2016-07-29t/perf: add tests for many-pack scenariosLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+87
Git's pack storage does efficient (log n) lookups in a single packfile's index, but if we have multiple packfiles, we have to linearly search each for a given object. This patch introduces some timing tests for cases where we have a large number of packs, so that we can measure any improvements we make in the following patches. The main thing we want to time is object lookup. To do this, we measure "git rev-list --objects --all", which does a fairly large number of object lookups (essentially one per object in the repository). However, we also measure the time to do a full repack, which is interesting for two reasons. One is that in addition to the usual pack lookup, it has its own linear iteration over the list of packs. And two is that because it it is the tool one uses to go from an inefficient many-pack situation back to a single pack, we care about its performance not only at marginal numbers of packs, but at the extreme cases (e.g., if you somehow end up with 5,000 packs, it is the only way to get back to 1 pack, so we need to make sure it performs well). We measure the performance of each command in three scenarios: 1 pack, 50 packs, and 1,000 packs. The 1-pack case is a baseline; any optimizations we do to handle multiple packs cannot possibly perform better than this. The 50-pack case is as far as Git should generally allow your repository to go, if you have auto-gc enabled with the default settings. So this represents the maximum performance improvement we would expect under normal circumstances. The 1,000-pack case is hopefully rare, though I have seen it in the wild where automatic maintenance was broken for some time (and the repository continued to receive pushes). This represents cases where we care less about general performance, but want to make sure that a full repack command does not take excessively long.

2016-06-22p4211: explicitly disable renames in no-rename testLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+3
p4211 tests line-log performance both with and without "-M". In v2.9.0, the case without "-M" appears to have regressed badly, but that is only because we flipped on renames by default. Let's have the test explicitly disable renames to get consistent timings (and to match the presumed intent of the test, which is to see the effects with and without renames).

2016-06-22t/perf: fix regression in testing older versions of gitLibravatar Jeff King2-3/+14
Commit 7501b59 (perf: make the tests work in worktrees, 2016-05-13) introduced the use of "git rev-parse --git-path" in the perf-lib setup code. Because the to-be-tested version of git is at the front of the $PATH when this code runs, this means we cannot use modern versions of t/perf to test versions of git older than v2.5.0 (when that option was introduced). This is a symptom of a more general problem. The t/perf suite is essentially independent of git versions, and ideally we would be able to run the most modern and complete set of tests across many historical versions (to see how they compare). But any setup code they run is therefore required to use the lowest common denominator we expect to test. So let's introduce a new variable, $MODERN_GIT, that we can use both in perf-lib and in the test setup to get a reliable set of git features (we might change git and break some tests, of course, but $MODERN_GIT is tied to the same version of git as the t/perf scripts, so they can be fixed or adjusted together). This commit fixes the "--git-path" case, but does not mass-convert existing setup code to use $MODERN_GIT. Most setup code is fairly vanilla and will work with effectively all versions. But now the tool is there to fix any other issues we find going forward. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-06-21perf: accommodate for MacOSXLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+5
As this developer has no access to MacOSX developer setups anymore, Travis becomes the best bet to run performance tests on that OS. However, on MacOSX /usr/bin/time is that good old BSD executable that no Linux user cares about, as demonstrated by the perf-lib.sh's use of GNU-ish extensions. And by the hard-coded path. Let's just work around this issue by using gtime on MacOSX, the Homebrew-provided GNU implementation onto which pretty much every MacOSX power user falls back anyway. To help other developers use Travis to run performance tests on MacOSX, the .travis.yml file now sports a commented-out line that installs GNU time via Homebrew.

This developer spent a lot of time trying to speed up the interactive rebase, in particular on Windows. And will continue to do so. To make it easier to demonstrate the performance improvement, let's have a reproducible performance test. The topic branch we use to test performance was found using these shell commands (essentially searching for a long-enough topic branch in Git's own history that touched the same file multiple times): git rev-list --parents origin/master | grep ' .* ' | while read commit rest do patch_count=$(git rev-list --count $commit^..$commit^2) test $patch_count -gt 20 || continue merges="$(git rev-list --parents $commit^..$commit^2 | grep ' .* ')" test -z "$merges" || continue patches_per_file="$(git log --pretty=%H --name-only \ $commit^..$commit^2 | grep -v '^$' | sort | uniq -c -d | sort -n -r)" test -n "$patches_per_file" && test 20 -lt $(echo "$patches_per_file" | sed -n '1s/^ *\([0-9]*\).*/\1/p') || continue printf 'commit %s\n%s\n' "$commit" "$patches_per_file" done Note that we can get away with *not* having to reset to the original branch tip before rebasing: we switch the first two "pick" lines every time, so we end up with the same patch order after two rebases, and the complexity of both rebases is equivalent.

2016-05-13perf: make the tests work in worktreesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-7/+7
This patch makes perf-lib.sh more robust so that it can run correctly even inside a worktree. For example, it assumed that $GIT_DIR/objects is the objects directory (which is not the case for worktrees) and it used the commondir file verbatim, even if it contained a relative path. Furthermore, the setup code expected `git rev-parse --git-dir` to spit out a relative path, which is also not true for worktrees. Let's just change the code to accept both relative and absolute paths, by avoiding the `cd` into the copied working directory.

2016-05-13perf: let's disable symlinks when they are not availableLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+4
We already have a perfectly fine prereq to tell us whether it is safe to use symlinks. So let's use it. This fixes the performance tests in Git for Windows' SDK, where symlinks are not really available ([*1*]). This is not an issue with Git for Windows itself because it configures core.symlinks=false in its system config. However, the system config is disabled for the performance tests, for obvious reasons: we want them to be independent of the vagaries of any local configuration. Footnote *1*: Windows has symbolic links. Git for Windows disables them by default, though (for example: in standard setups, non-admins lack the privilege to create symbolic links).

2016-01-25resolve_gitlink_ref: ignore non-repository pathsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+4
When we want to look up a submodule ref, we use get_ref_cache(path) to find or auto-create its ref cache. But if we feed a path that isn't actually a git repository, we blindly create the ref cache, and then may die deeper in the code when we try to access it. This is a problem because many callers speculatively feed us a path that looks vaguely like a repository, and expect us to tell them when it is not. This patch teaches resolve_gitlink_ref to reject non-repository paths without creating a ref_cache. This avoids the die(), and also performs better if you have a large number of these faux-submodule directories (because the ref_cache lookup is linear, under the assumption that there won't be a large number of submodules). To accomplish this, we also break get_ref_cache into two pieces: the lookup and auto-creation (the latter is lumped into create_ref_cache). This lets us first cheaply ask our cache "is it a submodule we know about?" If so, we can avoid repeating our filesystem lookup. So lookups of real submodules are not penalized; they examine the submodule's .git directory only once. The test in t3000 demonstrates a case where this improves correctness (we used to just die). The new perf case in p7300 shows off the speed improvement in an admittedly pathological repository: Test HEAD^ HEAD ---------------------------------------------------------------- 7300.4: ls-files -o 66.97(66.15+0.87) 0.33(0.08+0.24) -99.5% Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

We time a straight "rev-list --all" and its "--object" counterpart, both going all the way to the root. However, we do not time a partial history walk. This patch adds an extreme case: a walk over a very small slice of history, but with a very large set of UNINTERESTING tips. This is similar to the connectivity check run by git on a small fetch, or the walk done by any pre-receive hooks that want to check incoming commits.

2013-12-30pack-bitmap: implement optional name_hash cacheLibravatar Vicent Marti1-1/+2
When we use pack bitmaps rather than walking the object graph, we end up with the list of objects to include in the packfile, but we do not know the path at which any tree or blob objects would be found. In a recently packed repository, this is fine. A fetch would use the paths only as a heuristic in the delta compression phase, and a fully packed repository should not need to do much delta compression. As time passes, though, we may acquire more objects on top of our large bitmapped pack. If clients fetch frequently, then they never even look at the bitmapped history, and all works as usual. However, a client who has not fetched since the last bitmap repack will have "have" tips in the bitmapped history, but "want" newer objects. The bitmaps themselves degrade gracefully in this circumstance. We manually walk the more recent bits of history, and then use bitmaps when we hit them. But we would also like to perform delta compression between the newer objects and the bitmapped objects (both to delta against what we know the user already has, but also between "new" and "old" objects that the user is fetching). The lack of pathnames makes our delta heuristics much less effective. This patch adds an optional cache of the 32-bit name_hash values to the end of the bitmap file. If present, a reader can use it to match bitmapped and non-bitmapped names during delta compression. Here are perf results for p5310: Test origin/master HEAD^ HEAD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5310.2: repack to disk 36.81(37.82+1.43) 47.70(48.74+1.41) +29.6% 47.75(48.70+1.51) +29.7% 5310.3: simulated clone 30.78(29.70+2.14) 1.08(0.97+0.10) -96.5% 1.07(0.94+0.12) -96.5% 5310.4: simulated fetch 3.16(6.10+0.08) 3.54(10.65+0.06) +12.0% 1.70(3.07+0.06) -46.2% 5310.6: partial bitmap 36.76(43.19+1.81) 6.71(11.25+0.76) -81.7% 4.08(6.26+0.46) -88.9% You can see that the time spent on an incremental fetch goes down, as our delta heuristics are able to do their work.

This adds a few basic perf tests for the pack bitmap code to show off its improvements. The tests are: 1. How long does it take to do a repack (it gets slower with bitmaps, since we have to do extra work)? 2. How long does it take to do a clone (it gets faster with bitmaps)? 3. How does a small fetch perform when we've just repacked? 4. How does a clone perform when we haven't repacked since a week of pushes?

A small fetch performs a bit worse, as we spend way more time on delta compression (note the heavy user CPU time, as we have 8 threads) due to the lack of name hashes for the bitmapped objects. The final test shows how the bitmaps degrade over time between packs. There's still a significant speedup over the non-bitmap case, but we don't do quite as well (we have to spend time accessing the "new" objects the old fashioned way, including delta compression).

2013-03-28Implement line-history search (git log -L)Libravatar Thomas Rast1-0/+34
This is a rewrite of much of Bo's work, mainly in an effort to split it into smaller, easier to understand routines. The algorithm is built around the struct range_set, which encodes a series of line ranges as intervals [a,b). This is used in two contexts: * A set of lines we are tracking (which will change as we dig through history). * To encode diffs, as pairs of ranges. The main routine is range_set_map_across_diff(). It processes the diff between a commit C and some parent P. It determines which diff hunks are relevant to the ranges tracked in C, and computes the new ranges for P. The algorithm is then simply to process history in topological order from newest to oldest, computing ranges and (partial) diffs. At branch points, we need to merge the ranges we are watching. We will find that many commits do not affect the chosen ranges, and mark them TREESAME (in addition to those already filtered by pathspec limiting). Another pass of history simplification then gets rid of such commits. This is wired as an extra filtering pass in the log machinery. This currently only reduces code duplication, but should allow for other simplifications and options to be used. Finally, we hook a diff printer into the output chain. Ideally we would wire directly into the diff logic, to optionally use features like word diff. However, that will require some major reworking of the diff chain, so we completely replace the output with our own diff for now. As this was a GSoC project, and has quite some history by now, many people have helped.

2012-09-17MALLOC_CHECK: various clean-upsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
The most important in this change is to avoid affecting anything when test-lib is used from perf-lib. It also limits the effect of the MALLOC_CHECK only to what is run inside the actual test, and uses a fixed MALLOC_PERTURB_ in order to avoid hurting repeatability of the tests.

2012-08-04tests: Introduce test_seqLibravatar Michał Kiedrowicz1-1/+1
Jeff King wrote: The seq command is GNU-ism, and is missing at least in older BSD releases and their derivatives, not to mention antique commercial Unixes. We already purged it in b3431bc (Don't use seq in tests, not everyone has it, 2007-05-02), but a few new instances have crept in. They went unnoticed because they are in scripts that are not run by default. Replace them with test_seq that is implemented with a Perl snippet (proposed by Jeff). This is better than inlining this snippet everywhere it's needed because it's easier to read and it's easier to change the implementation (e.g. to C) if we ever decide to remove Perl from the test suite. Note that test_seq is not a complete replacement for seq(1). It just has what we need now, in addition that it makes it possible for us to do something like "test_seq a m" if we wanted to in the future. There are also many places that do `for i in 1 2 3 ...` but I'm not sure if it's worth converting them to test_seq. That would introduce running more processes of Perl.

2012-05-07index-pack: support multithreaded delta resolvingLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+40
This puts delta resolving on each base on a separate thread, one base cache per thread. Per-thread data is grouped in struct thread_local. When running with nr_threads == 1, no pthreads calls are made. The system essentially runs in non-thread mode. An experiment on a Xeon 24 core machine with git.git shows that performance does not increase proportional to the number of cores. So by default, we use maximum 3 cores.

8c912ee (teach --histogram to diff, 2011-07-12) claimed histogram diff was faster than both Myers and patience. We have since incorporated a performance testing framework, so add a test that compares the various diff tasks performed in a real 'log -p' workload. This does indeed show that histogram diff slightly beats Myers, while patience is much slower than the others.
