Symbolic links are still not quite as easy to use on Windows as on Linux
(for example, on versions older than Windows 10, only administrators can
create symlinks, and on Windows 10 you still need to be in developer
mode for regular users to have permission), but NTFS junctions can give
us a way out.

Let's not decide in the generic ci/ part how many jobs to run in
parallel; different CI configurations would favor a different number of
parallel jobs, and it is easy enough to hand that information down via
the `MAKEFLAGS` variable.

The name is hard-coded to reflect that we use Travis CI for continuous
testing.
In the next commits, we will extend this to be able use Azure DevOps,
too.
So let's adjust the name to make it more generic.

All Travis CI build jobs run the test suite with 'make --quiet test'.
On one hand, being quiet doesn't save us from much clutter in the
output:
$ make test |wc -l
861
$ make --quiet test |wc -l
848
It only spares 13 lines, mostly the output of entering the 't/'
directory and the pre- and post-cleanup commands, which is negligible
compared to the ~700 lines printed while building Git and the ~850
lines of 'prove' output.
On the other hand, it's asking for trouble. In our CI build scripts
we build Git and run the test suite in two separate 'make'
invocations. In a prelimiary version of one of the later patches in
this series, to explicitly specify which compiler to use, I changed
them to basically run:
make CC=$CC
make --quiet test
naively thinking that it should Just Work... but then that 'make
--quiet test' got all clever on me, noticed the changed build flags,
and then proceeded to rebuild everything with the default 'cc'. And
because of that '--quiet' option, it did so, well, quietly, only
saying "* new build flags", and it was by mere luck that I happened to
notice that something is amiss.
Let's just drop that '--quiet' option when running the test suite in
all build scripts.

The commit-graph and multi-pack-index features introduce optional
data structures that are not required for normal Git operations.
It is important to run the normal test suite without them enabled,
but it is helpful to also run the test suite using them.
Our continuous integration scripts include a second test stage that
runs with optional GIT_TEST_* variables enabled. Add the following
two variables to that stage:
GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH
GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX
This will slow down the operation, as we build a commit-graph file
after every 'git commit' operation and build a multi-pack-index
during every 'git repack' operation. However, it is important that
future changes are compatible with these features.

Let's start with some background about oe_delta_size() and
oe_set_delta_size(). If you already know, skip the next paragraph.
These two are added in 0aca34e826 (pack-objects: shrink delta_size
field in struct object_entry - 2018-04-14) to help reduce 'struct
object_entry' size. The delta size field in this struct is reduced to
only contain max 1MB. So if any new delta is produced and larger than
1MB, it's dropped because we can't really save such a large size
anywhere. Fallback is provided in case existing packfiles already have
large deltas, then we can retrieve it from the pack.
While this should help small machines repacking large repos without
large deltas (i.e. less memory pressure), dropping large deltas during
the delta selection process could end up with worse pack files. And if
existing packfiles already have >1MB delta and pack-objects is
instructed to not reuse deltas, all of them will be dropped on the
floor, and the resulting pack would be definitely bigger.
There is also a regression in terms of CPU/IO if we have large on-disk
deltas because fallback code needs to parse the pack every time the
delta size is needed and just access to the mmap'd pack data is enough
for extra page faults when memory is under pressure.
Both of these issues were reported on the mailing list. Here's some
numbers for comparison.
Version Pack (MB) MaxRSS(kB) Time (s)
------- --------- ---------- --------
2.17.0 5498 43513628 2494.85
2.18.0 10531 40449596 4168.94
This patch provides a better fallback that is
- cheaper in terms of cpu and io because we won't have to read
existing pack files as much
- better in terms of pack size because the pack heuristics is back to
2.17.0 time, we do not drop large deltas at all
If we encounter any delta (on-disk or created during try_delta phase)
that is larger than the 1MB limit, we stop using delta_size_ field for
this because it can't contain such size anyway. A new array of delta
size is dynamically allocated and can hold all the deltas that 2.17.0
can. This array only contains delta sizes that delta_size_ can't
contain.
With this, we do not have to drop deltas in try_delta() anymore. Of
course the downside is we use slightly more memory, even compared to
2.17.0. But since this is considered an uncommon case, a bit more
memory consumption should not be a problem.
Delta size limit is also raised from 1MB to 16MB to better cover
common case and avoid that extra memory consumption (99.999% deltas in
this reported repo are under 12MB; Jeff noted binary artifacts topped
out at about 3MB in some other private repos). Other fields are
shuffled around to keep this struct packed tight. We don't use more
memory in common case even with this limit update.
A note about thread synchronization. Since this code can be run in
parallel during delta searching phase, we need a mutex. The realloc
part in packlist_alloc() is not protected because it only happens
during the object counting phase, which is always single-threaded.
Access to e->delta_size_ (and by extension
pack->delta_size[e - pack->objects]) is unprotected as before, the
thread scheduler in pack-objects must make sure "e" is never updated
by two different threads.
The area under the new lock is as small as possible, avoiding locking
at all in common case, since lock contention with high thread count
could be expensive (most blobs are small enough that delta compute
time is short and we end up taking the lock very often). The previous
attempt to always hold a lock in oe_delta_size() and
oe_set_delta_size() increases execution time by 33% when repacking
linux.git with with 40 threads.

Some recent optimizations have been added to pack-objects to reduce
memory usage and some code paths are split into two: one for common
use cases and one for rare ones. Make sure the rare cases are tested
with Travis since it requires manual test configuration that is
unlikely to be done by developers.

Build the executable in 'script' phase in Travis CI integration, to
follow the established practice, rather than during 'before_script'
phase. This allows the CI categorize the failures better ('failed'
is project's fault, 'errored' is build environment's).
* sg/travis-build-during-script-phase:
travis-ci: build Git during the 'script' phase
|
|
Ever since we started building and testing Git on Travis CI (522354d70
(Add Travis CI support, 2015-11-27)), we build Git in the
'before_script' phase and run the test suite in the 'script' phase
(except in the later introduced 32 bit Linux and Windows build jobs,
where we build in the 'script' phase').
Contrarily, the Travis CI practice is to build and test in the
'script' phase; indeed Travis CI's default build command for the
'script' phase of C/C++ projects is:
./configure && make && make test
The reason why Travis CI does it this way and why it's a better
approach than ours lies in how unsuccessful build jobs are
categorized. After something went wrong in a build job, its state can
be:
- 'failed', if a command in the 'script' phase returned an error.
This is indicated by a red 'X' on the Travis CI web interface.
- 'errored', if a command in the 'before_install', 'install', or
'before_script' phase returned an error, or the build job exceeded
the time limit. This is shown as a red '!' on the web interface.
This makes it easier, both for humans looking at the Travis CI web
interface and for automated tools querying the Travis CI API, to
decide when an unsuccessful build is our responsibility requiring
human attention, i.e. when a build job 'failed' because of a compiler
error or a test failure, and when it's caused by something beyond our
control and might be fixed by restarting the build job, e.g. when a
build job 'errored' because a dependency couldn't be installed due to
a temporary network error or because the OSX build job exceeded its
time limit.
The drawback of building Git in the 'before_script' phase is that one
has to check the trace log of all 'errored' build jobs, too, to see
what caused the error, as it might have been caused by a compiler
error. This requires additional clicks and page loads on the web
interface and additional complexity and API requests in automated
tools.
Therefore, move building Git from the 'before_script' phase to the
'script' phase, updating the script's name accordingly as well.
'ci/run-builds.sh' now becomes basically empty, remove it. Several of
our build job configurations override our default 'before_script' to
do nothing; with this change our default 'before_script' won't do
anything, either, so remove those overriding directives as well.
