Add specialized object allocator This creates a simple specialized object allocator for basic objects. This avoids wasting space with malloc overhead (metadata and extra alignment), since the specialized allocator knows the alignment, and that objects, once allocated, are never freed. It also allows us to track some basic statistics about object allocations. For example, for the mozilla import, it shows object usage as follows: blobs: 627629 (14710 kB) trees: 1119035 (34969 kB) commits: 196423 (8440 kB) tags: 1336 (46 kB) and the simpler allocator shaves off about 2.5% off the memory footprint off a "git-rev-list --all --objects", and is a bit faster too. [ Side note: this concludes the series of "save memory in object storage". The thing is, there simply isn't much more to be saved on the objects. Doing "git-rev-list --all --objects" on the mozilla archive has a final total RSS of 131498 pages for me: that's about 513MB. Of that, the object overhead is now just 56MB, the rest is going somewhere else (put another way: the fact that this patch shaves off 2.5% of the total memory overhead, considering that objects are now not much more than 10% of the total shows how big the wasted space really was: this makes object allocations much more memory- and time-efficient). I haven't looked at where the rest is, but I suspect the bulk of it is just the pack-file loading. It may be that we should pack the tree objects separately from the blob objects: for git-rev-list --objects, we don't actually ever need to even look at the blobs, but since trees and blobs are interspersed in the pack-file, we end up not being dense in the tree accesses, so we end up looking at more pages than we strictly need to. So with a 535MB pack-file, it's entirely possible - even likely - that most of the remaining RSS is just the mmap of the pack-file itself. We don't need to map in _all_ of it, but we do end up mapping a fair amount. ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Use proper object allocators for unknown object nodes too We used to use a different allocator scheme for when we didn't know the object type. That meant that objects that were created without any up-front knowledge of the type would not go through the same allocation paths as normal object allocations, and would miss out on the statistics. But perhaps more importantly than the statistics (that are useful when looking at memory usage but not much else), if we want to make the object hash tables use a denser object pointer representation, we need to make sure that they all go through the same blocking allocator.

alloc.c: remove the alloc_raw_commit_node() function In order to encapsulate the setting of the unique commit index, commit 969eba63 ("commit: push commit_index update into alloc_commit_node", 10-06-2014) introduced a (logically private) intermediary allocator function. However, this function (alloc_raw_commit_node()) was declared as a public function, which undermines its entire purpose. Introduce an inline function, alloc_node(), which implements the main logic of the allocator used by DEFINE_ALLOCATOR, and redefine the macro in terms of the new function. In addition, use the new function in the implementation of the alloc_commit_node() allocator, rather than the intermediary allocator, which can now be removed. Noticed by sparse ("symbol 'alloc_raw_commit_node' was not declared. Should it be static?").

alloc: write out allocator definitions Because the allocator functions for tree, blobs, etc are all very similar, we originally used a macro to avoid repeating ourselves. Since the prior commit, though, the heavy lifting is done by an inline helper function. The macro does still save us a few lines, but at some readability cost. It obfuscates the function definitions (and makes them hard to find via grep). Much worse, though, is the fact that it isn't used consistently for all allocators. Somebody coming later may be tempted to modify DEFINE_ALLOCATOR, but they would miss alloc_commit_node, which is treated specially. Let's just drop the macro and write everything out explicitly.

move setting of object->type to alloc_* functions The "struct object" type implements basic object polymorphism. Individual instances are allocated as concrete types (or as a union type that can store any object), and a "struct object *" can be cast into its real type after examining its "type" enum. This means it is dangerous to have a type field that does not match the allocation (e.g., setting the type field of a "struct blob" to "OBJ_COMMIT" would mean that a reader might read past the allocated memory). In most of the current code this is not a problem; the first thing we do after allocating an object is usually to set its type field by passing it to create_object. However, the virtual commits we create in merge-recursive.c do not ever get their type set. This does not seem to have caused problems in practice, though (presumably because we always pass around a "struct commit" pointer and never even look at the type). We can fix this oversight and also make it harder for future code to get it wrong by setting the type directly in the object allocation functions. This will also make it easier to fix problems with commit index allocation, as we know that any object allocated by alloc_commit_node will meet the invariant that an object with an OBJ_COMMIT type field will have a unique index number.

[ Side note: this concludes the series of "save memory in object storage". The thing is, there simply isn't much more to be saved on the objects. Doing "git-rev-list --all --objects" on the mozilla archive has a final total RSS of 131498 pages for me: that's about 513MB. Of that, the object overhead is now just 56MB, the rest is going somewhere else (put another way: the fact that this patch shaves off 2.5% of the total memory overhead, considering that objects are now not much more than 10% of the total shows how big the wasted space really was: this makes object allocations much more memory- and time-efficient). I haven't looked at where the rest is, but I suspect the bulk of it is just the pack-file loading. It may be that we should pack the tree objects separately from the blob objects: for git-rev-list --objects, we don't actually ever need to even look at the blobs, but since trees and blobs are interspersed in the pack-file, we end up not being dense in the tree accesses, so we end up looking at more pages than we strictly need to. So with a 535MB pack-file, it's entirely possible - even likely - that most of the remaining RSS is just the mmap of the pack-file itself. We don't need to map in _all_ of it, but we do end up mapping a fair amount. ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

alloc: include any-object allocations in alloc_report When 2c1cbec (Use proper object allocators for unknown object nodes too, 2007-04-16), added a special "any_object" allocator, it never taught alloc_report to report on it. To do so we need to add an extra type argument to the REPORT macro, as that commit did for DEFINE_ALLOCATOR. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

alloc.c: remove the alloc_raw_commit_node() function In order to encapsulate the setting of the unique commit index, commit 969eba63 ("commit: push commit_index update into alloc_commit_node", 10-06-2014) introduced a (logically private) intermediary allocator function. However, this function (alloc_raw_commit_node()) was declared as a public function, which undermines its entire purpose. Introduce an inline function, alloc_node(), which implements the main logic of the allocator used by DEFINE_ALLOCATOR, and redefine the macro in terms of the new function. In addition, use the new function in the implementation of the alloc_commit_node() allocator, rather than the intermediary allocator, which can now be removed. Noticed by sparse ("symbol 'alloc_raw_commit_node' was not declared. Should it be static?").

Add specialized object allocator This creates a simple specialized object allocator for basic objects. This avoids wasting space with malloc overhead (metadata and extra alignment), since the specialized allocator knows the alignment, and that objects, once allocated, are never freed. It also allows us to track some basic statistics about object allocations. For example, for the mozilla import, it shows object usage as follows: blobs: 627629 (14710 kB) trees: 1119035 (34969 kB) commits: 196423 (8440 kB) tags: 1336 (46 kB) and the simpler allocator shaves off about 2.5% off the memory footprint off a "git-rev-list --all --objects", and is a bit faster too.
