The pop_most_recent_commit() function can have quite expensive worst case performance characteristics, which has been optimized by using prio-queue data structure. * rs/pop-recent-commit-with-prio-queue: commit: use prio_queue_replace() in pop_most_recent_commit() prio-queue: add prio_queue_replace() commit: convert pop_most_recent_commit() to prio_queue
13 dayscommit: use prio_queue_replace() in pop_most_recent_commit()René Scharfe
Optimize pop_most_recent_commit() by adding the first parent using the more efficient prio_queue_peek() and prio_queue_replace() instead of prio_queue_get() and prio_queue_put().

13 dayscommit: convert pop_most_recent_commit() to prio_queueRené Scharfe
pop_most_recent_commit() calls commit_list_insert_by_date() for parent commits, which is itself called in a loop. This can lead to quadratic complexity if there are many merges. Replace the commit_list with a prio_queue to ensure logarithmic worst case complexity and convert all three users. Add a performance test that exercises one of them using a pathological history that consists of 50% merges and 50% root commits to demonstrate the speedup: Test v2.50.1 HEAD ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1501.2: rev-parse ':/65535' 2.48(2.47+0.00) 0.20(0.19+0.00) -91.9% Alas, sane histories don't benefit from the conversion much, and traversing Git's own history takes a 1% performance hit on my machine: $ hyperfine -w3 -L git ./git_2.50.1,./git '{git} rev-parse :/^Initial.revision' Benchmark 1: ./git_2.50.1 rev-parse :/^Initial.revision Time (mean ± σ): 1.071 s ± 0.004 s [User: 1.052 s, System: 0.017 s] Range (min … max): 1.067 s … 1.078 s 10 runs Benchmark 2: ./git rev-parse :/^Initial.revision Time (mean ± σ): 1.079 s ± 0.003 s [User: 1.060 s, System: 0.017 s] Range (min … max): 1.074 s … 1.083 s 10 runs Summary ./git_2.50.1 rev-parse :/^Initial.revision ran 1.01 ± 0.00 times faster than ./git rev-parse :/^Initial.revision Signed-off-by: René Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2024-09-25commit: avoid leaking already-saved bufferJeff King
When we parse a commit via repo_parse_commit_internal(), if save_commit_buffer is set we'll stuff the buffer of the object contents into a cache, overwriting any previous value. This can result in a leak of that previously cached value, though it's rare in practice. If we have a value in the cache it would have come from a previous parse, and during that parse we'd set the object.parsed flag, causing any subsequent parse attempts to exit without doing any work. But it's possible to "unparse" a commit, which we do when registering a commit graft. And since shallow fetches are implemented using grafts, the leak is triggered in practice by t5539. There are a number of possible ways to address this: 1. the unparsing function could clear the cached commit buffer, too. I think this would work for the case I found, but I'm not sure if there are other ways to end up in the same state (an unparsed commit with an entry in the commit buffer cache). 2. when we parse, we could check the buffer cache and prefer it to reading the contents from the object database. In theory the contents of a particular sha1 are immutable, but the code in question is violating the immutability with grafts. So this approach makes me a bit nervous, although I think it would work in practice (the grafts are applied to what we parse, but we still retain the original contents). 3. We could realize the cache is already populated and discard its contents before overwriting. It's possible some other code could be holding on to a pointer to the old cache entry (and we'd introduce a use-after-free), but I think the risk of that is relatively low. 4. The reverse of (3): when the cache is populated, don't bother saving our new copy. This is perhaps a little weird, since we'll have just populated the commit struct based on a different buffer. But the two buffers should be the same, even in the presence of grafts (as in (2) above). I went with option 4. It addresses the leak directly and doesn't carry any risk of breaking other assumptions. And it's the same technique used by parse_object_buffer() for this situation, though I'm not sure when it would even come up there. The extra safety has been there since bd1e17e245 (Make "parse_object()" also fill in commit message buffer data., 2005-05-25). This lets us mark t5539 as leak-free.

2024-06-14global: introduce `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macroPatrick Steinhardt
Use of the `the_repository` variable is deprecated nowadays, and we slowly but steadily convert the codebase to not use it anymore. Instead, callers should be passing down the repository to work on via parameters. It is hard though to prove that a given code unit does not use this variable anymore. The most trivial case, merely demonstrating that there is no direct use of `the_repository`, is already a bit of a pain during code reviews as the reviewer needs to manually verify claims made by the patch author. The bigger problem though is that we have many interfaces that implicitly rely on `the_repository`. Introduce a new `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro that allows code units to opt into usage of `the_repository`. The intent of this macro is to demonstrate that a certain code unit does not use this variable anymore, and to keep it from new dependencies on it in future changes, be it explicit or implicit For now, the macro only guards `the_repository` itself as well as `the_hash_algo`. There are many more known interfaces where we have an implicit dependency on `the_repository`, but those are not guarded at the current point in time. Over time though, we should start to add guards as required (or even better, just remove them). Define the macro as required in our code units. As expected, most of our code still relies on the global variable. Nearly all of our builtins rely on the variable as there is no way yet to pass `the_repository` to their entry point. For now, declare the macro in "biultin.h" to keep the required changes at least a little bit more contained.

2024-06-11merge: fix leaking merge basesPatrick Steinhardt
When calling either the recursive or the ORT merge machineries we need to provide a list of merge bases. The ownership of that parameter is then implicitly transferred to the callee, which is somewhat fishy. Furthermore, that list may leak in some cases where the merge machinery runs into an error, thus causing a memory leak. Refactor the code such that we stop transferring ownership. Instead, the merge machinery will now create its own local copies of the passed in list as required if they need to modify the list. Free the list at the callsites as required.

2024-06-11commit: fix leaking parents when calling `commit_tree_extended()`Patrick Steinhardt
When creating commits via `commit_tree_extended()`, the caller passes in a string list of parents. This call implicitly transfers ownership of that list to the function, which is quite surprising to begin with. But to make matters worse, `commit_tree_extended()` doesn't even bother to free the list of parents in error cases. The result is a memory leak, and one that the caller cannot fix by themselves because they do not know whether parts of the string list have already been released. Refactor the code such that callers can keep ownership of the list of parents, which is getting indicated by parameter being a constant pointer now. Free the lists at the calling site and add a common exit path to those sites as required. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2024-03-12find multi-byte comment chars in unterminated buffersJeff King
As with the previous patch, we need to swap out single-byte matching for something like starts_with() to match all bytes of a multi-byte comment character. But for cases where the buffer is not NUL-terminated (and we instead have an explicit size or end pointer), it's not safe to use starts_with(), as it might walk off the end of the buffer. Let's introduce a new starts_with_mem() that does the same thing but also accepts the length of the "haystack" str and makes sure not to walk past it. Note that in most cases the existing code did not need a length check at all, since it was written in a way that knew we had at least one byte available (and that was all we checked). So I had to read each one to find the appropriate bounds. The one exception is sequencer.c's add_commented_lines(), where we can actually get rid of the length check. Just like starts_with(), our starts_with_mem() handles an empty haystack variable by not matching (assuming a non-empty prefix). A few notes on the implementation of starts_with_mem(): - it would be equally correct to take an "end" pointer (and indeed, many of the callers have this and have to subtract to come up with the length). I think taking a ptr/size combo is a more usual interface for our codebase, though, and has the added benefit that the function signature makes it harder to mix up the three parameters. - we could obviously build starts_with() on top of this by passing strlen(str) as the length. But it's possible that starts_with() is a relatively hot code path, and it should not pay that penalty (it can generally return an answer proportional to the size of the prefix, not the whole string). - it naively feels like xstrncmpz() should be able to do the same thing, but that's not quite true. If you pass the length of the haystack buffer, then strncmp() finds that a shorter prefix string is "less than" than the haystack, even if the haystack starts with the prefix. If you pass the length of the prefix, then you risk reading past the end of the haystack if it is shorter than the prefix. So I think we really do need a new function.

2023-11-26commit-graph: disable GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA by defaultPatrick Steinhardt
In 7a5d604443 (commit: detect commits that exist in commit-graph but not in the ODB, 2023-10-31), we have introduced a new object existence check into `repo_parse_commit_internal()` so that we do not parse commits via the commit-graph that don't have a corresponding object in the object database. This new check of course comes with a performance penalty, which the commit put at around 30% for `git rev-list --topo-order`. But there are in fact scenarios where the performance regression is even higher. The following benchmark against linux.git with a fully-build commit-graph: Benchmark 1: git.v2.42.1 rev-list --count HEAD Time (mean ± σ): 658.0 ms ± 5.2 ms [User: 613.5 ms, System: 44.4 ms] Range (min … max): 650.2 ms … 666.0 ms 10 runs Benchmark 2: git.v2.43.0-rc1 rev-list --count HEAD Time (mean ± σ): 1.333 s ± 0.019 s [User: 1.263 s, System: 0.069 s] Range (min … max): 1.302 s … 1.361 s 10 runs Summary git.v2.42.1 rev-list --count HEAD ran 2.03 ± 0.03 times faster than git.v2.43.0-rc1 rev-list --count HEAD While it's a noble goal to ensure that results are the same regardless of whether or not we have a potentially stale commit-graph, taking twice as much time is a tough sell. Furthermore, we can generally assume that the commit-graph will be updated by git-gc(1) or git-maintenance(1) as required so that the case where the commit-graph is stale should not at all be common. With that in mind, default-disable GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA and restore the behaviour and thus performance previous to the mentioned commit. In order to not be inconsistent, also disable this behaviour by default in `lookup_commit_in_graph()`, where the object existence check has been introduced right at its inception via f559d6d45e (revision: avoid hitting packfiles when commits are in commit-graph, 2021-08-09). This results in another speedup in commands that end up calling this function, even though it's less pronounced compared to the above benchmark. The following has been executed in linux.git with ~1.2 million references: Benchmark 1: GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA=true git rev-list --all --no-walk=unsorted Time (mean ± σ): 2.947 s ± 0.003 s [User: 2.412 s, System: 0.534 s] Range (min … max): 2.943 s … 2.949 s 3 runs Benchmark 2: GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA=false git rev-list --all --no-walk=unsorted Time (mean ± σ): 2.724 s ± 0.030 s [User: 2.207 s, System: 0.514 s] Range (min … max): 2.704 s … 2.759 s 3 runs Summary GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA=false git rev-list --all --no-walk=unsorted ran 1.08 ± 0.01 times faster than GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA=true git rev-list --all --no-walk=unsorted So whereas 7a5d604443 initially introduced the logic to start doing an object existence check in `repo_parse_commit_internal()` by default, the updated logic will now instead cause `lookup_commit_in_graph()` to stop doing the check by default. This behaviour continues to be tweakable by the user via the GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA environment variable. Note that this requires us to amend some tests to manually turn on the paranoid checks again. This is because we cause repository corruption by manually deleting objects which are part of the commit graph already. These circumstances shouldn't usually happen in repositories.

2023-11-01commit: detect commits that exist in commit-graph but not in the ODBPatrick Steinhardt
Commit graphs can become stale and contain references to commits that do not exist in the object database anymore. Theoretically, this can lead to a scenario where we are able to successfully look up any such commit via the commit graph even though such a lookup would fail if done via the object database directly. As the commit graph is mostly intended as a sort of cache to speed up parsing of commits we do not want to have diverging behaviour in a repository with and a repository without commit graphs, no matter whether they are stale or not. As commits are otherwise immutable, the only thing that we really need to care about is thus the presence or absence of a commit. To address potentially stale commit data that may exist in the graph, our `lookup_commit_in_graph()` function will check for the commit's existence in both the commit graph, but also in the object database. So even if we were able to look up the commit's data in the graph, we would still pretend as if the commit didn't exist if it is missing in the object database. We don't have the same safety net in `parse_commit_in_graph_one()` though. This function is mostly used internally in "commit-graph.c" itself to validate the commit graph, and this usage is fine. We do expose its functionality via `parse_commit_in_graph()` though, which gets called by `repo_parse_commit_internal()`, and that function is in turn used in many places in our codebase. For all I can see this function is never used to directly turn an object ID into a commit object without additional safety checks before or after this lookup. What it is being used for though is to walk history via the parent chain of commits. So when commits in the parent chain of a graph walk are missing it is possible that we wouldn't notice if that missing commit was part of the commit graph. Thus, a query like `git rev-parse HEAD~2` can succeed even if the intermittent commit is missing. It's unclear whether there are additional ways in which such stale commit graphs can lead to problems. In any case, it feels like this is a bigger bug waiting to happen when we gain additional direct or indirect callers of `repo_parse_commit_internal()`. So let's fix the inconsistent behaviour by checking for object existence via the object database, as well. This check of course comes with a performance penalty. The following benchmarks have been executed in a clone of linux.git with stable tags added: Benchmark 1: git -c core.commitGraph=true rev-list --topo-order --all (git = master) Time (mean ± σ): 2.913 s ± 0.018 s [User: 2.363 s, System: 0.548 s] Range (min … max): 2.894 s … 2.950 s 10 runs Benchmark 2: git -c core.commitGraph=true rev-list --topo-order --all (git = pks-commit-graph-inconsistency) Time (mean ± σ): 3.834 s ± 0.052 s [User: 3.276 s, System: 0.556 s] Range (min … max): 3.780 s … 3.961 s 10 runs Benchmark 3: git -c core.commitGraph=false rev-list --topo-order --all (git = master) Time (mean ± σ): 13.841 s ± 0.084 s [User: 13.152 s, System: 0.687 s] Range (min … max): 13.714 s … 13.995 s 10 runs Benchmark 4: git -c core.commitGraph=false rev-list --topo-order --all (git = pks-commit-graph-inconsistency) Time (mean ± σ): 13.762 s ± 0.116 s [User: 13.094 s, System: 0.667 s] Range (min … max): 13.645 s … 14.038 s 10 runs Summary git -c core.commitGraph=true rev-list --topo-order --all (git = master) ran 1.32 ± 0.02 times faster than git -c core.commitGraph=true rev-list --topo-order --all (git = pks-commit-graph-inconsistency) 4.72 ± 0.05 times faster than git -c core.commitGraph=false rev-list --topo-order --all (git = pks-commit-graph-inconsistency) 4.75 ± 0.04 times faster than git -c core.commitGraph=false rev-list --topo-order --all (git = master) We look at a ~30% regression in general, but in general we're still a whole lot faster than without the commit graph.
