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.

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.
Extract a helper function contains_name() to do a bit of the work.

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.

Previously it was not possible to iterate revisions twice using the

used flags. This allows us to do multiple sequencial revision walks.
We add the appropriate calls to the existing submodule machinery doing

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.

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.

parse_object: pass on the original sha1, not the replaced one
|
|
Commit 0e87c36 (object: call "check_sha1_signature" with the
replacement sha1) changed the first argument passed to
parse_object_buffer() from "sha1" to "repl". With that change,
the returned obj pointer has the replacement SHA1 in obj->sha1,
not the original one.
But when using lookup_commit() and then parse_commit() on a
commit, we get an object pointer with the original sha1, but
the commit content comes from the replacement commit.
So the result we get from using parse_object() is different
from the we get from using lookup_commit() followed by
parse_commit().
It looks much simpler and safer to fix this inconsistency by
passing "sha1" to parse_object_bufer() instead of "repl".
The commit comment should be used to tell the the replacement
commit is replacing another commit and why. So it should be
easy to see that we have a replacement commit instead of an
original one.
And it is not a problem if the content of the commit is not
consistent with the sha1 as cat-file piped to hash-object can
be used to see the difference.

When passed an empty list, objects_array_remove_duplicates() corrupts it
by changing the number of entries from 0 to 1.
The problem lies in the condition of its main loop:
for (ref = 0; ref < array->nr - 1; ref++) {
The loop body manipulates the supplied object array. In the case of an
empty array, it should not be doing anything at all. But array->nr is an
unsigned quantity, so the code enters the loop, in particular increasing
array->nr. Fix this by comparing (ref + 1 < array->nr) instead.
This bug can be triggered by git bundle --stdin:
$ echo HEAD | git bundle create some.bundle --stdin’
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
The list of commits to bundle appears to be empty because of another bug:
by the time the revision-walking machinery gets to look at it, standard
input has already been consumed by rev-list, so this function gets an
empty list of revisions.
After this patch, git bundle --stdin still does not work; it just doesn’t
segfault any more.

We used to use a different allocator scheme for when we didn't know the
object type. That meant that objects that were created without any
up-front knowledge of the type would not go through the same allocation
paths as normal object allocations, and would miss out on the statistics.
But perhaps more importantly than the statistics (that are useful when
looking at memory usage but not much else), if we want to make the
object hash tables use a denser object pointer representation, we need
to make sure that they all go through the same blocking allocator.

Looking at the SHA1 validation code due to the corruption that Alexander

places where we read objects, we actually do end up verifying the SHA1 of

This abstracts away the size of the hash values when copying them

of hashcmp abstracted away hash value comparsion.
A few call sites were using char* rather than unsigned char* so
I added the cast rather than open hashcpy to be void*. This is a
reasonable tradeoff as most call sites already use unsigned char*
and the existing hashcmp is also declared to be unsigned char*.

This updates the type-enumeration constants introduced to reduce
the memory footprint of "struct object" to match the type bits
already used in the packfile format, by removing the former
(i.e. TYPE_* constant macros) and using the latter (i.e. enum
object_type) throughout the code for consistency.

This IMNSHO cleans up the object hashing.
The hash expansion is separated out into a function of its own, the hash
array (and size) names are made more obvious, and the code is generally
made to look a bit more like the object-ref hashing.
It also gets rid of "find_object()" returning an index (or negative
position if no object is found), since that is made redundant by the
simplified object rehashing. The basic operation is now "lookup_object()"
which just returns the object itself.
There's an almost unmeasurable speed increase, but more importantly, I
think the end result is more readable.

We've had this notion of a "object_list" for a long time, which eventually
grew a "name" member because some users (notably git-rev-list) wanted to
name each object as it is generated.
That object_list is great for some things, but it isn't all that wonderful
for others, and the "name" member is generally not used by everybody.
This patch splits the users of the object_list array up into two: the
traditional list users, who want the list-like format, and who don't
actually use or want the name. And another class of users that really used
the list as an extensible array, and generally wanted to name the objects.
The patch is fairly straightforward, but it's also biggish. Most of it
really just cleans things up: switching the revision parsing and listing
over to the array makes things like the builtin-diff usage much simpler
(we now see exactly how many members the array has, and we don't get the
objects reversed from the order they were on the command line).
One of the main reasons for doing this at all is that the malloc overhead
of the simple object list was actually pretty high, and the array is just
a lot denser. So this patch brings down memory usage by git-rev-list by
just under 3% (on top of all the other memory use optimizations) on the
mozilla archive.
It does add more lines than it removes, and more importantly, it adds a
whole new infrastructure for maintaining lists of objects, but on the
other hand, the new dynamic array code is pretty obvious. The change to
builtin-diff-tree.c shows a fairly good example of why an array interface
is sometimes more natural, and just much simpler for everybody.

This shrinks "struct object" to the absolutely minimal size possible.
It now contains /only/ the object flags and the SHA1 hash name of the
object.
The "refs" field, which is really needed only for fsck, is maintained in
a separate hashed lookup-table, allowing all normal users to totally
ignore it.
This helps memory usage, although not as much as I hoped: it looks like
the allocation overhead of malloc (and the alignment constraints in
particular) means that while the structure size shrinks, the actual
allocation overhead mostly does not.
[ That said: memory usage is actually down, but not as much as it should
be: I suspect just one of the object types actually ended up shrinking
its effective allocation size.
To get to the next level, we probably need specialized allocators that
don't pad the allocation more than necessary. ]
The separation makes for some code cleanup, though, and makes the ref
tracking that fsck wants a clearly separate thing.

This shrinks "struct object" by a small amount, by getting rid of the
"struct type *" pointer and replacing it with a 3-bit bitfield instead.
In addition, we merge the bitfields and the "flags" field, which
incidentally should also remove a useless 4-byte padding from the object
when in 64-bit mode.
Now, our "struct object" is still too damn large, but it's now less
obviously bloated, and of the remaining fields, only the "util" (which is
not used by most things) is clearly something that should be eventually
discarded.
This shrinks the "git-rev-list --all" memory use by about 2.5% on the
kernel archive (and, perhaps more importantly, on the larger mozilla
archive). That may not sound like much, but I suspect it's more on a
64-bit platform.
There are other remaining inefficiencies (the parent lists, for example,
probably have horrible malloc overhead), but this was pretty obvious.
Most of the patch is just changing the comparison of the "type" pointer
from one of the constant string pointers to the appropriate new TYPE_xxx
small integer constant.

The hashed object lookup had a subtle bug in re-hashing: it did
for (i = 0; i < count; i++)
if (objs[i]) {
.. rehash ..
where "count" was the old hash couny. Oon the face of it is obvious, since
it clearly re-hashes all the old objects.
However, it's wrong.
If the last old hash entry before re-hashing was in use (or became in use
by the re-hashing), then when re-hashing could have inserted an object
into the hash entries with idx >= count due to overflow. When we then
rehash the last old entry, that old entry might become empty, which means
that the overflow entries should be re-hashed again.
In other words, the loop has to be fixed to either traverse the whole
array, rather than just the old count.
(There's room for a slight optimization: instead of counting all the way
up, we can break when we see the first empty slot that is above the old
"count". At that point we know we don't have any collissions that we might
have to fix up any more. This patch only does the trivial fix)
