midx: preliminary support for `--refs-snapshot`
To figure out which commits we can write a bitmap for, the multi-pack
index/bitmap code does a reachability traversal, marking any commit
which can be found in the MIDX as eligible to receive a bitmap.
This approach will cause a problem when multi-pack bitmaps are able to
be generated from `git repack`, since the reference tips can change
during the repack. Even though we ignore commits that don't exist in
the MIDX (when doing a scan of the ref tips), it's possible that a
commit in the MIDX reaches something that isn't.
This can happen when a multi-pack index contains some pack which refers
to loose objects (e.g., if a pack was pushed after starting the repack
but before generating the MIDX which depends on an object which is
stored as loose in the repository, and by definition isn't included in
the multi-pack index).
By taking a snapshot of the references before we start repacking, we can
close that race window. In the above scenario (where we have a packed
object pointing at a loose one), we'll either (a) take a snapshot of the
references before seeing the packed one, or (b) take it after, at which
point we can guarantee that the loose object will be packed and included
in the MIDX.
This patch does just that. It writes a temporary "reference snapshot",
which is a list of OIDs that are at the ref tips before writing a
multi-pack bitmap. References that are "preferred" (i.e,. are a suffix
of at least one value of the 'pack.preferBitmapTips' configuration) are
marked with a special '+'.
The format is simple: one line per commit at each tip, with an optional
'+' at the beginning (for preferred references, as described above).
When provided, the reference snapshot is used to drive bitmap selection
instead of the MIDX code doing its own traversal. When it isn't
provided, the usual traversal takes place instead.

builtin/multi-pack-index.c: support `--stdin-packs` mode
To power a new `--write-midx` mode, `git repack` will want to write a
multi-pack index containing a certain set of packs in the repository.
This new option will be used by `git repack` to write a MIDX which

and compare the two with "perf diff -c delta -o 1 pack.perf midx.perf".

midx: avoid opening multiple MIDXs when writing
Opening multiple instance of the same MIDX can lead to problems like two
separate packed_git structures which represent the same pack being added
to the repository's object store.
The above scenario can happen because prepare_midx_pack() checks if
`m->packs[pack_int_id]` is NULL in order to determine if a pack has been
opened and installed in the repository before. But a caller can
construct two copies of the same MIDX by calling get_multi_pack_index()
and load_multi_pack_index() since the former manipulates the
object store directly but the latter is a lower-level routine which
allocates a new MIDX for each call.
So if prepare_midx_pack() is called on multiple MIDXs with the same
pack_int_id, then that pack will be installed twice in the object
store's packed_git pointer.
This can lead to problems in, for e.g., the pack-bitmap code, which does
something like the following (in pack-bitmap.c:open_pack_bitmap()):
struct bitmap_index *bitmap_git = ...;
for (p = get_all_packs(r); p; p = p->next) {
if (open_pack_bitmap_1(bitmap_git, p) == 0)
ret = 0;
}
which is a problem if two copies of the same pack exist in the
packed_git list because pack-bitmap.c:open_pack_bitmap_1() contains a
conditional like the following:
if (bitmap_git->pack || bitmap_git->midx) {
/* ignore extra bitmap file; we can only handle one */
warning("ignoring extra bitmap file: %s", packfile->pack_name);
close(fd);
return -1;
}
Avoid this scenario by not letting write_midx_internal() open a MIDX
that isn't also pointed at by the object store. So long as this is the
case, other routines should prefer to open MIDXs with
get_multi_pack_index() or reprepare_packed_git() instead of creating
instances on their own. Because get_multi_pack_index() returns
`r->object_store->multi_pack_index` if it is non-NULL, we'll only have
one instance of a MIDX open at one time, avoiding these problems.
To encourage this, drop the `struct multi_pack_index *` parameter from
`write_midx_internal()`, and rely instead on the `object_dir` to find
(or initialize) the correct MIDX instance.
Likewise, replace the call to `close_midx()` with
`close_object_store()`, since we're about to replace the MIDX with a new
one and should invalidate the object store's memory of any MIDX that
might have existed beforehand.
Note that this now forbids passing object directories that don't belong
to alternate repositories over `--object-dir`, since before we would
have happily opened a MIDX in any directory, but now restrict ourselves
to only those reachable by `r->objects->multi_pack_index` (and alternate
MIDXs that we can see by walking the `next` pointer).
As far as I can tell, supporting arbitrary directories with
`--object-dir` was a historical accident, since even the documentation
says `<alt>` when referring to the value passed to this option.

midx: infer preferred pack when not given one
In 9218c6a40c (midx: allow marking a pack as preferred, 2021-03-30), the
multi-pack index code learned how to select a pack which all duplicate
objects are selected from. That is, if an object appears in multiple
packs, select the copy in the preferred pack before breaking ties
according to the other rules like pack mtime and readdir() order.
Not specifying a preferred pack can cause serious problems with
multi-pack reachability bitmaps, because these bitmaps rely on having at
least one pack from which all duplicates are selected. Not having such a
pack causes problems with the code in pack-objects to reuse packs
verbatim (e.g., that code assumes that a delta object in a chunk of pack
sent verbatim will have its base object sent from the same pack).
So why does not marking a pack preferred cause problems here? The reason
is roughly as follows:
- Ties are broken (when handling duplicate objects) by sorting
according to midx_oid_compare(), which sorts objects by OID,
preferred-ness, pack mtime, and finally pack ID (more on that
later).
- The psuedo pack-order (described in
Documentation/technical/pack-format.txt under the section
"multi-pack-index reverse indexes") is computed by
midx_pack_order(), and sorts by pack ID and pack offset, with
preferred packs sorting first.
- But! Pack IDs come from incrementing the pack count in
add_pack_to_midx(), which is a callback to
for_each_file_in_pack_dir(), meaning that pack IDs are assigned in
readdir() order.
When specifying a preferred pack, all of that works fine, because
duplicate objects are correctly resolved in favor of the copy in the
preferred pack, and the preferred pack sorts first in the object order.
"Sorting first" is critical, because the bitmap code relies on finding
out which pack holds the first object in the MIDX's pseudo pack-order to
determine which pack is preferred.
But if we didn't specify a preferred pack, and the pack which comes
first in readdir() order does not also have the lowest timestamp, then
it's possible that that pack (the one that sorts first in pseudo-pack
order, which the bitmap code will treat as the preferred one) did *not*
have all duplicate objects resolved in its favor, resulting in breakage.
The fix is simple: pick a (semi-arbitrary, non-empty) preferred pack
when none was specified. This forces that pack to have duplicates
resolved in its favor, and (critically) to sort first in pseudo-pack
order. Unfortunately, testing this behavior portably isn't possible,
since it depends on readdir() order which isn't guaranteed by POSIX.
(Note that multi-pack reachability bitmaps have yet to be implemented;
so in that sense this patch is fixing a bug which does not yet exist.
But by having this patch beforehand, we can prevent the bug from ever
materializing.)

midx: reject empty `--preferred-pack`'s
The soon-to-be-implemented multi-pack bitmap treats object in the first
bit position specially by assuming that all objects in the pack it was
selected from are also represented from that pack in the MIDX. In other
words, the pack from which the first object was selected must also have
all of its other objects selected from that same pack in the MIDX in
case of any duplicates.
But this assumption relies on the fact that there is at least one object
in that pack to begin with; otherwise the object in the first bit
position isn't from a preferred pack, in which case we can no longer
assume that all objects in that pack were also selected from the same
pack.
Guard this assumption by checking the number of objects in the given
preferred pack, and failing if the given pack is empty.
To make sure we can safely perform this check, open any packs which are
contained in an existing MIDX via prepare_midx_pack(). The same is done
for new packs via the add_pack_to_midx() callback, but packs picked up
from a previous MIDX will not yet have these opened.

midx: disallow running outside of a repository
The multi-pack-index command supports working with arbitrary object
directories via the `--object-dir` flag. Though this has historically
worked in arbitrary repositories (including when the command itself was
run outside of a Git repository), this has been somewhat of an accident.
outside of a Git repository causes a BUG(). This is because the
top-level `cmd_multi_pack_index()` function stops parsing when it sees
"write", and then fills in the default object directory (the result of
calling `get_object_directory()`) before handing off to
`cmd_multi_pack_index_write()`. But there is no repository to
initialize, and so calling `get_object_directory()` results in a BUG()
(indicating that the current repository is not initialized).
Another case where this doesn't quite work as expected is when operating
in a SHA-256 repository. To see the failure, try this in your shell:
and observe that we cannot open the `.idx` file in "repo", because the
outermost process assumes that any repository that it works in also uses
the default value of `the_hash_algo` (at the time of writing, SHA-1).
There may be compelling reasons for trying to work around these bugs,
but working in arbitrary `--object-dir`'s is non-standard enough (and
likewise, these bugs prevalent enough) that I don't think any workflows
would be broken by abandoning this behavior.
Accordingly, restrict the `multi-pack-index` builtin to only work when
inside of a Git repository (i.e., its main utility becomes selecting
which alternate to operate in), which avoids both of the bugs above.
(Note that you can still trigger a bug when writing a MIDX in an
alternate which does not use the same object format as the repository
which it is an alternate of, but that is an unrelated bug to this one).

Documentation: describe MIDX-based bitmaps
Update the technical documentation to describe the multi-pack bitmap
format. This patch merely introduces the new format, and describes its
high-level ideas. Git does not yet know how to read nor write these
multi-pack variants, and so the subsequent patches will:
- Introduce code to interpret multi-pack bitmaps, according to this
document.
- Then, introduce code to write multi-pack bitmaps from the 'git
multi-pack-index write' sub-command.
Finally, the implementation will gain tests in subsequent patches (as
opposed to inline with the patch teaching Git how to write multi-pack
bitmaps) to avoid a cyclic dependency.

pack-bitmap-write.c: free existing bitmaps
When writing a new bitmap, the bitmap writer code attempts to read the
existing bitmap (if one is present). This is done in order to quickly
permute the bits of any bitmaps for commits which appear in the existing
bitmap, and were also selected for the new bitmap.
But since this code was added in 341fa34887 (pack-bitmap-write: use
existing bitmaps, 2020-12-08), the resources associated with opening an
existing bitmap were never released.
It's fine to ignore this, but it's bad hygiene. It will also cause a
problem for the multi-pack-index builtin, which will be responsible not
only for writing bitmaps, but also for expiring any old multi-pack
bitmaps.
If an existing bitmap was reused here, it will also be expired. That
will cause a problem on platforms which require file resources to be
closed before unlinking them, like Windows. Avoid this by ensuring we
close reused bitmaps with free_bitmap_index() before removing them.

pack-bitmap-write.c: gracefully fail to write non-closed bitmaps
The set of objects covered by a bitmap must be closed under
reachability, since it must be the case that there is a valid bit
position assigned for every possible reachable object (otherwise the
bitmaps would be incomplete).
Pack bitmaps are never written from 'git repack' unless repacking
all-into-one, and so we never write non-closed bitmaps (except in the
case of partial clones where we aren't guaranteed to have all objects).
But multi-pack bitmaps change this, since it isn't known whether the
set of objects in the MIDX is closed under reachability until walking
them. Plumb through a bit that is set when a reachable object isn't
found.
As soon as a reachable object isn't found in the set of objects to
include in the bitmap, bitmap_writer_build() knows that the set is not
closed, and so it now fails gracefully.
A test is added in t0410 to trigger a bitmap write without full
reachability closure by removing local copies of some reachable objects
from a promisor remote.

pack-bitmap.c: harden 'test_bitmap_walk()' to check type bitmaps
The special `--test-bitmap` mode of `git rev-list` is used to compare
the result of an object traversal with a bitmap to check its integrity.
This mode does not, however, assert that the types of reachable objects
are stored correctly.
Harden this mode by teaching it to also check that each time an object's
bit is marked, the corresponding bit should be set in exactly one of the
type bitmaps (whose type matches the object's true type).

oidtree: avoid unaligned access to crit-bit tree
The flexible array member "k" of struct cb_node is used to store the key
of the crit-bit tree node. It offers no alignment guarantees -- in fact
the current struct layout puts it one byte after a 4-byte aligned
address, i.e. guaranteed to be misaligned.
oidtree uses a struct object_id as cb_node key. Since cf0983213c (hash:
add an algo member to struct object_id, 2021-04-26) it requires 4-byte
alignment. The mismatch is reported by UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer at
runtime like this:
hash.h:277:2: runtime error: member access within misaligned address 0x00015000802d for type 'struct object_id', which requires 4 byte alignment
0x00015000802d: note: pointer points here

SUMMARY: UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer: undefined-behavior hash.h:277:2 in
We can fix that by:
1. eliminating the alignment requirement of struct object_id,
2. providing the alignment in struct cb_node, or
3. avoiding the issue by only using memcpy to access "k".
Currently we only store one of two values in "algo" in struct object_id.
We could use a uint8_t for that instead and widen it only once we add
support for our twohundredth algorithm or so. That would not only avoid
alignment issues, but also reduce the memory requirements for each
instance of struct object_id by ca. 9%.
Supporting keys with alignment requirements might be useful to spread
the use of crit-bit trees. It can be achieved by using a wider type for
"k" (e.g. uintmax_t), using different types for the members "byte" and
"otherbits" (e.g. uint16_t or uint32_t for each), or by avoiding the use
of flexible arrays like khash.h does.
This patch implements the third option, though, because it has the least
potential for causing side-effects and we're close to the next release.
If one of the other options is implemented later as well to get their
additional benefits we can get rid of the extra copies introduced here.

Revert 'diff-merges: let "-m" imply "-p"'
This reverts commit f5bfcc823ba242a46e20fb6f71c9fbf7ebb222fe, which
made "git log -m" imply "--patch" by default. The logic was that
"-m", which makes diff generation for merges perform a diff against
each parent, has no use unless I am viewing the diff, so we could save
the user some typing by turning on display of the resulting diff
automatically. That wasn't expected to adversely affect scripts
because scripts would either be using a command like "git diff-tree"
that already emits diffs by default or would be combining -m with a
diff generation option such as --name-status. By saving typing for
interactive use without adversely affecting scripts in the wild, it
would be a pure improvement.
The problem is that although diff generation options are only relevant
for the displayed diff, a script author can imagine them affecting
path limiting. For example, I might run
git log -w --format=%H -- README
hoping to list commits that edited README, excluding whitespace-only
changes. In fact, a whitespace-only change is not TREESAME so the use
of -w here has no effect (since we don't apply these diff generation
flags to the diff_options struct rev_info::pruning used for this
purpose), but the documentation suggests that it should work
Suppose you specified foo as the <paths>. We shall call
commits that modify foo !TREESAME, and the rest TREESAME. (In
a diff filtered for foo, they look different and equal,
respectively.)
and a script author who has not tested whitespace-only changes
wouldn't notice.
Similarly, a script author could include
git log -m --first-parent --format=%H -- README
to filter the first-parent history for commits that modified README.
The -m is a no-op but it reflects the script author's intent. For
example, until 1e20a407fe2 (stash list: stop passing "-m" to "git
log", 2021-05-21), "git stash list" did this.
As a result, we can't safely change "-m" to imply "-p" without fear of
breaking such scripts. Restore the previous behavior.
Noticed because Rust's src/bootstrap/bootstrap.py made use of this
same construct: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/87513. That
script has been updated to omit the unnecessary "-m" option, but we
can expect other scripts in the wild to have similar expectations.
