2017-08-16sha1dc: build git plumbing code more explicitlyLibravatar Takashi Iwai1-5/+1
The plumbing code between sha1dc and git is defined in sha1dc_git.[ch], but these aren't compiled / included directly but only via the indirect inclusion from sha1dc code. This is slightly confusing when you try to trace the build flow. This patch brings the following changes for simplification: - Make sha1dc_git.c stand-alone and build from Makefile - sha1dc_git.h is the common header to include further sha1.h depending on the build condition - Move comments for plumbing codes from the header to definitions This is also meant as a preliminary work for further plumbing with external sha1dc shlib.

2017-07-03sha1dc: optionally use sha1collisiondetection as a submoduleLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+4
Add an option to use the sha1collisiondetection library from the submodule in sha1collisiondetection/ instead of in the copy in the sha1dc/ directory. This allows us to try out the submodule in sha1collisiondetection without breaking the build for anyone who's not expecting them as we work out any kinks.

2017-03-17Makefile: add DC_SHA1 knobLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
This knob lets you use the sha1dc implementation from: https://github.com/cr-marcstevens/sha1collisiondetection which can detect certain types of collision attacks (even when we only see half of the colliding pair). So it mitigates any attack which consists of getting the "good" half of a collision into a trusted repository, and then later replacing it with the "bad" half. The "good" half is rejected by the victim's version of Git (and even if they run an old version of Git, any sha1dc-enabled git will complain loudly if it ever has to interact with the object). The big downside is that it's slower than either the openssl or block-sha1 implementations. Here are some timings based off of linux.git: - compute sha1 over whole packfile sha1dc: 3.580s blk-sha1: 2.046s (-43%) openssl: 1.335s (-62%) - rev-list --all --objects sha1dc: 33.512s blk-sha1: 33.514s (+0.0%) openssl: 33.650s (+0.4%) - git log --no-merges -10000 -p sha1dc: 8.124s blk-sha1: 7.986s (-1.6%) openssl: 8.203s (+0.9%) - index-pack --verify sha1dc: 4m19s blk-sha1: 2m57s (-32%) openssl: 2m19s (-42%) So overall the sha1 computation with collision detection is about 1.75x slower than block-sha1, and 2.7x slower than sha1. But of course most operations do more than just sha1. Normal object access isn't really slowed at all (both the +/- changes there are well within the run-to-run noise); any changes are drowned out by the other work Git is doing. The most-affected operation is `index-pack --verify`, which is essentially just computing the sha1 on every object. This is similar to the `index-pack` invocation that the receiver of a push or fetch would perform. So clearly there's some extra CPU load here. There will also be some latency for the user, though keep in mind that such an operation will generally be network bound (this is about a 1.2GB packfile). Some of that extra CPU is "free" in the sense that we use it while the pack is streaming in anyway. But most of it comes during the delta-resolution phase, after the whole pack has been received. So we can imagine that for this (quite large) push, the user might have to wait an extra 100 seconds over openssl (which is what we use now). If we assume they can push to us at 20Mbit/s, that's 480s for a 1.2GB pack, which is only 20% slower. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-03-15hash.h: move SHA-1 implementation selection into a header fileLibravatar brian m. carlson1-0/+14
Many developers use functionality in their editors that allows for quick syntax checks, including warning about questionable constructs. This functionality allows rapid development with fewer errors. However, such functionality generally does not allow the specification of project-specific defines or command-line options. Since the SHA1_HEADER include is not defined in such a case, developers see spurious errors when using these tools. Furthermore, there are known implementations of "cc" whose '#include' is unhappy with this construct. Instead of using SHA1_HEADER, create a hash.h header and use #if and #elif to select the desired header. Have the Makefile pass an appropriate option to help the header select the right implementation to use. [jc: make BLK_SHA1 the fallback default as discussed on list, e.g. <20170314201424.vccij5z2ortq4a4o@sigill.intra.peff.net>; also remove SHA1_HEADER and SHA1_HEADER_SQ that are no longer used].

2013-03-16Preallocate hash tables when the number of inserts are known in advanceLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+7
This avoids unnecessary re-allocations and reinsertions. On webkit.git (i.e. about 182k inserts to the name hash table), this reduces about 100ms out of 3s user time. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-02-18for_each_hash: allow passing a 'void *data' pointer to callbackLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+1
For the find_exact_renames() function, this allows us to pass the diff_options structure pointer to the low-level routines. We will use that to distinguish between the "rename" and "copy" cases.

2008-03-09Add 'const' where appropriate to index handling functionsLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-2/+2
This is in an effort to make the source index of 'unpack_trees()' as being const, and thus making the compiler help us verify that we only access it for reading. The constification also extended to some of the hashing helpers that get called indirectly.

2007-10-26Do linear-time/space rename logic for exact renamesLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+43
This implements a smarter rename detector for exact renames, which rather than doing a pairwise comparison (time O(m*n)) will just hash the files into a hash-table (size O(n+m)), and only do pairwise comparisons to renames that have the same hash (time O(n+m) except for unrealistic hash collissions, which we just cull aggressively). Admittedly the exact rename case is not nearly as interesting as the generic case, but it's an important case none-the-less. A similar general approach should work for the generic case too, but even then you do need to handle the exact renames/copies separately (to avoid the inevitable added cost factor that comes from the _size_ of the file), so this is worth doing. In the expectation that we will indeed do the same hashing trick for the general rename case, this code uses a generic hash-table implementation that can be used for other things too. In fact, we might be able to consolidate some of our existing hash tables with the new generic code in hash.[ch].
