qsort in Windows 2000 (and various other C libraries) is a Quicksort
with the usual O(n^2) worst case. Unfortunately, sorting Git trees
seems to get very close to that worst case quite often:
$ /git/gitbad runstatus
# On branch master
qsort, nmemb = 30842
done, 237838087 comparisons.
This patch adds a simplified version of the merge sort that is glibc's
qsort(3). As a merge sort, this needs a temporary array equal in size
to the array that is to be sorted, but has a worst-case performance of
O(n log n).
The complexity that was removed is:
* Doing direct stores for word-size and -aligned data.
* Falling back to quicksort if the allocation required to perform the
merge sort would likely push the machine into swap.
Even with these simplifications, this seems to outperform the Windows
qsort(3) implementation, even in Windows XP (where it is "fixed" and
doesn't trigger O(n^2) complexity on trees).
[jes: moved into compat/qsort.c, as per Johannes Sixt's suggestion]
[bcd: removed gcc-ism, thanks to Edgar Toernig. renamed make variable
per Junio's comment.]

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.

Now the routine is an open-coded loop that avoids an extra

Certain codepaths (notably "git log --pretty=format...") use

calling strlen() is a wasteful operation, so avoid it.

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.

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.

Usually you cannot revert a merge because you do not know which
side of the merge should be considered the mainline (iow, what
change to reverse).
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.

memcpy(res, src, len);

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.

git name-rev writes beyond the end of malloc() with large generations

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

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.

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.

Not all platforms have declared 'unsigned long' to be a 64 bit value,
but we want to support a 64 bit packfile (or close enough anyway)
in the near future as some projects are getting large enough that

By using off_t, the POSIX type that is declared to mean an offset

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".

In some cases we did not even bother to check the return value of
mmap() and just assume it worked. This is bad, because if we are
out of virtual address space the kernel returned MAP_FAILED and we
would attempt to dereference that address, segfaulting without any
real error output to the user.
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.

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

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.

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.
[jc: upcased the name of the symbolic constant, and made another
hardcoded constant into a symbolic constant while at it. ]

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.
