2013-03-17avoid segfaults on parse_object failureJeff King
Many call-sites of parse_object assume that they will get a non-NULL return value; this is not the case if we encounter an error while parsing the object. This patch adds a wrapper function around parse_object that handles dying automatically, and uses it anywhere we immediately try to access the return value as a non-NULL pointer (i.e., anywhere that we would currently segfault). This wrapper may also be useful in other places. The most obvious one is code like: o = parse_object(sha1); if (!o) die(...); However, these should not be mechanically converted to parse_object_or_die, as the die message is sometimes customized. Later patches can address these sites on a case-by-case basis. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-03-30Teach revision walking machinery to walk multiple times sequenciallyHeiko Voigt
Previously it was not possible to iterate revisions twice using the revision walking api. We add a reset_revision_walk() which clears the used flags. This allows us to do multiple sequencial revision walks. We add the appropriate calls to the existing submodule machinery doing revision walks. This is done to avoid surprises if future code wants to call these functions more than once during the processes lifetime.

2012-03-07parse_object: avoid putting whole blob in coreNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
Traditionally, all the callers of check_sha1_signature() first called read_sha1_file() to prepare the whole object data in core, and called this function. The function is used to revalidate what we read from the object database actually matches the object name we used to ask for the data from the object database. Update the API to allow callers to pass NULL as the object data, and have the function read and hash the object data using streaming API to recompute the object name, without having to hold everything in core at the same time. This is most useful in parse_object() that parses a blob object, because this caller does not have to keep the actual blob data around in memory after a "struct blob" is returned.

2012-01-05parse_object: try internal cache before reading object dbJeff King
When parse_object is called, we do the following: 1. read the object data into a buffer via read_sha1_file 2. call parse_object_buffer, which then: a. calls the appropriate lookup_{commit,tree,blob,tag} to either create a new "struct object", or to find an existing one. We know the appropriate type from the lookup in step 1. b. calls the appropriate parse_{commit,tree,blob,tag} to parse the buffer for the new (or existing) object In step 2b, all of the called functions are no-ops for object "X" if "X->object.parsed" is set. I.e., when we have already parsed an object, we end up going to a lot of work just to find out at a low level that there is nothing left for us to do (and we throw away the data from read_sha1_file unread). We can optimize this by moving the check for "do we have an in-memory object" from 2a before the expensive call to read_sha1_file in step 1. This might seem circular, since step 2a uses the type information determined in step 1 to call the appropriate lookup function. However, we can notice that all of the lookup_* functions are backed by lookup_object. In other words, all of the objects are kept in a master hash table, and we don't actually need the type to do the "do we have it" part of the lookup, only to do the "and create it if it doesn't exist" part. This can save time whenever we call parse_object on the same sha1 twice in a single program. Some code paths already perform this optimization manually, with either: if (!obj->parsed) obj = parse_object(obj->sha1); if you already have a "struct object", or: struct object *obj = lookup_unknown_object(sha1); if (!obj || !obj->parsed) obj = parse_object(sha1); if you don't. This patch moves the optimization into parse_object itself. Most git operations won't notice any impact. Either they don't parse a lot of duplicate sha1s, or the calling code takes special care not to re-parse objects. I timed two code paths that do benefit (there may be more, but these two were immediately obvious and easy to time). The first is fast-export, which calls parse_object on each object it outputs, like this: object = parse_object(sha1); if (!object) die(...); if (object->flags & SHOWN) return; which means that just to realize we have already shown an object, we will read the whole object from disk! With this patch, my best-of-five time for "fast-export --all" on git.git dropped from 26.3s to 21.3s. The second case is upload-pack, which will call parse_object for each advertised ref (because it needs to peel tags to show "^{}" entries). This doesn't matter for most repositories, because they don't have a lot of refs pointing to the same objects. However, if you have a big alternates repository with a shared object db for a number of child repositories, then the alternates repository will have duplicated refs representing each of its children. For example, GitHub's alternates repository for git.git has ~120,000 refs, of which only ~3200 are unique. The time for upload-pack to print its list of advertised refs dropped from 3.4s to 0.76s.

2010-09-04parse_object: pass on the original sha1, not the replaced oneNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
Commit 0e87c36 (object: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1) changed the first argument passed to parse_object_buffer() from "sha1" to "repl". With that change, the returned obj pointer has the replacement SHA1 in obj->sha1, not the original one. But when using lookup_commit() and then parse_commit() on a commit, we get an object pointer with the original sha1, but the commit content comes from the replacement commit. So the result we get from using parse_object() is different from the we get from using lookup_commit() followed by parse_commit(). It looks much simpler and safer to fix this inconsistency by passing "sha1" to parse_object_bufer() instead of "repl". The commit comment should be used to tell the the replacement commit is replacing another commit and why. So it should be easy to see that we have a replacement commit instead of an original one. And it is not a problem if the content of the commit is not consistent with the sha1 as cat-file piped to hash-object can be used to see the difference.

2010-04-20fix "bundle --stdin" segfaultJonathan Nieder
When passed an empty list, objects_array_remove_duplicates() corrupts it by changing the number of entries from 0 to 1. The problem lies in the condition of its main loop: for (ref = 0; ref < array->nr - 1; ref++) { The loop body manipulates the supplied object array. In the case of an empty array, it should not be doing anything at all. But array->nr is an unsigned quantity, so the code enters the loop, in particular increasing array->nr. Fix this by comparing (ref + 1 < array->nr) instead. This bug can be triggered by git bundle --stdin: $ echo HEAD | git bundle create some.bundle --stdin’ Segmentation fault (core dumped) The list of commits to bundle appears to be empty because of another bug: by the time the revision-walking machinery gets to look at it, standard input has already been consumed by rev-list, so this function gets an empty list of revisions. After this patch, git bundle --stdin still does not work; it just doesn’t segfault any more.

This IMNSHO cleans up the object hashing. The hash expansion is separated out into a function of its own, the hash array (and size) names are made more obvious, and the code is generally made to look a bit more like the object-ref hashing. It also gets rid of "find_object()" returning an index (or negative position if no object is found), since that is made redundant by the simplified object rehashing. The basic operation is now "lookup_object()" which just returns the object itself. There's an almost unmeasurable speed increase, but more importantly, I think the end result is more readable.

2006-06-20Add "named object array" conceptLinus Torvalds
We've had this notion of a "object_list" for a long time, which eventually grew a "name" member because some users (notably git-rev-list) wanted to name each object as it is generated. That object_list is great for some things, but it isn't all that wonderful for others, and the "name" member is generally not used by everybody. This patch splits the users of the object_list array up into two: the traditional list users, who want the list-like format, and who don't actually use or want the name. And another class of users that really used the list as an extensible array, and generally wanted to name the objects. The patch is fairly straightforward, but it's also biggish. Most of it really just cleans things up: switching the revision parsing and listing over to the array makes things like the builtin-diff usage much simpler (we now see exactly how many members the array has, and we don't get the objects reversed from the order they were on the command line). One of the main reasons for doing this at all is that the malloc overhead of the simple object list was actually pretty high, and the array is just a lot denser. So this patch brings down memory usage by git-rev-list by just under 3% (on top of all the other memory use optimizations) on the mozilla archive. It does add more lines than it removes, and more importantly, it adds a whole new infrastructure for maintaining lists of objects, but on the other hand, the new dynamic array code is pretty obvious. The change to builtin-diff-tree.c shows a fairly good example of why an array interface is sometimes more natural, and just much simpler for everybody.

2006-06-18Remove "refs" field from "struct object"Linus Torvalds
This shrinks "struct object" to the absolutely minimal size possible. It now contains /only/ the object flags and the SHA1 hash name of the object. The "refs" field, which is really needed only for fsck, is maintained in a separate hashed lookup-table, allowing all normal users to totally ignore it. This helps memory usage, although not as much as I hoped: it looks like the allocation overhead of malloc (and the alignment constraints in particular) means that while the structure size shrinks, the actual allocation overhead mostly does not. [ That said: memory usage is actually down, but not as much as it should be: I suspect just one of the object types actually ended up shrinking its effective allocation size. To get to the next level, we probably need specialized allocators that don't pad the allocation more than necessary. ] The separation makes for some code cleanup, though, and makes the ref tracking that fsck wants a clearly separate thing.

2006-06-18Shrink "struct object" a bitLinus Torvalds
This shrinks "struct object" by a small amount, by getting rid of the "struct type *" pointer and replacing it with a 3-bit bitfield instead. In addition, we merge the bitfields and the "flags" field, which incidentally should also remove a useless 4-byte padding from the object when in 64-bit mode. Now, our "struct object" is still too damn large, but it's now less obviously bloated, and of the remaining fields, only the "util" (which is not used by most things) is clearly something that should be eventually discarded. This shrinks the "git-rev-list --all" memory use by about 2.5% on the kernel archive (and, perhaps more importantly, on the larger mozilla archive). That may not sound like much, but I suspect it's more on a 64-bit platform. There are other remaining inefficiencies (the parent lists, for example, probably have horrible malloc overhead), but this was pretty obvious. Most of the patch is just changing the comparison of the "type" pointer from one of the constant string pointers to the appropriate new TYPE_xxx small integer constant.

2006-02-12Fix object re-hashingLinus Torvalds
The hashed object lookup had a subtle bug in re-hashing: it did for (i = 0; i < count; i++) if (objs[i]) { .. rehash .. where "count" was the old hash couny. Oon the face of it is obvious, since it clearly re-hashes all the old objects. However, it's wrong. If the last old hash entry before re-hashing was in use (or became in use by the re-hashing), then when re-hashing could have inserted an object into the hash entries with idx >= count due to overflow. When we then rehash the last old entry, that old entry might become empty, which means that the overflow entries should be re-hashed again. In other words, the loop has to be fixed to either traverse the whole array, rather than just the old count. (There's room for a slight optimization: instead of counting all the way up, we can break when we see the first empty slot that is above the old "count". At that point we know we don't have any collissions that we might have to fix up any more.
