When the pack code was split into its own file[1], it got a copy of the
static read_object() function. But there's only one caller here, so we
could just inline it. And it's worth doing so, as the name read_object()
invites comparisons to the public read_object_file(), but the two don't
behave quite the same.
[1] The move happened over several commits, but the relevant one here is
f1d8130be0 (pack: move clear_delta_base_cache(), packed_object_info(),
unpack_entry(), 2017-08-18).

As reported in [1] the "UNUSED(var)" macro introduced in

2022-08-24) breaks coccinelle's parsing of our sources in files where
it occurs.
Let's instead partially go with the approach suggested in [2] of
making this not take an argument. As noted in [1] "coccinelle" will
ignore such tokens in argument lists that it doesn't know about, and
it's less of a surprise to syntax highlighters.
This undoes the "help us notice when a parameter marked as unused is
actually use" part of 9b24034754 (git-compat-util: add UNUSED macro,
2022-08-19), a subsequent commit will further tweak the macro to

"git fsck" reads mode from tree objects but canonicalizes the mode
before passing it to the logic to check object sanity, which has
hid broken tree objects from the checking logic. This has been
corrected, but to help exiting projects with broken tree objects
that they cannot fix retroactively, the severity of anomalies this
code detects has been demoted to "info" for now.
* jk/fsck-tree-mode-bits-fix:
fsck: downgrade tree badFilemode to "info"
fsck: actually detect bad file modes in trees
tree-walk: add a mechanism for getting non-canonicalized modes
Since commit fcc07e980b (is_promisor_object(): free tree buffer after
parsing, 2021-04-13), we'll always free the buffers attached to a
"struct tree" after searching them for promisor links. But there's an
important case where we don't want to do so: if somebody else is already
using the tree!
This can happen during a "rev-list --missing=allow-promisor" traversal
in a partial clone that is missing one or more trees or blobs. The
backtrace for the free looks like this:
#1 free_tree_buffer tree.c:147
#2 add_promisor_object packfile.c:2250
#3 for_each_object_in_pack packfile.c:2190
#4 for_each_packed_object packfile.c:2215
#5 is_promisor_object packfile.c:2272
#6 finish_object__ma builtin/rev-list.c:245
#7 finish_object builtin/rev-list.c:261
#8 show_object builtin/rev-list.c:274
#9 process_blob list-objects.c:63
#10 process_tree_contents list-objects.c:145
#11 process_tree list-objects.c:201
#12 traverse_trees_and_blobs list-objects.c:344
[...]
We're in the middle of walking through the entries of a tree object via
process_tree_contents(). We see a blob (or it could even be another tree
entry) that we don't have, so we call is_promisor_object() to check it.
That function loops over all of the objects in the promisor packfile,
including the tree we're currently walking. When we're done with it
there, we free the tree buffer. But as we return to the walk in
process_tree_contents(), it's still holding on to a pointer to that
buffer, via its tree_desc iterator, and it accesses the freed memory.
Even a trivial use of "--missing=allow-promisor" triggers this problem,
as the included test demonstrates (it's just a vanilla --blob:none
clone).
We can detect this case by only freeing the tree buffer if it was
allocated on our behalf. This is a little tricky since that happens
inside parse_object(), and it doesn't tell us whether the object was
already parsed, or whether it allocated the buffer itself. But by
checking for an already-parsed tree beforehand, we can distinguish the
two cases.
That feels a little hacky, and does incur an extra lookup in the
object-hash table. But that cost is fairly minimal compared to actually
loading objects (and since we're iterating the whole pack here, we're
likely to be loading most objects, rather than reusing cached results).
It may also be a good direction for this function in general, as there
are other possible optimizations that rely on doing some analysis before
parsing:
- we could detect blobs and avoid reading their contents; they can't
link to other objects, but parse_object() doesn't know that we don't
care about checking their hashes.
- we could avoid allocating object structs entirely for most objects
(since we really only need them in the oidset), which would save
some memory.
- promisor commits could use the commit-graph rather than loading the
object from disk
This commit doesn't do any of those optimizations, but I think it argues
that this direction is reasonable, rather than relying on parse_object()
and trying to teach it to give us more information about whether it
parsed.
The included test fails reliably under SANITIZE=address just when
running "rev-list --missing=allow-promisor". Checking the output isn't
strictly necessary to detect the bug, but it seems like a reasonable
addition given the general lack of coverage for "allow-promisor" in the
test suite.

When using init_tree_desc() and tree_entry() to iterate over a tree, we
always canonicalize the modes coming out of the tree. This is a good
thing to prevent bugs or oddities in normal code paths, but it's
counter-productive for tools like fsck that want to see the exact
contents.
We can address this by adding an option to avoid the extra
canonicalization. A few notes on the implementation:
- I've attached the new option to the tree_desc struct itself. The
actual code change is in decode_tree_entry(), which is in turn
called by the public update_tree_entry(), tree_entry(), and
init_tree_desc() functions, plus their "gently" counterparts.
By letting it ride along in the struct, we can avoid changing the
signature of those functions, which are called many times. Plus it's
conceptually simpler: you really want a particular iteration of a
tree to be "raw" or not, rather than individual calls.
- We still have to set the new option somewhere. The struct is
initialized by init_tree_desc(). I added the new flags field only to
the "gently" version. That avoids disturbing the much more numerous
non-gentle callers, and it makes sense that anybody being careful
about looking at raw modes would also be careful about bogus trees
(i.e., the caller will be something like fsck in the first place).

Collection of what is referenced by objects in promisor packs have
been optimized to inspect these objects in the in-pack order.
* jk/optim-promisor-object-enumeration:
is_promisor_object(): walk promisor packs in pack-order
When we generate the list of promisor objects, we walk every pack with a
.promisor file and examine its objects for any links to other objects.
By default, for_each_packed_object() will go in pack .idx order.
This is the worst case with respect to our delta base cache. If we have
a delta chain of A->B->C->D, then visiting A may require reconstructing
both B and C, unless we also visited B recently, in which case we may
have cached its value. Because .idx order is based on sha1, it's random
with respect to the actual object contents and deltas, and thus we're
unlikely to get many cache hits.
If we instead traverse in pack order, then we get the optimal case:
packs are written to keep delta families together, and to place bases
before their children.
Even on a modest repository like git.git, this has a noticeable speedup
on p5600.4, which runs "fsck" on a partial clone with blob:none (so lots
of trees which need to be walked, and which delta well):
Test HEAD^ HEAD
-------------------------------------------------------
5600.4: 17.87(17.83+0.04) 15.42(15.35+0.06) -13.7%
On a larger repository like linux.git, the speedup is even more
pronounced:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
-----------------------------------------------------------
5600.4: 322.47(322.01+0.42) 186.41(185.76+0.63) -42.2%
Any other operations that call is_promisor_object(), like "rev-list
--exclude-promisor-objects", would similarly benefit, but the
invocations in p5600 don't actually trigger any such cases.
Note that we may pay a small price to build a rev-index in-memory to do
the pack-order traversal. But it's still a big net win, and even that
small cost goes away if you are using pack.writeReverseIndex.

To get the list of all promisor objects, we not only include all objects
in promisor packs, but also parse each of those objects to see which
objects they reference. After parsing a tree object, the tree->buffer
field will remain populated until we explicitly free it. So in a partial
clone of blob:none, for example, we are essentially reading every tree
in the repository (since they're all in the initial promisor pack), and
keeping all of their uncompressed contents in memory at once.
This patch frees the tree buffers after we've finished marking all of
their reachable objects. We shouldn't need to do this for any other
object type. While we are using some extra memory to store the structs,
no other object type stores the whole contents in its parsed form (we do
sometimes hold on to commit buffers, but less so these days due to
commit graphs, plus most commands which care about promisor objects turn
off the save_commit_buffer global).
Even for a moderate-sized repository like git.git, this patch drops the
peak heap (as measured by massif) for git-fsck from ~1.7GB to ~138MB.
Fsck is a good candidate for measuring here because it doesn't interact
with the promisor code except to call is_promisor_object(), so we can
isolate just this problem.
The added perf test shows only a tiny improvement on my machine for
git.git, since 1.7GB isn't enough to cause any real memory pressure:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5600.4: fsck 21.26(20.90+0.35) 20.84(20.79+0.04) -2.0%
With linux.git the absolute change is a bit bigger, though still a small
percentage:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5600.4: fsck 262.26(259.13+3.12) 254.92(254.62+0.29) -2.8%
I didn't have the patience to run it under massif with linux.git, but
it's probably on the order of about 14GB improvement, since that's the
sum of the sizes of all of the uncompressed trees (but still isn't
enough to create memory pressure on this particular machine, which has
64GB of RAM). Smaller machines would probably see a bigger effect on
runtime (and sadly our perf suite does not measure peak heap).

Implement reading for multi-pack reverse indexes, as described in the
previous patch.
Note that these functions don't yet have any callers, and won't until
multi-pack reachability bitmaps are introduced in a later patch series.
In the meantime, this patch implements some of the infrastructure
necessary to support multi-pack bitmaps.
There are three new functions exposed by the revindex API:
- load_midx_revindex(): loads the reverse index corresponding to the
given multi-pack index.
- midx_to_pack_pos() and pack_pos_to_midx(): these convert between the
multi-pack index and pseudo-pack order.
load_midx_revindex() and pack_pos_to_midx() are both relatively
straightforward.
load_midx_revindex() needs a few functions to be exposed from the midx
API. One to get the checksum of a midx, and another to get the .rev's
filename. Similar to recent changes in the packed_git struct, three new
fields are added to the multi_pack_index struct: one to keep track of
the size, one to keep track of the mmap'd pointer, and another to point
past the header and at the reverse index's data.
pack_pos_to_midx() simply reads the corresponding entry out of the
table.
midx_to_pack_pos() is the trickiest, since it needs to find an object's
position in the psuedo-pack order, but that order can only be recovered
in the .rev file itself. This mapping can be implemented with a binary
search, but note that the thing we're binary searching over isn't an
array of values, but rather a permuted order of those values.
So, when comparing two items, it's helpful to keep in mind the
difference. Instead of a traditional binary search, where you are
comparing two things directly, here we're comparing a (pack, offset)
tuple with an index into the multi-pack index. That index describes
another (pack, offset) tuple, and it is _those_ two tuples that are
compared.

In a recent patch we added a function 'find_kept_pack_entry()' to look
for an object only among kept packs.
While this function avoids doing any lookup work in non-kept packs, it
is still linear in the number of packs, since we have to traverse the
linked list of packs once per object. Let's cache a reduced version of
that list to save us time.
Note that this cache will last the lifetime of the program. We could
invalidate it on reprepare_packed_git(), but there's not much point in
being rigorous here:
- we might already fail to notice new .keep packs showing up after the
program starts. We only reprepare_packed_git() when we fail to find
an object. But adding a new pack won't cause that to happen.
Somebody repacking could add a new pack and delete an old one, but
most of the time we'd have a descriptor or mmap open to the old
pack anyway, so we might not even notice.
- in pack-objects we already cache the .keep state at startup, since
56dfeb6263 (pack-objects: compute local/ignore_pack_keep early,
2016-07-29). So this is just extending that concept further.
- we don't have to worry about any packed_git being removed; we always
keep the old structs around, even after reprepare_packed_git()
We do defensively invalidate the cache in case the set of kept packs
being asked for changes (e.g., only in-core kept packs were cached, but
suddenly the caller also wants on-disk kept packs, too). In theory we
could build all three caches and switch between them, but it's not
necessary, since this patch (and series) never changes the set of kept
packs that it wants to inspect from the cache.
So that "optimization" is more about being defensive in the face of
future changes than it is about asking for multiple kinds of kept packs
in this patch.
Here are p5303 results (as always, measured against the kernel):

Future callers will want a function to fill a 'struct pack_entry' for a
given object id but _only_ from its position in any kept pack(s).
In particular, an new 'git repack' mode which ensures the resulting
packs form a geometric progress by object count will mark packs that it
does not want to repack as "kept in-core", and it will want to halt a
reachability traversal as soon as it visits an object in any of the kept
packs. But, it does not want to halt the traversal at non-kept, or
.keep packs.
The obvious alternative is 'find_pack_entry()', but this doesn't quite
suffice since it only returns the first pack it finds, which may or may
not be kept (and the mru cache makes it unpredictable which one you'll
get if there are options).
Short of that, you could walk over all packs looking for the object in
each one, but it scales with the number of packs, which may be
prohibitive.
Introduce 'find_kept_pack_entry()', a function which is like
'find_pack_entry()', but only fills in objects in the kept packs.
Handle packs which have .keep files, as well as in-core kept packs
separately, since certain callers will want to distinguish one from the
other. (Though on-disk and in-core kept packs share the adjective
"kept", it is best to think of the two sets as independent.)
There is a gotcha when looking up objects that are duplicated in kept
and non-kept packs, particularly when the MIDX stores the non-kept
version and the caller asked for kept objects only. This could be
resolved by teaching the MIDX to resolve duplicates by always favoring
the kept pack (if one exists), but this breaks an assumption in existing
MIDXs, and so it would require a format change.
The benefit to changing the MIDX in this way is marginal, so we instead
have a more thorough check here which is explained with a comment.
Callers will be added in subsequent patches.

Specify the format of the on-disk reverse index 'pack-*.rev' file, as
well as prepare the code for the existence of such files.
The reverse index maps from pack relative positions (i.e., an index into
the array of object which is sorted by their offsets within the
packfile) to their position within the 'pack-*.idx' file. Today, this is
done by building up a list of (off_t, uint32_t) tuples for each object
(the off_t corresponding to that object's offset, and the uint32_t
corresponding to its position in the index). To convert between pack and
index position quickly, this array of tuples is radix sorted based on
its offset.
This has two major drawbacks:
First, the in-memory cost scales linearly with the number of objects in
a pack. Each 'struct revindex_entry' is sizeof(off_t) +
sizeof(uint32_t) + padding bytes for a total of 16.
To observe this, force Git to load the reverse index by, for e.g.,
running 'git cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)"'. When asking
for a single object in a fresh clone of the kernel, Git needs to
allocate 120+ MB of memory in order to hold the reverse index in memory.
Second, the cost to sort also scales with the size of the pack.
Luckily, this is a linear function since 'load_pack_revindex()' uses a
radix sort, but this cost still must be paid once per pack per process.
As an example, it takes ~60x longer to print the _size_ of an object as
it does to print that entire object's _contents_:
Benchmark #1: git.compile cat-file --batch <obj
Time (mean ± σ): 3.4 ms ± 0.1 ms [User: 3.3 ms, System: 2.1 ms]
Range (min … max): 3.2 ms … 3.7 ms 726 runs
Benchmark #2: git.compile cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" <obj
Time (mean ± σ): 210.3 ms ± 8.9 ms [User: 188.2 ms, System: 23.2 ms]
Range (min … max): 193.7 ms … 224.4 ms 13 runs
Instead, avoid computing and sorting the revindex once per process by
writing it to a file when the pack itself is generated.
The format is relatively straightforward. It contains an array of
uint32_t's, the length of which is equal to the number of objects in the
pack. The ith entry in this table contains the index position of the
ith object in the pack, where "ith object in the pack" is determined by
pack offset.
One thing that the on-disk format does _not_ contain is the full (up to)
eight-byte offset corresponding to each object. This is something that
the in-memory revindex contains (it stores an off_t in 'struct
revindex_entry' along with the same uint32_t that the on-disk format
has). Omit it in the on-disk format, since knowing the index position
for some object is sufficient to get a constant-time lookup in the
pack-*.idx file to ask for an object's offset within the pack.
This trades off between the on-disk size of the 'pack-*.rev' file for
runtime to chase down the offset for some object. Even though the lookup
is constant time, the constant is heavier, since it can potentially
involve two pointer walks in v2 indexes (one to access the 4-byte offset
table, and potentially a second to access the double wide offset table).
Consider trying to map an object's pack offset to a relative position
within that pack. In a cold-cache scenario, more page faults occur while
switching between binary searching through the reverse index and
searching through the *.idx file for an object's offset. Sure enough,
with a cold cache (writing '3' into '/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches' after
'sync'ing), printing out the entire object's contents is still
marginally faster than printing its size:
Benchmark #1: git.compile cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" <obj >/dev/null
Time (mean ± σ): 22.6 ms ± 0.5 ms [User: 2.4 ms, System: 7.9 ms]
Range (min … max): 21.4 ms … 23.5 ms 41 runs
Benchmark #2: git.compile cat-file --batch <obj >/dev/null
Time (mean ± σ): 17.2 ms ± 0.7 ms [User: 2.8 ms, System: 5.5 ms]
Range (min … max): 15.6 ms … 18.2 ms 45 runs
(Numbers taken in the kernel after cheating and using the next patch to
generate a reverse index). There are a couple of approaches to improve
cold cache performance not pursued here:
- We could include the object offsets in the reverse index format.
Predictably, this does result in fewer page faults, but it triples
the size of the file, while simultaneously duplicating a ton of data
already available in the .idx file. (This was the original way I
implemented the format, and it did show
`--batch-check='%(objectsize:disk)'` winning out against `--batch`.)
On the other hand, this increase in size also results in a large
block-cache footprint, which could potentially hurt other workloads.
- We could store the mapping from pack to index position in more
cache-friendly way, like constructing a binary search tree from the
table and writing the values in breadth-first order. This would
result in much better locality, but the price you pay is trading
O(1) lookup in 'pack_pos_to_index()' for an O(log n) one (since you
can no longer directly index the table).
So, neither of these approaches are taken here. (Thankfully, the format
is versioned, so we are free to pursue these in the future.) But, cold
cache performance likely isn't interesting outside of one-off cases like
asking for the size of an object directly. In real-world usage, Git is
often performing many operations in the revindex (i.e., asking about
many objects rather than a single one).
The trade-off is worth it, since we will avoid the vast majority of the
cost of generating the revindex that the extra pointer chase will look
like noise in the following patch's benchmarks.
This patch describes the format and prepares callers (like in
pack-revindex.c) to be able to read *.rev files once they exist. An
implementation of the writer will appear in the next patch, and callers
will gradually begin to start using the writer in the patches that
follow after that.

Let's clarify this by using an unambiguous name where possible, and
leaving a comment for the variable that does double-duty.

Remove direct manipulation of the 'struct revindex_entry' type as well
as calls to the deprecated API in 'packfile.c:unpack_entry()'. Usual
clean-up is performed (replacing '->nr' with calls to
'pack_pos_to_index()' and so on).
Add an additional check to make sure that 'obj_offset()' points at a
valid object. In the case this check is violated, we cannot call
'mark_bad_packed_object()' because we don't know the OID. At the top of
the call stack is do_oid_object_info_extended() (via
packed_object_info()), which does mark the object.

Convert another call of 'find_pack_revindex()' to its replacement
'pack_pos_to_offset()'. Likewise:
- Avoid manipulating `struct packed_git`'s `revindex` pointer directly
by removing the pointer-as-array indexing.
- Add an additional guard to check that the offset 'obj_offset()'
points to a real object. This should be the case with well-behaved
callers to 'packed_object_info()', but isn't guarenteed.
Other blocks that fill in various other values from the 'struct
object_info' request handle bad inputs by setting the type to
'OBJ_BAD' and jumping to 'out'. Do the same when given a bad offset
here.
The previous code would have segfaulted when given a bad
'obj_offset' value, since 'find_pack_revindex()' would return
'NULL', and then the line that fills 'oi->disk_sizep' would try to
access 'NULL[1]' with a stride of 16 bytes (the width of 'struct
revindex_entry)'.
