14ba97f8 (alloc: allow arbitrary repositories for alloc functions,
2018-05-15) introduced parsed_object_pool->commit_count to keep count of
commits per repository and was used to assign commit->index.
However, commit-slab code requires commit->index values to be unique
and a global count would be correct, rather than a per-repo count.
Let's introduce a static counter variable, `parsed_commits_count` to
keep track of parsed commits so far.
As commit_count has no use anymore, let's also drop it from the struct.

Reduce code duplication by turning parse_tree_indirect() into a wrapper
of repo_peel_to_type(). This avoids a segfault when handling a broken
tag where ->tagged is NULL. The new version also checks the return
value of parse_object() that was ignored by the old one.

There are no callers left of create_object() that aren't just passing us
the "hash" member of a "struct object_id". Let's take the whole struct,
which gets us closer to removing all raw sha1 variables.

There are no callers left of lookup_object() that aren't just passing us
the "hash" member of a "struct object_id". Let's take the whole struct,
which gets us closer to removing all raw sha1 variables. It also
matches the existing conversions of lookup_blob(), etc.
The conversions of callers were done by hand, but they're all mechanical
one-liners.

The assumption to work on the single "in-core index" instance has
been reduced from the library-ish part of the codebase.

The code to walk tree objects has been taught that we may be
working with object names that are not computed with SHA-1.
* bc/tree-walk-oid:
cache: make oidcpy always copy GIT_MAX_RAWSZ bytes
tree-walk: store object_id in a separate member
match-trees: use hashcpy to splice trees
match-trees: compute buffer offset correctly when splicing
tree-walk: copy object ID before use

When parsing a tree, we read the object ID directly out of the tree
buffer. This is normally fine, but such an object ID cannot be used with
oidcpy, which copies GIT_MAX_RAWSZ bytes, because if we are using SHA-1,
there may not be that many bytes to copy.
Instead, store the object ID in a separate struct member. Since we can
no longer efficiently compute the path length, store that information as
well in struct name_entry. Ensure we only copy the object ID into the
new buffer if the path length is nonzero, as some callers will pass us
an empty path with no object ID following it, and we will not want to
read past the end of the buffer.

In order to support :(attr) when matching pathspec on a tree,
tree_entry_interesting() needs to take an index (because
git_check_attr() needs it). This is the preparation step for it. This
also makes it clearer what index we fall back to when looking up
attributes during an unpack-trees operation: the source index.
This also fixes revs->pruning.repo initialization that should have
been done in 2abf350385 (revision.c: remove implicit dependency on
the_index - 2018-09-21). Without it, skip_uninteresting() will
dereference a NULL pointer through this call chain
get_revision(revs)
get_revision_internal
get_revision_1
try_to_simplify_commit

These functions call tree_entry_interesting() which will soon require
a 'struct index_state *' to be passed in. Instead of just changing the
function signature to take an index, update to take a repo instead
because these functions do need object database access.

For a large tree, the index needs to hold many cache entries
allocated on heap. These cache entries are now allocated out of a
dedicated memory pool to amortize malloc(3) overhead.
* jm/cache-entry-from-mem-pool:
block alloc: add validations around cache_entry lifecyle
block alloc: allocate cache entries from mem_pool
mem-pool: fill out functionality
mem-pool: add life cycle management functions
mem-pool: only search head block for available space
block alloc: add lifecycle APIs for cache_entry structs
read-cache: teach make_cache_entry to take object_id
read-cache: teach refresh_cache_entry to take istate
|

It has been observed that the time spent loading an index with a large
number of entries is partly dominated by malloc() calls. This change
is in preparation for using memory pools to reduce the number of
malloc() calls made to allocate cahce entries when loading an index.
Add an API to allocate and discard cache entries, abstracting the
details of managing the memory backing the cache entries. This commit
does actually change how memory is managed - this will be done in a
later commit in the series.
This change makes the distinction between cache entries that are
associated with an index and cache entries that are not associated with
an index. A main use of cache entries is with an index, and we can
optimize the memory management around this. We still have other cases
where a cache entry is not persisted with an index, and so we need to
handle the "transient" use case as well.
To keep the congnitive overhead of managing the cache entries, there
will only be a single discard function. This means there must be enough
information kept with the cache entry so that we know how to discard
them.
A summary of the main functions in the API is:
make_cache_entry: create cache entry for use in an index. Uses specified
parameters to populate cache_entry fields.
make_empty_cache_entry: Create an empty cache entry for use in an index.
Returns cache entry with empty fields.
make_transient_cache_entry: create cache entry that is not used in an
index. Uses specified parameters to populate
cache_entry fields.
make_empty_transient_cache_entry: create cache entry that is not used in
an index. Returns cache entry with
empty fields.
discard_cache_entry: A single function that knows how to discard a cache
entry regardless of how it was allocated.

This should make these functions easier to find and cache.h less
overwhelming to read.
In particular, this moves:
- read_object_file
- oid_object_info
- write_object_file
As a result, most of the codebase needs to #include object-store.h.
In this patch the #include is only added to files that would fail to
compile otherwise. It would be better to #include wherever
identifiers from the header are used. That can happen later
when we have better tooling for it.

We have to convert all of the alloc functions at once, because alloc_report
uses a funky macro for reporting. It is better for the sake of mechanical
conversion to convert multiple functions at once rather than changing the
structure of the reporting function.
We record all memory allocation in alloc.c, and free them in
clear_alloc_state, which is called for all repositories except
the_repository.

Using the commit-graph file to walk commit history removes the large
cost of parsing commits during the walk. This exposes a performance
issue: lookup_tree() takes a large portion of the computation time,
even when Git never uses those trees.
In anticipation of lazy-loading these trees, rename the 'tree' member
of struct commit to 'maybe_tree'. This serves two purposes: it hints
at the future role of possibly being NULL even if the commit has a
valid tree, and it allows for unambiguous transformation from simple
member access (i.e. commit->maybe_tree) to method access.

Convert lookup_commit, lookup_commit_or_die,

Introduce a temporary in parse_object buffer in order to convert this
function. This is required since in order to convert parse_object and
parse_object_buffer, lookup_commit_reference_gently and
lookup_commit_or_die would need to be converted. Not introducing a
temporary would therefore require that lookup_commit_or_die take a

Recent "git prune" traverses young unreachable objects to safekeep
old objects in the reachability chain from them, which sometimes
caused error messages that are unnecessarily alarming.
* jk/squelch-missing-link-warning-for-unreachable:
suppress errors on missing UNINTERESTING links
silence broken link warnings with revs->ignore_missing_links
add quieter versions of parse_{tree,commit}
|
|
When we call parse_commit, it will complain to stderr if the
object does not exist or cannot be read. This means that we
may produce useless error messages if this situation is
expected (e.g., because the object is marked UNINTERESTING,
or because revs->ignore_missing_links is set).
We can fix this by adding a new "parse_X_gently" form that
takes a flag to suppress the messages. The existing
"parse_X" form is already gentle in the sense that it
returns an error rather than dying, and we could in theory
just add a "quiet" flag to it (with existing callers passing
"0"). But doing it this way means we do not have to disturb
existing callers.
Note also that the new flag is "quiet_on_missing", and not
just "quiet". We could add a flag to suppress _all_ errors,
but besides being a more invasive change (we would have to
pass the flag down to sub-functions, too), there is a good
reason not to: we would never want to use it. Missing a
linked object is expected in some circumstances, but it is
never expected to have a malformed commit, or to get a tree
when we wanted a commit. We should always complain about
these corruptions.

When we call lookup_commit, lookup_tree, etc, the logic goes
something like:
1. Look for an existing object struct. If we don't have
one, allocate and return a new one.
2. Double check that any object we have is the expected
type (and complain and return NULL otherwise).
3. Convert an object with type OBJ_NONE (from a prior
call to lookup_unknown_object) to the expected type.
We can encapsulate steps 2 and 3 in a helper function which
checks whether we have the expected object type, converts
OBJ_NONE as appropriate, and returns the object.
Not only does this shorten the code, but it also provides
one central location for converting OBJ_NONE objects into
objects of other types. Future patches will use that to
enforce type-specific invariants.
Since this is a refactoring, we would want it to behave
exactly as the current code. It takes a little reasoning to
see that this is the case:
- for lookup_{commit,tree,etc} functions, we are just
pulling steps 2 and 3 into a function that does the same
thing.
- for the call in peel_object, we currently only do step 3
(but we want to consolidate it with the others, as
mentioned above). However, step 2 is a noop here, as the
surrounding conditional makes sure we have OBJ_NONE
(which we want to keep to avoid an extraneous call to
sha1_object_info).
- for the call in lookup_commit_reference_gently, we are
currently doing step 2 but not step 3. However, step 3
is a noop here. The object we got will have just come
from deref_tag, which must have figured out the type for
each object in order to know when to stop peeling.
Therefore the type will never be OBJ_NONE.

The "struct object" type implements basic object
polymorphism. Individual instances are allocated as
concrete types (or as a union type that can store any
object), and a "struct object *" can be cast into its real
type after examining its "type" enum. This means it is
dangerous to have a type field that does not match the
allocation (e.g., setting the type field of a "struct blob"
to "OBJ_COMMIT" would mean that a reader might read past the
allocated memory).
In most of the current code this is not a problem; the first
thing we do after allocating an object is usually to set its
type field by passing it to create_object. However, the
virtual commits we create in merge-recursive.c do not ever
get their type set. This does not seem to have caused
problems in practice, though (presumably because we always
pass around a "struct commit" pointer and never even look at
the type).
We can fix this oversight and also make it harder for future
code to get it wrong by setting the type directly in the
object allocation functions.
This will also make it easier to fix problems with commit
index allocation, as we know that any object allocated by
alloc_commit_node will meet the invariant that an object
with an OBJ_COMMIT type field will have a unique index
number.
