2018-08-27tests: fix and add lint for non-portable head -c NLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+1
The "head -c BYTES" option is non-portable (not in POSIX[1]). Change such invocations to use the test_copy_bytes wrapper added in 48860819e8 ("t9300: factor out portable "head -c" replacement", 2016-06-30). This fixes a test added in 9d2e330b17 ("ewah_read_mmap: bounds-check mmap reads", 2018-06-14), which has been breaking t5310-pack-bitmaps.sh on OpenBSD since 2.18.0. The OpenBSD ports already have a similar workaround after their upgrade to 2.18.0[2]. I have not tested this on IRIX, but according to 4de0bbd898 ("t9300: use perl "head -c" clone in place of "dd bs=1 count=16000" kluge", 2010-12-13) this invocation would have broken things there too. Also, change a valgrind-specific codepath in test-lib.sh to use this wrapper. Given where valgrind runs I don't think this would ever become a portability issue in practice, but it's easier to just use the wrapper than introduce some exception for the "make test-lint" check being added here. 1. http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/head.html 2. https://github.com/openbsd/ports/commit/08d5d82eaefe5cf2f125ecc0c6a57df9cf91350c#diff-f7d3c4fabeed1691620d608f1534f5e5 Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2018-08-14t5310-pack-bitmaps: fix bogus 'pack-objects to file can use bitmap' testLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-3/+4
The test 'pack-objects to file can use bitmap' added in 645c432d61 (pack-objects: use reachability bitmap index when generating non-stdout pack, 2016-09-10) is silently buggy and doesn't check what it's supposed to. In 't5310-pack-bitmaps.sh', the 'list_packed_objects' helper function does what its name implies by running: git show-index <"$1" | cut -d' ' -f2 The test in question invokes this function like this: list_packed_objects <packa-$packasha1.idx >packa.objects && list_packed_objects <packb-$packbsha1.idx >packb.objects && test_cmp packa.objects packb.objects Note how these two callsites don't specify the name of the pack index file as the function's parameter, but redirect the function's standard input from it. This triggers an error message from the shell, as it has no filename to redirect from in the function, but this error is ignored, because it happens upstream of a pipe. Consequently, both invocations produce empty 'pack{a,b}.objects' files, and the subsequent 'test_cmp' happily finds those two empty files identical. Fix these two 'list_packed_objects' invocations by specifying the pack index files as parameters. Furthermore, eliminate the pipe in that function by replacing it with an &&-chained pair of commands using an intermediate file, so a failure of 'git show-index' or the shell redirection will fail the test.

2018-06-18ewah_read_mmap: bounds-check mmap readsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+13
The on-disk ewah format tells us how big the ewah data is, and we blindly read that much from the buffer without considering whether the mmap'd data is long enough, which can lead to out-of-bound reads. Let's make sure we have data available before reading it, both for the ewah header/footer as well as for the bit data itself. In particular: - keep our ptr/len pair in sync as we move through the buffer, and check it before each read - check the size for integer overflow (this should be impossible on 64-bit, as the size is given as a 32-bit count of 8-byte words, but is possible on a 32-bit system) - return the number of bytes read as an ssize_t instead of an int, again to prevent integer overflow - compute the return value using a pointer difference; this should yield the same result as the existing code, but makes it more obvious that we got our computations right The included test is far from comprehensive, as it just picks a static point at which to truncate the generated bitmap. But in practice this will hit in the middle of an ewah and make sure we're at least exercising this code.

2017-05-09pack-objects: disable pack reuse for object-selection optionsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+38
If certain options like --honor-pack-keep, --local, or --incremental are used with pack-objects, then we need to feed each potential object to want_object_in_pack() to see if it should be filtered out. But when the bitmap reuse_packfile optimization is in effect, we do not call that function at all, and in fact skip adding the objects to the to_pack list entirely. This means we have a bug: for certain requests we will silently ignore those options and include objects in that pack that should not be there. The problem has been present since the inception of the pack-reuse code in 6b8fda2db (pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects, 2013-12-21), but it was unlikely to come up in practice. These options are generally used for on-disk packing, not transfer packs (which go to stdout), but we've never allowed pack reuse for non-stdout packs (until 645c432d6, we did not even use bitmaps, which the reuse optimization relies on; after that, we explicitly turned it off when not packing to stdout). We can fix this by just disabling the reuse_packfile optimization when the options are in use. In theory we could teach the pack-reuse code to satisfy these checks, but it's not worth the complexity. The purpose of the optimization is to keep the amount of per-object work we do to a minimum. But these options inherently require us to search for other copies of each object, drowning out any benefit of the pack-reuse optimization. But note that the optimizations from 56dfeb626 (pack-objects: compute local/ignore_pack_keep early, 2016-07-29) happen before pack-reuse, meaning that specifying "--honor-pack-keep" in a repository with no .keep files can still follow the fast path. There are tests in t5310 that check these options with bitmaps and --stdout, but they didn't catch the bug, and it's hard to adapt them to do so. One problem is that they don't use --delta-base-offset; without that option, we always disable the reuse optimization entirely. It would be fine to add it in (it actually makes the test more realistic), but that still isn't quite enough. The other problem is that the reuse code is very picky; it only kicks in when it can reuse most of a pack, starting from the first byte. So we'd have to start from a fully repacked and bitmapped state to trigger it. But the tests for these options use a much more subtle state; they want to be sure that the want_object_in_pack() code is allowing some objects but not others. Doing a full repack runs counter to that. So this patch adds new tests at the end of the script which create the fully-packed state and make sure that each option is not fooled by reusable pack.

2016-09-12pack-objects: use reachability bitmap index when generating non-stdout packLibravatar Kirill Smelkov1-0/+12
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`.

2016-09-12pack-objects: respect --local/--honor-pack-keep/--incremental when bitmap is ↵Libravatar Kirill Smelkov1-0/+92
in use Since 6b8fda2d (pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects) there are two codepaths in pack-objects: with & without using bitmap reachability index. However add_object_entry_from_bitmap(), despite its non-bitmapped counterpart add_object_entry(), in no way does check for whether --local or --honor-pack-keep or --incremental should be respected. In non-bitmapped codepath this is handled in want_object_in_pack(), but bitmapped codepath has simply no such checking at all. The bitmapped codepath however was allowing to pass in all those options and with bitmap indices still being used under such conditions - potentially giving wrong output (e.g. including objects from non-local or .keep'ed pack). We can easily fix this by noting the following: when an object comes to add_object_entry_from_bitmap() it can come for two reasons: 1. entries coming from main pack covered by bitmap index, and 2. object coming from, possibly alternate, loose or other packs. "2" can be already handled by want_object_in_pack() and to cover "1" we can teach want_object_in_pack() to expect that *found_pack can be non-NULL, meaning calling client already found object's pack entry. In want_object_in_pack() we care to start the checks from already found pack, if we have one, this way determining the answer right away in case neither --local nor --honour-pack-keep are active. In particular, as p5310-pack-bitmaps.sh shows (3 consecutive runs), we do not do harm to served-with-bitmap clones performance-wise: Test 56dfeb62 this tree ----------------------------------------------------------------- 5310.2: repack to disk 9.08(8.20+0.25) 9.09(8.14+0.32) +0.1% 5310.3: simulated clone 1.92(2.12+0.08) 1.93(2.12+0.09) +0.5% 5310.4: simulated fetch 0.82(1.07+0.04) 0.82(1.06+0.04) +0.0% 5310.6: partial bitmap 1.96(2.42+0.13) 1.95(2.40+0.15) -0.5% Test 56dfeb62 this tree ----------------------------------------------------------------- 5310.2: repack to disk 9.11(8.16+0.32) 9.11(8.19+0.28) +0.0% 5310.3: simulated clone 1.93(2.14+0.07) 1.92(2.11+0.10) -0.5% 5310.4: simulated fetch 0.82(1.06+0.04) 0.82(1.04+0.05) +0.0% 5310.6: partial bitmap 1.95(2.38+0.16) 1.94(2.39+0.14) -0.5% Test 56dfeb62 this tree ----------------------------------------------------------------- 5310.2: repack to disk 9.13(8.17+0.31) 9.07(8.13+0.28) -0.7% 5310.3: simulated clone 1.92(2.13+0.07) 1.91(2.12+0.06) -0.5% 5310.4: simulated fetch 0.82(1.08+0.03) 0.82(1.08+0.03) +0.0% 5310.6: partial bitmap 1.96(2.43+0.14) 1.96(2.42+0.14) +0.0% with delta timings showing they are all within noise from run to run. In the general case we do not want to call find_pack_entry_one() more than once, because it is expensive. This patch splits the loop in want_object_in_pack() into two parts: finding the object and seeing if it impacts our choice to include it in the pack. We may call the inexpensive want_found_object() twice, but we will never call find_pack_entry_one() if we do not need to.

2016-06-03rev-list: "adjust" results of "--count --use-bitmap-index -n"Libravatar Jeff King1-0/+6
If you ask rev-list for: git rev-list --count --use-bitmap-index HEAD we optimize out the actual traversal and just give you the number of bits set in the commit bitmap. This is faster, which is good. But if you ask to limit the size of the traversal, like: git rev-list --count --use-bitmap-index -n 100 HEAD we'll still output the full bitmapped number we found. On the surface, that might even seem OK. You explicitly asked to use the bitmap index, and it was cheap to compute the real answer, so we gave it to you. But there's something much more complicated going on under the hood. If we don't have a bitmap directly for HEAD, then we have to actually traverse backwards, looking for a bitmapped commit. And _that_ traversal is bounded by our `-n` count. This is a good thing, because it bounds the work we have to do, which is probably what the user wanted by asking for `-n`. But now it makes the output quite confusing. You might get many values: - your `-n` value, if we walked back and never found a bitmap (or fewer if there weren't that many commits) - the actual full count, if we found a bitmap root for every path of our traversal with in the `-n` limit - any number in between! We might have walked back and found _some_ bitmaps, but then cut off the traversal early with some commits not accounted for in the result. So you cannot even see a value higher than your `-n` and say "OK, bitmaps kicked in, this must be the real full count". The only sane thing is for git to just clamp the value to a maximum of the `-n` value, which means we should output the exact same results whether bitmaps are in use or not. The test in t5310 demonstrates this by using `-n 1`. Without this patch we fail in the full-bitmap case (where we do not have to traverse at all) but _not_ in the partial-bitmap case (where we have to walk down to find an actual bitmap). With this patch, both cases just work. I didn't implement the crazy in-between case, just because it's complicated to set up, and is really a subset of the full-count case, which we do cover.

Let's give it the more sensible name, but keep the old version as a deprecated synonym. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-04-04add `ignore_missing_links` mode to revwalkLibravatar Vicent Marti1-0/+31
When pack-objects is computing the reachability bitmap to serve a fetch request, it can erroneously die() if some of the UNINTERESTING objects are not present. Upload-pack throws away HAVE lines from the client for objects we do not have, but we may have a tip object without all of its ancestors (e.g., if the tip is no longer reachable and was new enough to survive a `git prune`, but some of its reachable objects did get pruned). In the non-bitmap case, we do a revision walk with the HAVE objects marked as UNINTERESTING. The revision walker explicitly ignores errors in accessing UNINTERESTING commits to handle this case (and we do not bother looking at UNINTERESTING trees or blobs at all). When we have bitmaps, however, the process is quite different. The bitmap index for a pack-objects run is calculated in two separate steps: First, we perform an extensive walk from all the HAVEs to find the full set of objects reachable from them. This walk is usually optimized away because we are expected to hit an object with a bitmap during the traversal, which allows us to terminate early. Secondly, we perform an extensive walk from all the WANTs, which usually also terminates early because we hit a commit with an existing bitmap. Once we have the resulting bitmaps from the two walks, we AND-NOT them together to obtain the resulting set of objects we need to pack. When we are walking the HAVE objects, the revision walker does not know that we are walking it only to mark the results as uninteresting. We strip out the UNINTERESTING flag, because those objects _are_ interesting to us during the first walk. We want to keep going to get a complete set of reachable objects if we can. We need some way to tell the revision walker that it's OK to silently truncate the HAVE walk, just like it does for the UNINTERESTING case. This patch introduces a new `ignore_missing_links` flag to the `rev_info` struct, which we set only for the HAVE walk. It also adds tests to cover UNINTERESTING objects missing from several positions: a missing blob, a missing tree, and a missing parent commit. The missing blob already worked (as we do not care about its contents at all), but the other two cases caused us to die(). Note that there are a few cases we do not need to test: 1. We do not need to test a missing tree, with the blob still present. Without the tree that refers to it, we would not know that the blob is relevant to our walk. 2. We do not need to test a tip commit that is missing. Upload-pack omits these for us (and in fact, we complain even in the non-bitmap case if it fails to do so).

2014-03-17pack-objects: turn off bitmaps when skipping objectsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+4
The pack bitmap format requires that we have a single bit for each object in the pack, and that each object's bitmap represents its complete set of reachable objects. Therefore we have no way to represent the bitmap of an object which references objects outside the pack. We notice this problem while generating the bitmaps, as we try to find the offset of a particular object and realize that we do not have it. In this case we die, and neither the bitmap nor the pack is generated. This is correct, but perhaps a little unfriendly. If you have bitmaps turned on in the config, many repacks will fail which would otherwise succeed. E.g., incremental repacks, repacks with "-l" when you have alternates, ".keep" files. Instead, this patch notices early that we are omitting some objects from the pack and turns off bitmaps (with a warning). Note that this is not strictly correct, as it's possible that the object being omitted is not reachable from any other object in the pack. In practice, this is almost never the case, and there are two advantages to doing it this way: 1. The code is much simpler, as we do not have to cleanly abort the bitmap-generation process midway through. 2. We do not waste time partially generating bitmaps only to find out that some object deep in the history is not being packed.

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. And we save time on the partial bitmap clone for the same reason.

2013-12-30t: add basic bitmap functionality testsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+138
Now that we can read and write bitmaps, we can exercise them with some basic functionality tests. These tests aren't particularly useful for seeing the benefit, as the test repo is too small for it to make a difference. However, we can at least check that using bitmaps does not break anything.
