2021-10-08cat-file: use packed_object_info() for --batch-all-objectsLibravatar Jeff King1-14/+36
When "cat-file --batch-all-objects" iterates over each object, it knows where to find each one. But when we look up details of the object, we don't use that information at all. This patch teaches it to use the pack/offset pair when we're iterating over objects in a pack. This yields a measurable speed improvement (timings on a fully packed clone of linux.git): Benchmark #1: ./git.old cat-file --batch-all-objects --unordered --batch-check="%(objecttype) %(objectname)" Time (mean ± σ): 8.128 s ± 0.118 s [User: 7.968 s, System: 0.156 s] Range (min … max): 8.007 s … 8.301 s 10 runs Benchmark #2: ./git.new cat-file --batch-all-objects --unordered --batch-check="%(objecttype) %(objectname)" Time (mean ± σ): 4.294 s ± 0.064 s [User: 4.167 s, System: 0.125 s] Range (min … max): 4.227 s … 4.457 s 10 runs Summary './git.new cat-file --batch-all-objects --unordered --batch-check="%(objecttype) %(objectname)"' ran 1.89 ± 0.04 times faster than './git.old cat-file --batch-all-objects --unordered --batch-check="%(objecttype) %(objectname)" The implementation is pretty simple: we just call packed_object_info() instead of oid_object_info_extended() when we can. Most of the changes are just plumbing the pack/offset pair through the callstack. There is one subtlety: replace lookups are not handled by packed_object_info(). But since those are disabled for --batch-all-objects, and since we'll only have pack info when that option is in effect, we don't have to worry about that. There are a few limitations to this optimization which we could address with further work: - I didn't bother recording when we found an object loose. Technically this could save us doing a fruitless lookup in the pack index. But opening and mmap-ing a loose object is so expensive in the first place that this doesn't matter much. And if your repository is large enough to care about per-object performance, most objects are going to be packed anyway. - This works only in --unordered mode. For the sorted mode, we'd have to record the pack/offset pair as part of our oid-collection. That's more code, plus at least 16 extra bytes of heap per object. It would probably still be a net win in runtime, but we'd need to measure. - For --batch, this still helps us with getting the object metadata, but we still do a from-scratch lookup for the object contents. This probably doesn't matter that much, because the lookup cost will be much smaller relative to the cost of actually unpacking and printing the objects. For small objects, we could probably swap out read_object_file() for using packed_object_info() with a "object_info.contentp" to get the contents. But we'd still need to deal with streaming for larger objects. A better path forward here is to teach the initial oid_object_info_extended() / packed_object_info() calls to retrieve the contents of smaller objects while they are already being accessed. That would save the extra lookup entirely. But it's a non-trivial feature to add to the object_info code, so I left it for now.

2021-10-08cat-file: split ordered/unordered batch-all-objects callbacksLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+3
When we originally added --batch-all-objects, it stuffed everything into an oid_array(), and then iterated over that array with a callback to write the actual output. When we later added --unordered, that code path writes immediately as we discover each object, but just calls the same batch_object_cb() as our entry point to the writing code. That callback has a narrow interface; it only receives the oid, but we know much more about each object in the unordered write (which we'll make use of in the next patch). So let's just call batch_object_write() directly. The callback wasn't saving us much effort. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-10-08cat-file: disable refs/replace with --batch-all-objectsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
When we're enumerating all objects in the object database, it doesn't make sense to respect refs/replace. The point of this option is to enumerate all of the objects in the database at a low level. By definition we'd already show the replacement object's contents (under its real oid), and showing those contents under another oid is almost certainly working against what the user is trying to do. Note that you could make the same argument for something like: git show-index <foo.idx | awk '{print $2}' | git cat-file --batch but there we can't know in cat-file exactly what the user intended, because we don't know the source of the input. They could be trying to do low-level debugging, or they could be doing something more high-level (e.g., imagine a porcelain built around cat-file for its object accesses). So in those cases, we'll have to rely on the user specifying "git --no-replace-objects" to tell us what to do. One _could_ make an argument that "cat-file --batch" is sufficiently low-level plumbing that it should not respect replace-objects at all (and the caller should do any replacement if they want it). But we have been doing so for some time. The history is a little tangled: - looking back as far as v1.6.6, we would not respect replace refs for --batch-check, but would for --batch (because the former used sha1_object_info(), and the replace mechanism only affected actual object reads) - this discrepancy was made even weirder by 98e2092b50 (cat-file: teach --batch to stream blob objects, 2013-07-10), where we always output the header using the --batch-check code, and then printed the object separately. This could lead to "cat-file --batch" dying (when it notices the size or type changed for a non-blob object) or even producing bogus output (in streaming mode, we didn't notice that we wrote the wrong number of bytes). - that persisted until 1f7117ef7a (sha1_file: perform object replacement in sha1_object_info_extended(), 2013-12-11), which then respected replace refs for both forms. So it has worked reliably this way for over 7 years, and we should make sure it continues to do so. That could also be an argument that --batch-all-objects should not change behavior (which this patch is doing), but I really consider the current behavior to be an unintended bug. It's a side effect of how the code is implemented (feeding the oids back into oid_object_info() rather than looking at what we found while reading the loose and packed object storage). The implementation is straight-forward: we just disable the global read_replace_refs flag when we're in --batch-all-objects mode. It would perhaps be a little cleaner to change the flag we pass to oid_object_info_extended(), but that's not enough. We also read objects via read_object_file() and stream_blob_to_fd(). The former could switch to its _extended() form, but the streaming code has no mechanism for disabling replace refs. Setting the global flag works, and as a bonus, it's impossible to have any "oops, we're sometimes replacing the object and sometimes not" bugs in the output (like the ones caused by 98e2092b50 above). The tests here cover the regular-input and --batch-all-objects cases, for both --batch-check and --batch. There is a test in t6050 that covers the regular-input case with --batch already, but this new one goes much further in actually verifying the output (plus covering --batch-check explicitly). This is perhaps a little overkill and the tests would be simpler just covering --batch-check, but I wanted to make sure we're checking that --batch output is consistent between the header and the content. The global-flag technique used here makes that easy to get right, but this is future-proofing us against regressions.

2021-06-04cat-file: handle trivial --batch format with --batch-all-objectsLibravatar ZheNing Hu1-6/+7
The --batch code to print an object assumes we found out the type of the object from calling oid_object_info_extended(). This is true for the default format, but even in a custom format, we manually modify the object_info struct to ask for the type. This assumption was broken by 845de33a5b (cat-file: avoid noop calls to sha1_object_info_extended, 2016-05-18). That commit skips the call to oid_object_info_extended() entirely when --batch-all-objects is in use, and the custom format does not include any placeholders that require calling it. Or when the custom format only include placeholders like %(objectname) or %(rest), oid_object_info_extended() will not get the type of the object. This results in an error when we try to confirm that the type didn't change: $ git cat-file --batch=batman --batch-all-objects batman fatal: object 000023961a0c02d6e21dc51ea3484ff71abf1c74 changed type!? and also has other subtle effects (e.g., we'd fail to stream a blob, since we don't realize it's a blob in the first place). We can fix this by flipping the order of the setup. The check for "do we need to get the object info" must come _after_ we've decided whether we need to look up the type.

2020-04-28Use OPT_CALLBACK and OPT_CALLBACK_FLibravatar Denton Liu1-4/+4
In the codebase, there are many options which use OPTION_CALLBACK in a plain ol' struct definition. However, we have the OPT_CALLBACK and OPT_CALLBACK_F macros which are meant to abstract these plain struct definitions away. These macros are useful as they semantically signal to developers that these are just normal callback option with nothing fancy happening. Replace plain struct definitions of OPTION_CALLBACK with OPT_CALLBACK or OPT_CALLBACK_F where applicable. The heavy lifting was done using the following (disgusting) shell script: #!/bin/sh do_replacement () { tr '\n' '\r' | sed -e 's/{\s*OPTION_CALLBACK,\s*\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\s*0,\(\s*[^[:space:]}]*\)\s*}/OPT_CALLBACK(\1,\2,\3,\4,\5,\6)/g' | sed -e 's/{\s*OPTION_CALLBACK,\s*\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\(\s*[^[:space:]}]*\)\s*}/OPT_CALLBACK_F(\1,\2,\3,\4,\5,\6,\7)/g' | tr '\r' '\n' } for f in $(git ls-files \*.c) do do_replacement <"$f" >"$f.tmp" mv "$f.tmp" "$f" done The result was manually inspected and then reformatted to match the style of the surrounding code. Finally, using `git grep OPTION_CALLBACK \*.c`, leftover results which were not handled by the script were manually transformed.

2020-03-30oid_array: rename source file from sha1-arrayLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
We renamed the actual data structure in 910650d2f8 (Rename sha1_array to oid_array, 2017-03-31), but the file is still called sha1-array. Besides being slightly confusing, it makes it more annoying to grep for leftover occurrences of "sha1" in various files, because the header is included in so many places. Let's complete the transition by renaming the source and header files (and fixing up a few comment references). I kept the "-" in the name, as that seems to be our style; cf. fc1395f4a4 (sha1_file.c: rename to use dash in file name, 2018-04-10). We also have oidmap.h and oidset.h without any punctuation, but those are "struct oidmap" and "struct oidset" in the code. We _could_ make this "oidarray" to match, but somehow it looks uglier to me because of the length of "array" (plus it would be a very invasive patch for little gain).

2020-03-16convert: provide additional metadata to filtersLibravatar brian m. carlson1-1/+4
Now that we have the codebase wired up to pass any additional metadata to filters, let's collect the additional metadata that we'd like to pass. The two main places we pass this metadata are checkouts and archives. In these two situations, reading HEAD isn't a valid option, since HEAD isn't updated for checkouts until after the working tree is written and archives can accept an arbitrary tree. In other situations, HEAD will usually reflect the refname of the branch in current use. We pass a smaller amount of data in other cases, such as git cat-file, where we can really only logically know about the blob. This commit updates only the parts of the checkout code where we don't use unpack_trees. That function and callers of it will be handled in a future commit. In the archive code, we leak a small amount of memory, since nothing we pass in the archiver argument structure is freed.

2020-03-16convert: permit passing additional metadata to filter processesLibravatar brian m. carlson1-1/+1
There are a variety of situations where a filter process can make use of some additional metadata. For example, some people find the ident filter too limiting and would like to include the commit or the branch in their smudged files. This information isn't available during checkout as HEAD hasn't been updated at that point, and it wouldn't be available in archives either. Let's add a way to pass this metadata down to the filter. We pass the blob we're operating on, the treeish (preferring the commit over the tree if one exists), and the ref we're operating on. Note that we won't pass this information in all cases, such as when renormalizing or when we're performing diffs, since it doesn't make sense in those cases. The data we currently get from the filter process looks like the following: command=smudge pathname=git.c 0000 With this change, we'll get data more like this: command=smudge pathname=git.c refname=refs/tags/v2.25.1 treeish=c522f061d551c9bb8684a7c3859b2ece4499b56b blob=7be7ad34bd053884ec48923706e70c81719a8660 0000 There are a couple things to note about this approach. For operations like checkout, treeish will always be a commit, since we cannot check out individual trees, but for other operations, like archive, we can end up operating on only a particular tree, so we'll provide only a tree as the treeish. Similar comments apply for refname, since there are a variety of cases in which we won't have a ref. This commit wires up the code to print this information, but doesn't pass any of it at this point. In a future commit, we'll have various code paths pass the actual useful data down. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <bk2204@github.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2020-02-24packed_object_info(): use object_id for returning delta baseLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
If a caller sets the object_info.delta_base_sha1 to a non-NULL pointer, we'll write the oid of the object's delta base to it. But we can increase our type safety by switching this to a real object_id struct. All of our callers are just pointing into the hash member of an object_id anyway, so there's no inconvenience. Note that we do still keep it as a pointer-to-struct, because the NULL sentinel value tells us whether the caller is even interested in the information.

2018-11-06assert NOARG/NONEG behavior of parse-options callbacksLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
When we define a parse-options callback, the flags we put in the option struct must match what the callback expects. For example, a callback which does not handle the "unset" parameter should only be used with PARSE_OPT_NONEG. But since the callback and the option struct are not defined next to each other, it's easy to get this wrong (as earlier patches in this series show). Fortunately, the compiler can help us here: compiling with -Wunused-parameters can show us which callbacks ignore their "unset" parameters (and likewise, ones that ignore "arg" expect to be triggered with PARSE_OPT_NOARG). But after we've inspected a callback and determined that all of its callers use the right flags, what do we do next? We'd like to silence the compiler warning, but do so in a way that will catch any wrong calls in the future. We can do that by actually checking those variables and asserting that they match our expectations. Because this is such a common pattern, we'll introduce some helper macros. The resulting messages aren't as descriptive as we could make them, but the file/line information from BUG() is enough to identify the problem (and anyway, the point is that these should never be seen). Each of the annotated callbacks in this patch triggers -Wunused-parameters, and was manually inspected to make sure all callers use the correct options (so none of these BUGs should be triggerable).

2018-10-31cat-file: handle streaming failures consistentlyLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+12
There are three ways to convince cat-file to stream a blob: - cat-file -p $blob - cat-file blob $blob - echo $batch | cat-file --batch In the first two, we simply exit with the error code of streaw_blob_to_fd(). That means that an error will cause us to exit with "-1" (which we try to avoid) without printing any kind of error message (which is confusing to the user). Instead, let's match the third case, which calls die() on an error. Unfortunately we cannot be more specific, as stream_blob_to_fd() does not tell us whether the problem was on reading (e.g., a corrupt object) or on writing (e.g., ENOSPC). That might be an opportunity for future work, but for now we will at least exit with a sane message and exit code.

2018-08-14cat-file: use a single strbuf for all outputLibravatar Jeff King1-11/+17
When we're in batch mode, we end up in batch_object_write() for each object, which allocates its own strbuf for each call. Instead, we can provide a single "scratch" buffer that gets reused for each output. When running: git cat-file --batch-all-objects --batch-check='%(objectname)' on git.git, my best-of-five time drops from: real 0m0.171s user 0m0.159s sys 0m0.012s to: real 0m0.133s user 0m0.121s sys 0m0.012s Note that we could do this just by putting the "scratch" pointer into "struct expand_data", but I chose instead to add an extra parameter to the callstack. That's more verbose, but it makes it a bit more obvious what is going on, which in turn makes it easy to see where we need to be releasing the string in the caller (right after the loop which uses it in each case).

2018-08-14cat-file: split batch "buf" into two variablesLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+8
We use the "buf" strbuf for two things: to read incoming lines, and as a scratch space for test-expanding the user-provided format. Let's split this into two variables with descriptive names, which makes their purpose and lifetime more clear. It will also help in a future patch when we start using the "output" buffer for more expansions. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-08-14cat-file: use oidset check-and-insertLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+1
We don't need to check if the oidset has our object before we insert it; that's done as part of the insertion. We can just rely on the return value from oidset_insert(), which saves one hash lookup per object. This measurable speedup is tiny and within the run-to-run noise, but the result is simpler to read, too. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2018-08-13cat-file: support "unordered" output for --batch-all-objectsLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+51
If you're going to access the contents of every object in a packfile, it's generally much more efficient to do so in pack order, rather than in hash order. That increases the locality of access within the packfile, which in turn is friendlier to the delta base cache, since the packfile puts related deltas next to each other. By contrast, hash order is effectively random, since the sha1 has no discernible relationship to the content. This patch introduces an "--unordered" option to cat-file which iterates over packs in pack-order under the hood. You can see the results when dumping all of the file content: $ time ./git cat-file --batch-all-objects --buffer --batch | wc -c 6883195596 real 0m44.491s user 0m42.902s sys 0m5.230s $ time ./git cat-file --unordered \ --batch-all-objects --buffer --batch | wc -c 6883195596 real 0m6.075s user 0m4.774s sys 0m3.548s Same output, different order, way faster. The same speed-up applies even if you end up accessing the object content in a different process, like: git cat-file --batch-all-objects --buffer --batch-check | grep blob | git cat-file --batch='%(objectname) %(rest)' | wc -c Adding "--unordered" to the first command drops the runtime in git.git from 24s to 3.5s. Side note: there are actually further speedups available for doing it all in-process now. Since we are outputting the object content during the actual pack iteration, we know where to find the object and could skip the extra lookup done by oid_object_info(). This patch stops short of that optimization since the underlying API isn't ready for us to make those sorts of direct requests. So if --unordered is so much better, why not make it the default? Two reasons: 1. We've promised in the documentation that --batch-all-objects outputs in hash order. Since cat-file is plumbing, people may be relying on that default, and we can't change it. 2. It's actually _slower_ for some cases. We have to compute the pack revindex to walk in pack order. And our de-duplication step uses an oidset, rather than a sort-and-dedup, which can end up being more expensive. If we're just accessing the type and size of each object, for example, like: git cat-file --batch-all-objects --buffer --batch-check my best-of-five warm cache timings go from 900ms to 1100ms using --unordered. Though it's possible in a cold-cache or under memory pressure that we could do better, since we'd have better locality within the packfile. And one final question: why is it "--unordered" and not "--pack-order"? The answer is again two-fold: 1. "pack order" isn't a well-defined thing across the whole set of objects. We're hitting loose objects, as well as objects in multiple packs, and the only ordering we're promising is _within_ a single pack. The rest is apparently random. 2. The point here is optimization. So we don't want to promise any particular ordering, but only to say that we will choose an ordering which is likely to be efficient for accessing the object content. That leaves the door open for further changes in the future without having to add another compatibility option.

2018-05-16object-store: move object access functions to object-store.hLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+1
This should make these functions easier to find and cache.h less overwhelming to read. In particular, this moves: - read_object_file - oid_object_info - write_object_file As a result, most of the codebase needs to #include object-store.h. In this patch the #include is only added to files that would fail to compile otherwise. It would be better to #include wherever identifiers from the header are used. That can happen later when we have better tooling for it. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
