Tighten code for testing pack-bitmap.
* jk/test-bitmap-fix:
test_bitmap_hashes(): handle repository without bitmaps
|
|
If prepare_bitmap_git() returns NULL (one easy-to-trigger cause being
that the repository does not have bitmaps at all), then we'll segfault
accessing bitmap_git->hashes:
$ t/helper/test-tool bitmap dump-hashes
Segmentation fault
We should treat this the same as a repository with bitmaps but no
name-hashes, and quietly produce an empty output. The later call to
free_bitmap_index() in the cleanup label is OK, as it treats a NULL
pointer as a noop.
This isn't a big deal in practice, as this function is intended for and
used only by test-tool. It's probably worth fixing to avoid confusion,
but not worth adding coverage for this to the test suite.

The function free_bitmap_index() is somewhat lax in what it frees. There
are two notable examples:
- While it does call kh_destroy_oid_map on the "bitmaps" map, which
maps commit OIDs to their corresponding bitmaps, the bitmaps
themselves are not freed. Note here that we recycle already-freed
ewah_bitmaps into a pool, but these are handled correctly by
ewah_pool_free().
- We never bother to free the extended index's "positions" map, which
we always allocate in load_bitmap().
Fix both of these.

test_bitmap_walk() is used to implement `git rev-list --test-bitmap`,
which compares the result of the on-disk bitmaps with ones generated
on-the-fly during a revision walk.
In fa95666a40 (pack-bitmap.c: harden 'test_bitmap_walk()' to check type
bitmaps, 2021-08-24), we hardened those tests to also check the four
special type-level bitmaps, but never freed those bitmaps. We should
have, since each required an allocation when we EWAH-decompressed them.
Free those, plugging that leak, and also free the base (the scratch-pad
bitmap), too.

To ask for the name of a MIDX and its corresponding .rev file, callers
invoke get_midx_filename() and get_midx_rev_filename(), respectively.
These both invoke xstrfmt(), allocating a chunk of memory which must be
freed later on.
This makes callers in pack-bitmap.c somewhat awkward. Specifically,
midx_bitmap_filename(), which is implemented like:
return xstrfmt("%s-%s.bitmap",
get_midx_filename(midx->object_dir),
hash_to_hex(get_midx_checksum(midx)));
this leaks the second argument to xstrfmt(), which itself was allocated
with xstrfmt(). This caller could assign both the result of
get_midx_filename() and the outer xstrfmt() to a temporary variable,
remembering to free() the former before returning. But that involves a
wasteful copy.
Instead, get_midx_filename() and get_midx_rev_filename() take a strbuf
as an output parameter. This way midx_bitmap_filename() can manipulate
and pass around a temporary buffer which it detaches back to its caller.
That allows us to implement the function without copying or open-coding
get_midx_filename() in a way that doesn't leak.
Update the other callers of get_midx_filename() and
get_midx_rev_filename() accordingly.

When repacking into a geometric series and writing a multi-pack bitmap,
it is beneficial to have the largest resulting pack be the preferred
object source in the bitmap's MIDX, since selecting the large packs can
lead to fewer broken delta chains and better compression.
Teach 'git repack' to identify this pack and pass it to the MIDX write
machinery in order to mark it as preferred.

When an old bitmap exists while writing a new one, we load it and build
a "reposition" table which maps bit positions of objects from the old
bitmap to their respective positions in the new bitmap. This can help
when we encounter a commit which was selected in both the old and new
bitmap, since we only need to permute its bit (not recompute it from
scratch).
We do not, however, repurpose existing namehash values in the case of
the hash-cache extension. There has been thus far no good reason to do
so, since all of the namehash values for objects in the new bitmap would
be populated during the traversal that was just performed by
pack-objects when generating single-pack reachability bitmaps.
But this isn't the case for multi-pack bitmaps, which are written via
`git multi-pack-index write --bitmap` and do not perform any traversal.
In this case all namehash values are set to zero, but we don't even
bother to check the `pack.writeBitmapHashcache` option anyway, so it
fails to matter.
There are two approaches we could take to fill in non-zero hash-cache
values:
- have either the multi-pack-index builtin run its own
traversal to attempt to fill in some values, or let a hypothetical
caller (like `pack-objects` when `repack` eventually drives the
`multi-pack-index` builtin) fill in the values they found during
their traversal
- or copy any existing namehash values that were stored in an
existing bitmap to their corresponding positions in the new bitmap
In a system where a repository is generally repacked with `git repack
--geometric=<d>` and occasionally repacked with `git repack -a`, the
hash-cache coverage will tend towards all objects.
Since populating the hash-cache is additive (i.e., doing so only helps
our delta search), any intermediate lack of full coverage is just fine.
So let's start by just propagating any values from the existing
hash-cache if we see one.
The next patch will respect the `pack.writeBitmapHashcache` option while
writing MIDX bitmaps, and then test this new behavior.

Starting in commit 0f533c7284 (pack-bitmap: read multi-pack bitmaps,
2021-08-31), we no longer look at the "struct bitmap_index" passed to
try_partial_reuse(). This is because we only handle verbatim reuse from
a single pack: either the pack whose bitmap we're looking at, or the
"preferred" pack of a midx bitmap. And thus the primary item we look at
is the "pack" parameter added by that same commit, and not the
bitmap_git->pack parameter (which would be NULL for a midx bitmap). It's
our caller, reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap(), which decides which
pack to use and passes it in to us.
Drop the unused parameter to prevent confusion.

This prepares the code in pack-bitmap to interpret the new multi-pack
bitmaps described in Documentation/technical/bitmap-format.txt, which
mostly involves converting bit positions to accommodate looking them up
in a MIDX.
Note that there are currently no writers who write multi-pack bitmaps,
and that this will be implemented in the subsequent commit. Note also
that get_midx_checksum() and get_midx_filename() are made non-static so
they can be called from pack-bitmap.c.

try_partial_reuse() is used to mark any bits in the beginning of a
bitmap whose objects can be reused verbatim from the pack they came
from.
Currently this function returns void, and signals nothing to the caller
when bits could not be reused. But multi-pack bitmaps would benefit from
having such a signal, because they may try to pass objects which are in
bounds, but from a pack other than the preferred one.
Any extra calls are noops because of a conditional in
reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap(), but those loop iterations can be
avoided by letting try_partial_reuse() indicate when it can't accept any
more bits for reuse, and then listening to that signal.

multi-pack bitmap code to respect this configuration, too.
The yet-to-be implemented code will find that it is more efficient to

set of values rather than doing an additional traversal.
Implement a function 'bitmap_is_preferred_refname()' which will perform

The special `--test-bitmap` mode of `git rev-list` is used to compare
the result of an object traversal with a bitmap to check its integrity.
This mode does not, however, assert that the types of reachable objects
are stored correctly.
Harden this mode by teaching it to also check that each time an object's
bit is marked, the corresponding bit should be set in exactly one of the
type bitmaps (whose type matches the object's true type).

A race between repacking and using pack bitmaps has been corrected.

In-code comment update.
* tb/bitmap-type-filter-comment-fix:

When pack-objects adds an entry to its list of objects to pack, it may
mark the packfile and offset that contains the file, which we can later
use to output the object verbatim. If the packfile is deleted while we
are running (e.g., by another process running "git repack"), we may die
in use_pack() if the pack file cannot be opened.
We worked around this in 4c08018204 (pack-objects: protect against
disappearing packs, 2011-10-14) by making sure we can open the pack
before recording it as a source. This detects a pack which has already
disappeared while generating the packing list, and because we keep the
pack's file descriptor (or an mmap window) open, it means we can access
it later (unless you exceed core.packedgitlimit).
The bitmap code that was added later does not do this; it adds entries
to the packlist without checking that the packfile is still valid, and
is vulnerable to this race. It needs the same treatment as 4c08018204.
However, rather than add it in just that one spot, it makes more sense
to simply open and check the packfile when we open the bitmap.
Technically you can use the .bitmap without even looking in the .pack
file (e.g., if you are just printing a list of objects without accessing
them), but it's much simpler to do it early. That covers all later
direct uses of the pack (due to the cached descriptor) without having to
check each one directly. For example, in pack-objects we need to protect
the packlist entries, but we also access the pack directly as part of
the reuse_partial_pack_from_bitmap() feature. This patch covers both
cases.
There's no test here, because the problem is inherently racy. I
reproduced and verified the fix with this script:
rm -rf parent.git push.git fetch.git
push() {
(
cd push.git &&
echo content >>file &&
git add file &&
git commit -qm "change $1" &&
git push -q origin HEAD &&
echo "push $1..."
) &&
(
cd parent.git &&
git repack -ad -q &&
echo "repack $1..."
)
}
fetch() {
rm -rf fetch.git &&
git clone -q file://$PWD/parent.git fetch.git &&
echo "fetch $1..."
}
git init --bare parent.git &&
git --git-dir=parent.git config transfer.unpacklimit 1 &&
git clone parent.git push.git &&
(for i in `seq 1 1000`; do push $i || break; done) &
pusher=$!
(for i in `seq 1 1000`; do fetch $i || break; done) &
fetcher=$!
wait $fetcher
kill $pusher
That simulates a race between a client cloning and a push triggering a
repack on the server. Without this patch, it generally fails within a
couple hundred iterations with:
remote: fatal: packfile ./objects/pack/.tmp-1377349-pack-498afdec371232bdb99d1757872f5569331da61e.pack cannot be accessed
error: git upload-pack: git-pack-objects died with error.
fatal: git upload-pack: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side.
remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side.
fatal: early EOF

With this patch, it reliably runs through all thousand attempts.

In 856e12c18a (pack-bitmap.c: make object filtering functions generic,

comments were updated to be agnostic to the provided type.

If an object is already mentioned in a reachability bitmap we are
building, then by definition so are all of the objects it can reach. We
have an optimization to stop traversing commits when we see they are
already in the bitmap, but we don't do the same for trees.
It's generally unavoidable to recurse into trees for commits not yet
covered by bitmaps (since most commits generally do have unique
top-level trees). But they usually have subtrees that are shared with
other commits (i.e., all of the subtrees the commit _didn't_ touch). And
some of those commits (and their trees) may be covered by the bitmap.
Usually this isn't _too_ big a deal, because we'll visit those subtrees
only once in total for the whole walk. But if you have a large number of
unbitmapped commits, and if your tree is big, then you may end up
opening a lot of sub-trees for no good reason.
We can use the same optimization we do for commits here: when we are
about to open a tree, see if it's in the bitmap (either the one we are
building, or the "seen" bitmap which covers the UNINTERESTING side of
the bitmap when doing a set-difference).
This works especially well because we'll visit all commits before
hitting any trees. So even in a history like:
A -- B
if "A" has a bitmap on disk but "B" doesn't, we'll already have OR-ed in
the results from A before looking at B's tree (so we really will only
look at trees touched by B).
For most repositories, the timings produced by p5310 are unspectacular.
Here's linux.git:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
--------------------------------------------------------------------
5310.4: simulated clone 6.00(5.90+0.10) 5.98(5.90+0.08) -0.3%
5310.5: simulated fetch 2.98(5.45+0.18) 2.85(5.31+0.18) -4.4%
5310.7: rev-list (commits) 0.32(0.29+0.03) 0.33(0.30+0.03) +3.1%
5310.8: rev-list (objects) 1.48(1.44+0.03) 1.49(1.44+0.05) +0.7%
Any improvement there is within the noise (the +3.1% on test 7 has to be
noise, since we are not recursing into trees, and thus the new code
isn't even run). The results for git.git are likewise uninteresting.
But here are numbers from some other real-world repositories (that are
not public). This one's tree is comparable in size to linux.git, but has
~16k refs (and so less complete bitmap coverage):
Test HEAD^ HEAD
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
5310.4: simulated clone 38.34(39.86+0.74) 33.95(35.53+0.76) -11.5%
5310.5: simulated fetch 2.29(6.31+0.35) 2.20(5.97+0.41) -3.9%
5310.7: rev-list (commits) 0.99(0.86+0.13) 0.96(0.85+0.11) -3.0%
5310.8: rev-list (objects) 11.32(11.04+0.27) 6.59(6.37+0.21) -41.8%
And here's another with a very large tree (~340k entries), and a fairly
large number of refs (~10k):
Test HEAD^ HEAD
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
5310.3: simulated clone 53.83(54.71+1.54) 39.77(40.76+1.50) -26.1%
5310.4: simulated fetch 19.91(20.11+0.56) 19.79(19.98+0.67) -0.6%
5310.6: rev-list (commits) 0.54(0.44+0.11) 0.51(0.43+0.07) -5.6%
5310.7: rev-list (objects) 24.32(23.59+0.73) 9.85(9.49+0.36) -59.5%
This patch provides substantial improvements in these larger cases, and
have any drawbacks for smaller ones (the cost of the bitmap check is
quite small compared to an actual tree traversal).
Note that we have to add a version of revision.c's include_check
callback which handles non-commits. We could possibly consolidate this
into a single callback for all objects types, as there's only one user
of the feature which would need converted (pack-bitmap.c:should_include).
That would in theory let us avoid duplicating any logic. But when I
tried it, the code ended up much worse to read, with lots of repeated
"if it's a commit do this, otherwise do that". Having two separate
callbacks splits that naturally, and matches the existing split of
show_commit/show_object callbacks.

When a bitmap walk has to traverse (to fill in non-bitmapped objects),
we use rev_info's include_check mechanism to let us stop the traversal
early. But after setting the function and its data parameter, we never
clean it up. This means that if the rev_info is used for a subsequent
traversal without bitmaps, it will unexpectedly call into our
include_check function (worse, it will do so pointing to a now-defunct
stack variable in include_check_data, likely resulting in a segfault).
There's no code which does this now, but it's an accident waiting to
happen. Let's clean up after ourselves in the bitmap code.

When providing an object filter, it is currently impossible to also
filter provided items. E.g. when executing `git rev-list HEAD` , the
commit this reference points to will be treated as user-provided and is
thus excluded from the filtering mechanism. This makes it harder than
necessary to properly use the new `--filter=object:type` filter given
that even if the user wants to only see blobs, he'll still see commits
of provided references.
Improve this by introducing a new `--filter-provided-objects` option
to the git-rev-parse(1) command. If given, then all user-provided
references will be subject to filtering.

When writing a new pack with a bitmap, it is sometimes convenient to
indicate some reference prefixes which should receive priority when
selecting which commits to receive bitmaps.
A truly motivated caller could accomplish this by setting
'pack.islandCore', (since all commits in the core island are similarly
marked as preferred) but this requires callers to opt into using delta
islands, which they may or may not want to do.
Introduce a new multi-valued configuration, 'pack.preferBitmapTips' to
allow callers to specify a list of reference prefixes. All references
which have a prefix contained in 'pack.preferBitmapTips' will mark their
tips as "preferred" in the same way as commits are marked as preferred
for selection by 'pack.islandCore'.
The choice of the verb "prefer" is intentional: marking the NEEDS_BITMAP
flag on an object does *not* guarantee that that object will receive a
bitmap. It merely guarantees that that commit will receive a bitmap over
any *other* commit in the same window by bitmap_writer_select_commits().
The test this patch adds reflects this quirk, too. It only tests that
a commit (which didn't receive bitmaps by default) is selected for
bitmaps after changing the value of 'pack.preferBitmapTips' to include
it. Other commits may lose their bitmaps as a byproduct of how the
selection process works (bitmap_writer_select_commits() ignores the
remainder of a window after seeing a commit with the NEEDS_BITMAP flag).
This configuration will aide in selecting important references for
multi-pack bitmaps, since they do not respect the same pack.islandCore
configuration. (They could, but doing so may be confusing, since it is
packs--not bitmaps--which are influenced by the delta-islands
configuration).
In a fork network repository (one which lists all forks of a given
repository as remotes), for example, it is useful to set
pack.preferBitmapTips to 'refs/remotes/<root>/heads' and
'refs/remotes/<root>/tags', where '<root>' is an opaque identifier
referring to the repository which is at the base of the fork chain.

The next patch will add a 'bitmap' test-tool which prints the list of

The test helper could implement this itself, but it would need access to
the 'bitmaps' field of the 'pack_bitmap' struct. To avoid exposing this
private detail, implement the entirety of the helper behind a

There is some precedence for this with test_bitmap_walk() which is used

When preparing the bitmap walk, we first establish the set of of have
and want objects by iterating over the set of pending objects: if an
object is marked as uninteresting, it's declared as an object we already
have, otherwise as an object we want. These two sets are then used to
compute which transitively referenced objects we need to obtain.
One special case here are tag objects: when a tag is requested, we
resolve it to its first not-tag object and add both resolved objects as
well as the tag itself into either the have or want set. Given that the
uninteresting-property always propagates to referenced objects, it is
clear that if the tag is uninteresting, so are its children and vice
versa. But we fail to propagate the flag, which effectively means that
referenced objects will always be interesting except for the case where
they have already been marked as uninteresting explicitly.
This mislabeling does not impact correctness: we now have it in our
"wants" set, and given that we later do an `AND NOT` of the bitmaps of
"wants" and "haves" sets it is clear that the result must be the same.
But we now start to needlessly traverse the tag's referenced objects in
case it is uninteresting, even though we know that each referenced
object will be uninteresting anyway. In the worst case, this can lead to
a complete graph walk just to establish that we do not care for any
object.
Fix the issue by propagating the `UNINTERESTING` flag to pointees of tag
objects and add a benchmark with negative revisions to p5310. This shows
some nice performance benefits, tested with linux.git:

It can sometimes be useful to see which refs are contributing to the
overall repository size (e.g., does some branch have a bunch of objects
not found elsewhere in history, which indicates that deleting it would
shrink the size of a clone).
You can find that out by generating a list of objects, getting their
sizes from cat-file, and then summing them, like:
git rev-list --objects --no-object-names main..branch
git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectsize:disk)' |
perl -lne '$total += $_; END { print $total }'
Though note that the caveats from git-cat-file(1) apply here. We "blame"
base objects more than their deltas, even though the relationship could
easily be flipped. Still, it can be a useful rough measure.
But one problem is that it's slow to run. Teaching rev-list to sum up
the sizes can be much faster for two reasons:
1. It skips all of the piping of object names and sizes.
2. If bitmaps are in use, for objects that are in the
bitmapped packfile we can skip the oid_object_info()
lookup entirely, and just ask the revindex for the
on-disk size.
This patch implements a --disk-usage option which produces the same
answer in a fraction of the time. Here are some timings using a clone of
torvalds/linux:
[rev-list piped to cat-file, no bitmaps]
$ time git rev-list --objects --no-object-names --all |
git cat-file --buffer --batch-check='%(objectsize:disk)' |
perl -lne '$total += $_; END { print $total }'
1459938510
real 0m29.635s
user 0m38.003s
sys 0m1.093s
[internal, no bitmaps]
$ time git rev-list --disk-usage --objects --all
1459938510
real 0m31.262s
user 0m30.885s
sys 0m0.376s
Even though the wall-clock time is slightly worse due to parallelism,
notice the CPU savings between the two. We saved 21% of the CPU just by
avoiding the pipes.
But the real win is with bitmaps. If we use them without the new option:
[rev-list piped to cat-file, bitmaps]
$ time git rev-list --objects --no-object-names --all --use-bitmap-index |
git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectsize:disk)' |
perl -lne '$total += $_; END { print $total }'
1459938510
real 0m6.244s
user 0m8.452s
sys 0m0.311s
then we're faster to generate the list of objects, but we still spend a
lot of time piping and looking things up. But if we do both together:
[internal, bitmaps]
$ time git rev-list --disk-usage --objects --all --use-bitmap-index
1459938510
real 0m0.219s
user 0m0.169s
sys 0m0.049s
then we get the same answer much faster.
For "--all", that answer will correspond closely to "du objects/pack",
of course. But we're actually checking reachability here, so we're still
fast when we ask for more interesting things:
$ time git rev-list --disk-usage --use-bitmap-index v5.0..v5.10
374798628
real 0m0.429s
user 0m0.356s

index position of the object at position 'pos').
Note that we cannot just use the existing "offset" variable to store the
value we get from pack_pos_to_offset(). It is incremented by
unpack_object_header(), but we later need the original value. Since
we'll no longer have revindex->offset to read it from, we'll store that
in a separate variable ("header" since it points to the entry's header
bytes).

The on-disk bitmap format has a flag to mark a bitmap to be "reused".
This is a rather curious feature, and works like this:
- a run of pack-objects would decide to mark the last 80% of the
bitmaps it generates with the reuse flag
- the next time we generate bitmaps, we'd see those reuse flags from
the last run, and mark those commits as special:
- we'd be more likely to select those commits to get bitmaps in
the new output
- when generating the bitmap for a selected commit, we'd reuse the
old bitmap as-is (rearranging the bits to match the new pack, of
course)
However, neither of these behaviors particularly makes sense.
Just because a commit happened to be bitmapped last time does not make
it a good candidate for having a bitmap this time. In particular, we may
choose bitmaps based on how recent they are in history, or whether a ref
tip points to them, and those things will change. We're better off
re-considering fresh which commits are good candidates.
Reusing the existing bitmap _is_ a reasonable thing to do to save
computation. But only reusing exact bitmaps is a weak form of this. If
we have an old bitmap for A and now want a new bitmap for its child, we
should be able to compute that only by looking at trees and that are new
to the child. But this code would consider only exact reuse (which is
perhaps why it was eager to select those commits in the first place).
Furthermore, the recent switch to the reverse-edge algorithm for
generating bitmaps dropped this optimization entirely (and yet still
performs better).
So let's do a few cleanups:
- drop the whole "reusing bitmaps" phase of generating bitmaps. It's
not helping anything, and is mostly unused code (or worse, code that
is using CPU but not doing anything useful)
- drop the use of the on-disk reuse flag to select commits to bitmap
- stop setting the on-disk reuse flag in bitmaps we generate (since
nothing respects it anymore)
We will keep a few innards of the reuse code, which will help us
implement a more capable version of the "reuse" optimization:
- simplify rebuild_existing_bitmaps() into a function that only builds
the mapping of bits between the old and new orders, but doesn't
actually convert any bitmaps
- make rebuild_bitmap() public; we'll call it lazily to convert bitmaps
as we traverse (using the mapping created above)

Before 'load_bitmap_entries_v1()' reads an actual EWAH bitmap, it should
check that it can safely do so by ensuring that there are at least 6
bytes available to be read (four for the commit's index position, and
then two more for the xor offset and flags, respectively).
Likewise, it should check that the commit index it read refers to a
legitimate object in the pack.
The first fix catches a truncation bug that was exposed when testing,
and the second is purely precautionary.
There are some possible future improvements, not pursued here. They are:
- Computing the correct boundary of the bitmap itself in the caller
and ensuring that we don't read past it. This may or may not be
worth it, since in a truncation situation, all bets are off: (is the
trailer still there and the bitmap entries malformed, or is the
trailer truncated?). The best we can do is try to read what's there
as if it's correct data (and protect ourselves when it's obviously
bogus).
- Avoid the magic "6" by teaching read_be32() and read_u8() (both of
which are custom helpers for this function) to check sizes before
advancing the pointers.
- Adding more tests in this area. Testing these truncation situations
are remarkably fragile to even subtle changes in the bitmap
generation. So, the resulting tests are likely to be quite brittle.

You can use "git rev-list --test-bitmap HEAD" to check that bitmaps
produce the same answer we'd get from a regular traversal. But if we
detect an error, we only print "mismatch", and still exit with a
successful error code.
That makes the uses of --test-bitmap in the test suite (e.g., in t5310)
mostly pointless: even if we saw an error, the tests wouldn't notice.
Let's instead call die(), which will let these tests work as designed,
and alert us if the bitmaps are bogus.

A .bitmap file may have a "name hash cache" extension, which puts a
sequence of uint32_t values (one per object) at the end of the file.
When we see a flag indicating this extension, we blindly subtract the
appropriate number of bytes from our available length. However, if the
.bitmap file is too short, we'll underflow our length variable and wrap
around, thinking we have a very large length. This can lead to reading
out-of-bounds bytes while loading individual ewah bitmaps.
We can fix this by checking the number of available bytes when we parse
the header. The existing "truncated bitmap" test is now split into two
tests: one where we don't have this extension at all (and hence actually
do try to read a truncated ewah bitmap) and one where we realize
up-front that we can't even fit in the cache structure. We'll check
stderr in each case to make sure we hit the error we're expecting.

When we parse a .bitmap header, we first check that we have enough bytes
to make a valid header. We do that based on sizeof(struct
bitmap_disk_header). However, as of 0f4d6cada8 (pack-bitmap: make bitmap
header handling hash agnostic, 2019-02-19), that struct oversizes its
checksum member to GIT_MAX_RAWSZ. That means we need to adjust for the
difference between that constant and the size of the actual hash we're
using. That commit adjusted the code which moves our pointer forward,
but forgot to update the size check.
This meant we were overly strict about the header size (requiring room
for a 32-byte worst-case hash, when sha1 is only 20 bytes). But in
practice it didn't matter because bitmap files tend to have at least 12
bytes of actual data anyway, so it was unlikely for a valid file to be
caught by this.
Let's fix it by pulling the header size into a separate variable and
using it in both spots. That fixes the bug and simplifies the code to make
it harder to have a mismatch like this in the future. It will also come
in handy in the next patch for more bounds checking.

Sometimes a bitmap traversal still has to walk some commits manually,
because those commits aren't included in the bitmap packfile (e.g., due
to a push or commit since the last full repack). If we're given an
object filter, we don't pass it down to this traversal. It's not
necessary for correctness because the bitmap code has its own filters to
post-process the bitmap result (which it must, to filter out the objects
that _are_ mentioned in the bitmapped packfile).
And with blob filters, there was no performance reason to pass along
those filters, either. The fill-in traversal could omit them from the
result, but it wouldn't save us any time to do so, since we'd still have
to walk each tree entry to see if it's a blob or not.
But now that we support tree filters, there's opportunity for savings. A
tree:depth=0 filter means we can avoid accessing trees entirely, since
we know we won't them (or any of the subtrees or blobs they point to).
The new test in p5310 shows this off (the "partial bitmap" state is one
where HEAD~100 and its ancestors are all in a bitmapped pack, but
HEAD~100..HEAD are not). Here are the results (run against linux.git):
Test HEAD^ HEAD
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
5310.16: rev-list with tree filter (partial bitmap) 0.19(0.17+0.02) 0.03(0.02+0.01) -84.2%
The absolute number of savings isn't _huge_, but keep in mind that we
only omitted 100 first-parent links (in the version of linux.git here,
that's 894 actual commits). In a more pathological case, we might have a
much larger proportion of non-bitmapped commits. I didn't bother
creating such a case in the perf script because the setup is expensive,
and this is plenty to show the savings as a percentage.

In the previous patch, we made it easy to define other filters that
exclude all objects of a certain type. Use that in order to implement
bitmap-level filtering for the '--filter=tree:<n>' filter when 'n' is
equal to 0.
The general case is not helped by bitmaps, since for values of 'n > 0',
the object filtering machinery requires a full-blown tree traversal in
order to determine the depth of a given tree. Caching this is
non-obvious, too, since the same tree object can have a different depth
depending on the context (e.g., a tree was moved up in the directory
hierarchy between two commits).
But, the 'n = 0' case can be helped, and this patch does so. Running
p5310.11 in this tree and on master with the kernel, we can see that
this case is helped substantially:

In 4f3bd5606a (pack-bitmap: implement BLOB_NONE filtering, 2020-02-14),
filtering support for bitmaps was added for the 'LOFC_BLOB_NONE' filter.
In the future, we would like to add support for filters that behave as
if they exclude a certain type of object, for e.g., the tree depth
filter with depth 0.
To prepare for this, make some of the functions used for filtering more
generic, such as 'find_tip_blobs' and 'filter_bitmap_blob_none' so that
they can work over arbitrary object types.
To that end, create 'find_tip_objects' and
'filter_bitmap_exclude_type', and redefine the aforementioned functions
in terms of those.
