2011-10-26read-cache.c: fix index memory allocationLibravatar René Scharfe1-3/+3
estimate_cache_size() tries to guess how much memory is needed for the in-memory representation of an index file. It does that by using the file size, the number of entries and the difference of the sizes of the on-disk and in-memory structs -- without having to check the length of the name of each entry, which varies for each entry, but their sums are the same no matter the representation. Except there can be a difference. First of all, the size is really calculated by ce_size and ondisk_ce_size based on offsetof(..., name), not sizeof, which can be different. And entries are padded with 1 to 8 NULs at the end (after the variable name) to make their total length a multiple of eight. So in order to allocate enough memory to hold the index, change the delta calculation to be based on offsetof(..., name) and round up to the next multiple of eight. On a 32-bit Linux, this delta was used before: sizeof(struct cache_entry) == 72 sizeof(struct ondisk_cache_entry) == 64 --- 8 The actual difference for an entry with a filename length of one was, however (find the definitions are in cache.h): offsetof(struct cache_entry, name) == 72 offsetof(struct ondisk_cache_entry, name) == 62 ce_size == (72 + 1 + 8) & ~7 == 80 ondisk_ce_size == (62 + 1 + 8) & ~7 == 64 --- 16 So eight bytes less had been allocated for such entries. The new formula yields the correct delta: (72 - 62 + 7) & ~7 == 16 Reported-by: John Hsing <tsyj2007@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-03-21update $GIT_INDEX_FILE when there are racily clean entriesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+14
Traditional "opportunistic index update" done by read-only "diff" and "status" was about updating cached lstat(2) information in the index for the next round. We missed another obvious optimization opportunity: when there are racily clean entries that will cease to be racily clean by updating $GIT_INDEX_FILE. Detect that case and write $GIT_INDEX_FILE out to give it a newer timestamp. Noticed by Lasse Makholm by stracing "git status" in a fresh checkout and counting the number of open(2) calls.

2010-10-06Support case folding for git add when core.ignorecase=trueLibravatar Joshua Jensen1-0/+23
When MyDir/ABC/filea.txt is added to Git, the disk directory MyDir/ABC/ is renamed to mydir/aBc/, and then mydir/aBc/fileb.txt is added, the index will contain MyDir/ABC/filea.txt and mydir/aBc/fileb.txt. Although the earlier portions of this patch series account for those differences in case, this patch makes the pathing consistent by folding the case of newly added files against the first file added with that path. In read-cache.c's add_to_index(), the index_name_exists() support used for git status's case insensitive directory lookups is used to find the proper directory case according to what the user already checked in. That is, MyDir/ABC/'s case is used to alter the stored path for fileb.txt to MyDir/ABC/fileb.txt (instead of mydir/aBc/fileb.txt). This is especially important when cloning a repository to a case sensitive file system. MyDir/ABC/ and mydir/aBc/ exist in the same directory on a Windows machine, but on Linux, the files exist in two separate directories. The update to add_to_index(), in effect, treats a Windows file system as case sensitive by making path case consistent.

2010-01-24Make ce_uptodate() trustworthy againLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+4
The rule has always been that a cache entry that is ce_uptodate(ce) means that we already have checked the work tree entity and we know there is no change in the work tree compared to the index, and nobody should have to double check. Note that false ce_uptodate(ce) does not mean it is known to be dirty---it only means we don't know if it is clean. There are a few codepaths (refresh-index and preload-index are among them) that mark a cache entry as up-to-date based solely on the return value from ie_match_stat(); this function uses lstat() to see if the work tree entity has been touched, and for a submodule entry, if its HEAD points at the same commit as the commit recorded in the index of the superproject (a submodule that is not even cloned is considered clean). A submodule is no longer considered unmodified merely because its HEAD matches the index of the superproject these days, in order to prevent people from forgetting to commit in the submodule and updating the superproject index with the new submodule commit, before commiting the state in the superproject. However, the patch to do so didn't update the codepath that marks cache entries up-to-date based on the updated definition and instead worked it around by saying "we don't trust the return value of ce_uptodate() for submodules." This makes ce_uptodate() trustworthy again by not marking submodule entries up-to-date. The next step _could_ be to introduce a few "in-core" flag bits to cache_entry structure to record "this entry is _known_ to be dirty", call is_submodule_modified() from ie_match_stat(), and use these new bits to avoid running this rather expensive check more than once, but that can be a separate patch.

2010-01-21Remove diff machinery dependency from read-cacheLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-78/+0
Exal Sibeaz pointed out that some git files are way too big, and that add_files_to_cache() brings in all the diff machinery to any git binary that needs the basic git SHA1 object operations from read-cache.c. Which is pretty much all of them. It's doubly silly, since add_files_to_cache() is only used by builtin programs (add, checkout and commit), so it's fairly easily fixed by just moving the thing to builtin-add.c, and avoiding the dependency entirely. I initially argued to Exal that it would probably be best to try to depend on smart compilers and linkers, but after spending some time trying to make -ffunction-sections work and giving up, I think Exal was right, and the fix is to just do some trivial cleanups like this. This trivial cleanup results in pretty stunning file size differences. The diff machinery really is mostly used by just the builtin programs, and you have things like these trivial before-and-after numbers: -rwxr-xr-x 1 torvalds torvalds 1727420 2010-01-21 10:53 git-hash-object -rwxrwxr-x 1 torvalds torvalds 940265 2010-01-21 11:16 git-hash-object Now, I'm not saying that 940kB is good either, but that's mostly all the debug information - you can see the real code with 'size': text data bss dec hex filename 418675 3920 127408 550003 86473 git-hash-object (before) 230650 2288 111728 344666 5425a git-hash-object (after) ie we have a nice 24% size reduction from this trivial cleanup. It's not just that one file either. I get: [torvalds@nehalem git]$ du -s /home/torvalds/libexec/git-core 45640 /home/torvalds/libexec/git-core (before) 33508 /home/torvalds/libexec/git-core (after) so we're talking 12MB of diskspace here. (Of course, stripping all the binaries brings the 33MB down to 9MB, so the whole debug information thing is still the bulk of it all, but that's a separate issue entirely) Now, I'm sure there are other things we should do, and changing our compiler flags from -O2 to -Os would bring the text size down by an additional almost 20%, but this thing Exal pointed out seems to be some good low-hanging fruit.

2010-01-03"reset --merge": fix unmerged caseLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+1
Commit 9e8ecea (Add 'merge' mode to 'git reset', 2008-12-01) disallowed "git reset --merge" when there was unmerged entries. But it wished if unmerged entries were reset as if --hard (instead of --merge) has been used. This makes sense because all "mergy" operations makes sure that any path involved in the merge does not have local modifications before starting, so resetting such a path away won't lose any information. The previous commit changed the behavior of --merge to accept resetting unmerged entries if they are reset to a different state than HEAD, but it did not reset the changes in the work tree, leaving the conflict markers in the resulting file in the work tree. Fix it by doing three things: - Update the documentation to match the wish of original "reset --merge" better, namely, "An unmerged entry is a sign that the path didn't have any local modification and can be safely resetted to whatever the new HEAD records"; - Update read_index_unmerged(), which reads the index file into the cache while dropping any higher-stage entries down to stage #0, not to copy the object name from the higher stage entry. The code used to take the object name from the a stage entry ("base" if you happened to have stage #1, or "ours" if both sides added, etc.), which essentially meant that you are getting random results depending on what the merge did. The _only_ reason we want to keep a previously unmerged entry in the index at stage #0 is so that we don't forget the fact that we have corresponding file in the work tree in order to be able to remove it when the tree we are resetting to does not have the path. In order to differentiate such an entry from ordinary cache entry, the cache entry added by read_index_unmerged() is marked as CE_CONFLICTED. - Update merged_entry() and deleted_entry() so that they pay attention to cache entries marked as CE_CONFLICTED. They are previously unmerged entries, and the files in the work tree that correspond to them are resetted away by oneway_merge() to the version from the tree we are resetting to.

When resolving a conflict using "git add" to create a stage #0 entry, or "git rm" to remove entries at higher stages, remove_index_entry_at() function is eventually called to remove unmerged (i.e. higher stage) entries from the index. Introduce a "resolve_undo_info" structure and keep track of the removed cache entries, and save it in a new index extension section in the index_state. Operations like "read-tree -m", "merge", "checkout [-m] <branch>" and "reset" are signs that recorded information in the index is no longer necessary. The data is removed from the index extension when operations start; they may leave conflicted entries in the index, and later user actions like "git add" will record their conflicted states afresh.

2009-03-07Record ns-timestamps if possible, but do not use it without USE_NSECLibravatar Kjetil Barvik1-25/+4
Traditionally, the lack of USE_NSEC meant "do not record nor use the nanosecond resolution part of the file timestamps". To avoid problems on filesystems that lose the ns part when the metadata is flushed to the disk and then later read back in, disabling USE_NSEC has been a good idea in general. If you are on a filesystem without such an issue, it does not hurt to read and store them in the cached stat data in the index entries even if your git is compiled without USE_NSEC. The index left with such a version of git can be read by git compiled with USE_NSEC and it can make use of the nanosecond part to optimize the check to see if the path on the filesystem hsa been modified since we last looked at.

2009-02-23write_index(): update index_state->timestamp after flushing to diskLibravatar Kjetil Barvik1-2/+10
Since this timestamp is used to check for racy-clean files, it is important to keep it uptodate. For the 'git checkout' command without the '-q' option, this make a huge difference. Before, each and every file which was updated, was racy-clean after the call to unpack_trees() and write_index() but before the GIT process ended. And because of the call to show_local_changes() in builtin-checkout.c, we ended up reading those files back into memory, doing a SHA1 to check if the files was really different from the index. And, of course, no file was different. With this fix, 'git checkout' without the '-q' option should now be almost as fast as with the '-q' option, but not quite, as we still do some few lstat(2) calls more without the '-q' option.

Since the filesystem ext4 is now defined as stable in Linux v2.6.28, and ext4 supports nanonsecond resolution timestamps natively, it is time to make USE_NSEC work as expected. This will make racy git situations less likely to happen. For 'git checkout' this means it will be less likely that we have to open, read the contents of the file into RAM, and check if file is really modified or not. The result sould be a litle less used CPU time, less pagefaults and a litle faster program, at least for 'git checkout'. Since the number of possible racy git situations would increase when disks gets faster, this patch would be more and more helpfull as times go by. For a fast Solid State Disk, this patch should be helpfull. Note that, when file operations starts to take less than 1 nanosecond, one would again start to get more racy git situations.

Retesting with a GIT program compiled for gcov usage, I found out that the memmove() calls came from remove_index_entry_at() in read-cache.c, where we have: memmove(istate->cache + pos, istate->cache + pos + 1, (istate->cache_nr - pos) * sizeof(struct cache_entry *)); remove_index_entry_at() is called 4902 times from check_updates() in unpack-trees.c, and each time called we move each cache_entry pointers (from the removed one) one step to the left. Since we have 28828 entries in the cache this time, and if we on average move half of them each time, we in total move approximately 4902 * 0.5 * 28828 * 4 = 282 629 712 bytes, or twice this amount if each pointer is 8 bytes (64 bit). OK, is seems that the function check_updates() is called 28 times, so the estimated guess above had been more correct if check_updates() had been called only once, but the point is: we get lots of bytes moved. To fix this, and use an O(N) algorithm instead, where N is the number of cache_entries, we delete/remove all entries in one loop through all entries. From a retest, the new remove_marked_cache_entries() from the patch below, ended up with the following output line from oprofile: 46 0.0105 15 0.0041 git remove_marked_cache_entries If we can trust the numbers from oprofile in this case, we saved approximately ((7710 - 46) * 20000) / (2 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000) = 0.077 seconds CPU time with this fix for this particular test. And notice that now the CPU did only 46 / 15 = 3.1 cycles/instruction.

2009-01-28add -u: do not fail to resolve a path as deletedLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+20
After you resolve a conflicted merge to remove the path, "git add -u" failed to record the removal. Instead it errored out by saying that the removed path is not found in the work tree, but that is what the user already knows, and the wanted to record the removal as the resolution, so the error does not make sense.

Writing a tree out of an index with an "intent to add" entry is blocked. This implies that you cannot "git commit" from such a state; however you can still do "git commit -a" or "git commit $that_path". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-11-28git add --intent-to-add: fix removal of cached emptinessLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
This uses the extended index flag mechanism introduced earlier to mark the entries added to the index via "git add -N" with CE_INTENT_TO_ADD. The logic to detect an "intent to add" entry for the purpose of allowing "git rm --cached $path" is tightened to check not just for a staged empty blob, but with the CE_INTENT_TO_ADD bit. This protects an empty blob that was explicitly added and then modified in the work tree from being dropped with this sequence: $ >empty $ git add empty $ echo "non empty" >empty $ git rm --cached empty Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
