* Convert memcpy(a,b,20) to hashcpy(a,b).Shawn Pearce2006-08-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This abstracts away the size of the hash values when copying them from memory location to memory location, much as the introduction of hashcmp abstracted away hash value comparsion. A few call sites were using char* rather than unsigned char* so I added the cast rather than open hashcpy to be void*. This is a reasonable tradeoff as most call sites already use unsigned char* and the existing hashcmp is also declared to be unsigned char*. [jc: Splitted the patch to "master" part, to be followed by a patch for merge-recursive.c which is not in "master" yet. Fixed the cast in the latter hunk to combine-diff.c which was wrong in the original. Also converted ones left-over in combine-diff.c, diff-lib.c and upload-pack.c ] Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

* Remove TYPE_* constant macros and use object_type enums consistently.Linus Torvalds2006-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This updates the type-enumeration constants introduced to reduce the memory footprint of "struct object" to match the type bits already used in the packfile format, by removing the former (i.e. TYPE_* constant macros) and using the latter (i.e. enum object_type) throughout the code for consistency. Eventually we can stop passing around the "type strings" entirely, and this will help - no confusion about two different integer enumeration.

* git object hash cleanupsv1.4.1Linus Torvalds2006-07-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Abstract out accesses to object hash arrayLinus Torvalds2006-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a few special places where some programs accessed the object hash array directly, which bothered me because I wanted to play with some simple re-organizations. So this patch makes the object hash array data structures all entirely local to object.c, and the few users who wanted to look at it now get to use a function to query how many object index entries there can be, and to actually access the array.

* Add "named object array" conceptLinus Torvalds2006-06-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Remove "refs" field from "struct object"Linus Torvalds2006-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Shrink "struct object" a bitLinus Torvalds2006-06-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Fix object re-hashingLinus Torvalds2006-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. This patch only does the trivial fix) [jc: with trivial fix on trivial fix] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ISO C99 (and GCC 3.x or later) lets you write a flexible array at the end of a structure, like this: struct frotz { int xyzzy; char nitfol[]; /* more */ }; GCC 2.95 and 2.96 let you to do this with "char nitfol[0]"; unfortunately this is not allowed by ISO C90. This declares such construct like this: struct frotz { int xyzzy; char nitfol[FLEX_ARRAY]; /* more */ }; and git-compat-util.h defines FLEX_ARRAY to 0 for gcc 2.95 and empty for others. If you are using a C90 C compiler, you should be able to override this with CFLAGS=-DFLEX_ARRAY=1 from the command line of "make". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* Rework object refs tracking to reduce memory usageSergey Vlasov2005-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Store pointers to referenced objects in a variable sized array instead of linked list. This cuts down memory usage of utilities which use object references; e.g., git-fsck-objects --full on the git.git repository consumes about 2 MB of memory tracked by Massif instead of 7 MB before the change. Object refs are still the biggest consumer of memory (57%), but the malloc overhead for a single block instead of a linked list is substantially smaller.

* [PATCH] Avoid building object ref lists when not neededLinus Torvalds2005-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The object parsing code builds a generic "this object references that object" because doing a full connectivity check for fsck requires it. However, nothing else really needs it, and it's quite expensive for git-rev-list that can have tons of objects in flight. So, exactly like the commit buffer save thing, add a global flag to disable it, and use it in git-rev-list.

Calculating the total object difference between two git revisions is still clearly the most expensive git operation (both in memory and CPU time), but it's now less than 40% of what it used to be.
