given fixed strings.
See the preceding fixed-string t/perf change ("perf: add a comparison
test of grep regex engines with -F", 2017-04-21) for notes about this,
in particular this mostly tests exactly the same codepath now, but
might not in the future:

Add a very basic performance comparison test comparing the POSIX
basic, extended and perl engines.
In theory the "basic" and "extended" engines should be implemented
using the same underlying code with a slightly different pattern
parser, but some implementations may not do this. Jump through some
slight hoops to test both, which is worthwhile since "basic" is the
default.
Running this on an i7 3.4GHz Linux 4.9.0-2 Debian testing against a
checkout of linux.git & latest upstream PCRE, both PCRE and git
compiled with -O3 using gcc 7.1.1:
$ GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=10 GIT_PERF_LARGE_REPO=~/g/linux ./run p7820-grep-engines.sh

Options can also be passed to git-grep via the GIT_PERF_7820_GREP_OPTS
environment variable. There are various modes such as "-v" that have
very different performance profiles, but handling the combinatorial
explosion of testing all those options would make this script much
more complex and harder to maintain. Instead just add the ability to
do one-shot runs with arbitrary options, e.g.:
$ GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=10 GIT_PERF_LARGE_REPO=~/g/linux GIT_PERF_7820_GREP_OPTS=" -i" ./run p7820-grep-engines.sh

Add a git GIT_PERF_MAKE_COMMAND variable to compliment the existing
GIT_PERF_MAKE_OPTS facility. This allows specifying an arbitrary shell
command to execute instead of 'make'.
This is useful e.g. in cases where the name, semantics or defaults of
a Makefile flag have changed over time. It can even be used to change
the contents of the tree, useful for monkeypatching ancient versions
of git to get them to build.
This opens Pandora's box in some ways, it's now possible to
"jailbreak" the perf environment and e.g. modify the source tree via
this arbitrary instead of just issuing a custom "make" command, such a
command has to be re-entrant in the sense that subsequent perf runs
will re-use the possibly modified tree.
It would be pointless to try to mitigate or work around that caveat in
a tool purely aimed at Git developers, so this change makes no attempt
to do so.

each test script to write test results into a file, otherwise it aborts
when aggregating. Add actual performance tests with test_perf to allow

Calibrate the value for the parameter --count based on the size of the

yet still be able to finish the script against huge ones without having

Add a test showing that runtimes of the wildmatch() function used for
globbing in git grow exponentially in the face of some pathological
globs.
This issue affects both globs matching filenames via e.g. ls-files,
and globs matching refnames via e.g. for-each-ref.
As noted in the test description this is a test to see whether Git
suffers from the issue noted in an article Russ Cox posted today about

Created t/perf/repos/many-files.sh to generate large, but
artificial repositories.
Created t/perf/inflate-repo.sh to alter an EXISTING repo
to have a set of large commits. This can be used to create
a branch with 1M+ files in repositories like git.git or
linux.git, but with more realistic content. It does this
by making multiple copies of the entire worktree in a series
of sub-directories.
The branch name and ballast structure created by both scripts
match, so either script can be used to generate very large
test repositories for the following perf test.
Created t/perf/p0006-read-tree-checkout.sh to measure
performance on various read-tree, checkout, and update-index
operations. This test can run using either normal repos or
ones from the above scripts.

Use ALLOC_GROW() macro when reallocing a string_list array
rather than simply increasing it by 32. This is a performance
optimization.
During status on a very large repo and there are many changes,
a significant percentage of the total run time is spent
reallocing the wt_status.changes array.
This change decreases the time in wt_status_collect_changes_worktree()
from 125 seconds to 45 seconds on my very large repository.
This produced a modest gain on my 1M file artificial repo, but
broke even on linux.git.

It's tempting to say:
./run v1.0.0 HEAD
to see how we've sped up Git over the years. Unfortunately,
this doesn't quite work because versions of Git prior to
v1.7.0 lack bin-wrappers, so our "run" script doesn't
correctly put them in the PATH.
Worse, it means we silently find whatever other "git" is in
the PATH, and produce test results that have no bearing on
what we asked for.
Let's fallback to the main git directory when bin-wrappers
isn't present. Many modern perf scripts won't run with such
an antique version of Git, of course, but at least those
failures are detected and reported (and you're free to write
a limited perf script that works across many versions).

Since 1a0962dee (t/perf: fix regression in testing older
versions of git, 2016-06-22), we point "$MODERN_GIT" to a
copy of git that matches the t/perf script itself, and which
can be used for tasks outside of the actual timings. This is
needed because the setup done by perf scripts keeps moving
forward in time, and may use features that the older
versions of git we are testing do not have.
That commit used $MODERN_GIT to fix a case where we relied
on the relatively recent --git-path option. But if you go
back further still, there are more problems.
Since 7501b5921 (perf: make the tests work in worktrees,
2016-05-13), we use "git -C", but versions of git older than
44e1e4d67 (git: run in a directory given with -C option,
2013-09-09) don't know about "-C". So testing an old version
of git with a new version of t/perf will fail the setup
step.
We can fix this by using $MODERN_GIT during the setup;
there's no need to use the antique version, since it doesn't
affect the timings. Likewise, we'll adjust the "init"
invocation; antique versions of git called this "init-db".

When fetching from a remote that has many tags that are irrelevant
to branches we are following, we used to waste way too many cycles
when checking if the object pointed at by a tag (that we are not
going to fetch!) exists in our repository too carefully.
* jk/fetch-quick-tag-following:
fetch: use "quick" has_sha1_file for tag following
|
|
When we auto-follow tags in a fetch, we look at all of the
tags advertised by the remote and fetch ones where we don't
already have the tag, but we do have the object it peels to.
This involves a lot of calls to has_sha1_file(), some of
which we can reasonably expect to fail. Since 45e8a74
(has_sha1_file: re-check pack directory before giving up,
2013-08-30), this may cause many calls to
reprepare_packed_git(), which is potentially expensive.
This has gone unnoticed for several years because it
requires a fairly unique setup to matter:
1. You need to have a lot of packs on the client side to
make reprepare_packed_git() expensive (the most
expensive part is finding duplicates in an unsorted
list, which is currently quadratic).
2. You need a large number of tag refs on the server side
that are candidates for auto-following (i.e., that the
client doesn't have). Each one triggers a re-read of
the pack directory.
3. Under normal circumstances, the client would
auto-follow those tags and after one large fetch, (2)
would no longer be true. But if those tags point to
history which is disconnected from what the client
otherwise fetches, then it will never auto-follow, and
those candidates will impact it on every fetch.
So when all three are true, each fetch pays an extra
O(nr_tags * nr_packs^2) cost, mostly in string comparisons
on the pack names. This was exacerbated by 47bf4b0
(prepare_packed_git_one: refactor duplicate-pack check,
2014-06-30) which uses a slightly more expensive string
check, under the assumption that the duplicate check doesn't
happen very often (and it shouldn't; the real problem here
is how often we are calling reprepare_packed_git()).
This patch teaches fetch to use HAS_SHA1_QUICK to sacrifice
accuracy for speed, in cases where we might be racy with a
simultaneous repack. This is similar to the fix in 0eeb077
(index-pack: avoid excessive re-reading of pack directory,
2015-06-09). As with that case, it's OK for has_sha1_file()
occasionally say "no I don't have it" when we do, because
the worst case is not a corruption, but simply that we may
fail to auto-follow a tag that points to it.
Here are results from the included perf script, which sets
up a situation similar to the one described above:

Starting from 6b8fda2d (pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects)
if a repository has bitmap index, pack-objects can nicely speedup
"Counting objects" graph traversal phase. That however was done only for
case when resultant pack is sent to stdout, not written into a file.
The reason here is for on-disk repack by default we want:
- to produce good pack (with bitmap index not-yet-packed objects are
emitted to pack in suboptimal order).
- to use more robust pack-generation codepath (avoiding possible
bugs in bitmap code and possible bitmap index corruption).
Jeff King further explains:
The reason for this split is that pack-objects tries to determine how
"careful" it should be based on whether we are packing to disk or to
stdout. Packing to disk implies "git repack", and that we will likely
delete the old packs after finishing. We want to be more careful (so
as not to carry forward a corruption, and to generate a more optimal
pack), and we presumably run less frequently and can afford extra CPU.
Whereas packing to stdout implies serving a remote via "git fetch" or
"git push". This happens more frequently (e.g., a server handling many
fetching clients), and we assume the receiving end takes more
responsibility for verifying the data.
But this isn't always the case. One might want to generate on-disk
packfiles for a specialized object transfer. Just using "--stdout" and
writing to a file is not optimal, as it will not generate the matching
pack index.
So it would be useful to have some way of overriding this heuristic:
to tell pack-objects that even though it should generate on-disk
files, it is still OK to use the reachability bitmaps to do the
traversal.
So we can teach pack-objects to use bitmap index for initial object
counting phase when generating resultant pack file too:
- if we take care to not let it be activated under git-repack:
See above about repack robustness and not forward-carrying corruption.
- if we know bitmap index generation is not enabled for resultant pack:
The current code has singleton bitmap_git, so it cannot work
simultaneously with two bitmap indices.
We also want to avoid (at least with current implementation)
generating bitmaps off of bitmaps. The reason here is: when generating
a pack, not-yet-packed objects will be emitted into pack in
suboptimal order and added to tail of the bitmap as "extended entries".
When the resultant pack + some new objects in associated repository
are in turn used to generate another pack with bitmap, the situation
repeats: new objects are again not emitted optimally and just added to
bitmap tail - not in recency order.
So the pack badness can grow over time when at each step we have
bitmapped pack + some other objects. That's why we want to avoid
generating bitmaps off of bitmaps, not to let pack badness grow.
- if we keep pack reuse enabled still only for "send-to-stdout" case:
Because pack-to-file needs to generate index for destination pack, and
currently on pack reuse raw entries are directly written out to the
destination pack by write_reused_pack(), bypassing needed for pack index
generation bookkeeping done by regular codepath in write_one() and
friends.
( In the future we might teach pack-reuse code about cases when index
also needs to be generated for resultant pack and remove
pack-reuse-only-for-stdout limitation )
This way for pack-objects -> file we get nice speedup:
erp5.git[1] (~230MB) extracted from ~ 5GB lab.nexedi.com backup
repository managed by git-backup[2] via
time echo 0186ac99 | git pack-objects --revs erp5pack
before: 37.2s
after: 26.2s
And for `git repack -adb` packed git.git
time echo 5c589a73 | git pack-objects --revs gitpack
before: 7.1s
after: 3.6s
i.e. it can be 30% - 50% speedup for pack extraction.
git-backup extracts many packs on repositories restoration. That was my
initial motivation for the patch.
[1] https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/erp5
[2] https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/git-backup
NOTE
Jeff also suggests that pack.useBitmaps was probably a mistake to
introduce originally. This way we are not adding another config point,
but instead just always default to-file pack-objects not to use bitmap
index: Tools which need to generate on-disk packs with using bitmap, can
pass --use-bitmap-index explicitly. And git-repack does never pass
--use-bitmap-index, so this way we can be sure regular on-disk repacking
remains robust.
NOTE2
`git pack-objects --stdout >file.pack` + `git index-pack file.pack` is much slower
than `git pack-objects file.pack`. Extracting erp5.git pack from
lab.nexedi.com backup repository:
$ time echo 0186ac99 | git pack-objects --stdout --revs >erp5pack-stdout.pack
real 0m22.309s
user 0m21.148s
sys 0m0.932s
$ time git index-pack erp5pack-stdout.pack
real 0m50.873s <-- more than 2 times slower than time to generate pack itself!
user 0m49.300s
sys 0m1.360s
So the time for
`pack-object --stdout >file.pack` + `index-pack file.pack` is 72s,
while
`pack-objects file.pack` which does both pack and index is 27s.
And even
`pack-objects --no-use-bitmap-index file.pack` is 37s.
Jeff explains:
The packfile does not carry the sha1 of the objects. A receiving
index-pack has to compute them itself, including inflating and applying
all of the deltas.
that's why for `git-backup restore` we want to teach `git pack-objects
file.pack` to use bitmaps instead of using `git pack-objects --stdout
>file.pack` + `git index-pack file.pack`.
NOTE3
The speedup is now tracked via t/perf/p5310-pack-bitmaps.sh

When "git rebase" tries to compare set of changes on the updated
upstream and our own branch, it computes patch-id for all of these
changes and attempts to find matches. This has been optimized by
lazily computing the full patch-id (which is expensive) to be
compared only for changes that touch the same set of paths.
* kw/patch-ids-optim:
rebase: avoid computing unnecessary patch IDs
patch-ids: add flag to create the diff patch id using header only data
patch-ids: replace the seen indicator with a commit pointer
patch-ids: stop using a hand-rolled hashmap implementation
|
|
The `rebase` family of Git commands avoid applying patches that were
already integrated upstream. They do that by using the revision walking
option that computes the patch IDs of the two sides of the rebase
(local-only patches vs upstream-only ones) and skipping those local
patches whose patch ID matches one of the upstream ones.
In many cases, this causes unnecessary churn, as already the set of
paths touched by a given commit would suffice to determine that an
upstream patch has no local equivalent.
This hurts performance in particular when there are a lot of upstream
patches, and/or large ones.
Therefore, let's introduce the concept of a "diff-header-only" patch ID,
compare those first, and only evaluate the "full" patch ID lazily.
Please note that in contrast to the "full" patch IDs, those
"diff-header-only" patch IDs are prone to collide with one another, as
adjacent commits frequently touch the very same files. Hence we now
have to be careful to allow multiple hash entries with the same hash.
We accomplish that by using the hashmap_add() function that does not even
test for hash collisions. This also allows us to evaluate the full patch ID
lazily, i.e. only when we found commits with matching diff-header-only
patch IDs.
We add a performance test that demonstrates ~1-6% improvement. In
practice this will depend on various factors such as how many upstream
changes and how big those changes are along with whether file system
caches are cold or warm. As Git's test suite has no way of catching
performance regressions, we also add a regression test that verifies
that the full patch ID computation is skipped when the diff-header-only
computation suffices.

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.
