2021-01-18commit-graph: implement generation data chunkLibravatar Abhishek Kumar1-2/+2
As discovered by Ævar, we cannot increment graph version to distinguish between generation numbers v1 and v2 [1]. Thus, one of pre-requistes before implementing generation number v2 was to distinguish between graph versions in a backwards compatible manner. We are going to introduce a new chunk called Generation DATa chunk (or GDAT). GDAT will store corrected committer date offsets whereas CDAT will still store topological level. Old Git does not understand GDAT chunk and would ignore it, reading topological levels from CDAT. New Git can parse GDAT and take advantage of newer generation numbers, falling back to topological levels when GDAT chunk is missing (as it would happen with a commit-graph written by old Git). We introduce a test environment variable 'GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_NO_GDAT' which forces commit-graph file to be written without generation data chunk to emulate a commit-graph file written by old Git. To minimize the space required to store corrrected commit date, Git stores corrected commit date offsets into the commit-graph file, instea of corrected commit dates. This saves us 4 bytes per commit, decreasing the GDAT chunk size by half, but it's possible for the offset to overflow the 4-bytes allocated for storage. As such overflows are and should be exceedingly rare, we use the following overflow management scheme: We introduce a new commit-graph chunk, Generation Data OVerflow ('GDOV') to store corrected commit dates for commits with offsets greater than GENERATION_NUMBER_V2_OFFSET_MAX. If the offset is greater than GENERATION_NUMBER_V2_OFFSET_MAX, we set the MSB of the offset and the other bits store the position of corrected commit date in GDOV chunk, similar to how Extra Edge List is maintained. We test the overflow-related code with the following repo history: F - N - U / \ U - N - U N \ / N - F - N Where the commits denoted by U have committer date of zero seconds since Unix epoch, the commits denoted by N have committer date of 1112354055 (default committer date for the test suite) seconds since Unix epoch and the commits denoted by F have committer date of (2 ^ 31 - 2) seconds since Unix epoch. The largest offset observed is 2 ^ 31, just large enough to overflow.

2020-11-19t4*: adjust the references to the default branch name "main"Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-3/+3
Carefully excluding t4013 and t4015, which see independent development elsewhere at the time of writing, we use `main` as the default branch name in t4*.

2020-11-19tests: mark tests relying on the current default for `init.defaultBranch`Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+3
In addition to the manual adjustment to let the `linux-gcc` CI job run the test suite with `master` and then with `main`, this patch makes sure that GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME is set in all test scripts that currently rely on the initial branch name being `master by default. To determine which test scripts to mark up, the first step was to force-set the default branch name to `master` in - all test scripts that contain the keyword `master`, - t4211, which expects `t/t4211/history.export` with a hard-coded ref to initialize the default branch, - t5560 because it sources `t/t556x_common` which uses `master`, - t8002 and t8012 because both source `t/annotate-tests.sh` which also uses `master`) This trick was performed by this command: $ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/\(test-lib\|lib-\(bash\|cvs\|git-svn\)\|gitweb-lib\)\.sh$/i\ GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\ export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\ ' $(git grep -l master t/t[0-9]*.sh) \ t/t4211*.sh t/t5560*.sh t/t8002*.sh t/t8012*.sh After that, careful, manual inspection revealed that some of the test scripts containing the needle `master` do not actually rely on a specific default branch name: either they mention `master` only in a comment, or they initialize that branch specificially, or they do not actually refer to the current default branch. Therefore, the aforementioned modification was undone in those test scripts thusly: $ git checkout HEAD -- \ t/t0027-auto-crlf.sh t/t0060-path-utils.sh \ t/t1011-read-tree-sparse-checkout.sh \ t/t1305-config-include.sh t/t1309-early-config.sh \ t/t1402-check-ref-format.sh t/t1450-fsck.sh \ t/t2024-checkout-dwim.sh \ t/t2106-update-index-assume-unchanged.sh \ t/t3040-subprojects-basic.sh t/t3301-notes.sh \ t/t3308-notes-merge.sh t/t3423-rebase-reword.sh \ t/t3436-rebase-more-options.sh \ t/t4015-diff-whitespace.sh t/t4257-am-interactive.sh \ t/t5323-pack-redundant.sh t/t5401-update-hooks.sh \ t/t5511-refspec.sh t/t5526-fetch-submodules.sh \ t/t5529-push-errors.sh t/t5530-upload-pack-error.sh \ t/t5548-push-porcelain.sh \ t/t5552-skipping-fetch-negotiator.sh \ t/t5572-pull-submodule.sh t/t5608-clone-2gb.sh \ t/t5614-clone-submodules-shallow.sh \ t/t7508-status.sh t/t7606-merge-custom.sh \ t/t9302-fast-import-unpack-limit.sh We excluded one set of test scripts in these commands, though: the range of `git p4` tests. The reason? `git p4` stores the (foreign) remote branch in the branch called `p4/master`, which is obviously not the default branch.

2020-09-18builtin/commit-graph.c: introduce '--max-new-filters=<n>'Libravatar Taylor Blau1-0/+70
Introduce a command-line flag to specify the maximum number of new Bloom filters that a 'git commit-graph write' is willing to compute from scratch. Prior to this patch, a commit-graph write with '--changed-paths' would compute Bloom filters for all selected commits which haven't already been computed (i.e., by a previous commit-graph write with '--split' such that a roll-up or replacement is performed). This behavior can cause prohibitively-long commit-graph writes for a variety of reasons: * There may be lots of filters whose diffs take a long time to generate (for example, they have close to the maximum number of changes, diffing itself takes a long time, etc). * Old-style commit-graphs (which encode filters with too many entries as not having been computed at all) cause us to waste time recomputing filters that appear to have not been computed only to discover that they are too-large. This can make the upper-bound of the time it takes for 'git commit-graph write --changed-paths' to be rather unpredictable. To make this command behave more predictably, introduce '--max-new-filters=<n>' to allow computing at most '<n>' Bloom filters from scratch. This lets "computing" already-known filters proceed quickly, while bounding the number of slow tasks that Git is willing to do.

2020-09-17bloom: encode out-of-bounds filters as non-emptyLibravatar Taylor Blau1-2/+29
When a changed-path Bloom filter has either zero, or more than a certain number (commonly 512) of entries, the commit-graph machinery encodes it as "missing". More specifically, it sets the indices adjacent in the BIDX chunk as equal to each other to indicate a "length 0" filter; that is, that the filter occupies zero bytes on disk. This has heretofore been fine, since the commit-graph machinery has no need to care about these filters with too few or too many changed paths. Both cases act like no filter has been generated at all, and so there is no need to store them. In a subsequent commit, however, the commit-graph machinery will learn to only compute Bloom filters for some commits in the current commit-graph layer. This is a change from the current implementation which computes Bloom filters for all commits that are in the layer being written. Critically for this patch, only computing some of the Bloom filters means adding a third state for length 0 Bloom filters: zero entries, too many entries, or "hasn't been computed". It will be important for that future patch to distinguish between "not representable" (i.e., zero or too-many changed paths), and "hasn't been computed". In particular, we don't want to waste time recomputing filters that have already been computed. To that end, change how we store Bloom filters in the "computed but not representable" category: - Bloom filters with no entries are stored as a single byte with all bits low (i.e., all queries to that Bloom filter will return "definitely not") - Bloom filters with too many entries are stored as a single byte with all bits set high (i.e., all queries to that Bloom filter will return "maybe"). These rules are sufficient to not incur a behavior change by changing the on-disk representation of these two classes. Likewise, no specification changes are necessary for the commit-graph format, either: - Filters that were previously empty will be recomputed and stored according to the new rules, and - old clients reading filters generated by new clients will interpret the filters correctly and be none the wiser to how they were generated. Clients will invoke the Bloom machinery in more cases than before, but this can be addressed by returning a NULL filter when all bits are set high. This can be addressed in a future patch. Note that this does increase the size of on-disk commit-graphs, but far less than other proposals. In particular, this is generally more efficient than storing a bitmap for which commits haven't computed their Bloom filters. Storing a bitmap incurs a penalty of one bit per commit, whereas storing explicit filters as above incurs a penalty of one byte per too-large or empty commit. In practice, these boundary commits likely occupy a small proportion of the overall number of commits, and so the size penalty is likely smaller than storing a bitmap for all commits. See, for example, these relative proportions of such boundary commits (collected by SZEDER Gábor): | Percentage of | commit-graph | | | commits modifying | file size | | ├────────┬──────────────┼───────────────────┤ pct. | | 0 path | >= 512 paths | before | after | change | ┌────────────────┼────────┼──────────────┼─────────┼─────────┼───────────┤ | android-base | 13.20% | 0.13% | 37.468M | 37.534M | +0.1741 % | | cmssw | 0.15% | 0.23% | 17.118M | 17.119M | +0.0091 % | | cpython | 3.07% | 0.01% | 7.967M | 7.971M | +0.0423 % | | elasticsearch | 0.70% | 1.00% | 8.833M | 8.835M | +0.0128 % | | gcc | 0.00% | 0.08% | 16.073M | 16.074M | +0.0030 % | | gecko-dev | 0.14% | 0.64% | 59.868M | 59.874M | +0.0105 % | | git | 0.11% | 0.02% | 3.895M | 3.895M | +0.0020 % | | glibc | 0.02% | 0.10% | 3.555M | 3.555M | +0.0021 % | | go | 0.00% | 0.07% | 3.186M | 3.186M | +0.0018 % | | homebrew-cask | 0.40% | 0.02% | 7.035M | 7.035M | +0.0065 % | | homebrew-core | 0.01% | 0.01% | 11.611M | 11.611M | +0.0002 % | | jdk | 0.26% | 5.64% | 5.537M | 5.540M | +0.0590 % | | linux | 0.01% | 0.51% | 63.735M | 63.740M | +0.0073 % | | llvm-project | 0.12% | 0.03% | 25.515M | 25.516M | +0.0050 % | | rails | 0.10% | 0.10% | 6.252M | 6.252M | +0.0027 % | | rust | 0.07% | 0.17% | 9.364M | 9.364M | +0.0033 % | | tensorflow | 0.09% | 1.02% | 7.009M | 7.010M | +0.0158 % | | webkit | 0.05% | 0.31% | 17.405M | 17.406M | +0.0047 % | (where the above increase is determined by computing a non-split commit-graph before and after this patch). Given that these projects are all "large" by commit count, the storage cost by writing these filters explicitly is negligible. In the most extreme example, android-base (which has 494,848 commits at the time of writing) would have its commit-graph increase by a modest 68.4 KB. Finally, a test to exercise filters which contain too many changed path entries will be introduced in a subsequent patch.

2020-09-17bloom/diff: properly short-circuit on max_changesLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-9/+91
Commit e3696980 (diff: halt tree-diff early after max_changes, 2020-03-30) intended to create a mechanism to short-circuit a diff calculation after a certain number of paths were modified. By incrementing a "num_changes" counter throughout the recursive ll_diff_tree_paths(), this was supposed to match the number of changes that would be written into the changed-path Bloom filters. Unfortunately, this was not implemented correctly and instead misses simple cases like file modifications. This then does not stop very large changed-path filters from being written (unless they add or remove many files). To start, change the implementation in ll_diff_tree_paths() to instead use the global diff_queue_diff struct's 'nr' member as the count. This is a way to simplify the logic instead of making more mistakes in the complicated diff code. This has a drawback: the diff_queue_diff struct only lists the paths corresponding to blob changes, not their leading directories. Thus, get_or_compute_bloom_filter() needs an additional check to see if the hashmap with the leading directories becomes too large. One reason why this was not caught by test cases was that the test in t4216-log-bloom.sh that was supposed to check this "too many changes" condition only checked this on the initial commit of a repository. The old logic counted these values correctly. Update this test in a few ways: 1. Use GIT_TEST_BLOOM_SETTINGS_MAX_CHANGED_PATHS to reduce the limit, allowing smaller commits to engage with this logic. 2. Create several interesting cases of edits, adds, removes, and mode changes (in the second commit). By testing both sides of the inequality with the *_MAX_CHANGED_PATHS variable, we can see that the count is exactly correct, so none of these changes are missed or over-counted. 3. Use the trace2 data value filter_found_large to verify that these commits are on the correct side of the limit. Another way to verify the behavior is correct is through performance tests. By testing on my local copies of the Git repository and the Linux kernel repository, I could measure the effect of these short-circuits when computing a fresh commit-graph file with changed-path Bloom filters using the command GIT_TEST_BLOOM_SETTINGS_MAX_CHANGED_PATHS=N time \ git commit-graph write --reachable --changed-paths and reporting the wall time and resulting commit-graph size. For Git, the results are | | N=1 | N=10 | N=512 | |--------|----------------|----------------|----------------| | HEAD~1 | 10.90s 9.18MB | 11.11s 9.34MB | 11.31s 9.35MB | | HEAD | 9.21s 8.62MB | 11.11s 9.29MB | 11.29s 9.34MB | For Linux, the results are | | N=1 | N=20 | N=512 | |--------|----------------|---------------|---------------| | HEAD~1 | 61.28s 64.3MB | 76.9s 72.6MB | 77.6s 72.6MB | | HEAD | 49.44s 56.3MB | 68.7s 65.9MB | 69.2s 65.9MB | Naturally, the improvement becomes much less as the limit grows, as fewer commits satisfy the short-circuit.

For now, we assume that there is a fixed constant describing the maximum number of changed paths we are willing to store in a Bloom filter. Prepare for that to (at least partially) not be the case by making it a member of the 'struct bloom_filter_settings'. This will be helpful in the subsequent patches by reducing the size of test cases that exercise storing too many changed paths, as well as preparing for an eventual future in which this value might change. This patch alone does not cause newly generated Bloom filters to use a custom upper-bound on the maximum number of changed paths a single Bloom filter can hold, that will occur in a later patch.

2020-09-09commit-graph: respect 'commitGraph.readChangedPaths'Libravatar Taylor Blau1-1/+3
Git uses the 'core.commitGraph' configuration value to control whether or not the commit graph is used when parsing commits or performing a traversal. Now that commit-graphs can also contain a section for changed-path Bloom filters, administrators that already have commit-graphs may find it convenient to use those graphs without relying on their changed-path Bloom filters. This can happen, for example, during a staged roll-out, or in the event of an incident. Introduce 'commitGraph.readChangedPaths' to control whether or not Bloom filters are read. Note that this configuration is independent from both: - 'core.commitGraph', to allow flexibility in using all parts of a commit-graph _except_ for its Bloom filters. - The '--changed-paths' option for 'git commit-graph write', to allow reading and writing Bloom filters to be controlled independently. When the variable is set, pretend as if no Bloom data was specified at all. This avoids adding additional special-casing outside of the commit-graph internals.

In a759bfa9ee (t4216: add end to end tests for git log with Bloom filters, 2020-04-06), a 'rm' invocation was added without a corresponding '&&' chain. When 'trace.perf' already exists, everything works fine. However, the function can be executed without 'trace.perf' on disk (eg., when the subset of tests run is altered with '--run'), and so the bare 'rm' complains about a missing file. To remove some noise from the test log, invoke 'rm' with '-f', at which point it is sensible to place the 'rm -f' in an '&&'-chain, which is both (1) our usual style, and (2) avoids a broken chain in the future if more commands are added at the beginning of the function.

2020-09-09commit-graph: introduce 'get_bloom_filter_settings()'Libravatar Taylor Blau1-3/+6
Many places in the code often need a pointer to the commit-graph's 'struct bloom_filter_settings', in which case they often take the value from the top-most commit-graph. In the non-split case, this works as expected. In the split case, however, things get a little tricky. Not all layers in a chain of incremental commit-graphs are required to themselves have Bloom data, and so whether or not some part of the code uses Bloom filters depends entirely on whether or not the top-most level of the commit-graph chain has Bloom filters. This has been the behavior since Bloom filters were introduced, and has been codified into the tests since a759bfa9ee (t4216: add end to end tests for git log with Bloom filters, 2020-04-06). In fact, t4216.130 requires that Bloom filters are not used in exactly the case described earlier. There is no reason that this needs to be the case, since it is perfectly valid for commits in an earlier layer to have Bloom filters when commits in a newer layer do not. Since Bloom settings are guaranteed in practice to be the same for any layer in a chain that has Bloom data, it is sufficient to traverse the '->base_graph' pointer until either (1) a non-null 'struct bloom_filter_settings *' is found, or (2) until we are at the root of the commit-graph chain. Introduce a 'get_bloom_filter_settings()' function that does just this, and use it instead of purely dereferencing the top-most graph's '->bloom_filter_settings' pointer. While we're at it, add an additional test in t5324 to guard against code in the commit-graph writing machinery that doesn't correctly handle a NULL 'struct bloom_filter *'.

2020-08-17commit-graph: use the "hash version" byteLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-2/+7
The commit-graph format reserved a byte among the header of the file to store a "hash version". During the SHA-256 work, this was not modified because file formats are not necessarily intended to work across hash versions. If a repository has SHA-256 as its hash algorithm, it automatically up-shifts the lengths of object names in all necessary formats. However, since we have this byte available for adjusting the version, we can make the file formats more obviously incompatible instead of relying on other context from the repository. Update the oid_version() method in commit-graph.c to add a new value, 2, for sha-256. This automatically writes the new value in a SHA-256 repository _and_ verifies the value is correct. This is a breaking change relative to the current 'master' branch since 092b677 (Merge branch 'bc/sha-256-cvs-svn-updates', 2020-08-13) but it is not breaking relative to any released version of Git. The test impact is relatively minor: the output of 'test-tool read-graph' lists the header information, so those instances of '1' need to be replaced with a variable determined by GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_HASH. A more careful test is added that specifically creates a repository of each type then swaps the commit-graph files. The important value here is that the "git log" command succeeds while writing a message to stderr.

2020-07-01commit-graph: check all leading directories in changed path Bloom filtersLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-1/+1
The file 'dir/subdir/file' can only be modified if its leading directories 'dir' and 'dir/subdir' are modified as well. So when checking modified path Bloom filters looking for commits modifying a path with multiple path components, then check not only the full path in the Bloom filters, but all its leading directories as well. Take care to check these paths in "deepest first" order, because it's the full path that is least likely to be modified, and the Bloom filter queries can short circuit sooner. This can significantly reduce the average false positive rate, by about an order of magnitude or three(!), and can further speed up pathspec-limited revision walks. The table below compares the average false positive rate and runtime of git rev-list HEAD -- "$path" before and after this change for 5000+ randomly* selected paths from each repository: Average false Average Average positive rate runtime runtime before after before after difference ------------------------------------------------------------------ git 3.220% 0.7853% 0.0558s 0.0387s -30.6% linux 2.453% 0.0296% 0.1046s 0.0766s -26.8% tensorflow 2.536% 0.6977% 0.0594s 0.0420s -29.2% *Path selection was done with the following pipeline: git ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD | sort -R | head -n 5000 The improvements in runtime are much smaller than the improvements in average false positive rate, as we are clearly reaching diminishing returns here.

If we had a partial clone and the tree objects had to be fetched from a promisor remote, e.g.: $ git clone --filter=tree:0 --bare file://.../webkit.git webkit.notrees.git $ git -C webkit.git -c core.modifiedPathBloomFilters=1 \ commit-graph write --reachable $ cp webkit.git/objects/info/commit-graph webkit.notrees.git/objects/info/ $ git -C webkit.notrees.git -c core.modifiedPathBloomFilters=1 \ rev-list HEAD -- "$path" then checking all leading path component can reduce the runtime from over an hour to a few seconds (and this is with the clone and the promisor on the same machine). This adjusts the tracing values in t4216-log-bloom.sh, which provides a concrete way to notice the improvement.

2020-07-01revision: empty pathspecs should not use Bloom filtersLibravatar Taylor Blau1-0/+4
The prepare_to_use_bloom_filter() method was not intended to be called on an empty pathspec. However, 'git log -- .' and 'git log' are subtly different: the latter reports all commits while the former will simplify commits that do not change the root tree. This means that the path used to construct the bloom_key might be empty, and that value is not added to the Bloom filter during construction. That means that the results are likely incorrect! To resolve the issue, be careful about the length of the path and stop filling Bloom filters. To be completely sure we do not use them, drop the pointer to the bloom_filter_settings from the commit-graph. That allows our test to look at the trace2 logs to verify no Bloom filter statistics are reported.

2020-07-01commit-graph: persist existence of changed-pathsLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-1/+16
The changed-path Bloom filters were released in v2.27.0, but have a significant drawback. A user can opt-in to writing the changed-path filters using the "--changed-paths" option to "git commit-graph write" but the next write will drop the filters unless that option is specified. This becomes even more important when considering the interaction with gc.writeCommitGraph (on by default) or fetch.writeCommitGraph (part of features.experimental). These config options trigger commit-graph writes that the user did not signal, and hence there is no --changed-paths option available. Allow a user that opts-in to the changed-path filters to persist the property of "my commit-graph has changed-path filters" automatically. A user can drop filters using the --no-changed-paths option. In the process, we need to be extremely careful to match the Bloom filter settings as specified by the commit-graph. This will allow future versions of Git to customize these settings, and the version with this change will persist those settings as commit-graphs are rewritten on top. Use the trace2 API to signal the settings used during the write, and check that output in a test after manually adjusting the correct bytes in the commit-graph file.

2020-07-01bloom: fix logic in get_bloom_filter()Libravatar Derrick Stolee1-2/+22
The get_bloom_filter() method is a bit complicated in some parts where it does not need to be. In particular, it needs to return a NULL filter only when compute_if_not_present is zero AND the filter data cannot be loaded from a commit-graph file. This currently happens by accident because the commit-graph does not load changed-path Bloom filters from an existing commit-graph when writing a new one. This will change in a later patch. Also clean up some style issues while we are here. One side-effect of returning a NULL filter is that the filters that are reported as "too large" will now be reported as NULL insead of length zero. This case was not properly covered before, so add a test. Further, remote the counting of the zero-length filters from revision.c and the trace2 logs.

2020-05-20t4216: avoid unnecessary subshell in test_bloom_filters_not_usedLibravatar Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón1-1/+1
Seems to trigger a bug in at least OpenBSD's 6.7 sh where it is interpreted as a history lookup and therefore fails 125-126, 128, 130. Remove the subshell and get a space between ! and grep, so tests pass successfully. Signed-off-by: Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón <carenas@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2020-04-06t4216: add end to end tests for git log with Bloom filtersLibravatar Garima Singh1-0/+155
These tests exercises writing commit graph with Bloom filters and exercises 'git log -- path' with all the applicable options. They check that the output is the same with and without Bloom filters, confirm Bloom filters were used by checking if trace2 statistics were logged correctly. Also confirms cases where Bloom filters are not used: 1. Multiple path specs, 2. --walk-reflogs (see patch titled 'revision.c: use Bloom filters...' for details, 3.
