2017-05-08Convert lookup_commit* to struct object_idLibravatar brian m. carlson1-1/+4
Convert lookup_commit, lookup_commit_or_die, lookup_commit_reference, and lookup_commit_reference_gently to take struct object_id arguments. Introduce a temporary in parse_object buffer in order to convert this function. This is required since in order to convert parse_object and parse_object_buffer, lookup_commit_reference_gently and lookup_commit_or_die would need to be converted. Not introducing a temporary would therefore require that lookup_commit_or_die take a struct object_id *, but lookup_commit would take unsigned char *, leaving a confusing and hard-to-use interface. parse_object_buffer will lose this temporary in a later patch.

2014-10-16make add_object_array_with_context interface more saneLibravatar Jeff King1-14/+9
When you resolve a sha1, you can optionally keep any context found during the resolution, including the path and mode of a tree entry (e.g., when looking up "HEAD:subdir/file.c"). The add_object_array_with_context function lets you then attach that context to an entry in a list. Unfortunately, the interface for doing so is horrible. The object_context structure is large and most object_array users do not use it. Therefore we keep a pointer to the structure to avoid burdening other users too much. But that means when we do use it that we must allocate the struct ourselves. And the struct contains a fixed PATH_MAX-sized buffer, which makes this wholly unsuitable for any large arrays. We can observe that there is only a single user of the "with_context" variant: builtin/grep.c. And in that use case, the only element we care about is the path. We can therefore store only the path as a pointer (the context's mode field was redundant with the object_array_entry itself, and nobody actually cared about the surrounding tree). This still requires a strdup of the pathname, but at least we are only consuming the minimum amount of memory for each string. We can also handle the copying ourselves in add_object_array_*, and free it as appropriate in object_array_release_entry.

2014-07-13object_as_type: set commit indexLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
The point of the "index" field of struct commit is that every allocated commit would have one. It is supposed to be an invariant that whenever object->type is set to OBJ_COMMIT, we have a unique index. Commit 969eba6 (commit: push commit_index update into alloc_commit_node, 2014-06-10) covered this case for newly-allocated commits. However, we may also allocate an "unknown" object via lookup_unknown_object, and only later convert it to a commit. We must make sure that we set the commit index when we switch the type field.

2014-07-13add object_as_type helper for casting objectsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+17
When we call lookup_commit, lookup_tree, etc, the logic goes something like: 1. Look for an existing object struct. If we don't have one, allocate and return a new one. 2. Double check that any object we have is the expected type (and complain and return NULL otherwise). 3. Convert an object with type OBJ_NONE (from a prior call to lookup_unknown_object) to the expected type. We can encapsulate steps 2 and 3 in a helper function which checks whether we have the expected object type, converts OBJ_NONE as appropriate, and returns the object. Not only does this shorten the code, but it also provides one central location for converting OBJ_NONE objects into objects of other types. Future patches will use that to enforce type-specific invariants. Since this is a refactoring, we would want it to behave exactly as the current code. It takes a little reasoning to see that this is the case: - for lookup_{commit,tree,etc} functions, we are just pulling steps 2 and 3 into a function that does the same thing. - for the call in peel_object, we currently only do step 3 (but we want to consolidate it with the others, as mentioned above). However, step 2 is a noop here, as the surrounding conditional makes sure we have OBJ_NONE (which we want to keep to avoid an extraneous call to sha1_object_info). - for the call in lookup_commit_reference_gently, we are currently doing step 2 but not step 3. However, step 3 is a noop here. The object we got will have just come from deref_tag, which must have figured out the type for each object in order to know when to stop peeling. Therefore the type will never be OBJ_NONE. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-07-13move setting of object->type to alloc_* functionsLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+2
The "struct object" type implements basic object polymorphism. Individual instances are allocated as concrete types (or as a union type that can store any object), and a "struct object *" can be cast into its real type after examining its "type" enum. This means it is dangerous to have a type field that does not match the allocation (e.g., setting the type field of a "struct blob" to "OBJ_COMMIT" would mean that a reader might read past the allocated memory). In most of the current code this is not a problem; the first thing we do after allocating an object is usually to set its type field by passing it to create_object. However, the virtual commits we create in merge-recursive.c do not ever get their type set. This does not seem to have caused problems in practice, though (presumably because we always pass around a "struct commit" pointer and never even look at the type). We can fix this oversight and also make it harder for future code to get it wrong by setting the type directly in the object allocation functions. This will also make it easier to fix problems with commit index allocation, as we know that any object allocated by alloc_commit_node will meet the invariant that an object with an OBJ_COMMIT type field will have a unique index number.

2014-06-13commit: record buffer length in cacheLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
Most callsites which use the commit buffer try to use the cached version attached to the commit, rather than re-reading from disk. Unfortunately, that interface provides only a pointer to the NUL-terminated buffer, with no indication of the original length. For the most part, this doesn't matter. People do not put NULs in their commit messages, and the log code is happy to treat it all as a NUL-terminated string. However, some code paths do care. For example, when checking signatures, we want to be very careful that we verify all the bytes to avoid malicious trickery. This patch just adds an optional "size" out-pointer to get_commit_buffer and friends. The existing callers all pass NULL (there did not seem to be any obvious sites where we could avoid an immediate strlen() call, though perhaps with some further refactoring we could).

Some call sites check commit->buffer to see whether we have a cached buffer, and if so, do some work with it.

2013-06-02object_array_entry: fix memory handling of the name fieldLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-3/+23
Previously, the memory management of the object_array_entry::name field was inconsistent and undocumented. object_array_entries are ultimately created by a single function, add_object_array_with_mode(), which has an argument "const char *name". This function used to simply set the name field to reference the string pointed to by the name parameter, and nobody on the object_array side ever freed the memory. Thus, it assumed that the memory for the name field would be managed by the caller, and that the lifetime of that string would be at least as long as the lifetime of the object_array_entry. But callers were inconsistent: * Some passed pointers to constant strings or argv entries, which was OK. * Some passed pointers to newly-allocated memory, but didn't arrange for the memory ever to be freed. * Some passed the return value of sha1_to_hex(), which is a pointer to a statically-allocated buffer that can be overwritten at any time. * Some passed pointers to refnames that they received from a for_each_ref()-type iteration, but the lifetimes of such refnames is not guaranteed by the refs API. Bring consistency to this mess by changing object_array to make its own copy for the object_array_entry::name field and free this memory when an object_array_entry is deleted from the array. Many callers were passing the empty string as the name parameter, so as a performance optimization, treat the empty string specially. Instead of making a copy, store a pointer to a statically-allocated empty string to object_array_entry::name. When deleting such an entry, skip the free(). Change the callers that were already passing copies to add_object_array_with_mode() to either skip the copy, or (if the memory needed to be allocated anyway) freeing the memory itself. A part of this commit effectively reverts 70d26c6e76 read_revisions_from_stdin: make copies for handle_revision_arg because the copying introduced by that commit (which is still necessary) is now done at a deeper level.

2013-05-28object_array_remove_duplicates(): rewrite to reduce copyingLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-11/+21
The old version copied one entry to its destination position, then deleted any matching entries from the tail of the array. This required the tail of the array to be copied multiple times. It didn't affect the complexity of the algorithm because the whole tail has to be searched through anyway. But all the copying was unnecessary. Instead, check for the existence of an entry with the same name in the *head* of the list before copying an entry to its final position. This way each entry has to be copied at most one time.

2013-05-02lookup_object: prioritize recently found objectsLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+12
The lookup_object function is backed by a hash table of all objects we have seen in the program. We manage collisions with a linear walk over the colliding entries, checking each with hashcmp(). The main cost of lookup is in these hashcmp() calls; finding our item in the first slot is cheaper than finding it in the second slot, which is cheaper than the third, and so on. If we assume that there is some locality to the object lookups (e.g., if X and Y collide, and we have just looked up X, the next lookup is more likely to be for X than for Y), then we can improve our average lookup speed by checking X before Y. This patch does so by swapping a found item to the front of the collision chain. The p0001 perf test reveals that this does indeed exploit locality in the case of "rev-list --all --objects": Test origin this tree ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0001.1: rev-list --all 0.40(0.38+0.02) 0.40(0.36+0.03) +0.0% 0001.2: rev-list --all --objects 2.24(2.17+0.05) 1.86(1.79+0.05) -17.0% This is not surprising, as the full object traversal will hit the same tree entries over and over (e.g., for every commit that doesn't change "Documentation/", we will have to look up the same sha1 just to find out that we already processed it). The reason why this technique works (and does not violate any properties of the hash table) is subtle and bears some explanation. Let's imagine we get a lookup for sha1 `X`, and it hashes to bucket `i` in our table. That stretch of the table may look like: index | i-1 | i | i+1 | i+2 | ----------------------------------- entry ... | A | B | C | X | ... ----------------------------------- We start our probe at i, see that B does not match, nor does C, and finally find X. There may be multiple C's in the middle, but we know that there are no empty slots (or else we would not find X at all). We do not know the original index of B; it may be `i`, or it may be less than i (e.g., if it were `i-1`, it would collide with A and spill over into the `i` bucket). So it is acceptable for us to move it to the right of a contiguous stretch of entries (because we will find it from a linear walk starting anywhere at `i` or before), but never to the left (if we moved it to `i-1`, we would miss it when starting our walk at `i`). We do know the original index of X; it is `i`, so it is safe to place it anywhere in the contiguous stretch between `i` and where we found it (`i+2` in the this case). This patch does a pure swap; after finding X in the situation above, we would end with: index | i-1 | i | i+1 | i+2 | ----------------------------------- entry ... | A | X | C | B | ... ----------------------------------- We could instead bump X into the `i` slot, and then shift the whole contiguous chain down by one, resulting in: index | i-1 | i | i+1 | i+2 | ----------------------------------- entry ... | A | X | B | C | ... ----------------------------------- That puts our chain in true most-recently-used order. However, experiments show that it is not any faster (and in fact, is slightly slower due to the extra manipulation).

2013-03-17avoid segfaults on parse_object failureLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+10
Many call-sites of parse_object assume that they will get a non-NULL return value; this is not the case if we encounter an error while parsing the object. This patch adds a wrapper function around parse_object that handles dying automatically, and uses it anywhere we immediately try to access the return value as a non-NULL pointer (i.e., anywhere that we would currently segfault). This wrapper may also be useful in other places. The most obvious one is code like: o = parse_object(sha1); if (!o) die(...); However, these should not be mechanically converted to parse_object_or_die, as the die message is sometimes customized. Later patches can address these sites on a case-by-case basis. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-03-30Teach revision walking machinery to walk multiple times sequenciallyLibravatar Heiko Voigt1-0/+11
Previously it was not possible to iterate revisions twice using the revision walking api. We add a reset_revision_walk() which clears the used flags. This allows us to do multiple sequencial revision walks. We add the appropriate calls to the existing submodule machinery doing revision walks. This is done to avoid surprises if future code wants to call these functions more than once during the processes lifetime.

2012-03-07parse_object: avoid putting whole blob in coreLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+11
Traditionally, all the callers of check_sha1_signature() first called read_sha1_file() to prepare the whole object data in core, and called this function. The function is used to revalidate what we read from the object database actually matches the object name we used to ask for the data from the object database. Update the API to allow callers to pass NULL as the object data, and have the function read and hash the object data using streaming API to recompute the object name, without having to hold everything in core at the same time. This is most useful in parse_object() that parses a blob object, because this caller does not have to keep the actual blob data around in memory after a "struct blob" is returned.

2012-01-05parse_object: try internal cache before reading object dbLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+7
When parse_object is called, we do the following: 1. read the object data into a buffer via read_sha1_file 2. call parse_object_buffer, which then: a. calls the appropriate lookup_{commit,tree,blob,tag} to either create a new "struct object", or to find an existing one. We know the appropriate type from the lookup in step 1. b. calls the appropriate parse_{commit,tree,blob,tag} to parse the buffer for the new (or existing) object In step 2b, all of the called functions are no-ops for object "X" if "X->object.parsed" is set. I.e., when we have already parsed an object, we end up going to a lot of work just to find out at a low level that there is nothing left for us to do (and we throw away the data from read_sha1_file unread). We can optimize this by moving the check for "do we have an in-memory object" from 2a before the expensive call to read_sha1_file in step 1. This might seem circular, since step 2a uses the type information determined in step 1 to call the appropriate lookup function. However, we can notice that all of the lookup_* functions are backed by lookup_object. In other words, all of the objects are kept in a master hash table, and we don't actually need the type to do the "do we have it" part of the lookup, only to do the "and create it if it doesn't exist" part. This can save time whenever we call parse_object on the same sha1 twice in a single program. Some code paths already perform this optimization manually, with either: if (!obj->parsed) obj = parse_object(obj->sha1); if you already have a "struct object", or: struct object *obj = lookup_unknown_object(sha1); if (!obj || !obj->parsed) obj = parse_object(sha1); if you don't. This patch moves the optimization into parse_object itself. Most git operations won't notice any impact. Either they don't parse a lot of duplicate sha1s, or the calling code takes special care not to re-parse objects. I timed two code paths that do benefit (there may be more, but these two were immediately obvious and easy to time). The first is fast-export, which calls parse_object on each object it outputs, like this: object = parse_object(sha1); if (!object) die(...); if (object->flags & SHOWN) return; which means that just to realize we have already shown an object, we will read the whole object from disk! With this patch, my best-of-five time for "fast-export --all" on git.git dropped from 26.3s to 21.3s. The second case is upload-pack, which will call parse_object for each advertised ref (because it needs to peel tags to show "^{}" entries). This doesn't matter for most repositories, because they don't have a lot of refs pointing to the same objects. However, if you have a big alternates repository with a shared object db for a number of child repositories, then the alternates repository will have duplicated refs representing each of its children. For example, GitHub's alternates repository for git.git has ~120,000 refs, of which only ~3200 are unique. The time for upload-pack to print its list of advertised refs dropped from 3.4s to 0.76s.
