10 years agorev-list: add bitmap mode to speed up object lists

rev-list: add bitmap mode to speed up object lists

The bitmap reachability index used to speed up the counting objects
phase during `pack-objects` can also be used to optimize a normal
rev-list if the only thing required are the SHA1s of the objects during
the list (i.e., not the path names at which trees and blobs were found).

Calling `git rev-list --objects --use-bitmap-index [committish]` will
perform an object iteration based on a bitmap result instead of actually
walking the object graph.

These are some example timings for `torvalds/linux` (warm cache,
best-of-five):

    $ time git rev-list --objects master > /dev/null

    real    0m34.191s
    user    0m33.904s
    sys     0m0.268s

    $ time git rev-list --objects --use-bitmap-index master > /dev/null

    real    0m1.041s
    user    0m0.976s
    sys     0m0.064s

Likewise, using `git rev-list --count --use-bitmap-index` will speed up
the counting operation by building the resulting bitmap and performing a
fast popcount (number of bits set on the bitmap) on the result.

Here are some sample timings of different ways to count commits in
`torvalds/linux`:

    $ time git rev-list master | wc -l
        399882

        real    0m6.524s
        user    0m6.060s
        sys     0m3.284s

    $ time git rev-list --count master
        399882

        real    0m4.318s
        user    0m4.236s
        sys     0m0.076s

    $ time git rev-list --use-bitmap-index --count master
        399882

        real    0m0.217s
        user    0m0.176s
        sys     0m0.040s

This also respects negative refs, so you can use it to count
a slice of history:

        $ time git rev-list --count v3.0..master
        144843

        real    0m1.971s
        user    0m1.932s
        sys     0m0.036s

        $ time git rev-list --use-bitmap-index --count v3.0..master
        real    0m0.280s
        user    0m0.220s
        sys     0m0.056s

Though note that the closer the endpoints, the less it helps. In the
traversal case, we have fewer commits to cross, so we take less time.
But the bitmap time is dominated by generating the pack revindex, which
is constant with respect to the refs given.

Note that you cannot yet get a fast --left-right count of a symmetric
difference (e.g., "--count --left-right master...topic"). The slow part
of that walk actually happens during the merge-base determination when
we parse "master...topic". Even though a count does not actually need to
know the real merge base (it only needs to take the symmetric difference
of the bitmaps), the revision code would require some refactoring to
handle this case.

Additionally, a `--test-bitmap` flag has been added that will perform
the same rev-list manually (i.e. using a normal revwalk) and using
bitmaps, and verify that the results are the same. This can be used to
exercise the bitmap code, and also to verify that the contents of the
.bitmap file are sane.

10 years agopack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects
Vicent Marti [Sat, 21 Dec 2013 14:00:09 +0000 (09:00 -0500)]
pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects

In this patch, we use the bitmap API to perform the `Counting Objects`
phase in pack-objects, rather than a traditional walk through the object
graph. For a reasonably-packed large repo, the time to fetch and clone
is often dominated by the full-object revision walk during the Counting
Objects phase. Using bitmaps can reduce the CPU time required on the
server (and therefore start sending the actual pack data with less
delay).

For bitmaps to be used, the following must be true:

  1. We must be packing to stdout (as a normal `pack-objects` from
     `upload-pack` would do).

  2. There must be a .bitmap index containing at least one of the
     "have" objects that the client is asking for.

  3. Bitmaps must be enabled (they are enabled by default, but can be
     disabled by setting `pack.usebitmaps` to false, or by using
     `--no-use-bitmap-index` on the command-line).

If any of these is not true, we fall back to doing a normal walk of the
object graph.

Here are some sample timings from a full pack of `torvalds/linux` (i.e.
something very similar to what would be generated for a clone of the
repository) that show the speedup produced by various
methods:

pack-objects: split add_object_entry

This function actually does three things:

  1. Check whether we've already added the object to our

  2. Check whether the object meets our criteria for adding.

  3. Actually add the object to our packing list.

It's a little hard to see these three phases, because they
happen linearly in the rather long function. Instead, this
patch breaks them up into three separate helper functions.

The result is a little easier to follow, though it

interdependencies between the stages (e.g., during step 3 we
use the packing list index from step 1 and the packfile

10 years agopack-bitmap: add support for bitmap indexes
Vicent Marti [Sat, 21 Dec 2013 14:00:01 +0000 (09:00 -0500)]
pack-bitmap: add support for bitmap indexes

A bitmap index is a `.bitmap` file that can be found inside
`$GIT_DIR/objects/pack/`, next to its corresponding packfile, and
contains precalculated reachability information for selected commits.
The full specification of the format for these bitmap indexes can be found
in `Documentation/technical/bitmap-format.txt`.

For a given commit SHA1, if it happens to be available in the bitmap
index, its bitmap will represent every single object that is reachable
from the commit itself. The nth bit in the bitmap is the nth object in
the packfile; if it's set to 1, the object is reachable.

By using the bitmaps available in the index, this commit implements
several new functions:

- `prepare_bitmap_git`
- `prepare_bitmap_walk`
- `traverse_bitmap_commit_list`
- `reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap`

The `prepare_bitmap_walk` function tries to build a bitmap of all the
objects that can be reached from the commit roots of a given `rev_info`
struct by using the following algorithm:

- If all the interesting commits for a revision walk are available in
the index, the resulting reachability bitmap is the bitwise OR of all
the individual bitmaps.

- When the full set of WANTs is not available in the index, we perform a
partial revision walk using the commits that don't have bitmaps as
roots, and limiting the revision walk as soon as we reach a commit that
has a corresponding bitmap. The earlier OR'ed bitmap with all the
indexed commits can now be completed as this walk progresses, so the end
result is the full reachability list.

- For revision walks with a HAVEs set (a set of commits that are deemed
uninteresting), first we perform the same method as for the WANTs, but
using our HAVEs as roots, in order to obtain a full reachability bitmap
of all the uninteresting commits. This bitmap then can be used to:

a) limit the subsequent walk when building the WANTs bitmap
b) finding the final set of interesting commits by performing an
   AND-NOT of the WANTs and the HAVEs.

If `prepare_bitmap_walk` runs successfully, the resulting bitmap is
stored and the equivalent of a `traverse_commit_list` call can be
performed by using `traverse_bitmap_commit_list`; the bitmap version
of this call yields the objects straight from the packfile index
(without having to look them up or parse them) and hence is several
orders of magnitude faster.

As an extra optimization, when `prepare_bitmap_walk` succeeds, the
`reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap` call can be attempted: it will find
the amount of objects at the beginning of the on-disk packfile that can
be reused as-is, and return an offset into the packfile. The source
packfile can then be loaded and the bytes up to `offset` can be written
directly to the result without having to consider the entires inside the
packfile individually.

If the `prepare_bitmap_walk` call fails (e.g. because no bitmap files
are available), the `rev_info` struct is left untouched, and can be used
to perform a manual rev-walk using `traverse_commit_list`.

Hence, this new set of functions are a generic API that allows to
perform the equivalent of

git rev-list --objects [roots...] [^uninteresting...]

for any set of commits, even if they don't have specific bitmaps
generated for them.

In further patches, we'll use this bitmap traversal optimization to
speed up the `pack-objects` and `rev-list` commands.

ewah: compressed bitmap implementation

EWAH is a word-aligned compressed variant of a bitset (i.e. a data
structure that acts as a 0-indexed boolean array for many entries).

It uses a 64-bit run-length encoding (RLE) compression scheme,
trading some compression for better processing speed.

The goal of this word-aligned implementation is not to achieve
the best compression, but rather to improve query processing time.
As it stands right now, this EWAH implementation will always be more
efficient storage-wise than its uncompressed alternative.

EWAH arrays will be used as the on-disk format to store reachability
bitmaps for all objects in a repository while keeping reasonable sizes,
in the same way that JGit does.

This EWAH implementation is a mostly straightforward port of the
original `javaewah` library that JGit currently uses. The library is
self-contained and has been embedded whole (4 files) inside the `ewah`
folder to ease redistribution.

The library is re-licensed under the GPLv2 with the permission of Daniel
Lemire, the original author. The source code for the C version can

sparse: suppress some "using sizeof on a function" warnings

Sparse issues an "using sizeof on a function" warning for each
call to curl_easy_setopt() which sets an option that takes a
function pointer parameter. (currently 12 such warnings over 4
files.)

The warnings relate to the use of the "typecheck-gcc.h" header
file which adds a layer of type-checking macros to the curl
function invocations (for gcc >= 4.3 and !__cplusplus). As part
of the type-checking layer, 'sizeof' is applied to the function
parameter of curl_easy_setopt(). Note that, in the context of
sizeof, the function to function pointer conversion is not
performed and that sizeof(f) != sizeof(&f).

A simple solution, therefore, would be to replace the function
name in each such call to curl_easy_setopt() with an explicit
function pointer expression (i.e. replace f with &f).

However, the "typecheck-gcc.h" header file is only conditionally
included, in addition to the gcc and C++ checks mentioned above,
depending on the CURL_DISABLE_TYPECHECK preprocessor variable.

In order to suppress the warnings, we use target-specific variable
assignments to add -DCURL_DISABLE_TYPECHECK to SPARSE_FLAGS for
each file affected (http-push.c, http.c, http-walker.c and
remote-curl.c).

Linux Mint has an implementation of the highlight command (unrelated
to the one from http://www.andre-simon.de) that works as a simple
filter. The script uses 'sed' to add terminal colour escape codes
around text matching a regular expression. When t9500-*.sh attempts
to run "highlight --version", the script simply hangs waiting for
input. (See https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/815005).

The tool required by gitweb can be installed from the 'highlight'
package. Unfortunately, given the default $PATH, this leads to the
tool having lower precedence than the script.

In order to avoid hanging the test, add '</dev/null' to the command
line of the highlight invocation. Also, since the 'highlight' tool
requred by gitweb produces '--version' output (and the script does
not), saving the command output allows a simple check for the wrong
'highlight'.

Documentation/git-svn: Promote the use of --prefix in docs + examples

Currently, the git-svn defaults to using an empty prefix, which ends
up placing the SVN-tracking refs directly in refs/remotes/*. This
placement runs counter to Git's convention of placing remote-tracking
branches in refs/remotes/$remote/*.

Furthermore, combining git-svn with "regular" Git remotes run the risk
of clobbering refs under refs/remotes (e.g. if you have a git remote
called "tags" with a "v1" branch, it will overlap with the git-svn's
tracking branch for the "v1" tag from Subversion.

Even though the git-svn refs stored in refs/remotes/* are not "proper"
remote-tracking branches (since they are not covered by a proper git
remote's refspec), they clearly represent a similar concept, and would
benefit from following the same convention.

For example, if git-svn tracks Subversion branch "foo" at
refs/remotes/foo, and you create a local branch refs/heads/foo to add
some commits to be pushed back to Subversion (using "git svn dcommit),
then it is clearly unhelpful of Git to throw

  warning: refname 'foo' is ambiguous.

every time you checkout, rebase, or otherwise interact with the branch.

At this time, the user is better off using the --prefix=foo/ (the
trailing slash is important) to git svn init/clone, to cause the
SVN-tracking refs to be placed at refs/remotes/foo/* instead of
refs/remotes/*. This patch updates the documentation to encourage
use of --prefix.

This is also in preparation for changing the default value of --prefix
