), but on my system that only switches the error message. So it seems like the result is not really usable by anybody in practice. It would be wonderful if somebody wanted to pick up the topic again, and potentially it's worth carrying around for that reason. But the flip side is that people doing tree-wide operations have to deal with this code. And you can see the list with (replace "HEAD" with this commit as appropriate): { echo "--" git diff-tree --diff-filter=D -r --name-only HEAD^ HEAD } | git log --no-merges --oneline e99d012a6bc.. --stdin which shows 58 times somebody had to deal with the code, generally due to a compile or test failure, or a tree-wide style fix or API change. Let's drop it and let anybody who wants to pick it up do so by resurrecting it from the git history. As a bonus, this also reduces the size of a stripped installation of Git from 21MB to 19MB.

2020-08-13make git-fast-import a builtinLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+1
There's no reason that git-fast-import benefits from being a separate binary. And as it links against libgit.a, it has a non-trivial disk footprint.

There's no reason that bugreport has to be a separate binary. And since it links against libgit.a, it has a rather large disk footprint. Let's make it a builtin, which reduces the size of a stripped installation from 24MB to 22MB. This also simplifies our Makefile a bit.

2020-08-13make credential helpers builtinsLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+3
There's no real reason for credential helpers to be separate binaries. I did them this way originally under the notion that helper don't _need_ to be part of Git, and so can be built totally separately (and indeed, the ones in contrib/credential are). But the ones in our main Makefile build on libgit.a, and the resulting binaries are reasonably large. We can slim down our total disk footprint by just making them builtins. This reduces the size of: make strip install from 29MB to 24MB on my Debian system. Note that credential-cache can't operate without support for Unix sockets. Currently we just don't build it at all when NO_UNIX_SOCKETS is set. We could continue that with conditionals in the Makefile and our list of builtins. But instead, let's build a dummy implementation that dies with an informative message. That has two advantages: - it's simpler, because the conditional bits are all kept inside the credential-cache source - a user who is expecting it to exist will be told _why_ they can't use it, rather than getting the "credential-cache is not a git command" error which makes it look like the Git install is broken. Note that our dummy implementation does still respond to "-h" in order to appease t0012 (and this may be a little friendlier for users, as well).

2020-06-02Merge branch 'lo/sparse-universal-zero-init'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
We've adopted a convention that any on-stack structure can be initialized to have zero values in all fields with "= { 0 }", even when the first field happens to be a pointer, but sparse complained that a null pointer should be spelled NULL for a long time. Start using -Wno-universal-initializer option to squelch it. * lo/sparse-universal-zero-init: sparse: allow '{ 0 }' to be used without warnings
2020-05-24sparse: allow '{ 0 }' to be used without warningsLibravatar Luc Van Oostenryck1-1/+1
In standard C, '{ 0 }' can be used as an universal zero-initializer. However, Sparse complains if this is used on a type where the first member (possibly nested) is a pointer since Sparse purposely wants to warn when '0' is used to initialize a pointer type. Legitimaly, it's desirable to be able to use '{ 0 }' as an idiom without these warnings [1,2]. To allow this, an option have now been added to Sparse: 537e3e2dae univ-init: conditionally accept { 0 } without warnings So, add this option to the SPARSE_FLAGS variable. Note: The option have just been added to Sparse. So, to benefit now from this patch it's needed to use the latest Sparse source from kernel.org. The option will simply be ignored by older versions of Sparse.

Code clean-up by removing a compatibility implementation of a function we no longer use. * cb/no-more-gmtime: compat: remove gmtime
2020-05-14compat: remove gmtimeLibravatar Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón1-8/+0
ccd469450a (date.c: switch to reentrant {gm,local}time_r, 2019-11-28) removes the only gmtime() call we had and moves to gmtime_r() which doesn't have the same portability problems. Remove the compat gmtime code since it is no longer needed, and confirm by successfull running t4212 in FreeBSD 9.3 amd64 (the oldest I could get a hold off). Further work might be needed to ensure 32bit time_t systems (like FreeBSD i386) will handle correctly the overflows tested in t4212, but that is orthogonal to this change, and it doesn't change the current behaviour as neither gmtime() or gmtime_r() will ever return NULL on those systems because time_t is unsigned.
