2021-09-09diff: ignore sparse paths in diffstatLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+8
The diff_populate_filespec() method is used to describe the diff after a merge operation is complete. In order to avoid expanding a sparse index, the reuse_worktree_file() needs to be adapted to ignore files that are outside of the sparse-checkout cone. The file names and OIDs used for this check come from the merged tree in the case of the ORT strategy, not the index, hence the ability to look into these paths without having already expanded the index. The work done by reuse_worktree_file() is only an optimization, and requires the file being on disk for it to be of any value. Thus, it is safe to exit the method early if we do not expect the file on disk.

2021-07-15rename: bump limit defaults yet againLibravatar Elijah Newren1-1/+1
These were last bumped in commit 92c57e5c1d29 (bump rename limit defaults (again), 2011-02-19), and were bumped both because processors had gotten faster, and because people were getting ugly merges that caused problems and reporting it to the mailing list (suggesting that folks were willing to spend more time waiting). Since that time: * Linus has continued recommending kernel folks to set diff.renameLimit=0 (maps to 32767, currently) * Folks with repositories with lots of renames were happy to set merge.renameLimit above 32767, once the code supported that, to get correct cherry-picks * Processors have gotten faster * It has been discovered that the timing methodology used last time probably used too large example files. The last point is probably worth explaining a bit more: * The "average" file size used appears to have been average blob size in the linux kernel history at the time (probably v2.6.25 or something close to it). * Since bigger files are modified more frequently, such a computation weights towards larger files. * Larger files may be more likely to be modified over time, but are not more likely to be renamed -- the mean and median blob size within a tree are a bit higher than the mean and median of blob sizes in the history leading up to that version for the linux kernel. * The mean blob size in v2.6.25 was half the average blob size in history leading to that point * The median blob size in v2.6.25 was about 40% of the mean blob size in v2.6.25. * Since the mean blob size is more than double the median blob size, any file as big as the mean will not be compared to any files of median size or less (because they'd be more than 50% dissimilar). * Since it is the number of files compared that provides the O(n^2) behavior, median-sized files should matter more than mean-sized ones. The combined effect of the above is that the file size used in past calculations was likely about 5x too large. Combine that with a CPU performance improvement of ~30%, and we can increase the limits by a factor of sqrt(5/(1-.3)) = 2.67, while keeping the original stated time limits. Keeping the same approximate time limit probably makes sense for diff.renameLimit (there is no progress feedback in e.g. git log -p), but the experience above suggests merge.renameLimit could be extended significantly. In fact, it probably would make sense to have an unlimited default setting for merge.renameLimit, but that would likely need to be coupled with changes to how progress is displayed. (See https://lore.kernel.org/git/YOx+Ok%2FEYvLqRMzJ@coredump.intra.peff.net/ for details in that area.) For now, let's just bump the approximate time limit from 10s to 1m. (Note: We do not want to use actual time limits, because getting results that depend on how loaded your system is that day feels bad, and because we don't discover that we won't get all the renames until after we've put in a lot of work rather than just upfront telling the user there are too many files involved.) Using the original time limit of 2s for diff.renameLimit, and bumping merge.renameLimit from 10s to 60s, I found the following timings using the simple script at the end of this commit message (on an AWS c5.xlarge which reports as "Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8124M CPU @ 3.00GHz"): N Timing 1300 1.995s 7100 59.973s So let's round down to nice even numbers and bump the limits from 400->1000, and from 1000->7000.

The warning when quadratic rename detection was skipped referred to "inexact rename detection". For years, the only linear portion of rename detection was looking for exact renames, so "inexact rename detection" was an accurate way to refer to the quadratic portion of rename detection.

2021-05-11xdiff-interface: replace discard_hunk_line() with a flagLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-3/+4
Remove the dummy discard_hunk_line() function added in 3b40a090fd4 (diff: avoid generating unused hunk header lines, 2018-11-02) in favor of having a new XDL_EMIT_NO_HUNK_HDR flag, for use along with the two existing and similar XDL_EMIT_* flags. Unlike the recently amended xdiff_emit_line_fn interface which'll be called in a loop in xdl_emit_diff(), the hunk header is only emitted once. It makes more sense to pass this as a flag than provide a dummy callback because that function may be able to skip doing certain work if it knows the caller is doing nothing with the hunk header. It would be possible to do so in the case of -U0 now, but the benefit of doing so is so small that I haven't bothered. But this leaves the door open to that, and more importantly makes the API use more intuitive. The reason we're putting a flag in the gap between 1<<0 and 1<<2 is that the old 1<<1 flag was removed in 907681e940d (xdiff: drop XDL_EMIT_COMMON, 2016-02-23) without re-ordering the remaining flags.

2021-05-05word diff: handle zero length matchesLibravatar Phillip Wood1-3/+7
If find_word_boundaries() encounters a zero length match (which can be caused by matching a newline or using '*' instead of '+' in the regex) we stop splitting the input into words which generates an inaccurate diff. To fix this increment the start point when there is a zero length match and try a new match. This is safe as posix regular expressions always return the longest available match so a zero length match means there are no longer matches available from the current position. Commit bf82940dbf1 (color-words: enable REG_NEWLINE to help user, 2009-01-17) prevented matching newlines in negated character classes but it is still possible for the user to have an explicit newline match in the regex which could cause a zero length match. One could argue that having explicit newline matches or using '*' rather than '+' are user errors but it seems to be better to work round them than produce inaccurate diffs.

Up until recently, object IDs did not have an algorithm member, only a hash. Consequently, it was possible to share one null (all-zeros) object ID among all hash algorithms. Now that we're going to be handling objects from multiple hash algorithms, it's important to make sure that all object IDs have a correct algorithm field. Introduce a per-algorithm null OID, and add it to struct hash_algo. Introduce a wrapper function as well, and use it everywhere we used to use the null_oid constant.

2021-02-16diff: --{rotate,skip}-to=<path>Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+21
In the implementation of "git difftool", there is a case where the user wants to start viewing the diffs at a specific path and continue on to the rest, optionally wrapping around to the beginning. Since it is somewhat cumbersome to implement such a feature as a post-processing step of "git diff" output, let's support it internally with two new options. - "git diff --rotate-to=C", when the resulting patch would show paths A B C D E without the option, would "rotate" the paths to shows patch to C D E A B instead. It is an error when there is no patch for C is shown. - "git diff --skip-to=C" would instead "skip" the paths before C, and shows patch to C D E. Again, it is an error when there is no patch for C is shown. - "git log [-p]" also accepts these two options, but it is not an error if there is no change to the specified path. Instead, the set of output paths are rotated or skipped to the specified path or the first path that sorts after the specified path. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-02-11diff: plug memory leak from regcomp() on {log,diff} -ILibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+12
Fix a memory leak in 296d4a94e7 (diff: add -I<regex> that ignores matching changes, 2020-10-20) by freeing the memory it allocates in the newly introduced diff_free(). See the previous commit for details on that. This memory leak was intentionally introduced in 296d4a94e7, see the discussion on a previous iteration of it in https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqeelycajx.fsf@gitster.c.googlers.com/ At that time freeing the memory was somewhat tedious, but since it isn't anymore with the newly introduced diff_free() let's use it. Let's retain the pattern for diff_free_file() and add a diff_free_ignore_regex(), even though (unlike "diff_free_file") we don't need to call it elsewhere. I think this'll make for more readable code than gradually accumulating a giant diff_free() function, sharing "int i" across unrelated code etc. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-02-11diff: add an API for deferred freeingLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-4/+16
Add a diff_free() function to free anything we may have allocated in the "diff_options" struct, and the ability to make calling it a noop by setting "no_free" in "diff_options". This is required because when e.g. "git diff" is run we'll allocate things in that struct, use the diff machinery once, and then exit. But if we run e.g. "git log -p" we're going to re-use what we allocated across multiple diff_flush() calls, and only want to free things at the end. We've thus ended up with features like the recently added "diff -I"[1] where we'll leak memory. As it turns out it could have simply used the pattern established in 6ea57703f6 (log: prepare log/log-tree to reuse the diffopt.close_file attribute, 2016-06-22). Manually adding more such flags to things log_tree_commit() every time we need to allocate something would be tedious. Let's instead move that fclose() code it to a new diff_free(), in anticipation of freeing more things in that function in follow-up commits. Some functions such as log_tree_commit() need an idiom of optionally retaining a previous "no_free", as they may either free the memory themselves, or their caller may do so. I'm keeping that idiom in log_show_early() for good measure, even though I don't think it's currently called in this manner. It also gets passed an existing "struct rev_info", so future callers may want to set the "no_free" flag. This change is a bit hard to read because while the freeing pattern we're introducing isn't unusual, the "file" member is a special snowflake. We usually don't want to fclose() it. This is because "file" is usually stdout, in which case we don't want to fclose() it. We only want to opt-in to closing it when we e.g. open a file on the filesystem. Thus the opt-in "close_file" flag. So the API in general just needs a "no_free" flag to defer freeing, but the "file" member still needs its "close_file" flag. This is made more confusing because while refactoring this code we could replace some "close_file=0" with "no_free=1", whereas others need to set both flags. This is because there were some cases where an existing "close_file=0" meant "let's defer deallocation", and others where it meant "we don't want to close this file handle at all". 1. 296d4a94e7 (diff: add -I<regex> that ignores matching changes, 2020-10-20) Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2020-10-20diff: add -I<regex> that ignores matching changesLibravatar Michał Kępień1-0/+23
Add a new diff option that enables ignoring changes whose all lines (changed, removed, and added) match a given regular expression. This is similar to the -I/--ignore-matching-lines option in standalone diff utilities and can be used e.g. to ignore changes which only affect code comments or to look for unrelated changes in commits containing a large number of automatically applied modifications (e.g. a tree-wide string replacement). The difference between -G/-S and the new -I option is that the latter filters output on a per-change basis. Use the 'ignore' field of xdchange_t for marking a change as ignored or not. Since the same field is used by --ignore-blank-lines, identical hunk emitting rules apply for --ignore-blank-lines and -I. These two options can also be used together in the same git invocation (they are complementary to each other). Rename xdl_mark_ignorable() to xdl_mark_ignorable_lines(), to indicate that it is logically a "sibling" of xdl_mark_ignorable_regex() rather than its "parent".

2020-08-21diff: index-line: respect --abbrev in object's nameLibravatar Đoàn Trần Công Danh1-1/+4
A handful of Git's commands respect `--abbrev' for customizing length of abbreviation of object names. For diff-family, Git supports 2 different options for 2 different purposes, `--full-index' for showing diff-patch object's name in full, and `--abbrev' to customize the length of object names in diff-raw and diff-tree header lines, without any options to customise the length of object names in diff-patch format. When working with diff-patch format, we only have two options, either full index, or default abbrev length. Although, that behaviour is documented, it doesn't stop users from trying to use `--abbrev' with the hope of customising diff-patch's objects' name's abbreviation. Let's allow the blob object names shown on the "index" line to be abbreviated to arbitrary length given via the "--abbrev" option. To preserve backward compatibility with old script that specify both `--full-index' and `--abbrev', always show full object id if `--full-index' is specified.

2020-08-19diff: teach --stat to ignore uninteresting modificationsLibravatar Matthew Rogers1-7/+31
When options such as --ignore-space-change are in use, files with modifications can have no interesting textual changes worth showing. In such cases, "git diff --stat" shows 0 lines of additions and deletions. Teach "git diff --stat" not to show such a path in its output, which would be more natural. However, we don't want to prevent the display of all files that have 0 effective diffs since they could be the result of a rename, permission change, or other similar operation that may still be of interest so we special case additions and deletions as they are always interesting.

2020-08-18patch-id: ignore newline at end of file in diff_flush_patch_id()Libravatar René Scharfe1-0/+2
Whitespace is ignored when calculating patch IDs. This is done by removing all whitespace from diff lines before hashing them, including a newline at the end of a file. If that newline is missing, however, diff reports that fact in a separate line containing "\ No newline at end of file\n", and this marker is hashed like a context line. This goes against our goal of making patch IDs independent of whitespace. Use the same heuristic that 2485eab55cc (git-patch-id: do not trip over "no newline" markers, 2011-02-17) added to git patch-id instead and skip diff lines that start with a backslash and a space and are longer than twelve characters.

2020-08-12submodule: rename helper functions to avoid ambiguityLibravatar Shourya Shukla1-1/+1
The helper functions: show_submodule_summary(), prepare_submodule_summary() and print_submodule_summary() are used by the builtin_diff() function in diff.c to generate a summary of submodules in the context of a diff. Functions with similar names are to be introduced in the upcoming port of submodule's summary subcommand. So, rename the helper functions to '*_diff_submodule_summary()' to avoid ambiguity.

2020-07-30strvec: rename struct fieldsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The "argc" and "argv" names made sense when the struct was argv_array, but now they're just confusing. Let's rename them to "nr" (which we use for counts elsewhere) and "v" (which is rather terse, but reads well when combined with typical variable names like "args.v"). Note that we have to update all of the callers immediately. Playing tricks with the preprocessor is hard here, because we wouldn't want to rewrite unrelated tokens.

2020-07-28strvec: convert more callers away from argv_array nameLibravatar Jeff King1-14/+14
We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once, or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits. Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different names is OK). This patch converts remaining files from the first half of the alphabet, to keep the diff to a manageable size. The conversion was done purely mechanically with: git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' | xargs perl -i -pe ' s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g; s/argv_array/strvec/g; ' and then selectively staging files with "git add '[abcdefghjkl]*'". We'll deal with any indentation/style fallouts separately. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Reduce memory usage during "diff --quiet" in a worktree with too many stat-unmatched paths. * jk/diff-memuse-optim-with-stat-unmatch: diff: discard blob data from stat-unmatched pairs
2020-06-02diff: discard blob data from stat-unmatched pairsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+4
When performing a tree-level diff against the working tree, we may find that our index stat information is dirty, so we queue a filepair to be examined later. If the actual content hasn't changed, we call this a stat-unmatch; the stat information was out of date, but there's no actual diff. Normally diffcore_std() would detect and remove these identical filepairs via diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch(). However, when "--quiet" is used, we want to stop the diff as soon as we see any changes, so we check for stat-unmatches immediately in diff_change(). That check may require us to actually load the file contents into the pair of diff_filespecs. If we find that the pair isn't a stat-unmatch, then no big deal; we'd likely load the contents later anyway to generate a patch, do rename detection, etc, so we want to hold on to it. But if it is a stat-unmatch, then we have no more use for that data; the whole point is that we're going discard the pair. However, we never free the allocated diff_filespec data. In most cases, keeping that data isn't a problem. We don't expect a lot of stat-unmatch entries, and since we're using --quiet, we'd quit as soon as we saw such a real change anyway. However, there are extreme cases where it makes a big difference: 1. We'd generally mmap() the working tree half of the pair. And since the OS may limit the total number of maps, we can run afoul of this in large repositories. E.g.: $ cd linux $ git ls-files | wc -l 67959 $ sysctl vm.max_map_count vm.max_map_count = 65530 $ git ls-files | xargs touch ;# everything is stat-dirty! $ git diff --quiet fatal: mmap failed: Cannot allocate memory It should be unusual to have so many files stat-dirty, but it's possible if you've just run a script like "sed -i" or similar. After this patch, the above correctly exits with code 0. 2. Even if you don't hit mmap limits, the index half of the pair will have been pulled from the object database into heap memory. Again in a clone of linux.git, running: $ git ls-files | head -n 10000 | xargs touch $ git diff --quiet peaks at 145MB heap before this patch, and 94MB after. This patch solves the problem by freeing any diff_filespec data we picked up during the "--quiet" stat-unmatch check in diff_changes. Nobody is going to need that data later, so there's no point holding on to it. There are a few things to note: - we could skip queueing the pair entirely, which could in theory save a little work. But there's not much to save, as we need a diff_filepair to feed to diff_filespec_check_stat_unmatch() anyway. And since we cache the result of the stat-unmatch checks, a later call to diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() call will quickly skip over them. The diffcore code also counts up the number of stat-unmatched pairs as it removes them. It's doubtful any callers would care about that in combination with --quiet, but we'd have to reimplement the logic here to be on the safe side. So it's not really worth the trouble. - I didn't write a test, because we always produce the correct output unless we run up against system mmap limits, which are both unportable and expensive to test against. Measuring peak heap would be interesting, but our perf suite isn't yet capable of that. - note that diff without "--quiet" does not suffer from the same problem. In diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch(), we detect the stat-unmatch entries and drop them immediately, so we're not carrying their data around. - you _can_ still trigger the mmap limit problem if you truly have that many files with actual changes. But it's rather unlikely. The stat-unmatch check avoids loading the file contents if the sizes don't match, so you'd need a pretty trivial change in every single file. Likewise, inexact rename detection might load the data for many files all at once. But you'd need not just 64k changes, but that many deletions and additions. The most likely candidate is perhaps break-detection, which would load the data for all pairs and keep it around for the content-level diff. But again, you'd need 64k actually changed files in the first place. So it's still possible to trigger this case, but it seems like "I accidentally made all my files stat-dirty" is the most likely case in the real world.

2020-04-07diff: restrict when prefetching occursLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-22/+51
Commit 7fbbcb21b1 ("diff: batch fetching of missing blobs", 2019-04-08) optimized "diff" by prefetching blobs in a partial clone, but there are some cases wherein blobs do not need to be prefetched. In these cases, any command that uses the diff machinery will unnecessarily fetch blobs. diffcore_std() may read blobs when it calls the following functions: (1) diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() (controlled by the config variable diff.autorefreshindex) (2) diffcore_break() and diffcore_merge_broken() (for break-rewrite detection) (3) diffcore_rename() (for rename detection) (4) diffcore_pickaxe() (for detecting addition/deletion of specified string) Instead of always prefetching blobs, teach diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch(), diffcore_break(), and diffcore_rename() to prefetch blobs upon the first read of a missing object. This covers (1), (2), and (3): to cover the rest, teach diffcore_std() to prefetch if the output type is one that includes blob data (and hence blob data will be required later anyway), or if it knows that (4) will be run.
