* lt/maint-diff-reduce-lstat:
Teach 'git checkout' to preload the index contents
Avoid unnecessary 'lstat()' calls in 'get_stat_data()'
|
|
When we ask get_stat_data() to get the mode and size of an index entry,
we can avoid the lstat() call if we have marked the index entry as being
uptodate due to earlier lstat() calls.
This avoids a lot of unnecessary lstat() calls in eg 'git checkout',
where the last phase shows the differences to the working tree
(requiring a diff), but earlier phases have already verified the index.
On the kernel repo (with a fast machine and everything cached), this
changes timings of a nul 'git checkout' from
- Before (best of ten):
0.14user 0.05system 0:00.19elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+13237minor)pagefaults 0swaps
- After
0.11user 0.03system 0:00.15elapsed 98%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+13235minor)pagefaults 0swaps
so it can obviously be noticeable, although equally obviously it's not a
show-stopper on this particular machine. The difference is likely larger
on slower machines, or with operating systems that don't do as good a job
of name caching.

index_is_dirty() in builtin-revert.c checks if the index is dirty.
This patch generalizes this function to check if the index differs
from a revision, i.e. the former index_is_dirty() behavior can now be
achieved by index_differs_from("HEAD", 0).
The second argument "diff_flags" allows to set further diff option
flags like DIFF_OPT_IGNORE_SUBMODULES. See DIFF_OPT_* macros in diff.h
for a list.
index_differs_from() seems to be useful for more than builtin-revert.c,
so it is moved into diff-lib.c and also used in builtin-commit.c.
Yet to mention:
- "rev.abbrev = 0;" can be safely removed.
This has no impact on performance or functioning of neither
setup_revisions() nor run_diff_index().
- rev.pending.objects is free()d because this fixes a leak.

Commit c40641b77b0274186fd1b327d5dc3246f814aaaf, 'Optimize
symlink/directory detection' by Linus Torvalds, removed the 'char
*symcache' parameter to the has_symlink_leading_path() function. This
made all variables currently named 'symcache' inside diff-lib.c
unnecessary.
This also let us throw away the 'struct oneway_unpack_data', and
instead directly use the 'struct rev_info *revs' member, which
was the only member left after removal of the 'symcache[] array'
member. The 'struct oneway_unpack_data' was introduced by the
following commit:

With a new configuration "diff.mnemonicprefix", "git diff" shows the
differences between various combinations of preimage and postimage trees
with prefixes different from the standard "a/" and "b/". Hopefully this
will make the distinction stand out for some people.
"git diff" compares the (i)ndex and the (w)ork tree;
"git diff HEAD" compares a (c)ommit and the (w)ork tree;
"git diff --cached" compares a (c)ommit and the (i)ndex;
"git-diff HEAD:file1 file2" compares an (o)bject and a (w)ork tree entity;
"git diff --no-index a b" compares two non-git things (1) and (2).
Because these mnemonics now have meanings, they are swapped when reverse
diff is in effect and this feature is enabled.

Even if "foo" and/or "bar" does not exist in index, "git diff foo bar"
should not change behaviour drastically from "git diff foo bar baz" or
"git diff foo". A feature that "sometimes works and is handy" is an
unreliable cute hack.
"git diff foo bar" outside a git repository continues to work as a more

This is the base for making symlink detection in the middle fo a pathname
saner and (much) more efficient.
Under various loads, we want to verify that the full path leading up to a
filename is a real directory tree, and that when we successfully do an
'lstat()' on a filename, we don't get a false positive due to a symlink in
the middle of the path that git should have seen as a symlink, not as a
normal path component.
The 'has_symlink_leading_path()' function already did this, and cached
a single level of symlink information, but didn't cache the _lack_ of a
symlink, so the normal behaviour was actually the wrong way around, and we
ended up doing an 'lstat()' on each path component to check that it was a
real directory.
This caches the last detected full directory and symlink entries, and
speeds up especially deep directory structures a lot by avoiding to
lstat() all the directories leading up to each entry in the index.
[ This can - and should - probably be extended upon so that we eventually
never do a bare 'lstat()' on any path entries at *all* when checking the
index, but always check the full path carefully. Right now we do not
generally check the whole path for all our normal quick index
revalidation.
We should also make sure that we're careful about all the invalidation,
ie when we remove a link and replace it by a directory we should
invalidate the symlink cache if it matches (and vice versa for the
directory cache).
But regardless, the basic function needs to be sane to do that. The old
'has_symlink_leading_path()' was not capable enough - or indeed the code
readable enough - to really do that sanely. So I'm pushing this as not
just an optimization, but as a base for further work. ]

948dd34 (diff-index: careful when inspecting work tree items, 2008-03-30)
made the work tree check careful not to be fooled by a new directory that
exists at a place the index expects a blob. For such a change to be a
typechange from blob to submodule, the new directory has to be a
repository.
However, if the index expects a submodule there, we should not insist the
work tree entity to be a repository --- a simple directory that is not a
full fledged repository (even an empty directory would do) should be
considered an unmodified subproject, because that is how a superproject
with a submodule is checked out sparsely by default.
This makes the function check_work_tree_entity() even more careful not to
report a submodule that is not checked out as removed. It fixes the
recently added test in t4027.

Earlier, if you changed a staged path into a directory in the work tree,
we happily ran lstat(2) on it and found that it exists, and declared that
the user changed it to a gitlink.
This is wrong for two reasons:
(1) It may be a directory, but it may not be a submodule, and in the
latter case, the change we need to report is "the blob at the path
has disappeared". We need to check with resolve_gitlink_ref() to be
consistent with what "git add" and "git update-index --add" does.
(2) lstat(2) may have succeeded only because a leading component of the
path was turned into a symbolic link that points at something that
exists in the work tree. In such a case, the path itself does not
exist anymore, as far as the index is concerned.
This fixes these breakages in diff-index that the previous patch has
exposed.

We will always unpack into our own internal index, but we will take the
source from wherever specified, and we will optionally write the result
to a specified index (optionally, because not everybody even _wants_ any
result: the index diffing really wants to just walk the tree and index
in parallel).
This ends up removing a fair number more lines than it adds, for the
simple reason that we can now skip all the crud that tried to be
oh-so-careful about maintaining our position in the index as we were
traversing and modifying it. Since we don't actually modify the source
index any more, we can just update the 'o->pos' pointer without worrying
about whether an index entry got removed or replaced or added to.

The next stage would be to split that index usage up into a 'source' and

A plain "git commit" would still run lstat() a lot more than necessary,
because wt_status_print() would cause the index to be repeatedly flushed
and re-read by wt_read_cache(), and that would cause the CE_UPTODATE bit
to be lost, resulting in the files in the index being lstat'ed three
times each.
The reason why wt-status.c ended up invalidating and re-reading the
cache multiple times was that it uses "run_diff_index()", which in turn
uses "read_tree()" to populate the index with *both* the old index and
the tree we want to compare against.
So this patch re-writes run_diff_index() to not use read_tree(), but
instead use "unpack_trees()" to diff the index to a tree. That, in
turn, means that we don't need to modify the index itself, which then
means that we don't need to invalidate it and re-read it!
This, together with the lstat() optimizations, means that "git commit"
on the kernel tree really only needs to lstat() the index entries once.
That noticeably cuts down on the cached timings.
Best time before:
[torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit > /dev/null
real 0m0.399s
user 0m0.232s
sys 0m0.164s
Best time after:
[torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit > /dev/null
real 0m0.254s
user 0m0.140s
sys 0m0.112s
so it's a noticeable improvement in addition to being a nice conceptual
cleanup (it's really not that pretty that "run_diff_index()" dirties the
index!)
Doing an "strace -c" on it also shows that as it cuts the number of
lstat() calls by two thirds, it goes from being lstat()-limited to being
limited by getdents() (which is the readdir system call):
Before:
% time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
60.69 0.000704 0 69230 31 lstat
23.62 0.000274 0 5522 getdents
8.36 0.000097 0 5508 2638 open
2.59 0.000030 0 2869 close
2.50 0.000029 0 274 write
1.47 0.000017 0 2844 fstat
After:
% time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
45.17 0.000276 0 5522 getdents
26.51 0.000162 0 23112 31 lstat
19.80 0.000121 0 5503 2638 open
4.91 0.000030 0 2864 close
1.48 0.000020 0 274 write
1.34 0.000018 0 2844 fstat
...
It passes the test-suite for me, but this is another of one of those
really core functions, and certainly pretty subtle, so..
NOTE! The Linux lstat() system call is really quite cheap when everything
is cached, so the fact that this is quite noticeable on Linux is likely to
mean that it is *much* more noticeable on other operating systems. I bet
you'll see a much bigger performance improvement from this on Windows in
particular.

This converts the index explicitly on read and write to its on-disk
format, allowing the in-core format to contain more flags, and be
simpler.
In particular, the in-core format is now host-endian (as opposed to the
on-disk one that is network endian in order to be able to be shared
across machines) and as a result we can dispense with all the
htonl/ntohl on accesses to the cache_entry fields.
This will make it easier to make use of various temporary flags that do
not exist in the on-disk format.

Earlier in commit 0781b8a9b2fe760fc4ed519a3a26e4b9bd6ccffe
(add_file_to_index: skip rehashing if the cached stat already
matches), add_file_to_index() were taught not to re-add the path
if it already matches the index.
The change meant well, but was not executed quite right. It
used ie_modified() to see if the file on the work tree is really
different from the index, and skipped adding the contents if the
function says "not modified".
This was wrong. There are three possible comparison results
between the index and the file in the work tree:
- with lstat(2) we _know_ they are different. E.g. if the
length or the owner in the cached stat information is
different from the length we just obtained from lstat(2), we
can tell the file is modified without looking at the actual
contents.
- with lstat(2) we _know_ they are the same. The same length,
the same owner, the same everything (but this has a twist, as
described below).
- we cannot tell from lstat(2) information alone and need to go
to the filesystem to actually compare.
The last case arises from what we call 'racy git' situation,
that can be caused with this sequence:
$ echo hello >file
$ git add file
$ echo aeiou >file ;# the same length
If the second "echo" is done within the same filesystem
timestamp granularity as the first "echo", then the timestamp
recorded by "git add" and the timestamp we get from lstat(2)
will be the same, and we can mistakenly say the file is not
modified. The path is called 'racily clean'. We need to
reliably detect racily clean paths are in fact modified.
To solve this problem, when we write out the index, we mark the
index entry that has the same timestamp as the index file itself
(that is the time from the point of view of the filesystem) to
tell any later code that does the lstat(2) comparison not to
trust the cached stat info, and ie_modified() then actually goes
to the filesystem to compare the contents for such a path.
That's all good, but it should not be used for this "git add"
optimization, as the goal of "git add" is to actually update the
path in the index and make it stat-clean. With the false
optimization, we did _not_ cause any data loss (after all, what
we failed to do was only to update the cached stat information),
but it made the following sequence leave the file stat dirty:
$ echo hello >file
$ git add file
$ echo hello >file ;# the same contents
$ git add file
The solution is not to use ie_modified() which goes to the
filesystem to see if it is really clean, but instead use
ie_match_stat() with "assume racily clean paths are dirty"
option, to force re-adding of such a path.
There was another problem with "git add -u". The codepath
shares the same issue when adding the paths that are found to be
modified, but in addition, it asked "git diff-files" machinery
run_diff_files() function (which is "git diff-files") to list
the paths that are modified. But "git diff-files" machinery
uses the same ie_modified() call so that it does not report
racily clean _and_ actually clean paths as modified, which is
not what we want.
The patch allows the callers of run_diff_files() to pass the
same "assume racily clean paths are dirty" option, and makes
"git-add -u" codepath to use that option, to discover and re-add
racily clean _and_ actually clean paths.
We could further optimize on top of this patch to differentiate
the case where the path really needs re-adding (i.e. the content
of the racily clean entry was indeed different) and the case
where only the cached stat information needs to be refreshed
(i.e. the racily clean entry was actually clean), but I do not
think it is worth it.
This patch applies to maint and all the way up.

ce_match_stat() can be told:
(1) to ignore CE_VALID bit (used under "assume unchanged" mode)
and perform the stat comparison anyway;
(2) not to perform the contents comparison for racily clean
entries and report mismatch of cached stat information;
using its "option" parameter. Give them symbolic constants.
Similarly, run_diff_files() can be told not to report anything
on removed paths. Also give it a symbolic constant for that.

When we compare two non-tracked files, or explicitly
specify --no-index, the suggestion to run git-status
is not helpful.
The patch adds a new diff_options bitfield member, no_index, that
is used instead of the special value of -2 of the rev_info field
max_count to indicate that the index is not to be used. This makes
it possible to pass that flag down to diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch(),
which only has one diff_options parameter.
This could even become a cleanup if we removed all assignments of
max_count to a value of -2 (viz. replacement of a magic value with
a self-documenting field name) but I didn't dare to do that so late
in the rc game..
The no_index bit, if set, then tells diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch()
to not account for any skipped stat-mismatches, which avoids the
suggestion to run git-status.

The earlier commit to read from stdin was full of problems, and
this corrects them.
- The mode bits should have been set to satisify S_ISREG(); we
forgot to the S_IFREG bits and hardcoded 0644;
- We did not give escape hatch to name a path whose name is
really "-". Allow users to say "./-" for that;
- Use of xread() was not prepared to see short read (e.g. reading
from tty) nor handing read errors.

This allows you to say
echo Hello World | git diff x -
to compare the contents of file "x" with the line "Hello World".
This automatically switches to --no-index mode.

Some file systems that can host git repositories and their working copies
do not support symbolic links. But then if the repository contains a symbolic
link, it is impossible to check out the working copy.
This patch enables partial support of symbolic links so that it is possible
to check out a working copy on such a file system. A new flag
core.symlinks (which is true by default) can be set to false to indicate
that the filesystem does not support symbolic links. In this case, symbolic
links that exist in the trees are checked out as small plain files, and
checking in modifications of these files preserve the symlink property in
the database (as long as an entry exists in the index).
Of course, this does not magically make symbolic links work on such defective
file systems; hence, this solution does not help if the working copy relies
on that an entry is a real symbolic link.

When specifying an absolute path, or a relative path pointing outside
the working tree, do not fail, but roll your own diffopt parsing,
and execute a --no-index diff.

diff sets the exit status to 0 when no changes were found, to 1
when changes were found, and 2 means error.
We imitate this to be able to use "git diff" in the test scripts.
(Actually, keeping in line with the rest of git, -1 is returned
on error, which corresponds to an exit status 255).
To find out if the diff is not empty, a member called
"found_changes" was introduced in struct diff_options, which is
set in builtin_diff() and fn_out_consume().
