Edward Thomson 404dd024 2020-12-05T15:57:48 threads: rename thread files to thread.[ch]
Edward Thomson 37763d38 2020-12-05T15:26:59 threads: rename git_atomic to git_atomic32 Clarify the `git_atomic` type and functions now that we have a 64 bit version as well (`git_atomic64`).
lhchavez cc1d7f5c 2020-08-01T17:47:20 Improve the support of atomics This change: * Starts using GCC's and clang's `__atomic_*` intrinsics instead of the `__sync_*` ones, since the former supercede the latter (and can be safely replaced by their equivalent `__atomic_*` version with the sequentially consistent model). * Makes `git_atomic64`'s value `volatile`. Otherwise, this will make ThreadSanitizer complain. * Adds ways to load the values from atomics. As it turns out, unsynchronized read are okay only in some architectures, but if we want to be correct (and make ThreadSanitizer happy), those loads should also be performed with the atomic builtins. * Fixes two ThreadSanitizer warnings, as a proof-of-concept that this works: - Avoid directly accessing `git_refcount`'s `owner` directly, and instead makes all callers go through the `GIT_REFCOUNT_*()` macros, which also use the atomic utilities. - Makes `pool_system_page_size()` race-free. Part of: #5592
Patrick Steinhardt 7c499b54 2020-06-08T12:39:09 tree-wide: remove unused functions We have some functions which aren't used anywhere. Let's remove them to get rid of unneeded baggage.
Patrick Steinhardt 7d1b1774 2020-02-07T12:50:39 cache: fix invalid memory access in case updating cache entry fails When adding a new entry to our cache where an entry with the same OID exists already, then we only update the existing entry in case it is unparsed and the new entry is parsed. Currently, we do not check the return value of `git_oidmap_set` though when updating the existing entry. As a result, we will _not_ have updated the existing entry if `git_oidmap_set` fails, but have decremented its refcount and incremented the new entry's refcount. Later on, this may likely lead to dereferencing invalid memory. Fix the issue by checking the return value of `git_oidmap_set`. In case it fails, we will simply keep the existing stored instead, even though it's unparsed.
brian m. carlson 770b91b1 2019-07-17T15:59:54 cache: evict items more efficiently When our object cache is full, we pick eight items (or the whole cache, if there are fewer) and evict them. For small cache sizes, this is fine, but when we're dealing with a large number of objects, we can repeatedly exhaust the cache and spend a large amount of time in git_oidmap_iterate trying to find items to evict. Instead, let's assume that if the cache gets full, we have a large number of objects that we're handling, and be more aggressive about evicting items. Let's remove one item for every 2048 items, but not less than 8. This causes us to scale our evictions in proportion to the size of the cache and significantly reduces the time we spend in git_oidmap_iterate. Before this change, a full pack of all the non-blob objects in the Linux repository took in excess of 30 minutes and spent 62.3% of total runtime in odb_read_1 and its children, and 44.3% of the time in git_oidmap_iterate. With this change, the same operation now takes 14 minutes and 44 seconds, and odb_read_1 accounts for only 35.9% of total time, whereas git_oidmap_iterate consists of 6.2%. Note that we do spend a little more time inflating objects and a decent amount more time in memcmp. However, overall, the time taken is significantly improved, and time in pack building is now dominated by git_delta_create_from_index (33.7%), which is what we would expect.
Patrick Steinhardt add17435 2019-05-24T15:24:26 cache: fix cache eviction using deallocated key When evicting cache entries, we first retrieve the object that is to be evicted, delete the object and then finally delete the key from the cache. In case where the cache eviction caused us to free the cached object, though, its key will point to invalid memory now when trying to remove it from the cache map. On my system, this causes us to not properly remove the key from the map, as its memory has been overwritten already and thus the key lookup it will fail and we cannot delete it. Fix this by only decrementing the refcount of the evictee after we have removed it from our cache map. Add a test that caused a segfault previous to that change.

Patrick Steinhardt bbdcd450 2019-02-20T10:40:06 cache: fix misnaming of `git_cache_free` Functions that free a structure's contents but not the structure itself shall be named `dispose` in the libgit2 project, but the function `git_cache_free` does not follow this naming pattern. Fix this by renaming it to `git_cache_dispose` and adjusting all callers to make use of the new name.
Patrick Steinhardt 6a9117f5 2018-12-01T10:18:42 cache: use iteration interface for cache eviction To relieve us from memory pressure, we may regularly call `cache_evict_entries` to remove some entries from it. Unfortunately, our cache does not support a least-recently-used mode or something similar, which is why we evict entries completeley at random right now. Thing is, this is only possible due to the map interfaces exposing the entry indices, and we intend to completely remove those to decouple map users from map implementations. As soon as that is done, we are unable to do this random eviction anymore. Convert this to make use of an iterator for now. Obviously, there is no random eviction possible like that anymore, but we'll always start by evicting from the beginning of the map. Due to hashing, one may hope that the selected buckets will be evicted at least in some way unpredictably. But more likely than not, this will not be the case. But let's see what happens and if any users complain about degraded performance. If so, we might come up with a different scheme than random removal, e.g. by using an LRU cache.
Patrick Steinhardt 2e0a3048 2019-01-23T10:48:55 oidmap: introduce high-level setter for key/value pairs Currently, one would use either `git_oidmap_insert` to insert key/value pairs into a map or `git_oidmap_put` to insert a key only. These function have historically been macros, which is why their syntax is kind of weird: instead of returning an error code directly, they instead have to be passed a pointer to where the return value shall be stored. This does not match libgit2's common idiom of directly returning error codes.Furthermore, `git_oidmap_put` is tightly coupled with implementation details of the map as it exposes the index of inserted entries. Introduce a new function `git_oidmap_set`, which takes as parameters the map, key and value and directly returns an error code. Convert all trivial callers of `git_oidmap_insert` and `git_oidmap_put` to make use of it.
Patrick Steinhardt 9694ef20 2018-12-17T09:01:53 oidmap: introduce high-level getter for values The current way of looking up an entry from a map is tightly coupled with the map implementation, as one first has to look up the index of the key and then retrieve the associated value by using the index. As a caller, you usually do not care about any indices at all, though, so this is more complicated than really necessary. Furthermore, it invites for errors to happen if the correct error checking sequence is not being followed. Introduce a new high-level function `git_oidmap_get` that takes a map and a key and returns a pointer to the associated value if such a key exists. Otherwise, a `NULL` pointer is returned. Adjust all callers that can trivially be converted.
Patrick Steinhardt 351eeff3 2019-01-23T10:42:46 maps: use uniform lifecycle management functions Currently, the lifecycle functions for maps (allocation, deallocation, resize) are not named in a uniform way and do not have a uniform function signature. Rename the functions to fix that, and stick to libgit2's naming scheme of saying `git_foo_new`. This results in the following new interface for allocation: - `int git_<t>map_new(git_<t>map **out)` to allocate a new map, returning an error code if we ran out of memory - `void git_<t>map_free(git_<t>map *map)` to free a map - `void git_<t>map_clear(git<t>map *map)` to remove all entries from a map This commit also fixes all existing callers.
Edward Thomson f673e232 2018-12-27T13:47:34 git_error: use new names in internal APIs and usage Move to the `git_error` name in the internal API for error-related functions.
Edward Thomson 168fe39b 2018-11-28T14:26:57 object_type: use new enumeration names Use the new object_type enumeration names within the codebase.
Patrick Steinhardt 852bc9f4 2018-11-23T19:26:24 khash: remove intricate knowledge of khash types Instead of using the `khiter_t`, `git_strmap_iter` and `khint_t` types, simply use `size_t` instead. This decouples code from the khash stuff and makes it possible to move the khash includes into the implementation files.
Patrick Steinhardt 0c7f49dd 2017-06-30T13:39:01 Make sure to always include "common.h" first Next to including several files, our "common.h" header also declares various macros which are then used throughout the project. As such, we have to make sure to always include this file first in all implementation files. Otherwise, we might encounter problems or even silent behavioural differences due to macros or defines not being defined as they should be. So in fact, our header and implementation files should make sure to always include "common.h" first. This commit does so by establishing a common include pattern. Header files inside of "src" will now always include "common.h" as its first other file, separated by a newline from all the other includes to make it stand out as special. There are two cases for the implementation files. If they do have a matching header file, they will always include this one first, leading to "common.h" being transitively included as first file. If they do not have a matching header file, they instead include "common.h" as first file themselves. This fixes the outlined problems and will become our standard practice for header and source files inside of the "src/" from now on.

Matthew Plough 768f8be3 2015-06-30T19:00:41 Fix #3094 - improve use of portable size_t/ssize_t format specifiers. The header src/cc-compat.h defines portable format specifiers PRIuZ, PRIdZ, and PRIxZ. The original report highlighted the need to use these specifiers in examples/network/fetch.c. For this commit, I checked all C source and header files not in deps/ and transitioned to the appropriate format specifier where appropriate.

Russell Belfer 3e9e6cda 2013-06-07T09:54:33 Add safe memset and use it This adds a `git__memset` routine that will not be optimized away and updates the places where I memset() right before a free() call to use it.
Russell Belfer 1a42dd17 2013-05-31T14:13:11 Mutex init can fail It is obviously quite a serious problem if this happens, but mutex initialization can fail and we should detect it. It's a bit like a memory allocation failure, in that you're probably pretty screwed if this occurs, but at least we'll catch it.
Russell Belfer f658dc43 2013-05-31T14:09:58 Zero memory for major objects before freeing By zeroing out the memory when we free larger objects (i.e. those that serve as collections of other data, such as repos, odb, refdb), I'm hoping that it will be easier for libgit2 bindings to find errors in their object management code.
Russell Belfer 2e62e7c2 2013-05-24T10:33:41 Docs for git_libgit2_opts and cache disable tweak This adds docs for the cache control options to git_libgit2_opts and also tweaks the cache code so that if the cache is disabled, then the next time we attempt to insert something into the cache in question, we will actually clear any old cached objects.

Vicent Marti d8771592 2013-04-22T17:04:52 cache: Max cache size, and evict when the cache fills up
Russell Belfer 78606263 2013-04-15T00:05:44 Add callback to git_objects_table This adds create and free callback to the git_objects_table so that more of the creation and destruction of objects can be table driven instead of using switch statements. This also makes the semantics of certain object creation functions consistent so that we can make better use of function pointers. This also fixes a theoretical error case where an object allocation fails and we end up storing NULL into the cache.
Russell Belfer b12b72ea 2013-04-12T12:44:51 Add range checking around cache opts Add a git_cache_set_max_object_size method that does more checking around setting the max object size. Also add a git_cache_size to read the number of objects currently in the cache. This makes it easier to write tests.

Michael Schubert 6ee68611 2012-09-10T21:29:07 cache: fix race condition Example: a cached node is owned only by the cache (refcount == 1). Thread A holds the lock and determines that the entry which should get cached equals the node (git_oid_cmp(&node->oid, &entry->oid) == 0). It frees the given entry to instead return the cached node to the user (entry = node). Now, before Thread A happens to increment the refcount of the node *outside* the cache lock, Thread B tries to store another entry and hits the slot of the node before, decrements its refcount and frees it *before* Thread A gets a chance to increment for the user. git_cached_obj_incref(entry); git_mutex_lock(&cache->lock); { git_cached_obj *node = cache->nodes[hash & cache->size_mask]; if (node == NULL) { cache->nodes[hash & cache->size_mask] = entry; } else if (git_oid_cmp(&node->oid, &entry->oid) == 0) { git_cached_obj_decref(entry, cache->free_obj); entry = node; } else { git_cached_obj_decref(node, cache->free_obj); // Thread B is here cache->nodes[hash & cache->size_mask] = entry; } } git_mutex_unlock(&cache->lock); // Thread A is here /* increase the refcount again, because we are * returning it to the user */ git_cached_obj_incref(entry);

Vicent Marti 72a3fe42 2011-03-18T19:38:49 I broke your bindings Hey. Apologies in advance -- I broke your bindings. This is a major commit that includes a long-overdue redesign of the whole object-database structure. This is expected to be the last major external API redesign of the library until the first non-alpha release. Please get your bindings up to date with these changes. They will be included in the next minor release. Sorry again! Major features include: - Real caching and refcounting on parsed objects - Real caching and refcounting on objects read from the ODB - Streaming writes & reads from the ODB - Single-method writes for all object types - The external API is now partially thread-safe The speed increases are significant in all aspects, specially when reading an object several times from the ODB (revwalking) and when writing big objects to the ODB. Here's a full changelog for the external API: blob.h ------ - Remove `git_blob_new` - Remove `git_blob_set_rawcontent` - Remove `git_blob_set_rawcontent_fromfile` - Rename `git_blob_writefile` -> `git_blob_create_fromfile` - Change `git_blob_create_fromfile`: The `path` argument is now relative to the repository's working dir - Add `git_blob_create_frombuffer` commit.h -------- - Remove `git_commit_new` - Remove `git_commit_add_parent` - Remove `git_commit_set_message` - Remove `git_commit_set_committer` - Remove `git_commit_set_author` - Remove `git_commit_set_tree` - Add `git_commit_create` - Add `git_commit_create_v` - Add `git_commit_create_o` - Add `git_commit_create_ov` tag.h ----- - Remove `git_tag_new` - Remove `git_tag_set_target` - Remove `git_tag_set_name` - Remove `git_tag_set_tagger` - Remove `git_tag_set_message` - Add `git_tag_create` - Add `git_tag_create_o` tree.h ------ - Change `git_tree_entry_2object`: New signature is `(git_object **object_out, git_repository *repo, git_tree_entry *entry)` - Remove `git_tree_new` - Remove `git_tree_add_entry` - Remove `git_tree_remove_entry_byindex` - Remove `git_tree_remove_entry_byname` - Remove `git_tree_clearentries` - Remove `git_tree_entry_set_id` - Remove `git_tree_entry_set_name` - Remove `git_tree_entry_set_attributes` object.h ------------ - Remove `git_object_new - Remove `git_object_write` - Change `git_object_close`: This method is now *mandatory*. Not closing an object causes a memory leak. odb.h ----- - Remove type `git_rawobj` - Remove `git_rawobj_close` - Rename `git_rawobj_hash` -> `git_odb_hash` - Change `git_odb_hash`: New signature is `(git_oid *id, const void *data, size_t len, git_otype type)` - Add type `git_odb_object` - Add `git_odb_object_close` - Change `git_odb_read`: New signature is `(git_odb_object **out, git_odb *db, const git_oid *id)` - Change `git_odb_read_header`: New signature is `(size_t *len_p, git_otype *type_p, git_odb *db, const git_oid *id)` - Remove `git_odb_write` - Add `git_odb_open_wstream` - Add `git_odb_open_rstream` odb_backend.h ------------- - Change type `git_odb_backend`: New internal signatures are as follows int (* read)(void **, size_t *, git_otype *, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *) int (* read_header)(size_t *, git_otype *, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *) int (* writestream)(struct git_odb_stream **, struct git_odb_backend *, size_t, git_otype) int (* readstream)( struct git_odb_stream **, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *) - Add type `git_odb_stream` - Add enum `git_odb_streammode` Signed-off-by: Vicent Marti <tanoku@gmail.com>
