12 months agocommit-graph: ensure Bloom filters are read with consistent settings
Taylor Blau [Tue, 25 Jun 2024 17:39:16 +0000 (13:39 -0400)] 
commit-graph: ensure Bloom filters are read with consistent settings

The changed-path Bloom filter mechanism is parameterized by a couple of
variables, notably the number of bits per hash (typically "m" in Bloom
filter literature) and the number of hashes themselves (typically "k").

It is critically important that filters are read with the Bloom filter
settings that they were written with. Failing to do so would mean that
each query is liable to compute different fingerprints, meaning that the
filter itself could return a false negative. This goes against a basic
assumption of using Bloom filters (that they may return false positives,
but never false negatives) and can lead to incorrect results.

We have some existing logic to carry forward existing Bloom filter
settings from one layer to the next. In `write_commit_graph()`, we have
something like:

    if (!(flags & COMMIT_GRAPH_NO_WRITE_BLOOM_FILTERS)) {
        struct commit_graph *g = ctx->r->objects->commit_graph;

        /* We have changed-paths already. Keep them in the next graph */
        if (g && g->chunk_bloom_data) {
            ctx->changed_paths = 1;
            ctx->bloom_settings = g->bloom_filter_settings;
        }
    }

, which drags forward Bloom filter settings across adjacent layers.

This doesn't quite address all cases, however, since it is possible for
intermediate layers to contain no Bloom filters at all. For example,
suppose we have two layers in a commit-graph chain, say, {G1, G2}. If G1
contains Bloom filters, but G2 doesn't, a new G3 (whose base graph is
G2) may be written with arbitrary Bloom filter settings, because we only
check the immediately adjacent layer's settings for compatibility.

This behavior has existed since the introduction of changed-path Bloom
filters. But in practice, this is not such a big deal, since the only
way up until this point to modify the Bloom filter settings at write
time is with the undocumented environment variables:

  - GIT_TEST_BLOOM_SETTINGS_BITS_PER_ENTRY
  - GIT_TEST_BLOOM_SETTINGS_NUM_HASHES
  - GIT_TEST_BLOOM_SETTINGS_MAX_CHANGED_PATHS

(it is still possible to tweak MAX_CHANGED_PATHS between layers, but
this does not affect reads, so is allowed to differ across multiple
graph layers).

But in future commits, we will introduce another parameter to change the
hash algorithm used to compute Bloom fingerprints itself. This will be
exposed via a configuration setting, making this foot-gun easier to use.

To prevent this potential issue, validate that all layers of a split
commit-graph have compatible settings with the newest layer which
contains Bloom filters.

Taylor Blau [Tue, 25 Jun 2024 17:39:13 +0000 (13:39 -0400)] 
revision.c: consult Bloom filters for root commits

The commit-graph stores changed-path Bloom filters which represent the
set of paths included in a tree-level diff between a commit's root tree
and that of its parent.

When a commit has no parents, the tree-diff is computed against that
commit's root tree and the empty tree. In other words, every path in
that commit's tree is stored in the Bloom filter (since they all appear
in the diff).

Consult these filters during pathspec-limited traversals in the function
`rev_same_tree_as_empty()`. Doing so yields a performance improvement
where we can avoid enumerating the full set of paths in a parentless
commit's root tree when we know that the path(s) of interest were not
listed in that commit's changed-path Bloom filter.

t/t4216-log-bloom.sh: harden `test_bloom_filters_not_used()`

The existing implementation of test_bloom_filters_not_used() asserts
that the Bloom filter sub-system has not been initialized at all, by
checking for the absence of any data from it from trace2.

In the following commit, it will become possible to load Bloom filters
without using them (e.g., because the `commitGraph.changedPathVersion`
introduced later in this series is incompatible with the hash version
with which the commit-graph's Bloom filters were written).

When this is the case, it's possible to initialize the Bloom filter
sub-system, while still not using any Bloom filters. When this is the
case, check that the data dump from the Bloom sub-system is all zeros,
indicating that no filters were used.

between adjacent entries using awk. This works but has a few readability
problems:

  1. Reading the index in pack order means don't find out the size of an
     oid's entry until we see the _next_ entry. So we have to save it to
     print later.

     We can instead iterate in reverse order, so we compute each oid's
     size as we see it.

  2. Since the awk invocation is inside a text_expect block, we can't
     easily use single-quotes to hold the script. So we use
     double-quotes, but then have to escape the dollar signs in the awk
     script.

this feature to filter by file types. For example a pathspec such as
':(attr:builtin_objectmode=160000)' could filter for submodules without
needing to have `builtin_objectmode=160000` to be set in .gitattributes
for every submodule path.

These values are also reflected in `git check-attr` results.
If the git_attr_direction is set to GIT_ATTR_INDEX or GIT_ATTR_CHECKIN
and a path is not found in the index, the value will be unspecified.

This patch also reserves the builtin_* attribute namespace for objectmode
and any future builtin attributes. Any user defined attributes using this
reserved namespace will result in a warning. This is a breaking change for
any existing builtin_* attributes.
Pathspecs with some builtin_* attribute name (excluding builtin_objectmode)
will behave like any attribute where there are no user specified values.

17 months agomem-pool: fix big allocations
René Scharfe [Thu, 28 Dec 2023 19:19:06 +0000 (20:19 +0100)] 
mem-pool: fix big allocations

Memory pool allocations that require a new block and would fill at
least half of it are handled specially.  Before 158dfeff3d (mem-pool:
add life cycle management functions, 2018-07-02) they used to be
allocated outside of the pool.  This patch made mem_pool_alloc() create
a bespoke block instead, to allow releasing it when the pool gets
discarded.

Unfortunately mem_pool_alloc() returns a pointer to the start of such a
bespoke block, i.e. to the struct mp_block at its top.  When the caller
writes to it, the management information gets corrupted.  This affects
mem_pool_discard() and -- if there are no other blocks in the pool --
also mem_pool_alloc().

Return the payload pointer of bespoke blocks, just like for smaller
allocations, to protect the management struct.

Also update next_free to mark the block as full.  This is only strictly
necessary for the first allocated block, because subsequent ones are
inserted after the current block and never considered for further
allocations, but it's easier to just do it in all cases.

Add a basic unit test to demonstrate the issue by using
mem_pool_calloc() with a tiny block size, which forces the creation of a
bespoke block.

18 months agosparse-checkout: be consistent with end of options markers

sparse-checkout: be consistent with end of options markers

93851746 (parse-options: decouple "--end-of-options" and "--",
2023-12-06) updated the world order to make callers of parse-options
that set PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT responsible for deciding what to
do with "--end-of-options" they may see after parse_options() returns.

This made a previous bug in sparse-checkout more visible; namely,
that

  git sparse-checkout [add|set] --[no-]cone --end-of-options ...

would simply treat "--end-of-options" as one of the paths to include in
the sparse-checkout.  But this was already problematic before; namely,

  git sparse-checkout [add|set| --[no-]cone --sikp-checks ...

would not give an error on the mis-typed "--skip-checks" but instead
simply treat "--sikp-checks" as a path or pattern to include in the
sparse-checkout, which is highly unfriendly.

This behavior began when the command was converted to parse-options in
7bffca95ea (sparse-checkout: add '--stdin' option to set subcommand,
2019-11-21).  Back then it was just called KEEP_UNKNOWN. Later it was
renamed to KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT in 99d86d60e5 (parse-options:
PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN only applies to --options, 2022-08-19) to clarify
that it was only about dashed options; we always keep non-option
arguments.  Looking at that original patch, both Peff and I think that
the author was simply confused about the mis-named option, and really
just wanted to keep the non-option arguments.  We never should have used
the flag all along (and the other cases were cargo-culted within the
file).

Remove the erroneous PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT flag now to fix this
bug.  Note that this does mean that anyone who might have been using

  git sparse-checkout [add|set] [--[no-]cone] --foo --bar

to request paths or patterns '--foo' and '--bar' will now have to use

  git sparse-checkout [add|set] [--[no-]cone] -- --foo --bar

That makes sparse-checkout more consistent with other git commands,
provides users much friendlier error messages and behavior, and is
consistent with the all-caps warning in git-sparse-checkout.txt that
this command "is experimental...its behavior...will likely change".  :-)

so, we need some of the lower level direct includes that files rely on

But we can use a little shell hackery to get the expected numbers
ourselves. To a certain degree this is just re-implementing what Git is
doing under the hood, but it is still worth doing. It makes sure we
exercise the %(objectsize:disk) code at all, and having the two
implementations agree gives us more confidence.

Note that our shell code assumes that no object appears twice (either in
two packs, or as both loose and packed), as then the results really are
undefined. That's OK for our purposes, and the test will notice if that

that Git's output does not have).

start and end positions of the trailer block).

reference the input string in format_trailer_info(), so update that
function to take a pointer to the input.

While we're at it, rename trailer_start to trailer_block_start to be
more explicit about these offsets (that they are for the entire trailer
block including other trailers). Ditto for trailer_end.

trailer: find the end of the log message

Previously, trailer_info_get() computed the trailer block end position
by

(1) checking for the opts->no_divider flag and optionally calling
    find_patch_start() to find the "patch start" location (patch_start), and
(2) calling find_trailer_end() to find the end of the trailer block
    using patch_start as a guide, saving the return value into
    "trailer_end".

The logic in (1) was awkward because the variable "patch_start" is
misleading if there is no patch in the input. The logic in (2) was
misleading because it could be the case that no trailers are in the
input (yet we are setting a "trailer_end" variable before even searching
for trailers, which happens later in find_trailer_start()). The name
"find_trailer_end" was misleading because that function did not look for
any trailer block itself --- instead it just computed the end position
of the log message in the input where the end of the trailer block (if
it exists) would be (because trailer blocks must always come after the
end of the log message).

Combine the logic in (1) and (2) together into find_patch_start() by
renaming it to find_end_of_log_message(). The end of the log message is
the starting point which find_trailer_start() needs to start searching
backward to parse individual trailers (if any).

'__git_pseudoref_exists' function that continues to use 'test -f' to
determine whether a given pseudoref exists in the local filesystem.

remote.h: retire CAS_OPT_NAME

When the "--force-with-lease" option was introduced in 28f5d176
(remote.c: add command line option parser for "--force-with-lease",
2013-07-08), the design discussion revolved around the concept of
"compare-and-swap", and it can still be seen in the name used for
variables and helper functions.  The end-user facing option name
ended up to be a bit different, so during the development iteration
of the feature, we used this C preprocessor macro to make it easier
to rename it later.

All of that happened more than 10 years ago, and the flexibility
afforded by the CAS_OPT_NAME macro outlived its usefulness.  Inline
the constant string for the option name, like all other option names
in the code.
