* git: add performance tracing for git's main() function to debug scriptsKarsten Blees2014-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use trace_performance to measure and print execution time and command line arguments of the entire main() function. In constrast to the shell's 'time' utility, which measures total time of the parent process, this logs all involved git commands recursively. This is particularly useful to debug performance issues of scripted commands (i.e. which git commands were called with which parameters, and how long did they execute). Due to git's deliberate use of exit(), the implementation uses an atexit routine rather than just adding trace_performance_since() at the end of main(). Usage example: > GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=~/git-trace.log git stash list Creates a log file like this: 23:57:38.638765 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000310107 s: git command: 'git' 'rev-parse' '--git-dir' 23:57:38.644387 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000261759 s: git command: 'git' 'rev-parse' '--show-toplevel' 23:57:38.646207 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000304468 s: git command: 'git' 'config' '--get-colorbool' 'color.interactive' 23:57:38.648491 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000241667 s: git command: 'git' 'config' '--get-color' 'color.interactive.help' 'red bold' 23:57:38.650465 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000243063 s: git command: 'git' 'config' '--get-color' '' 'reset' 23:57:38.654850 trace.c:405 performance: 0.025126313 s: git command: 'git' 'stash' 'list' Signed-off-by: Karsten Blees <blees@dcon.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* trace: add trace_performance facility to debug performance issuesKarsten Blees2014-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add trace_performance and trace_performance_since macros that print a duration and an optional printf-formatted text to the file specified in environment variable GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE. These macros, in conjunction with getnanotime(), are intended to simplify performance measurements from within the application (i.e. profiling via manual instrumentation, rather than using an external profiling tool). Unless enabled via GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE, these macros have no noticeable impact on performance, so that test code for well known time killers may be shipped in release builds. Alternatively, a developer could provide an additional performance patch (not meant for master) that allows reviewers to reproduce performance tests more easily, e.g. on other platforms or using their own repositories. Usage examples: Simple use case (measure one code section): uint64_t start = getnanotime(); /* code section to measure */ trace_performance_since(start, "foobar"); Complex use case (measure repetitive code sections): uint64_t t = 0; for (;;) { /* ignore */ t -= getnanotime(); /* code section to measure */ t += getnanotime(); /* ignore */ } trace_performance(t, "frotz"); Signed-off-by: Karsten Blees <blees@dcon.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* trace: add high resolution timer function to debug performance issuesKarsten Blees2014-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a getnanotime() function that returns nanoseconds since 01/01/1970 as unsigned 64-bit integer (i.e. overflows in july 2554). This is easier to work with than e.g. struct timeval or struct timespec. Basing the timer on the epoch allows using the results with other time-related APIs. To simplify adaption to different platforms, split the implementation into a common getnanotime() and a platform-specific highres_nanos() function. The common getnanotime() function handles errors, falling back to gettimeofday() if highres_nanos() isn't implemented or doesn't work. getnanotime() is also responsible for normalizing to the epoch. The offset to the system clock is calculated only once on initialization, i.e. manually setting the system clock has no impact on the timer (except if the fallback gettimeofday() is in use). Git processes are typically short lived, so we don't need to handle clock drift. The highres_nanos() function returns monotonically increasing nanoseconds relative to some arbitrary point in time (e.g. system boot), or 0 on failure. Providing platform-specific implementations should be relatively easy, e.g. adapting to clock_gettime() as defined by the POSIX realtime extensions is seven lines of code. This version includes highres_nanos() implementations for: * Linux: using clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) * Windows: using QueryPerformanceCounter() Todo: * enable clock_gettime() on more platforms * add Mac OSX version, e.g. using mach_absolute_time + mach_timebase_info Signed-off-by: Karsten Blees <blees@dcon.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* trace: add 'file:line' to all trace outputKarsten Blees2014-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is useful to see where trace output came from. Add 'const char *file, int line' parameters to the printing functions and rename them to *_fl. Add trace_printf* and trace_strbuf macros resolving to the *_fl functions and let the preprocessor fill in __FILE__ and __LINE__. As the trace_printf* functions take a variable number of arguments, this requires variadic macros (i.e. '#define foo(...) foo_impl(__VA_ARGS__)'. Though part of C99, it is unclear whether older compilers support this. Thus keep the old functions and only enable variadic macros for GNUC and MSVC 2005+ (_MSC_VER 1400). This has the nice side effect that the old C-style declarations serve as documentation how the macros are to be used. Print 'file:line ' as prefix to each trace line. Align the remaining trace output at column 40 to accommodate 18 char file names + 4 digit line number (currently there are 30 *.c files of length 18 and just 11 of 19). Trace output from longer source files (e.g. builtin/receive-pack.c) will not be aligned. Signed-off-by: Karsten Blees <blees@dcon.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* trace: add infrastructure to augment trace output with additional infoKarsten Blees2014-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To be able to add a common prefix or suffix to all trace output (e.g. a timestamp or file:line of the caller), factor out common setup and cleanup tasks of the trace* functions. When adding a common prefix, it makes sense that the output of each trace call starts on a new line. Add '\n' in case the caller forgot. Note that this explicitly limits trace output to line-by-line, it is no longer possible to trace-print just part of a line. Until now, this was just an implicit assumption (trace-printing part of a line worked, but messed up the trace file if multiple threads or processes were involved). Thread-safety / inter-process-safety is also the reason why we need to do the prefixing and suffixing in memory rather than issuing multiple write() calls. Write_or_whine_pipe() / xwrite() is atomic unless the size exceeds MAX_IO_SIZE (8MB, see wrapper.c). In case of trace_strbuf, this costs an additional string copy (which should be irrelevant for performance in light of actual file IO). While we're at it, rename trace_strbuf's 'buf' argument, which suggests that the function is modifying the buffer. Trace_strbuf() currently is the only trace API that can print arbitrary binary data (without barfing on '%' or stopping at '\0'), so 'data' seems more appropriate.

* trace: improve trace performanceKarsten Blees2014-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The trace API currently rechecks the environment variable and reopens the trace file on every API call. This has the ugly side effect that errors (e.g. file cannot be opened, or the user specified a relative path) are also reported on every call. Performance can be improved by about factor three by remembering the environment state and keeping the file open. Replace the 'const char *key' parameter in the API with a pointer to a 'struct trace_key' that bundles the environment variable name with additional, trace-internal state. Change the call sites of these APIs to use a static 'struct trace_key' instead of a string constant. In trace.c::get_trace_fd(), save and reuse the file descriptor in 'struct trace_key'. Add a 'trace_disable()' API, so that packet_trace() can cleanly disable tracing when it encounters packed data (instead of using unsetenv()).

* shallow.c: the 8 steps to select new commits for .git/shallowNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy2013-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Suppose a fetch or push is requested between two shallow repositories (with no history deepening or shortening). A pack that contains necessary objects is transferred over together with .git/shallow of the sender. The receiver has to determine whether it needs to update .git/shallow if new refs needs new shallow comits. The rule here is avoid updating .git/shallow by default. But we don't want to waste the received pack. If the pack contains two refs, one needs new shallow commits installed in .git/shallow and one does not, we keep the latter and reject/warn about the former. Even if .git/shallow update is allowed, we only add shallow commits strictly necessary for the former ref (remember the sender can send more shallow commits than necessary) and pay attention not to accidentally cut the receiver history short (no history shortening is asked for) So the steps to figure out what ref need what new shallow commits are: 1. Split the sender shallow commit list into "ours" and "theirs" list by has_sha1_file. Those that exist in current repo in "ours", the remaining in "theirs". 2. Check the receiver .git/shallow, remove from "ours" the ones that also exist in .git/shallow. 3. Fetch the new pack. Either install or unpack it. 4. Do has_sha1_file on "theirs" list again. Drop the ones that fail has_sha1_file. Obviously the new pack does not need them. 5. If the pack is kept, remove from "ours" the ones that do not exist in the new pack. 6. Walk the new refs to answer the question "what shallow commits, both ours and theirs, are required in .git/shallow in order to add this ref?". Shallow commits not associated to any refs are removed from their respective list. 7. (*) Check reachability (from the current refs) of all remaining commits in "ours". Those reachable are removed. We do not want to cut any part of our (reachable) history. We only check up commits. True reachability test is done by check_everything_connected() at the end as usual. 8. Combine the final "ours" and "theirs" and add them all to .git/shallow. Install new refs. The case where some hook rejects some refs on a push is explained in more detail in the push patches. Of these steps, #6 and #7 are expensive. Both require walking through some commits, or in the worst case all commits. And we rather avoid them in at least common case, where the transferred pack does not contain any shallow commits that the sender advertises. Let's look at each scenario: 1) the sender has longer history than the receiver All shallow commits from the sender will be put into "theirs" list at step 1 because none of them exists in current repo. In the common case, "theirs" becomes empty at step 4 and exit early. 2) the sender has shorter history than the receiver All shallow commits from the sender are likely in "ours" list at step 1. In the common case, if the new pack is kept, we could empty "ours" and exit early at step 5. If the pack is not kept, we hit the expensive step 6 then exit after "ours" is emptied. There'll be only a handful of objects to walk in fast-forward case. If it's forced update, we may need to walk to the bottom. 3) the sender has same .git/shallow as the receiver This is similar to case 2 except that "ours" should be emptied at step 2 and exit early. A fetch after "clone --depth=X" is case 1. A fetch after "clone" (from a shallow repo) is case 3. Luckily they're cheap for the common case. A push from "clone --depth=X" falls into case 2, which is expensive. Some more work may be done at the sender/client side to avoid more work on the server side: if the transferred pack does not contain any shallow commits, send-pack should not send any shallow commits to the receive-pack, effectively turning it into a normal push and avoid all steps. This patch implements all steps except #3, already handled by fetch-pack and receive-pack, #6 and #7, which has their own patch due to their size. (*) in previous versions step 7 was put before step 3. I reorder it so that the common case that keeps the pack does not need to walk commits at all. In future if we implement faster commit reachability check (maybe with the help of pack bitmaps or commit cache), step 7 could become cheap and be moved up before 6 again.

* add missing "format" function attributesJeff King2013-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For most of our functions that take printf-like formats, we use gcc's __attribute__((format)) to get compiler warnings when the functions are misused. Let's give a few more functions the same protection. In most cases, the annotations do not uncover any actual bugs; the only code change needed is that we passed a size_t to transfer_debug, which expected an int. Since we expect the passed-in value to be a relatively small buffer size (and cast a similar value to int directly below), we can just cast away the problem.

* Handle broken vsnprintf implementations in strbufShawn O. Pearce2007-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Solaris 9's vsnprintf implementation returns -1 if we pass it a buffer of length 0. The only way to get it to give us the actual length necessary for the formatted string is to grow the buffer out to have at least 1 byte available in the strbuf and then ask it to compute the length. If the available space is 0 I'm growing it out by 64 to ensure we will get an accurate length estimate from all implementations. Some callers may need to grow the strbuf again but 64 should be a reasonable enough initial growth. We also no longer silently fail to append to the string when we are faced with a broken vsnprintf implementation.

* git-branch, git-checkout: autosetup for remote branch trackingPaolo Bonzini2007-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to track and build on top of a branch 'topic' you track from your upstream repository, you often would end up doing this sequence: git checkout -b mytopic origin/topic git config --add branch.mytopic.remote origin git config --add branch.mytopic.merge refs/heads/topic This would first fork your own 'mytopic' branch from the 'topic' branch you track from the 'origin' repository; then it would set up two configuration variables so that 'git pull' without parameters does the right thing while you are on your own 'mytopic' branch. This commit adds a --track option to git-branch, so that "git branch --track mytopic origin/topic" performs the latter two actions when creating your 'mytopic' branch. If the configuration variable branch.autosetupmerge is set to true, you do not have to pass the --track option explicitly; further patches in this series allow setting the variable with a "git remote add" option. The configuration variable is off by default, and there is a --no-track option to countermand it even if the variable is set.

* short i/o: clean up the naming for the write_{in,or}_xxx familyAndy Whitcroft2007-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We recently introduced a write_in_full() which would either write the specified object or emit an error message and fail. In order to fix the read side we now want to introduce a read_in_full() but without an error emit. This patch cleans up the naming of this family of calls: 1) convert the existing write_or_whine() to write_or_whine_pipe() to better indicate its pipe specific nature, 2) convert the existing write_in_full() calls to write_or_whine() to better indicate its nature, 3) introduce a write_in_full() providing a write or fail semantic, and 4) convert write_or_whine() and write_or_whine_pipe() to use write_in_full().

* Trace into a file or an open fd and refactor tracing code.Christian Couder2006-09-02
If GIT_TRACE is set to an absolute path (starting with a '/' character), we interpret this as a file path and we trace into it. Also if GIT_TRACE is set to an integer value greater than 1 and lower than 10, we interpret this as an open fd value and we trace into it. Note that this behavior is not compatible with the previous one. We also trace whole messages using one write(2) call to make sure messages from processes do net get mixed up in the middle. This patch makes it possible to get trace information when running "make test". Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
