Move a function added to test-lib-functions.sh in ea047a8eb4f (t5310:
factor out bitmap traversal comparison, 2020-02-14) into a new
lib-bitmap.sh.
The test-lib-functions.sh file should be for functions that are widely
used across the test suite, if something's only used by a few tests it
makes more sense to have it in a lib-*.sh file.

The previous commits improved the bitmap computation process for very
long, linear histories with many refs by removing quadratic growth in
how many objects were walked. The strategy of computing "intermediate
commits" using bitmasks for which refs can reach those commits
partitioned the poset of reachable objects so each part could be walked
exactly once. This was effective for linear histories.
However, there was a (significant) drawback: wide histories with many
refs had an explosion of memory costs to compute the commit bitmasks
during the exploration that discovers these intermediate commits. Since
these wide histories are unlikely to repeat walking objects, the benefit
of walking objects multiple times was not expensive before. But now, the
commit walk *before computing bitmaps* is incredibly expensive.
In an effort to discover a happy medium, this change reduces the walk
for intermediate commits to only the first-parent history. This focuses
the walk on how the histories converge, which still has significant
reduction in repeat object walks. It is still possible to create
quadratic behavior in this version, but it is probably less likely in
realistic data shapes.
Here is some data taken on a fresh clone of the kernel:

The bitmap_writer_build() method calls bitmap_builder_init() to
construct a list of commits reachable from the selected commits along
with a "reverse graph". This reverse graph has edges pointing from a
commit to other commits that can reach that commit. After computing a
reachability bitmap for a commit, the values in that bitmap are then
copied to the reachability bitmaps across the edges in the reverse
graph.
We can now relax the role of the reverse graph to greatly reduce the
number of intermediate reachability bitmaps we compute during this
reverse walk. The end result is that we walk objects the same number of
times as before when constructing the reachability bitmaps, but we also
spend much less time copying bits between bitmaps and have much lower
memory pressure in the process.
The core idea is to select a set of "important" commits based on
interactions among the sets of commits reachable from each selected commit.
The first technical concept is to create a new 'commit_mask' member in the
bb_commit struct. Note that the selected commits are provided in an
ordered array. The first thing to do is to mark the ith bit in the
commit_mask for the ith selected commit. As we walk the commit-graph, we
copy the bits in a commit's commit_mask to its parents. At the end of
the walk, the ith bit in the commit_mask for a commit C stores a boolean
representing "The ith selected commit can reach C."
As we walk, we will discover non-selected commits that are important. We
will get into this later, but those important commits must also receive
bit positions, growing the width of the bitmasks as we walk. At the true
end of the walk, the ith bit means "the ith _important_ commit can reach
C."
MAXIMAL COMMITS
---------------
We use a new 'maximal' bit in the bb_commit struct to represent whether
a commit is important or not. The term "maximal" comes from the
partially-ordered set of commits in the commit-graph where C >= P if P
is a parent of C, and then extending the relationship transitively.
Instead of taking the maximal commits across the entire commit-graph, we
instead focus on selecting each commit that is maximal among commits
with the same bits on in their commit_mask. This definition is
important, so let's consider an example.
Suppose we have three selected commits A, B, and C. These are assigned
bitmasks 100, 010, and 001 to start. Each of these can be marked as
maximal immediately because they each will be the uniquely maximal
commit that contains their own bit. Keep in mind that that these commits
may have different bitmasks after the walk; for example, if B can reach
C but A cannot, then the final bitmask for C is 011. Even in these
cases, C would still be a maximal commit among all commits with the
third bit on in their masks.
Now define sets X, Y, and Z to be the sets of commits reachable from A,
B, and C, respectively. The intersections of these sets correspond to
different bitmasks:
* 100: X - (Y union Z)
* 010: Y - (X union Z)
* 001: Z - (X union Y)
* 110: (X intersect Y) - Z
* 101: (X intersect Z) - Y
* 011: (Y intersect Z) - X
* 111: X intersect Y intersect Z
This can be visualized with the following Hasse diagram:
100 010 001
| \ / \ / |
| \/ \/ |
| /\ /\ |
| / \ / \ |
110 101 011
\___ | ___/
\ | /
111
Some of these bitmasks may not be represented, depending on the topology
of the commit-graph. In fact, we are counting on it, since the number of
possible bitmasks is exponential in the number of selected commits, but
is also limited by the total number of commits. In practice, very few
bitmasks are possible because most commits converge on a common "trunk"
in the commit history.
With this three-bit example, we wish to find commits that are maximal
for each bitmask. How can we identify this as we are walking?
As we walk, we visit a commit C. Since we are walking the commits in
topo-order, we know that C is visited after all of its children are
visited. Thus, when we get C from the revision walk we inspect the
'maximal' property of its bb_data and use that to determine if C is truly
important. Its commit_mask is also nearly final. If C is not one of the
originally-selected commits, then assign a bit position to C (by
incrementing num_maximal) and set that bit on in commit_mask. See
"MULTIPLE MAXIMAL COMMITS" below for more detail on this.
Now that the commit C is known to be maximal or not, consider each
parent P of C. Compute two new values:
* c_not_p : true if and only if the commit_mask for C contains a bit
that is not contained in the commit_mask for P.
* p_not_c : true if and only if the commit_mask for P contains a bit
that is not contained in the commit_mask for P.
If c_not_p is false, then P already has all of the bits that C would
provide to its commit_mask. In this case, move on to other parents as C
has nothing to contribute to P's state that was not already provided by
other children of P.
We continue with the case that c_not_p is true. This means there are
bits in C's commit_mask to copy to P's commit_mask, so use bitmap_or()
to add those bits.
If p_not_c is also true, then set the maximal bit for P to one. This means
that if no other commit has P as a parent, then P is definitely maximal.
This is because no child had the same bitmask. It is important to think
about the maximal bit for P at this point as a temporary state: "P is
maximal based on current information."
In contrast, if p_not_c is false, then set the maximal bit for P to
zero. Further, clear all reverse_edges for P since any edges that were
previously assigned to P are no longer important. P will gain all
reverse edges based on C.
The final thing we need to do is to update the reverse edges for P.
These reverse edges respresent "which closest maximal commits
contributed bits to my commit_mask?" Since C contributed bits to P's
commit_mask in this case, C must add to the reverse edges of P.
If C is maximal, then C is a 'closest' maximal commit that contributed
bits to P. Add C to P's reverse_edges list.
Otherwise, C has a list of maximal commits that contributed bits to its
bitmask (and this list is exactly one element). Add all of these items
to P's reverse_edges list. Be careful to ignore duplicates here.
After inspecting all parents P for a commit C, we can clear the
commit_mask for C. This reduces the memory load to be limited to the
"width" of the commit graph.
Consider our ABC/XYZ example from earlier and let's inspect the state of
the commits for an interesting bitmask, say 011. Suppose that D is the
only maximal commit with this bitmask (in the first three bits). All
other commits with bitmask 011 have D as the only entry in their
reverse_edges list. D's reverse_edges list contains B and C.
COMPUTING REACHABILITY BITMAPS
------------------------------
Now that we have our definition, let's zoom out and consider what
happens with our new reverse graph when computing reachability bitmaps.
We walk the reverse graph in reverse-topo-order, so we visit commits
with largest commit_masks first. After we compute the reachability
bitmap for a commit C, we push the bits in that bitmap to each commit D
in the reverse edge list for C. Then, when we finally visit D we already
have the bits for everything reachable from maximal commits that D can
reach and we only need to walk the objects in the set-difference.
In our ABC/XYZ example, when we finally walk for the commit A we only
need to walk commits with bitmask equal to A's bitmask. If that bitmask
is 100, then we are only walking commits in X - (Y union Z) because the
bitmap already contains the bits for objects reachable from (X intersect
Y) union (X intersect Z) (i.e. the bits from the reachability bitmaps
for the maximal commits with bitmasks 110 and 101).
The behavior is intended to walk each commit (and the trees that commit
introduces) at most once while allocating and copying fewer reachability
bitmaps. There is one caveat: what happens when there are multiple
maximal commits with the same bitmask, with respect to the initial set
of selected commits?
MULTIPLE MAXIMAL COMMITS
------------------------
Earlier, we mentioned that when we discover a new maximal commit, we
assign a new bit position to that commit and set that bit position to
one for that commit. This is absolutely important for interesting
commit-graphs such as git/git and torvalds/linux. The reason is due to
the existence of "butterflies" in the commit-graph partial order.
Here is an example of four commits forming a butterfly:
I J
|\ /|
| \/ |
| /\ |
|/ \|
M N
\ /
|/
Q
Here, I and J both have parents M and N. In general, these do not need
to be exact parent relationships, but reachability relationships. The
most important part is that M and N cannot reach each other, so they are
independent in the partial order. If I had commit_mask 10 and J had
commit_mask 01, then M and N would both be assigned commit_mask 11 and
be maximal commits with the bitmask 11. Then, what happens when M and N
can both reach a commit Q? If Q is also assigned the bitmask 11, then it
is not maximal but is reachable from both M and N.
While this is not necessarily a deal-breaker for our abstract definition
of finding maximal commits according to a given bitmask, we have a few
issues that can come up in our larger picture of constructing
reachability bitmaps.
In particular, if we do not also consider Q to be a "maximal" commit,
then we will walk commits reachable from Q twice: once when computing
the reachability bitmap for M and another time when computing the
reachability bitmap for N. This becomes much worse if the topology
continues this pattern with multiple butterflies.
The solution has already been mentioned: each of M and N are assigned
their own bits to the bitmask and hence they become uniquely maximal for
their bitmasks. Finally, Q also becomes maximal and thus we do not need
to walk its commits multiple times. The final bitmasks for these commits
are as follows:
I:10 J:01
|\ /|
| \ _____/ |
| /\____ |
|/ \ |
M:111 N:1101
\ /
Q:1111
Further, Q's reverse edge list is { M, N }, while M and N both have
reverse edge list { I, J }.
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS
------------------------
Now that we've spent a LOT of time on the theory of this algorithm,
let's show that this is actually worth all that effort.
To test the performance, use GIT_TRACE2_PERF=1 when running
'git repack -abd' in a repository with no existing reachability bitmaps.
This avoids any issues with keeping existing bitmaps to skew the
numbers.
Inspect the "building_bitmaps_total" region in the trace2 output to
focus on the portion of work that is affected by this change. Here are
the performance comparisons for a few repositories. The timings are for
the following versions of Git: "multi" is the timing from before any
reverse graph is constructed, where we might perform multiple
traversals. "reverse" is for the previous change where the reverse graph
has every reachable commit. Finally "maximal" is the version introduced
here where the reverse graph only contains the maximal commits.
Repository: git/git
multi: 2.628 sec
reverse: 2.344 sec
maximal: 2.047 sec
Repository: torvalds/linux
multi: 64.7 sec
reverse: 205.3 sec
maximal: 44.7 sec
So in all cases we've not only recovered any time lost to switching to
the reverse-edge algorithm, but we come out ahead of "multi" in all
cases. Likewise, peak heap has gone back to something reasonable:
Repository: torvalds/linux
multi: 2.087 GB
reverse: 3.141 GB
maximal: 2.288 GB
While I do not have access to full fork networks on GitHub, Peff has run
this algorithm on the chromium/chromium fork network and reported a
change from 3 hours to ~233 seconds. That network is particularly
beneficial for this approach because it has a long, linear history along
with many tags. The "multi" approach was obviously quadratic and the new
approach is linear.

We truncate the .bitmap file to 512 bytes and expect to run into
problems reading an individual ewah file. But this length is somewhat
arbitrary, and just happened to work when the test was added in
9d2e330b17 (ewah_read_mmap: bounds-check mmap reads, 2018-06-14).
An upcoming commit will change the size of the history we create in the
test repo, which will cause this test to fail. We can future-proof it a
bit more by reducing the size of the truncated bitmap file.

A .bitmap file may have a "name hash cache" extension, which puts a
sequence of uint32_t values (one per object) at the end of the file.
When we see a flag indicating this extension, we blindly subtract the
appropriate number of bytes from our available length. However, if the
.bitmap file is too short, we'll underflow our length variable and wrap
around, thinking we have a very large length. This can lead to reading
out-of-bounds bytes while loading individual ewah bitmaps.
We can fix this by checking the number of available bytes when we parse
the header. The existing "truncated bitmap" test is now split into two
tests: one where we don't have this extension at all (and hence actually
do try to read a truncated ewah bitmap) and one where we realize
up-front that we can't even fit in the cache structure. We'll check
stderr in each case to make sure we hit the error we're expecting.

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 \

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. Manual analysis revealed that only five of these tests
actually require a specific default branch name to pass; They were
modified thusly:
$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/lib-git-p4\.sh$/i\
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\

Just as rev-list recently learned to combine filters and bitmaps, let's
do the same for pack-objects. The infrastructure is all there; we just
need to pass along our filter options, and the pack-bitmap code will
decide to use bitmaps or not.
This unsurprisingly makes things faster for partial clones of large
repositories (here we're cloning linux.git):

Ever since we added reachability bitmap support, we've been able to use
it with rev-list to get the full list of objects, like:
git rev-list --objects --use-bitmap-index --all
But you can't do so without --objects, since we weren't ready to just
show the commits. However, the internals of the bitmap code are mostly
ready for this: they avoid opening up trees when walking to fill in the
bitmaps. We just need to actually pass in the rev_info to
traverse_bitmap_commit_list() so it knows which types to bother
triggering our callback for.
For completeness, the perf test now covers both the existing --objects
case, as well as the new commits-only behavior (the objects one got way
faster when we introduced bitmaps, but obviously isn't improved now).
Here are numbers for linux.git:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5310.7: rev-list (commits) 8.29(8.10+0.19) 1.76(1.72+0.04) -78.8%
5310.8: rev-list (objects) 8.06(7.94+0.12) 8.14(7.94+0.13) +1.0%
That run was cheating a little, as I didn't have any commit-graph in the
repository, and we'd built it by default these days when running git-gc.
Here are numbers with a commit-graph:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5310.7: rev-list (commits) 0.70(0.58+0.12) 0.51(0.46+0.04) -27.1%
5310.8: rev-list (objects) 6.20(6.09+0.10) 6.27(6.16+0.11) +1.1%
Still an improvement, but a lot less impressive.
We could have the perf script remove any commit-graph to show the
out-sized effect, but it probably makes sense to leave it in what would
be a more typical setup.

We check the results of "rev-list --use-bitmap-index" by comparing it to
the same traversal without the bitmap option. However, this is a little
tricky to do because of some output differences (see the included
comment for details). Let's pull this out into a helper function, since
we'll be adding some similar tests.
While we're at it, let's also try to confirm that the bitmap output did
indeed use bitmaps. Since the code internally falls back to the
non-bitmap path in some cases, the tests are at risk of becoming trivial
noops.
This is a bit fragile, as not all outputs will differ (e.g., looking at
only the commits from a fully-bitmapped pack will end up exactly the
same as the normal traversal order, since it also matches the pack
order). So we'll provide an escape hatch by which tests can disable this
check (which should only be used after manually confirming that bitmaps
kicked in).

The prior commit taught "--count --objects" to work without bitmaps. We
should be able to get the same answer much more quickly with bitmaps.
Note that we punt on the max_count case here. This perhaps _could_ be
made to work if we find all of the boundary commits and treat them as
UNINTERESTING, subtracting them (and their reachable objects) from the
set we return. That implies an actual commit traversal, but we'd still
be faster due to avoiding opening up any trees. Given the complexity and
the fact that anyone is unlikely to want this, it makes sense to just
fall back to the non-bitmap case for now.

The bitmap index we compute in t5310 has only 20 commits in it. This
gives poor coverage of bitmap_writer_select_commits(), which simply

Some tests need to create a string of commits. Doing this with
test_commit is very heavy-weight, as it needs at least one process per
commit (and in fact, uses several).
For bulk creation, we can do much better by using fast-import, but it's
often a pain to generate the input. Let's provide a helper to do so.
We'll use t5310 as a guinea pig, as it has three 10-commit loops. Here
are hyperfine results before and after:
[before]
Benchmark #1: ./t5310-pack-bitmaps.sh --root=/var/ram/git-tests
Time (mean ± σ): 2.846 s ± 0.305 s [User: 3.042 s, System: 0.919 s]
Range (min … max): 2.250 s … 3.210 s 10 runs
[after]
Benchmark #1: ./t5310-pack-bitmaps.sh --root=/var/ram/git-tests
Time (mean ± σ): 2.210 s ± 0.174 s [User: 2.570 s, System: 0.604 s]
Range (min … max): 1.999 s … 2.590 s 10 runs
So we're over 20% faster, while making the callers slightly shorter. We
added a lot more lines in test-lib-function.sh, of course, and the
helper is way more featureful than we need here. But my hope is that it
will be flexible enough to use in more places.

Enabling pack.writebitmaphashcache should always be a performance win.
It costs only 4 bytes per object on disk, and the timings in ae4f07fbcc
(pack-bitmap: implement optional name_hash cache, 2013-12-21) show it
improving fetch and partial-bitmap clone times by 40-50%.
The only reason we didn't enable it by default at the time is that early
versions of JGit's bitmap reader complained about the presence of
optional header bits it didn't understand. But that was changed in
JGit's d2fa3987a (Use bitcheck to check for presence of OPT_FULL option,
2013-10-30), which made it into JGit v3.5.0 in late 2014.
So let's turn this option on by default. It's backwards-compatible with
all versions of Git, and if you are also using JGit on the same
repository, you'd only run into problems using a version that's almost 5
years old.
We'll drop the manual setting from all of our test scripts, including
perf tests. This isn't strictly necessary, but it has two advantages:
1. If the hash-cache ever stops being enabled by default, our perf
regression tests will notice.
2. We can use the modified perf tests to show off the behavior of an
otherwise unconfigured repo, as shown below.
These are the results of a few of a perf tests against linux.git that
showed interesting results. You can see the expected speedup in 5310.4,
which was noted in ae4f07fbcc. Curiously, 5310.8 did not improve (and
actually got slower), despite seeing the opposite in ae4f07fbcc.
I don't have an explanation for that.
The tests from p5311 did not exist back then, but do show improvements
(a smaller pack due to better deltas, which we found in less time).

We use "jgit gc" to generate a pack bitmap file, and then make sure our
implementation can read it. To prepare the repo before running jgit, we
try to "rm -f" any existing bitmap files. But we got the path wrong;
we're in a bare repo, so looking in ".git/" finds nothing. Our "rm"
doesn't complain because of the "-f", and when we run "rev-list" there
are two bitmap files (ours and jgit's).
Our reader implementation will ignore one of the bitmap files, but it's
likely non-deterministic which one we will use. We'd prefer the one with
the more recent timestamp (just because of the way the packed_git list
is sorted), but in most test runs they'd have identical timestamps.
So this was probably actually testing something useful about 50% of the
time, and other half just testing that we could read our own bitmaps
(which is covered elsewhere).

The multi-pack-index feature is tested in isolation by
t5319-multi-pack-index.sh, but there are many more interesting
scenarios in the test suite surrounding pack-file data shapes
and interactions. Since the multi-pack-index is an optional
data structure, it does not make sense to include it by default
in those tests.
Instead, add a new GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX environment variable
that enables core.multiPackIndex and writes a multi-pack-index
after each 'git repack' command. This adds extra test coverage
when needed.
There are a few spots in the test suite that need to react to this
change:
* t5319-multi-pack-index.sh: there is a test that checks that
'git repack' deletes the multi-pack-index. Disable the environment
variable to ensure this still happens.
* t5310-pack-bitmaps.sh: One test moves a pack-file from the object
directory to an alternate. This breaks the multi-pack-index, so
delete the multi-pack-index at this point, if it exists.
* t9300-fast-import.sh: One test verifies the number of files in
the .git/objects/pack directory is exactly 8. Exclude the
multi-pack-index from this count so it is still 8 in all cases.

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.

Test fix.
* sg/t5310-empty-input-fix:
t5310-pack-bitmaps: fix bogus 'pack-objects to file can use bitmap' test
|
|
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.

The code to read compressed bitmap was not careful to avoid reading
past the end of the file, which has been corrected.
* jk/ewah-bounds-check:
ewah: adjust callers of ewah_read_mmap()
ewah_read_mmap: bounds-check mmap reads
|
|
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.

The two JGit tests 'we can read jgit bitmaps' and 'jgit can read our

GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=YesPlease. Both tests create a clone of the test
repository to check bitmap interoperability with JGit. With split
indexes enabled the index in the clone repositories contains the
'link' extension, which JGit doesn't support and, consequently, an
exception aborts it:

at org.eclipse.jgit.dircache.DirCache.readFrom(DirCache.java:562)
<...>
Since testing bitmaps doesn't need a worktree in the first place,
let's just create bare clones for the two JGit tests, so the cloned
won't have an index, and these two tests can be executed even with
split index enabled.

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.

Some codepaths in "git pack-objects" were not ready to use an
existing pack bitmap; now they are and as the result they have
become faster.
* ks/pack-objects-bitmap:
pack-objects: use reachability bitmap index when generating non-stdout pack
pack-objects: respect --local/--honor-pack-keep/--incremental when bitmap is in use
|
|
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`.

The speedup is now tracked via t/perf/p5310-pack-bitmaps.sh

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:

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.
I appreciate help and discussing this change with Junio C Hamano and
Jeff King.

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.

A minor bugfix when pack bitmap is used with "rev-list --count".
* jk/rev-list-no-bitmap-while-pruning:
rev-list: disable --use-bitmap-index when pruning commits
|
|
The reachability bitmaps do not have enough information to
tell us which commits might have changed path "foo", so the
current code produces wrong answers for:
git rev-list --use-bitmap-index --count HEAD -- foo
(it silently ignores the "foo" limiter). Instead, we should
fall back to doing a normal traversal (it is OK to fall
back rather than complain, because --use-bitmap-index is a
pure optimization, and might not kick in for other reasons,
such as there being no bitmaps in the repository).

Splitting pack-objects output into multiple packs is incompatible
with the use of reachability bitmap.
* jk/pack-objects-no-bitmap-when-splitting:
pack-objects: turn off bitmaps when we split packs
|
|
If a pack.packSizeLimit is set, we may split the pack data
across multiple packfiles. This means we cannot generate
.bitmap files, as they require that all of the reachable
objects are in the same pack. We check that condition when
we are generating the list of objects to pack (and disable
bitmaps if we are not packing everything), but we forgot to
update it when we notice that we needed to split (which
doesn't happen until the actual write phase).
The resulting bitmaps are quite bogus (they mention entries
that do not exist in the pack!) and can cause a fetch or
push to send insufficient objects.

We currently have pack.writeBitmaps, which originally

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).

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.

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

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.

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.
