2008-01-24pre-POSIX.1-2001 systems do not have <sys/select.h>Libravatar Robert Schiele1-0/+2
POSIX.1-2001 has declaration of select(2) in <sys/select.h>, but in the previous version of SUS, it was declared in <sys/time.h> (which is already included in git-compat-util.h). This introduces NO_SYS_SELECT_H macro in the Makefile to be set on older systems, to skip inclusion of <sys/select.h> that does not exist on them. We could check _POSIX_VERSION with 200112L and do this automatically, but earlier it was reported that the approach does not work well on some vintage of HP-UX. Other systems may get _POSIX_VERSION itself wrong. At least for now, this manual configuration is safer.

2008-01-03Uninline prefixcmp()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+2
Now the routine is an open-coded loop that avoids an extra strlen() in the previous implementation, it got a bit too big to be inlined. Uninlining it makes code footprint smaller but the result still retains the avoidance of strlen() cost. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-01-02Optimize prefixcmp()Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+5
Certain codepaths (notably "git log --pretty=format...") use prefixcmp() extensively, with very short prefixes. In those cases, calling strlen() is a wasteful operation, so avoid it.

2007-11-20git-compat-util.h: auto-adjust to compiler support of FLEX_ARRAY a bit betterLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+18
When declaring a structure with a flexible array member, instead of defaulting to the c99 syntax for non-gnu compilers (which burned people with older compilers), default to the traditional and more portable "member[1]; /* more */" syntax. At the same time, other c99 compilers should be able to take advantage of the modern syntax to flexible array members without being gcc. Check __STDC_VERSION__ for that.

2007-11-11Simplify strchrnul() compat codeLibravatar Andreas Ericsson1-2/+7
strchrnul() was introduced in glibc in April 1999 and included in glibc-2.1. Checking for that version means the majority of all git users would get to use the optimized version in glibc. Of the remaining few some might get to use a slightly slower version than necessary but probably not slower than what we have today. Unfortunately, __GLIBC_PREREQ() macro was not available in glibc 2.1.1 which was short lived but already supported strchrnul(). Odd minority users of that library needs to live with our compatibility inline version.

With this patch, cherry-pick and revert learn -m (--mainline) option that lets you specify the parent number (starting from 1) of the mainline, so that you can: git revert -m 1 $merge to reverse the changes introduced by the $merge commit relative to its first parent, and: git cherry-pick -m 2 $merge to replay the changes introduced by the $merge commit relative to its second parent.

A lot of places in git's code use code like: char *res; len = ... find length of an interesting segment in src ...; res = xmalloc(len + 1); memcpy(res, src, len); res[len] = '\0'; return res; A new function xmemdupz() captures the allocation, copy and NUL termination.

2007-09-06add memmem()Libravatar René Scharfe1-0/+6
memmem() is a nice GNU extension for searching a length limited string in another one. This compat version is based on the version found in glibc 2.2 (GPL 2); I only removed the optimization of checking the first char by hand, and generally tried to keep the code simple. We can add it back if memcmp shows up high in a profile, but for now I prefer to keep it (almost trivially) simple. Since I don't really know which platforms beside those with a glibc have their own memmem(), I used a heuristic: if NO_STRCASESTR is set, then NO_MEMMEM is set, too.

2007-05-15git name-rev writes beyond the end of malloc() with large generationsLibravatar Andy Whitcroft1-0/+3
When using git name-rev on my kernel tree I triggered a malloc() corruption warning from glibc. apw@pinky$ git log --pretty=one $N/base.. | git name-rev --stdin *** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0bff8950 *** Aborted This comes from name_rev() which is building the name of the revision in a malloc'd string, which it sprintf's into: char *new_name = xmalloc(len + 8); [...] sprintf(new_name, "%.*s~%d^%d", len, tip_name, generation, parent_number); This allocation is only sufficient if the generation number is less than 5 digits, in my case generation was 13432. In reality parent_number can be up to 16 so that also can require two digits, reducing us to 3 digits before we are at risk of blowing this allocation. This patch introduces a decimal_length() which approximates the number of digits a type may hold, it produces the following: Type Longest Value Len Est ---- ------------- --- --- unsigned char 256 3 4 unsigned short 65536 5 6 unsigned long 4294967296 10 11 unsigned long long 18446744073709551616 20 21 char -128 4 4 short -32768 6 6 long -2147483648 11 11 long long -9223372036854775808 20 21 This is then used to size the new_name.

2007-04-25Actually handle some-low memory conditionsLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-6/+6
Tim Ansell discovered his Debian server didn't permit git-daemon to use as much memory as it needed to handle cloning a project with a 128 MiB packfile. Filtering the strace provided by Tim of the rev-list child showed this gem of a sequence: open("./objects/pack/pack-*.pack", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE <unfinished ...> <... open resumed> ) = 5 OK, so the packfile is fd 5... mmap2(NULL, 33554432, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0 <unfinished ...> <... mmap2 resumed> ) = 0xb5e2d000 and we mapped one 32 MiB window from it at position 0... mmap2(NULL, 31020635, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0x6000 <unfinished ...> <... mmap2 resumed> ) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory) And we asked for another window further into the file. But got denied. In Tim's case this was due to a resource limit on the git-daemon process, and its children. Now where are we in the code? We're down inside use_pack(), after we have called unuse_one_window() enough times to make sure we stay within our allowed maximum window size. However since we didn't unmap the prior window at 0xb5e2d000 we aren't exceeding the current limit (which probably was just the defaults). But we're actually down inside xmmap()... So we release the window we do have (by calling release_pack_memory), assuming there is some memory pressure... munmap(0xb5e2d000, 33554432 <unfinished ...> <... munmap resumed> ) = 0 close(5 <unfinished ...> <... close resumed> ) = 0 And that was the last window in this packfile. So we closed it. Way to go us. Our xmmap did not expect release_pack_memory to close the fd its about to map... mmap2(NULL, 31020635, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0x6000 <unfinished ...> <... mmap2 resumed> ) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) And so the Linux kernel happily tells us f' off. write(2, "fatal: ", 7 <unfinished ...> <... write resumed> ) = 7 write(2, "Out of memory? mmap failed: Bad "..., 47 <unfinished ...> <... write resumed> ) = 47 And we report the bad file descriptor error, and not the ENOMEM, and die, claiming we are out of memory. But actually that mmap should have succeeded, as we had enough memory for that window, seeing as how we released the prior one. Originally when I developed the sliding window mmap feature I had this exact same bug in fast-import, and I dealt with it by handing in the struct packed_git* we want to open the new window for, as the caller wasn't prepared to reopen the packfile if unuse_one_window closed it. The same is true here from xmmap, but the caller doesn't have the struct packed_git* handy. So I'm using the file descriptor instead to perform the same test. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-03-07Cast 64 bit off_t to 32 bit size_tLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+5
Some systems have sizeof(off_t) == 8 while sizeof(size_t) == 4. This implies that we are able to access and work on files whose maximum length is around 2^63-1 bytes, but we can only malloc or mmap somewhat less than 2^32-1 bytes of memory. On such a system an implicit conversion of off_t to size_t can cause the size_t to wrap, resulting in unexpected and exciting behavior. Right now we are working around all gcc warnings generated by the -Wshorten-64-to-32 option by passing the off_t through xsize_t(). In the future we should make xsize_t on such problematic platforms detect the wrapping and die if such a file is accessed. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-01-11Better error messages for corrupt databasesLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+2
This fixes another problem that Andy's case showed: git-fsck-objects reports nonsensical results for corrupt objects. There were actually two independent and confusing problems: - when we had a zero-sized file and used map_sha1_file, mmap() would return EINVAL, and git-fsck-objects would report that as an insane and confusing error. I don't know when this was introduced, it might have been there forever. - when "parse_object()" returned NULL, fsck would say "object not found", which can be very confusing, since obviously the object might "exist", it's just unparseable because it's totally corrupt. So this just makes "xmmap()" return NULL for a zero-sized object (which is a valid thing pointer, exactly the same way "malloc()" can return NULL for a zero-sized allocation). That fixes the first problem (but we could have fixed it in the caller too - I don't personally much care whichever way it goes, but maybe somebody should check that the NO_MMAP case does something sane in this case too?). And the second problem is solved by just making the error message slightly clearer - the failure to parse an object may be because it's missing or corrupt, not necessarily because it's not "found".

We are replacing all calls to mmap() with xmmap() and moving all MAP_FAILED checking into that single location. If a mmap call fails we try to release enough least-recently-used pack windows to possibly succeed, then retry the mmap() attempt. If we cannot mmap even after releasing pack memory then we die() as none of our callers have any reasonable recovery strategy for a failed mmap. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2006-12-29Release pack windows before reporting out of memory.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-8/+32
If we are about to fail because this process has run out of memory we should first try to automatically control our appetite for address space by releasing enough least-recently-used pack windows to gain back enough memory such that we might actually be able to meet the current allocation request. This should help users who have fairly large repositories but are working on systems with relatively small virtual address space. Many times we see reports on the mailing list of these users running out of memory during various Git operations. Dynamically decreasing the amount of pack memory used when the demand for heap memory is increasing is an intelligent solution to this problem. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2006-12-29Default core.packdGitWindowSize to 1 MiB if NO_MMAP.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+5
If the compiler has asked us to disable use of mmap() on their platform then we are forced to use git_mmap and its emulation via pread. In this case large (e.g. 32 MiB) windows for pack access are simply too big as a command will wind up reading a lot more data than it will ever need, significantly reducing response time. To prevent a high latency when NO_MMAP has been selected we now use a default of 1 MiB for core.packedGitWindowSize. Credit goes to Linus and Junio for recommending this more reasonable setting.

2006-12-24Rename gitfakemmap to git_mmap.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-4/+4
This minor cleanup was suggested by Johannes Schindelin. The mmap is still fake in the sense that we don't support PROT_WRITE or MAP_SHARED with external modification at all, but that hasn't stopped us from using mmap() thoughout the Git code.

2006-12-21Introduce a global level warn() function.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+2
Like the existing error() function the new warn() function can be used to describe a situation that probably should not be occuring, but which the user (and Git) can continue to work around without running into too many problems. An example situation is a bad commit SHA1 found in a reflog. Attempting to read this record out of the reflog isn't really an error as we have skipped over it in the past. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
