2021-09-08grep: typesafe versions of grep_source_initLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-3/+4
grep_source_init() can create "struct grep_source" objects and, depending on the value of the type passed, some void-pointer parameters have different meanings. Because one of these types (GREP_SOURCE_OID) will require an additional parameter in a subsequent patch, take the opportunity to increase clarity and type safety by replacing this function with individual functions for each type.

2021-02-17grep/pcre2: move back to thread-only PCREv2 structuresLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+2
Change the setup of the "pcre2_general_context" to happen per-thread in compile_pcre2_pattern() instead of in grep_init(). This change brings it in line with how the rest of the pcre2_* members in the grep_pat structure are set up. As noted in the preceding commit the approach 513f2b0bbd4 (grep: make PCRE2 aware of custom allocator, 2019-10-16) took to allocate the pcre2_general_context seems to have been initially based on a misunderstanding of how PCREv2 memory allocation works. The approach of creating a global context in grep_init() is just added complexity for almost zero gain. On my system it's 24 bytes saved per-thread. For comparison PCREv2 will then go on to allocate at least a kilobyte for its own thread-local state. As noted in 6d423dd542f (grep: don't redundantly compile throwaway patterns under threading, 2017-05-25) the grep code is intentionally not trying to micro-optimize allocations by e.g. sharing some PCREv2 structures globally, while making others thread-local. So let's remove this special case and make all of them thread-local again for simplicity. With this change we could move the pcre2_{malloc,free} functions around to live closer to their current use. I'm not doing that here to keep this change small, that cleanup will be done in a follow-up commit. See also the discussion in 94da9193a6 (grep: add support for PCRE v2, 2017-06-01) about thread safety, and Johannes's comments[1] to the effect that we should be doing what this patch is doing. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/nycvar.QRO.7.76.6.1908052120302.46@tvgsbejvaqbjf.bet/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-02-17grep/pcre2: use pcre2_maketables_free() functionLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+3
Make use of the pcre2_maketables_free() function to free the memory allocated by pcre2_maketables(). At first sight it's strange that 10da030ab75 (grep: avoid leak of chartables in PCRE2, 2019-10-16) which added the free() call here doesn't make use of the pcre2_free() the author introduced in the preceding commit in 513f2b0bbd4 (grep: make PCRE2 aware of custom allocator, 2019-10-16). The reason is that at the time the function didn't exist. It was first introduced in PCREv2 version 10.34, released on 2019-11-21. Let's make use of it behind a macro. I don't think this matters for anything to do with custom allocators, but it makes our use of PCREv2 more discoverable. At some distant point in the future we'll be able to drop the version guard, as nobody will be running a version older than 10.34.

Replace a use of pcre2_config(PCRE2_CONFIG_VERSION, ...) which I added in 95ca1f987ed (grep/pcre2: better support invalid UTF-8 haystacks, 2021-01-24) with the same test done at compile-time. It might be cuter to do this at runtime since we don't have to do the "major >= 11 || (major >= 10 && ...)" test. But in the next commit we'll add another version comparison that absolutely needs to be done at compile-time, so we're better of being consistent across the board.

2021-01-26grep/log: remove hidden --debug and --grep-debug optionsLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+0
Remove the hidden "grep --debug" and "log --grep-debug" options added in 17bf35a3c7b (grep: teach --debug option to dump the parse tree, 2012-09-13). At the time these options seem to have been intended to go along with a documentation discussion and to help the author of relevant tests to perform ad-hoc debugging on them[1]. Reasons to want this gone: 1. They were never documented, and the only (rather trivial) use of them in our own codebase for testing is something I removed back in e01b4dab01e (grep: change non-ASCII -i test to stop using --debug, 2017-05-20). 2. Googling around doesn't show any in-the-wild uses I could dig up, and on the Git ML the only mentions after the original discussion seem to have been when they came up in unrelated diff contexts, or that test commit of mine. 3. An exception to that is c581e4a7499 (grep: under --debug, show whether PCRE JIT is enabled, 2019-08-18) where we added the ability to dump out when PCREv2 has the JIT in effect. The combination of that and my earlier b65abcafc7a (grep: use PCRE v2 for optimized fixed-string search, 2019-07-01) means Git prints this out in its most common in-the-wild configuration: $ git log --grep-debug --grep=foo --grep=bar --grep=baz --all-match pcre2_jit_on=1 pcre2_jit_on=1 pcre2_jit_on=1 [all-match] (or pattern_body<body>foo (or pattern_body<body>bar pattern_body<body>baz ) ) $ git grep --debug \( -e foo --and -e bar \) --or -e baz pcre2_jit_on=1 pcre2_jit_on=1 pcre2_jit_on=1 (or (and patternfoo patternbar ) patternbaz ) I.e. for each pattern we're considering for the and/or/--all-match etc. debugging we'll now diligently spew out another identical line saying whether the PCREv2 JIT is on or not. I think that nobody's complained about that rather glaringly obviously bad output says something about how much this is used, i.e. it's not. The need for this debugging aid for the composed grep/log patterns seems to have passed, and the desire to dump the JIT config seems to have been another one-off around the time we had JIT-related issues on the PCREv2 codepath. That the original author of this debugging facility seemingly hasn't noticed the bad output since then[2] is probably some indicator. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover.1347615361.git.git@drmicha.warpmail.net/ 2. https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqk1b8x0ac.fsf@gitster-ct.c.googlers.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-01-24grep/pcre2: better support invalid UTF-8 haystacksLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+4
Improve the support for invalid UTF-8 haystacks given a non-ASCII needle when using the PCREv2 backend. This is a more complete fix for a bug I started to fix in 870eea8166 (grep: do not enter PCRE2_UTF mode on fixed matching, 2019-07-26), now that PCREv2 has the PCRE2_MATCH_INVALID_UTF mode we can make use of it. This fixes the sort of case described in 8a5999838e (grep: stess test PCRE v2 on invalid UTF-8 data, 2019-07-26), i.e.: - The subject string is non-ASCII (e.g. "ævar") - We're under a is_utf8_locale(), e.g. "en_US.UTF-8", not "C" - We are using --ignore-case, or we're a non-fixed pattern If those conditions were satisfied and we matched found non-valid UTF-8 data PCREv2 might bark on it, in practice this only happened under the JIT backend (turned on by default on most platforms). Ultimately this fixes a "regression" in b65abcafc7 ("grep: use PCRE v2 for optimized fixed-string search", 2019-07-01), I'm putting that in scare-quotes because before then we wouldn't properly support these complex case-folding, locale etc. cases either, it just broke in different ways. There was a bug related to this the PCRE2_NO_START_OPTIMIZE flag fixed in PCREv2 10.36. It can be worked around by setting the PCRE2_NO_START_OPTIMIZE flag. Let's do that in those cases, and add tests for the bug. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-01-23Remove support for v1 of the PCRE libraryLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-14/+0
Remove support for using version 1 of the PCRE library. Its use has been discouraged by upstream for a long time, and it's in a bugfix-only state. Anyone who was relying on v1 in particular got a nudge to move to v2 in e6c531b808 (Makefile: make USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease mean v2, not v1, 2018-03-11), which was first released as part of v2.18.0. With this the LIBPCRE2 test prerequisites is redundant to PCRE. But I'm keeping it for self-documentation purposes, and to avoid conflict with other in-flight PCRE patches. I'm also not changing all of our own "pcre2" names to "pcre", i.e. the inverse of 6d4b5747f0 (grep: change internal *pcre* variable & function names to be *pcre1*, 2017-05-25). I don't see the point, and it makes the history/blame harder to read. Maybe if there's ever a PCRE v3...

2020-11-21grep: don't set up a "default" repo for grepLibravatar Martin Ågren1-1/+1
`init_grep_defaults()` fills a `static struct grep_opt grep_defaults`. This struct is then used by `grep_init()` as a blueprint for other such structs. Notably, `grep_init()` takes a `struct repo *` and assigns it into the target struct. As a result, it is unnecessary for us to take a `struct repo *` in `init_grep_defaults()` as well. We assign it into the default struct and never look at it again. And in light of how we return early if we have already set up the default struct, it's not just unnecessary, but is also a bit confusing: If we are called twice and with different repos, is it a bug or a feature that we ignore the second repo?

2020-01-17grep: replace grep_read_mutex by internal obj read lockLibravatar Matheus Tavares1-13/+0
git-grep uses 'grep_read_mutex' to protect its calls to object reading operations. But these have their own internal lock now, which ensures a better performance (allowing parallel access to more regions). So, let's remove the former and, instead, activate the latter with enable_obj_read_lock(). Sections that are currently protected by 'grep_read_mutex' but are not internally protected by the object reading lock should be surrounded by obj_read_lock() and obj_read_unlock(). These guarantee mutual exclusion with object reading operations, keeping the current behavior and avoiding race conditions. Namely, these places are: In grep.c: - fill_textconv() at fill_textconv_grep(). - userdiff_get_textconv() at grep_source_1(). In builtin/grep.c: - parse_object_or_die() and the submodule functions at grep_submodule(). - deref_tag() and gitmodules_config_oid() at grep_objects(). If these functions become thread-safe, in the future, we might remove the locking and probably get some speedup. Note that some of the submodule functions will already be thread-safe (or close to being thread-safe) with the internal object reading lock. However, as some of them will require additional modifications to be removed from the critical section, this will be done in its own patch.

2019-10-18grep: make PCRE2 aware of custom allocatorLibravatar Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón1-0/+1
94da9193a6 (grep: add support for PCRE v2, 2017-06-01) didn't include a way to override the system allocator, and so it is incompatible with custom allocators (e.g. nedmalloc). This problem became obvious when we tried to plug a memory leak by `free()`ing a data structure allocated by PCRE2, triggering a segfault in Windows (where we use nedmalloc by default). PCRE2 requires the use of a general context to override the allocator and therefore, there is a lot more code needed than in PCRE1, including a couple of wrapper functions. Extend the grep API with a "destructor" that could be called to cleanup any objects that were created and used globally. Update `builtin/grep.c` to use that new API, but any other future users should make sure to have matching `grep_init()`/`grep_destroy()` calls if they are using the pattern matching functionality. Move some of the logic that was before done per thread (in the workers) into an earlier phase to avoid degrading performance, but as the use of PCRE2 with custom allocators is better understood it is expected more of its functions will be instructed to use the custom allocator as well as was done in the original code[1] this work was based on.

18547aacf5 ("grep/pcre: support utf-8", 2016-06-25) that was released with git 2.10 added the PCRE_UTF8 flag to PCRE1 matching including a call to has_non_ascii() to try to avoid breakage if there was non-utf8 encoded content in the haystack. Usually PCRE is compiled with JIT support (even if is not the default), and therefore the codepath used includes calling pcre_jit_exec, which skips UTF-8 validation by design (which might result in crashes or hangs) but when JIT support wasn't compiled we use pcre_exec instead with the posibility that grep might be aborted if invalid UTF-8 is found in the haystack. PCRE1 provides a flag since Mar 5, 2007 that could be used to skip the checks explicitly so use that to make both codepaths equivalent (the flag is ignored by pcre1_jit_exec) this fix is only implemented for PCRE1 because PCRE2 is likely to have a better solution (without the risks) instead in the future Helped-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Helped-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Helped-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Suggested-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón <carenas@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2019-07-26grep: stop using a custom JIT stack with PCRE v1Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-5/+0
Simplify the PCRE v1 code for the same reasons as for the PCRE v2 code in the last commit. Unlike with v2 we actually used the custom stack in v1, but let's use PCRE's built-in 32 KB one instead, since experience with v2 shows that's enough. Most distros are already using v2 as a default, and the underlying sljit code is the same. Unfortunately we can't just pass a NULL to pcre_jit_exec() as with pcre2_jit_match(). Unlike the v2 function it doesn't support that. Instead we need to use the fatter pcre_exec() if we'd like the same behavior. This will make things slightly slower than on the fast-path function, but it's OK since we care less about v1 performance these days since we have and recommend v2. Running a similar performance test as what I ran in fbaceaac47 ("grep: add support for the PCRE v1 JIT API", 2017-05-25) via: GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=30 GIT_PERF_LARGE_REPO=~/g/linux GIT_PERF_MAKE_OPTS='-j8 USE_LIBPCRE1=Y CFLAGS=-O3 LIBPCREDIR=/home/avar/g/pcre/inst' ./run HEAD~ HEAD p7820-grep-engines.sh Gives us this, just the /perl/ results: Test HEAD~ HEAD --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7820.3: perl grep 'how.to' 0.19(0.67+0.52) 0.19(0.65+0.52) +0.0% 7820.7: perl grep '^how to' 0.19(0.78+0.44) 0.19(0.72+0.49) +0.0% 7820.11: perl grep '[how] to' 0.39(2.13+0.43) 0.40(2.10+0.46) +2.6% 7820.15: perl grep '(e.t[^ ]*|v.ry) rare' 0.44(2.55+0.37) 0.45(2.47+0.41) +2.3% 7820.19: perl grep 'm(ú|u)lt.b(æ|y)te' 0.23(1.06+0.42) 0.22(1.03+0.43) -4.3% It will also implicitly re-enable UTF-8 validation for PCRE v1. As noted in [1] we now have cases as a result where PCRE v1 is more eager to error out. Subsequent patches will fix that for v2, and I think it's fair to tell v1 users "just upgrade" and not worry about that edge case for v1. 1. https://public-inbox.org/git/CAPUEsphZJ_Uv9o1-yDpjNLA_q-f7gWXz9g1gCY2pYAYN8ri40g@mail.gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-07-26grep: stop "using" a custom JIT stack with PCRE v2Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-4/+0
As reported in [1] the code I added in 94da9193a6 ("grep: add support for PCRE v2", 2017-06-01) to use a custom JIT stack has never worked. It was incorrectly copy/pasted from code I added in fbaceaac47 ("grep: add support for the PCRE v1 JIT API", 2017-05-25), which did work. Thus our intention of starting with 1 byte of stack at a maximum of 1 MB didn't happen, we'd always use the 32 KB stack provided by PCRE v2's jit_machine_stack_exec()[2]. The reason I allocated a custom stack at all was this advice in pcrejit(3) (same in pcre2jit(3)): "By default, it uses 32KiB on the machine stack. However, some large or complicated patterns need more than this" Since we've haven't had any reports of users running into PCRE2_ERROR_JIT_STACKLIMIT in the wild I think we can safely assume that we can just use the library defaults instead and drop this code. This won't change with the wider use of PCRE v2 in ed0479ce3d ("Merge branch 'ab/no-kwset' into next", 2019-07-15), a fixed string search is not a "large or complicated pattern". For good measure I ran the performance test noted in 94da9193a6, although the command is simpler now due to my 0f50c8e32c ("Makefile: remove the NO_R_TO_GCC_LINKER flag", 2019-05-17): GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=30 GIT_PERF_LARGE_REPO=~/g/linux GIT_PERF_MAKE_OPTS='-j8 USE_LIBPCRE2=Y CFLAGS=-O3 LIBPCREDIR=/home/avar/g/pcre2/inst' ./run HEAD~ HEAD p7820-grep-engines.sh Just the /perl/ results are: Test HEAD~ HEAD --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7820.3: perl grep 'how.to' 0.17(0.27+0.65) 0.17(0.24+0.68) +0.0% 7820.7: perl grep '^how to' 0.16(0.23+0.66) 0.16(0.23+0.67) +0.0% 7820.11: perl grep '[how] to' 0.18(0.35+0.62) 0.18(0.33+0.65) +0.0% 7820.15: perl grep '(e.t[^ ]*|v.ry) rare' 0.17(0.45+0.54) 0.17(0.49+0.50) +0.0% 7820.19: perl grep 'm(ú|u)lt.b(æ|y)te' 0.16(0.33+0.58) 0.16(0.29+0.62) +0.0% So, as expected there's no change, and running with valgrind reveals that we have fewer allocations now. As noted in [3] there are known regexes that will fail with the lower stack limit, the way GNU grep fixed it is interesting, although I believe the implementation is overly verbose, they could make PCRE v2 handle that gradual re-allocation, that's what min/max memory is for. So we might end up bringing this back, I'm more inclined to just kick such cases upstairs to PCRE maintainers as a bug, perhaps they'll add some overall "just allocate more then" flag to make this easier.

I didn't really intend to start with 1 byte, looking at the PCRE v2 code again what happened is that I cargo-culted some of PCRE v2's own test code which was meant to test re-allocations. It's more sane to start with say 32 KB with a max of 1 MB, as pcre2grep.c does. 3. https://public-inbox.org/git/CAPUEspjj+fG8QDmf=bZXktfpLgkgiu34HTjKLhm-cmEE04FE-A@mail.gmail.com/ Reported-by: Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón <carenas@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-07-01grep: remove the kwset optimizationLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-2/+0
A later change will replace this optimization with optimistic use of PCRE v2. I'm completely removing it as an intermediate step, as opposed to replacing it with PCRE v2, to demonstrate that no grep semantics depend on this (or any other) optimization for the fixed backend anymore. For now this is mostly (but not entirely) a performance regression, as shown by this hacky one-liner: for opt in '' ' -i' do GIT_PERF_7821_GREP_OPTS=$opt GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=10 GIT_PERF_LARGE_REPO=~/g/linux GIT_PERF_MAKE_OPTS='-j8 CFLAGS=-O3 USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease' ./run origin/master HEAD -- p7821-grep-engines-fixed.sh done && for opt in '' ' -i' do GIT_PERF_4221_LOG_OPTS=$opt GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=10 GIT_PERF_LARGE_REPO=~/g/linux GIT_PERF_MAKE_OPTS='-j8 CFLAGS=-O3 USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease' ./run origin/master HEAD -- p4221-log-grep-engines-fixed.sh done Which produces: plain grep: Test origin/master HEAD ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7821.1: fixed grep int 0.55(1.60+0.63) 0.82(3.11+0.51) +49.1% 7821.2: basic grep int 0.62(1.68+0.49) 0.85(3.02+0.52) +37.1% 7821.3: extended grep int 0.61(1.63+0.53) 0.91(3.09+0.44) +49.2% 7821.4: perl grep int 0.55(1.60+0.57) 0.41(0.93+0.57) -25.5% 7821.6: fixed grep uncommon 0.20(0.50+0.44) 0.35(1.27+0.42) +75.0% 7821.7: basic grep uncommon 0.20(0.49+0.45) 0.35(1.29+0.41) +75.0% 7821.8: extended grep uncommon 0.20(0.45+0.48) 0.35(1.25+0.44) +75.0% 7821.9: perl grep uncommon 0.20(0.53+0.41) 0.16(0.24+0.49) -20.0% 7821.11: fixed grep æ 0.35(1.27+0.40) 0.25(0.82+0.39) -28.6% 7821.12: basic grep æ 0.35(1.28+0.38) 0.25(0.75+0.44) -28.6% 7821.13: extended grep æ 0.36(1.21+0.46) 0.25(0.86+0.35) -30.6% 7821.14: perl grep æ 0.35(1.33+0.34) 0.16(0.26+0.47) -54.3% grep with -i: Test origin/master HEAD ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7821.1: fixed grep -i int 0.61(1.84+0.64) 1.11(4.12+0.64) +82.0% 7821.2: basic grep -i int 0.72(1.86+0.57) 1.15(4.48+0.49) +59.7% 7821.3: extended grep -i int 0.94(1.83+0.60) 1.53(4.12+0.58) +62.8% 7821.4: perl grep -i int 0.66(1.82+0.59) 0.55(1.08+0.58) -16.7% 7821.6: fixed grep -i uncommon 0.21(0.51+0.44) 0.44(1.74+0.34) +109.5% 7821.7: basic grep -i uncommon 0.21(0.55+0.41) 0.44(1.72+0.40) +109.5% 7821.8: extended grep -i uncommon 0.21(0.57+0.39) 0.42(1.64+0.45) +100.0% 7821.9: perl grep -i uncommon 0.21(0.48+0.48) 0.17(0.30+0.45) -19.0% 7821.11: fixed grep -i æ 0.25(0.73+0.45) 0.25(0.75+0.45) +0.0% 7821.12: basic grep -i æ 0.25(0.71+0.49) 0.26(0.77+0.44) +4.0% 7821.13: extended grep -i æ 0.25(0.75+0.44) 0.25(0.74+0.46) +0.0% 7821.14: perl grep -i æ 0.17(0.26+0.48) 0.16(0.20+0.52) -5.9% plain log: Test origin/master HEAD --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4221.1: fixed log --grep='int' 7.31(7.06+0.21) 8.11(7.85+0.20) +10.9% 4221.2: basic log --grep='int' 7.30(6.94+0.27) 8.16(7.89+0.19) +11.8% 4221.3: extended log --grep='int' 7.34(7.05+0.21) 8.08(7.76+0.25) +10.1% 4221.4: perl log --grep='int' 7.27(6.94+0.24) 7.05(6.76+0.25) -3.0% 4221.6: fixed log --grep='uncommon' 6.97(6.62+0.32) 7.86(7.51+0.30) +12.8% 4221.7: basic log --grep='uncommon' 7.05(6.69+0.29) 7.89(7.60+0.28) +11.9% 4221.8: extended log --grep='uncommon' 6.89(6.56+0.32) 7.99(7.66+0.24) +16.0% 4221.9: perl log --grep='uncommon' 7.02(6.66+0.33) 6.97(6.54+0.36) -0.7% 4221.11: fixed log --grep='æ' 7.37(7.03+0.33) 7.67(7.30+0.31) +4.1% 4221.12: basic log --grep='æ' 7.41(7.00+0.31) 7.60(7.28+0.26) +2.6% 4221.13: extended log --grep='æ' 7.35(6.96+0.38) 7.73(7.31+0.34) +5.2% 4221.14: perl log --grep='æ' 7.43(7.10+0.32) 6.95(6.61+0.27) -6.5% log with -i: Test origin/master HEAD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4221.1: fixed log -i --grep='int' 7.40(7.05+0.23) 8.66(8.38+0.20) +17.0% 4221.2: basic log -i --grep='int' 7.39(7.09+0.23) 8.67(8.39+0.20) +17.3% 4221.3: extended log -i --grep='int' 7.29(6.99+0.26) 8.69(8.31+0.26) +19.2% 4221.4: perl log -i --grep='int' 7.42(7.16+0.21) 7.14(6.80+0.24) -3.8% 4221.6: fixed log -i --grep='uncommon' 6.94(6.58+0.35) 8.43(8.04+0.30) +21.5% 4221.7: basic log -i --grep='uncommon' 6.95(6.62+0.31) 8.34(7.93+0.32) +20.0% 4221.8: extended log -i --grep='uncommon' 7.06(6.75+0.25) 8.32(7.98+0.31) +17.8% 4221.9: perl log -i --grep='uncommon' 6.96(6.69+0.26) 7.04(6.64+0.32) +1.1% 4221.11: fixed log -i --grep='æ' 7.92(7.55+0.33) 7.86(7.44+0.34) -0.8% 4221.12: basic log -i --grep='æ' 7.88(7.49+0.32) 7.84(7.46+0.34) -0.5% 4221.13: extended log -i --grep='æ' 7.91(7.51+0.32) 7.87(7.48+0.32) -0.5% 4221.14: perl log -i --grep='æ' 7.01(6.59+0.35) 6.99(6.64+0.28) -0.3% Some of those, as noted in [1] are because PCRE is faster at finding fixed strings.

2019-06-28grep: don't use PCRE2?_UTF8 with "log --encoding=<non-utf8>"Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+1
Fix a bug introduced in 18547aacf5 ("grep/pcre: support utf-8", 2016-06-25) that was missed due to a blindspot in our tests, as discussed in the previous commit. I then blindly copied the same bug in 94da9193a6 ("grep: add support for PCRE v2", 2017-06-01) when adding the PCRE v2 code. We should not tell PCRE that we're processing UTF-8 just because we're dealing with non-ASCII. In the case of e.g. "log --encoding=<...>" under is_utf8_locale() the haystack might be in ISO-8859-1, and the needle might be in a non-UTF-8 encoding. Maybe we should be more strict here and die earlier? Should we also be converting the needle to the encoding in question, and failing if it's not a string that's valid in that encoding? Maybe. But for now matching this as non-UTF8 at least has some hope of producing sensible results, since we know that our default heuristic of assuming the text to be matched is in the user locale encoding isn't true when we've explicitly encoded it to be in a different encoding.

2019-05-05*.[ch]: remove extern from function declarations using spatchLibravatar Denton Liu1-11/+11
There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations. Remove some instances of "extern" for function declarations which are caught by Coccinelle. Note that Coccinelle has some difficulty with processing functions with `__attribute__` or varargs so some `extern` declarations are left behind to be dealt with in a future patch. This was the Coccinelle patch used: @@ type T; identifier f; @@ - extern T f(...); and it was run with: $ git ls-files \*.{c,h} | grep -v ^compat/ | xargs spatch --sp-file contrib/coccinelle/noextern.cocci --in-place Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much as possible.

Teach 'git grep --only-matching', a new option to only print the matching part(s) of a line. For instance, a line containing the following (taken from README.md:27): (`man gitcvs-migration` or `git help cvs-migration` if git is Is printed as follows: $ git grep --line-number --column --only-matching -e git -- \ README.md | grep ":27" README.md:27:7:git README.md:27:16:git README.md:27:38:git The patch works mostly as one would expect, with the exception of a few considerations that are worth mentioning here. Like GNU grep, this patch ignores --only-matching when --invert (-v) is given. There is a sensible answer here, but parity with the behavior of other tools is preferred. Because a line might contain more than one match, there are special considerations pertaining to when to print line headers, newlines, and how to increment the match column offset. The line header and newlines are handled as a special case within the main loop to avoid polluting the surrounding code with conditionals that have large blocks.

If you have a pcre1 library which is compiled with JIT enabled then PCRE_STUDY_JIT_COMPILE will be defined whether or not the NO_LIBPCRE1_JIT configuration is set. This means that we enable JIT functionality when calling pcre_study even if NO_LIBPCRE1_JIT has been explicitly set and we just use plain pcre_exec later. Fix this by using own macro (GIT_PCRE_STUDY_JIT_COMPILE) which we set to PCRE_STUDY_JIT_COMPILE only if NO_LIBPCRE1_JIT is not set and define to 0 otherwise, as before.

2017-06-30grep: remove regflags from the public grep_opt APILibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+0
Refactor calls to the grep machinery to always pass opt.ignore_case & opt.extended_regexp_option instead of setting the equivalent regflags bits. The bug fixed when making -i work with -P in commit 9e3cbc59d5 ("log: make --regexp-ignore-case work with --perl-regexp", 2017-05-20) was really just plastering over the code smell which this change fixes. The reason for adding the extensive commentary here is that I discovered some subtle complexity in implementing this that really should be called out explicitly to future readers. Before this change we'd rely on the difference between `extended_regexp_option` and `regflags` to serve as a membrane between our preliminary parsing of grep.extendedRegexp and grep.patternType, and what we decided to do internally. Now that those two are the same thing, it's necessary to unset `extended_regexp_option` just before we commit in cases where both of those config variables are set. See 84befcd0a4 ("grep: add a grep.patternType configuration setting", 2012-08-03) for the code and documentation related to that. The explanation of why the if/else branches in grep_commit_pattern_type() are ordered the way they are exists in that commit message, but I think it's worth calling this subtlety out explicitly with a comment for future readers. Even though grep_commit_pattern_type() is the only caller of grep_set_pattern_type_option() it's simpler to reset the extended_regexp_option flag in the latter, since 2/3 branches in the former would otherwise need to reset it, this way we can do it in one place.

2017-06-02grep: add support for PCRE v2Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+17
Add support for v2 of the PCRE API. This is a new major version of PCRE that came out in early 2015[1]. The regular expression syntax is the same, but while the API is similar, pretty much every function is either renamed or takes different arguments. Thus using it via entirely new functions makes sense, as opposed to trying to e.g. have one compile_pcre_pattern() that would call either PCRE v1 or v2 functions. Git can now be compiled with either USE_LIBPCRE1=YesPlease or USE_LIBPCRE2=YesPlease, with USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease currently being a synonym for the former. Providing both is a compile-time error. With earlier patches to enable JIT for PCRE v1 the performance of the release versions of both libraries is almost exactly the same, with PCRE v2 being around 1% slower. However after I reported this to the pcre-dev mailing list[2] I got a lot of help with the API use from Zoltán Herczeg, he subsequently optimized some of the JIT functionality in v2 of the library. Running the p7820-grep-engines.sh performance test against the latest Subversion trunk of both, with both them and git compiled as -O3, and the test run against linux.git, gives the following results.

A brief note on thread safety: As noted in pcre2api(3) & pcre2jit(3) the compiled pattern can be shared between threads, but not some of the JIT context, however the grep threading support does all pattern & JIT compilation in separate threads, so this code doesn't need to concern itself with thread safety. See commit 63e7e9d8b6 ("git-grep: Learn PCRE", 2011-05-09) for the initial addition of PCRE v1. This change follows some of the same patterns it did (and which were discussed on list at the time), e.g. mocking up types with typedef instead of ifdef-ing them out when USE_LIBPCRE2 isn't defined. This adds some trivial memory use to the program, but makes the code look nicer. 1. https://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20150105.162835.0666407a.en.html 2. https://lists.exim.org/lurker/thread/20170419.172322.833ee099.en.html Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-06-02grep: un-break building with PCRE >= 8.32 without --enable-jitLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+2
Amend my change earlier in this series ("grep: add support for the PCRE v1 JIT API", 2017-04-11) to un-break the build on PCRE v1 versions later than 8.31 compiled without --enable-jit. As explained in that change and a later compatibility change in this series ("grep: un-break building with PCRE < 8.32", 2017-05-10) the pcre_jit_exec() function is a faster path to execute the JIT. Unfortunately there's no compatibility stub for that function compiled into the library if pcre_config(PCRE_CONFIG_JIT, &ret) would return 0, and no macro that can be used to check for it, so the only portable option to support builds without --enable-jit is via a new NO_LIBPCRE1_JIT=UnfortunatelyYes Makefile option[1]. Another option would be to make the JIT opt-in via USE_LIBPCRE1_JIT=YesPlease, after all it's not a default option of PCRE v1. I think it makes more sense to make it opt-out since even though it's not a default option, most packagers of PCRE seem to turn it on by default, with the notable exception of the MinGW package. Make the MinGW platform work by default by changing the build defaults to turn on NO_LIBPCRE1_JIT=UnfortunatelyYes. It is the only platform that turns on USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease by default, see commit df5218b4c3 ("config.mak.uname: support MSys2", 2016-01-13) for that change. 1.

2017-05-26grep: un-break building with PCRE < 8.20Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+3
Amend my change earlier in this series ("grep: add support for the PCRE v1 JIT API", 2017-04-11) to un-break the build on PCRE v1 versions earlier than 8.20. The 8.20 release was the first release to have JIT & pcre_jit_stack in the headers, so a mock type needs to be provided for it on those releases. Now git should compile with all PCRE versions that it supported before my JIT change. I've tested it as far back as version 7.5 released on 2008-01-10, once I got down to version 7.0 it wouldn't build anymore with GCC 7.1.1, and I couldn't be bothered to anything older than 7.5 as I'm confident that if the build breaks on those older versions it's not because of my JIT change. See the "un-break" change in this series ("grep: un-break building with PCRE < 8.32", 2017-05-10) for why this isn't squashed into the main PCRE JIT commit.

2017-05-26grep: un-break building with PCRE < 8.32Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+5
Amend my change earlier in this series ("grep: add support for the PCRE v1 JIT API", 2017-04-11) to un-break the build on PCRE v1 versions earlier than 8.32. The JIT support was added in version 8.20 released on 2011-10-21, but it wasn't until 8.32 released on 2012-11-30 that the fast code path to use the JIT via pcre_jit_exec() was added[1] (see also [2]). This means that versions 8.20 through 8.31 could still use the JIT, but supporting it on those versions would add to the already verbose macro soup around JIT support it, and I don't expect that the use-case of compiling a brand new git against a 5 year old PCRE is particularly common, and if someone does that they can just get the existing pre-JIT slow codepath. So just take the easy way out and disable the JIT on any version older than 8.32. The reason this change isn't part of the initial change PCRE JIT support is to have a cleaner history showing which parts of the implementation are only used for ancient PCRE versions. This also makes it easier to revert this change if we ever decide to stop supporting those old versions. 1. http://www.pcre.org/original/changelog.txt ("28. Introducing a native interface for JIT.

2017-05-26grep: add support for the PCRE v1 JIT APILibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+6
Change the grep PCRE v1 code to use JIT when available. When PCRE support was initially added in commit 63e7e9d8b6 ("git-grep: Learn PCRE", 2011-05-09) PCRE had no JIT support, it was integrated into 8.20 released on 2011-10-21. Enabling JIT support usually improves performance by more than 40%. The pattern compilation times are relatively slower, but those relative numbers are tiny, and are easily made back in all but the most trivial cases of grep. Detailed benchmarks & overview of compilation times is at: http://sljit.sourceforge.net/pcre.html With this change the difference in a t/perf/p7820-grep-engines.sh run is, with just the /perl/ tests shown: $ GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=30 GIT_PERF_LARGE_REPO=~/g/linux GIT_PERF_MAKE_OPTS='-j8 USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease CC=~/perl5/installed/bin/gcc NO_R_TO_GCC_LINKER=YesPlease CFLAGS=-O3 LIBPCREDIR=/home/avar/g/pcre/inst LDFLAGS=-Wl,-rpath,/home/avar/g/pcre/inst/lib' ./run HEAD~ HEAD p7820-grep-engines.sh Test HEAD~ HEAD --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7820.3: perl grep 'how.to' 0.35(1.11+0.43) 0.23(0.42+0.46) -34.3% 7820.7: perl grep '^how to' 0.64(2.71+0.36) 0.27(0.66+0.44) -57.8% 7820.11: perl grep '[how] to' 0.63(2.51+0.42) 0.33(0.98+0.39) -47.6% 7820.15: perl grep '(e.t[^ ]*|v.ry) rare' 1.17(5.61+0.35) 0.34(1.08+0.46) -70.9% 7820.19: perl grep 'm(ú|u)lt.b(æ|y)te' 0.43(1.52+0.44) 0.30(0.88+0.42) -30.2% The conditional support for JIT is implemented as suggested in the pcrejit(3) man page. E.g. defining PCRE_STUDY_JIT_COMPILE to 0 if it's not present. The implementation is relatively verbose because even if PCRE_CONFIG_JIT is defined only a call to pcre_config() can determine if the JIT is available, and if so the faster pcre_jit_exec() function should be called instead of pcre_exec(), and a different (but not complimentary!) function needs to be called to free pcre1_extra_info. There's no graceful fallback if pcre_jit_stack_alloc() fails under PCRE_CONFIG_JIT, instead the program will simply abort. I don't think this is worth handling gracefully, it'll only fail in cases where malloc() doesn't work, in which case we're screwed anyway. That there's no assignment of `p->pcre1_jit_on = 0` when PCRE_CONFIG_JIT isn't defined isn't a bug. The create_grep_pat() function allocates the grep_pat allocates it with calloc(), so it's guaranteed to be 0 when PCRE_CONFIG_JIT isn't defined. I you're bisecting and find this change, check that your PCRE isn't older than 8.32. This change intentionally broke really old versions of PCRE, but that's fixed in follow-up commits.

Change the internal PCRE variable & function names to have a "1" suffix. This is for preparation for libpcre2 support, where having non-versioned names would be confusing.

2017-05-26grep: change the internal PCRE macro names to be PCRE1Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+1
Change the internal USE_LIBPCRE define, & build options flag to use a naming convention ending in PCRE1, without changing the long-standing USE_LIBPCRE Makefile flag which enables this code. This is for preparation for libpcre2 support where having things like USE_LIBPCRE and USE_LIBPCRE2 in any more places than we absolutely need to for backwards compatibility with old Makefile arguments would be confusing. In some ways it would be better to change everything that now uses USE_LIBPCRE to use USE_LIBPCRE1, and to make specifying USE_LIBPCRE (or --with-pcre) an error. This would impose a one-time burden on packagers of git to s/USE_LIBPCRE/USE_LIBPCRE1/ in their build scripts. However I'd like to leave the door open to making USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease eventually mean USE_LIBPCRE2=YesPlease, i.e. once PCRE v2 is ubiquitous enough that it makes sense to make it the default. This code and the USE_LIBPCRE Makefile argument was added in commit 63e7e9d8b6 ("git-grep: Learn PCRE", 2011-05-09). At the time there was no indication that the PCRE project would release an entirely new & incompatible API around 3 years later.

Add `GREP_SOURCE_SUBMODULE` as a grep_source type and cases for this new type in the various switch statements in grep.c. When initializing a grep_source with type `GREP_SOURCE_SUBMODULE` the identifier can either be NULL (to indicate that the working tree will be used) or a SHA1 (the REV of the submodule to be grep'd). If the identifier is a SHA1 then we want to fall through to the `GREP_SOURCE_SHA1` case to handle the copying of the SHA1.
