2007-05-31diff-delta: use realloc instead of xreallocLibravatar Martin Koegler1-1/+1
Commit 83572c1a914d3f7a8dd66d954c11bbc665b7b923 changed many realloc to xrealloc. This change was made in diff-delta.c too, although the code can handle an out of memory failure. This patch reverts this change in diff-delta.c. Signed-off-by: Martin Koegler <mkoegler@auto.tuwien.ac.at> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-05-26update diff-delta.c copyrightLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-13/+6
There is actually nothing left from the original LibXDiff code I used over 2 years ago, and even the GIT implementation has diverged quite a bit from LibXDiff's at this point. Let's update the copyright notice to better reflect that fact. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-05-26improve delta long block matching with big filesLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-51/+57
Martin Koegler noted that create_delta() performs a new hash lookup after every block copy encoding which are currently limited to 64KB. In case of larger identical blocks, the next hash lookup would normally point to the next 64KB block in the reference buffer and multiple block copy operations will be consecutively encoded. It is however possible that the reference buffer be sparsely indexed if hash buckets have been trimmed down in create_delta_index() when hashing of the reference buffer isn't well balanced. In that case the hash lookup following a block copy might fail to match anything and the fact that the reference buffer still matches beyond the previous 64KB block will be missed. Let's rework the code so that buffer comparison isn't bounded to 64KB anymore. The match size should be as large as possible up front and only then should multiple block copy be encoded to cover it all. Also, fewer hash lookups will be performed in the end. According to Martin, this patch should reduce his 92MB pack down to 75MB with the dataset he has. Tests performed on the Linux kernel repo show a slightly smaller pack and a slightly faster repack.

2006-12-20simplify inclusion of system header files.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+1
This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include system header files. (1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and xdelta code are exempt from the following rules; (2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h, builtin.h, pkt-line.h); (3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h" need not be included in individual C source files. (4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem specific header files (e.g. expat.h). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-10-14Revert "move pack creation to version 3"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+2
This reverts commit 16854571aae6302f457c5fbee41ac64669b09595. Git as recent as v1.1.6 do not understand version 3 delta. v1.2.0 is Ok and I personally would say it is old enough, but the improvement between version 2 and version 3 delta is not bit enough to justify breaking older clients. We should resurrect this later, but when we do so we shold make it conditional. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-08-26Use xrealloc instead of reallocLibravatar Jonas Fonseca1-1/+1
Change places that use realloc, without a proper error path, to instead use xrealloc. Drop an erroneous error path in the daemon code that used errno in the die message in favour of the simpler xrealloc. Signed-off-by: Jonas Fonseca <fonseca@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-08-23Fix a comparison bug in diff-delta.cLibravatar Pierre Habouzit1-1/+1
(1 << i) < hspace is compared in the `int` space rather that in the unsigned one. the result will be wrong if hspace is between 0x40000000 and 0x80000000. Signed-off-by: Pierre Habouzit <madcoder@debian.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-07-10Fix more typos, primarily in the codeLibravatar Pavel Roskin1-3/+3
The only visible change is that git-blame doesn't understand "--compability" anymore, but it does accept "--compatibility" instead, which is already documented. Signed-off-by: Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-06-20Remove all void-pointer arithmetic.Libravatar Florian Forster1-1/+1
ANSI C99 doesn't allow void-pointer arithmetic. This patch fixes this in various ways. Usually the strategy that required the least changes was used. Signed-off-by: Florian Forster <octo@verplant.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-06-18Initialize FAMs using `FLEX_ARRAY'.Libravatar Florian Forster1-1/+2
When initializing a `flexible array member' the macro `FLEX_ARRAY' should be used. This was forgotten in `diff-delta.c'. Signed-off-by: Florian Forster <octo@verplant.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-10fix diff-delta bad memory accessLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-5/+0
It cannot be assumed that the given buffer will never be moved when shrinking the allocated memory size with realloc(). So let's ignore that optimization for now. This patch makes Electric Fence happy on Linux. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-02improve diff-delta with sparse and/or repetitive dataLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-13/+27
It is useless to preserve multiple hash entries for consecutive blocks with the same hash. Keeping only the first one will allow for matching the longest string of identical bytes while subsequent blocks will only allow for shorter matches. The backward matching code will match the end of it as necessary. This improves both performances (no repeated string compare with long successions of identical bytes, or even small group of bytes), as well as compression (less likely to need random hash bucket entry culling), especially with sparse files. With well behaved data sets this patch doesn't change much. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-02tiny optimization to diff-deltaLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-3/+2
This is my assembly freak side looking at generated code again. And since create_delta() is certainly pretty high on the radar every bits count. In this case shorter code is generated if hash_mask is not copied to a local variable. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-04-28replace adler32 with Rabin's polynomial in diff-deltaLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-34/+150
This brings another small repacking speedup for sensibly the same pack size. On the Linux kernel repo, git-repack -a -f is 3.7% faster for a 0.4% larger pack. Credits to Geert Bosch who brought the Rabin's polynomial idea to my attention. This also eliminate the issue of adler32() reading past the data buffer, as noticed by Johannes Schindelin.

2006-04-24split the diff-delta interfaceLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-83/+85
This patch splits the diff-delta interface into index creation and delta generation. A wrapper is provided to preserve the diff-delta() call. This will allow for an optimization in pack-objects.c where the source object could be fixed and a full window of objects tentatively tried against that same source object without recomputing the source index each time. This patch only restructure things, plus a couple cleanups for good measure. There is no performance change yet. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org>
2006-03-173% tighter packs for freeLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-1/+16
This patch makes for 3.4% smaller pack with the git repository, and a bit more than 3% smaller pack with the kernel repository. And so with _no_ measurable CPU difference. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-03-09diff-delta: bound hash list length to avoid O(m*n) behaviorLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-30/+71
The diff-delta code can exhibit O(m*n) behavior with some patological data set where most hash entries end up in the same hash bucket. To prevent this, a limit is imposed to the number of entries that can exist in the same hash bucket. Because of the above the code is a tiny bit more expensive on average, even if some small optimizations were added as well to atenuate the overhead. But the problematic samples used to diagnoze the issue are now orders of magnitude less expensive to process with only a slight loss in compression.

2006-02-22diff-delta: fold two special tests into one plus cleanupsLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-10/+14
Testing for realloc and size limit can be done with only one test per loop. Make it so and fix a theoretical off-by-one comparison error in the process. The output buffer memory allocation is also bounded by max_size when specified. Finally make some variable unsigned to allow the handling of files up to 4GB in size instead of 2GB.

2005-06-29[PATCH] assorted delta code cleanupLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-1/+2
This is a wrap-up patch including all the cleanups I've done to the delta code and its usage. The most important change is the factorization of the delta header handling code. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-06-28[PATCH] denser delta header encodingLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-20/+14
Since the delta data format is not tied to any actual git object anymore, now is the time to add a small improvement to the delta data header as it is been done for packed object header. This patch allows for reducing the delta header of about 2 bytes and makes for simpler code. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-06-25Add a "max_size" parameter to diff_delta()Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+7
Anything that generates a delta to see if two objects are close usually isn't interested in the delta ends up being bigger than some specified size, and this allows us to stop delta generation early when that happens.
