2022-01-13update-index: add tests for sparse-checkout compatibilityLibravatar Victoria Dye1-0/+1
Introduce tests for a variety of `git update-index` use cases, including performance scenarios. Tests are intended to exercise `update-index` with options that change the commands interaction with the index (e.g., `--again`) and with files/directories inside and outside a sparse checkout cone. Of note is that these tests clearly establish the behavior of `git update-index --add` with untracked, outside-of-cone files. Unlike `git add`, which fails with an error when provided with such files, `update-index` succeeds in adding them to the index. Additionally, the `skip-worktree` flag is *not* automatically added to the new entry. Although this is pre-existing behavior, there are a couple of reasons to avoid changing it in favor of consistency with e.g. `git add`: * `update-index` is low-level command for modifying the index; while it can perform operations similar to those of `add`, it traditionally has fewer "guardrails" preventing a user from doing something they may not want to do (in this case, adding an outside-of-cone, non-`skip-worktree` file to the index) * `update-index` typically only exits with an error code if it is incapable of performing an operation (e.g., if an internal function call fails); adding a new file outside the sparse checkout definition is still a valid operation, albeit an inadvisable one * `update-index` does not implicitly set flags (e.g., `skip-worktree`) when creating new index entries with `--add`; if flags need to be updated, options like `--[no-]skip-worktree` allow a user to intentionally set them All this to say that, while there are valid reasons to consider changing the treatment of outside-of-cone files in `update-index`, there are also sufficient reasons for leaving it as-is.

2022-01-13checkout-index: expand sparse checkout compatibility testsLibravatar Victoria Dye1-0/+1
Add tests to cover `checkout-index`, with a focus on cases interesting in a sparse checkout (e.g., files specified outside sparse checkout definition). New tests are intended to serve as a baseline for existing and/or expected behavior and performance when integrating `checkout-index` with the sparse index. Note that the test 'checkout-index --all' is marked as 'test_expect_failure', indicating that `update-index --all` will be modified in a subsequent patch to behave as the test expects.

2021-12-25t/perf: do not run tests in user's $SHELLLibravatar Johannes Altmanninger1-1/+1
The environment variable $SHELL is usually set to the user's interactive shell. Our build and test scripts never use $SHELL because there are no guarantees about its input language. Instead, we use /bin/sh which should be a POSIX shell. For systems with a broken /bin/sh, we allow to override that path via SHELL_PATH. To run tests in yet another shell we allow to override SHELL_PATH with TEST_SHELL_PATH. Perf tests run in $SHELL via a wrapper defined in t/perf/perf-lib.sh, so they break with e.g. SHELL=python. Use TEST_SHELL_PATH like in other tests. TEST_SHELL_PATH is always defined because t/perf/perf-lib.sh includes t/test-lib.sh, which includes GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS.

2021-12-13t0000-t3999: detect and signal failure within loopLibravatar Eric Sunshine7-12/+12
Failures within `for` and `while` loops can go unnoticed if not detected and signaled manually since the loop itself does not abort when a contained command fails, nor will a failure necessarily be detected when the loop finishes since the loop returns the exit code of the last command it ran on the final iteration, which may not be the command which failed. Therefore, detect and signal failures manually within loops using the idiom `|| return 1` (or `|| exit 1` within subshells).

2021-12-13tests: fix broken &&-chains in compound statementsLibravatar Eric Sunshine5-23/+23
The top-level &&-chain checker built into t/test-lib.sh causes tests to magically exit with code 117 if the &&-chain is broken. However, it has the shortcoming that the magic does not work within `{...}` groups, `(...)` subshells, `$(...)` substitutions, or within bodies of compound statements, such as `if`, `for`, `while`, `case`, etc. `chainlint.sed` partly fills in the gap by catching broken &&-chains in `(...)` subshells, but bugs can still lurk behind broken &&-chains in the other cases. Fix broken &&-chains in compound statements in order to reduce the number of possible lurking bugs.

2021-12-06blame: enable and test the sparse indexLibravatar Lessley Dennington1-0/+2
Enable the sparse index for the 'git blame' command. The index was already not expanded with this command, so the most interesting thing to do is to add tests that verify that 'git blame' behaves correctly when the sparse index is enabled and that its performance improves. More specifically, these cases are: 1. The index is not expanded for 'blame' when given paths in the sparse checkout cone at multiple levels. 2. Performance measurably improves for 'blame' with sparse index when given paths in the sparse checkout cone at multiple levels. The `p2000` tests demonstrate a ~60% execution time reduction when running 'blame' for a file two levels deep and and a ~30% execution time reduction for a file three levels deep.

2021-12-06diff: enable and test the sparse indexLibravatar Lessley Dennington1-0/+2
Enable the sparse index within the 'git diff' command. Its implementation already safely integrates with the sparse index because it shares code with the 'git status' and 'git checkout' commands that were already integrated. For more details see: d76723ee53 (status: use sparse-index throughout, 2021-07-14) 1ba5f45132 (checkout: stop expanding sparse indexes, 2021-06-29) The most interesting thing to do is to add tests that verify that 'git diff' behaves correctly when the sparse index is enabled. These cases are: 1. The index is not expanded for 'diff' and 'diff --staged' 2. 'diff' and 'diff --staged' behave the same in full checkout, sparse checkout, and sparse index repositories in the following partially-staged scenarios (i.e. the index, HEAD, and working directory differ at a given path): 1. Path is within sparse-checkout cone 2. Path is outside sparse-checkout cone 3.

Teach test_perf_() to remove the temporary test_times.* files at the end of each test. test_perf_() runs a particular GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT times and creates ./test_times.[123...]. It then uses a perl script to find the minimum over "./test_times.*" (note the wildcard) and writes that time to "test-results/<testname>.<testnumber>.result". If the repeat count is changed during the pXXXX test script, stale test_times.* files (from previous steps) may be included in the min() computation. For example: ... GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=3 \ test_perf "status" " git status " GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=1 \ test_perf "checkout other" " git checkout other " ... The time reported in the summary for "XXXX.2 checkout other" would be "min( checkout[1], status[2], status[3] )". We prevent that error by removing the test_times.* files at the end of each test.

When using `test_size` with `wc -c`, users on certain platforms can run into issues when `wc` emits leading space characters in its output, which confuses get_times. Callers could switch to use test_file_size instead of `wc -c` (the former never prints leading space characters, so will always work with test_size regardless of platform), but this is an easy enough spot to miss that we should teach get_times to be more tolerant of the input it accepts.

The GIT_TEST_INSTALLED was moved from perf-lib.sh to run in df0f5021 (perf-lib.sh: remove GIT_TEST_INSTALLED from perf-lib.sh, 2019-05-07) and that included a change to how it inspected the existence of a bin-wrappers directory. However, that included a typo that made the match of bin-wrappers never work. Specifically, the assignment was mydir_abs_wrappers="$mydir_abs_wrappers/bin-wrappers" which uses the same variable before it is initialized. By changing it to mydir_abs_wrappers="$mydir_abs/bin-wrappers" We can correctly use the bin-wrappers directory. This is critical to successfully computing performance of commands that execute subcommands. The bin-wrappers ensure that the --exec-path is set correctly.

2021-09-17p5326: generate pack bitmaps before writing the MIDX bitmapLibravatar Taylor Blau1-1/+8
To help test the performance of permuting the contents of the hash-cache when generating a MIDX bitmap, we need a bitmap which has its hash-cache populated. And since multi-pack bitmaps don't add *new* values to the hash-cache, we have to rely on a single-pack bitmap to generate those values for us. Therefore, generate a pack bitmap before the MIDX one in order to ensure that the MIDX bitmap has entries in its hash-cache. Since we don't want to time generating the pack bitmap, move that to a non-perf test run before we try to generate the MIDX bitmap. Likewise, get rid of the pack bitmap afterwords, to make certain that we are not accidentally using it in the performance tests run later on.

2021-09-01p5326: perf tests for MIDX bitmapsLibravatar Taylor Blau1-0/+43
These new performance tests demonstrate effectively the same behavior as p5310, but use a multi-pack bitmap instead of a single-pack one. Notably, p5326 does not create a MIDX bitmap with multiple packs. This is so we can measure a direct comparison between it and p5310. Any difference between the two is measuring just the overhead of using MIDX bitmaps. Here are the results of p5310 and p5326 together, measured at the same time and on the same machine (using a Xenon W-2255 CPU): Test HEAD ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5310.2: repack to disk 96.78(93.39+11.33) 5310.3: simulated clone 9.98(9.79+0.19) 5310.4: simulated fetch 1.75(4.26+0.19) 5310.5: pack to file (bitmap) 28.20(27.87+8.70) 5310.6: rev-list (commits) 0.41(0.36+0.05) 5310.7: rev-list (objects) 1.61(1.54+0.07) 5310.8: rev-list count with blob:none 0.25(0.21+0.04) 5310.9: rev-list count with blob:limit=1k 2.65(2.54+0.10) 5310.10: rev-list count with tree:0 0.23(0.19+0.04) 5310.11: simulated partial clone 4.34(4.21+0.12) 5310.13: clone (partial bitmap) 11.05(12.21+0.48) 5310.14: pack to file (partial bitmap) 31.25(34.22+3.70) 5310.15: rev-list with tree filter (partial bitmap) 0.26(0.22+0.04) versus the same tests (this time using a multi-pack index): Test HEAD ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5326.2: setup multi-pack index 78.99(75.29+11.58) 5326.3: simulated clone 11.78(11.56+0.22) 5326.4: simulated fetch 1.70(4.49+0.13) 5326.5: pack to file (bitmap) 28.02(27.72+8.76) 5326.6: rev-list (commits) 0.42(0.36+0.06) 5326.7: rev-list (objects) 1.65(1.58+0.06) 5326.8: rev-list count with blob:none 0.26(0.21+0.05) 5326.9: rev-list count with blob:limit=1k 2.97(2.86+0.10) 5326.10: rev-list count with tree:0 0.25(0.20+0.04) 5326.11: simulated partial clone 5.65(5.49+0.16) 5326.13: clone (partial bitmap) 12.22(13.43+0.38) 5326.14: pack to file (partial bitmap) 30.05(31.57+7.25) 5326.15: rev-list with tree filter (partial bitmap) 0.24(0.20+0.04) There is slight overhead in "simulated clone", "simulated partial clone", and "clone (partial bitmap)". Unsurprisingly, that overhead is due to using the MIDX's reverse index to map between bit positions and MIDX positions.

When the TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is defined, then all test data will be written in that directory instead of the default directory located in "t/". While this works as expected for our normal tests, performance tests fail to locate and aggregate performance data because they don't know to handle TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY correctly and always look at the default location. Fix the issue by adding a `--results-dir` parameter to "aggregate.perl" which identifies the directory where results are and by making the "run" script awake of the TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY variable.

2021-04-28repack: avoid loosening promisor objects in partial clonesLibravatar Rafael Silva1-0/+4
When `git repack -A -d` is run in a partial clone, `pack-objects` is invoked twice: once to repack all promisor objects, and once to repack all non-promisor objects. The latter `pack-objects` invocation is with --exclude-promisor-objects and --unpack-unreachable, which loosens all objects unused during this invocation. Unfortunately, this includes promisor objects. Because the -d argument to `git repack` subsequently deletes all loose objects also in packs, these just-loosened promisor objects will be immediately deleted. However, this extra disk churn is unnecessary in the first place. For example, in a newly-cloned partial repo that filters all blob objects (e.g. `--filter=blob:none`), `repack` ends up unpacking all trees and commits into the filesystem because every object, in this particular case, is a promisor object. Depending on the repo size, this increases the disk usage considerably: In my copy of the linux.git, the object directory peaked 26GB of more disk usage. In order to avoid this extra disk churn, pass the names of the promisor packfiles as --keep-pack arguments to the second invocation of `pack-objects`. This informs `pack-objects` that the promisor objects are already in a safe packfile and, therefore, do not need to be loosened. For testing, we need to validate whether any object was loosened. However, the "evidence" (loosened objects) is deleted during the process which prevents us from inspecting the object directory. Instead, let's teach `pack-objects` to count loosened objects and emit via trace2 thus allowing inspecting the debug events after the process is finished. This new event is used on the added regression test. Lastly, add a new perf test to evaluate the performance impact made by this changes (tested on git.git): Test HEAD^ HEAD ---------------------------------------------------------- 5600.3: gc 134.38(41.93+90.95) 7.80(6.72+1.35) -94.2% For a bigger repository, such as linux.git, the improvement is even bigger: Test HEAD^ HEAD ------------------------------------------------------------------- 5600.3: gc 6833.00(918.07+3162.74) 268.79(227.02+39.18) -96.1% These improvements are particular big because every object in the newly-cloned partial repository is a promisor object.

2021-04-13revision: avoid parsing with --exclude-promisor-objectsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+8
When --exclude-promisor-objects is given, before traversing any objects we iterate over all of the objects in any promisor packs, marking them as UNINTERESTING and SEEN. We turn the oid we get from iterating the pack into an object with parse_object(), but this has two problems: - it's slow; we are zlib inflating (and reconstructing from deltas) every byte of every object in the packfile - it leaves the tree buffers attached to their structs, which means our heap usage will grow to store every uncompressed tree simultaneously. This can be gigabytes. We can obviously fix the second by freeing the tree buffers after we've parsed them. But we can observe that the function doesn't look at the object contents at all! The only reason we call parse_object() is that we need a "struct object" on which to set the flags. There are two options here: - we can look up just the object type via oid_object_info(), and then call the appropriate lookup_foo() function - we can call lookup_unknown_object(), which gives us an OBJ_NONE struct (which will get auto-converted later by object_as_type() via calls to lookup_commit(), etc). The first one is closer to the current code, but we do pay the price to look up the type for each object. The latter should be more efficient in CPU, though it wastes a little bit of memory (the "unknown" object structs are a union of all object types, so some of the structs are bigger than they need to be). It also runs the risk of triggering a latent bug in code that calls lookup_object() directly but isn't ready to handle OBJ_NONE (such code would already be buggy, but we use lookup_unknown_object() infrequently enough that it might be hiding). I went with the second option here. I don't think the risk is high (and we'd want to find and fix any such bugs anyway), and it should be more efficient overall. The new tests in p5600 show off the improvement (this is on git.git): Test HEAD^ HEAD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5600.5: count commits 0.37(0.37+0.00) 0.38(0.38+0.00) +2.7% 5600.6: count non-promisor commits 11.74(11.37+0.37) 0.04(0.03+0.00) -99.7% The improvement is particularly big in this script because _every_ object in the newly-cloned partial repo is a promisor object. So after marking them all, there's nothing left to traverse. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-04-13is_promisor_object(): free tree buffer after parsingLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+4
To get the list of all promisor objects, we not only include all objects in promisor packs, but also parse each of those objects to see which objects they reference. After parsing a tree object, the tree->buffer field will remain populated until we explicitly free it. So in a partial clone of blob:none, for example, we are essentially reading every tree in the repository (since they're all in the initial promisor pack), and keeping all of their uncompressed contents in memory at once. This patch frees the tree buffers after we've finished marking all of their reachable objects. We shouldn't need to do this for any other object type. While we are using some extra memory to store the structs, no other object type stores the whole contents in its parsed form (we do sometimes hold on to commit buffers, but less so these days due to commit graphs, plus most commands which care about promisor objects turn off the save_commit_buffer global). Even for a moderate-sized repository like git.git, this patch drops the peak heap (as measured by massif) for git-fsck from ~1.7GB to ~138MB. Fsck is a good candidate for measuring here because it doesn't interact with the promisor code except to call is_promisor_object(), so we can isolate just this problem. The added perf test shows only a tiny improvement on my machine for git.git, since 1.7GB isn't enough to cause any real memory pressure: Test HEAD^ HEAD -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5600.4: fsck 21.26(20.90+0.35) 20.84(20.79+0.04) -2.0% With linux.git the absolute change is a bit bigger, though still a small percentage: Test HEAD^ HEAD ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5600.4: fsck 262.26(259.13+3.12) 254.92(254.62+0.29) -2.8% I didn't have the patience to run it under massif with linux.git, but it's probably on the order of about 14GB improvement, since that's the sum of the sizes of all of the uncompressed trees (but still isn't enough to create memory pressure on this particular machine, which has 64GB of RAM). Smaller machines would probably see a bigger effect on runtime (and sadly our perf suite does not measure peak heap).

2021-03-30p2000: add sparse-index reposLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-1/+18
p2000-sparse-operations.sh compares different Git commands in repositories with many files at HEAD but using sparse-checkout to focus on a small portion of those files. Add extra copies of the repository that use the sparse-index format so we can track how that affects the performance of different commands. At this point in time, the sparse-index is 100% overhead from the CPU front, and this is measurable in these tests: Test --------------------------------------------------------------- 2000.2: git status (full-index-v3) 0.59(0.51+0.12) 2000.3: git status (full-index-v4) 0.59(0.52+0.11) 2000.4: git status (sparse-index-v3) 1.40(1.32+0.12) 2000.5: git status (sparse-index-v4) 1.41(1.36+0.08) 2000.6: git add -A (full-index-v3) 2.32(1.97+0.19) 2000.7: git add -A (full-index-v4) 2.17(1.92+0.14) 2000.8: git add -A (sparse-index-v3) 2.31(2.21+0.15) 2000.9: git add -A (sparse-index-v4) 2.30(2.20+0.13) 2000.10: git add .

This is primarily due to the fact that the relative file sizes are the same, and the command time is mostly taken up by parsing tree objects to expand the sparse index into a full one. With the current file layout, the index file sizes are given by this table: | full index | sparse index | +-------------+--------------+ v3 | 108 MiB | 1.6 MiB | v4 | 80 MiB | 1.2 MiB | Future updates will improve the performance of Git commands when the index is sparse.

2021-03-30t/perf: add performance test for sparse operationsLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+84
Create a test script that takes the default performance test (the Git codebase) and multiplies it by 256 using four layers of duplicated trees of width four. This results in nearly one million blob entries in the index. Then, we can clone this repository with sparse-checkout patterns that demonstrate four copies of the initial repository. Each clone will use a different index format or mode so peformance can be tested across the different options. Note that the initial repo is stripped of submodules before doing the copies. This preserves the expected data shape of the sparse index, because directories containing submodules are not collapsed to a sparse directory entry. Run a few Git commands on these clones, especially those that use the index (status, add, commit). Here are the results on my Linux machine: Test -------------------------------------------------------------- 2000.2: git status (full-index-v3) 0.37(0.30+0.09) 2000.3: git status (full-index-v4) 0.39(0.32+0.10) 2000.4: git add -A (full-index-v3) 1.42(1.06+0.20) 2000.5: git add -A (full-index-v4) 1.26(0.98+0.16) 2000.6: git add . (full-index-v3) 1.40(1.04+0.18) 2000.7: git add . (full-index-v4) 1.26(0.98+0.17) 2000.8: git commit -a -m A (full-index-v3) 1.42(1.11+0.16) 2000.9: git commit -a -m A (full-index-v4) 1.33(1.08+0.16) It is perhaps noteworthy that there is an improvement when using index version 4. This is because the v3 index uses 108 MiB while the v4 index uses 80 MiB. Since the repeated portions of the directories are very short (f3/f1/f2, for example) this ratio is less pronounced than in similarly-sized real repositories.
