In the threaded pack-objects code the main thread and the worker threads
must mutually signal that they have assigned a new pack of work or have
completed their work, respectively. Previously, the code used mutexes that
were locked in one thread and unlocked from a different thread, which is
bogus (and happens to work on Linux).
Here we rectify the implementation by using condition variables: There is
one condition variable on which the main thread waits until a thread
requests new work; and each worker thread has its own condition variable
on which it waits until it is assigned new work or signaled to terminate.
As a cleanup, the worker threads are spawned only after the initial work
packages have been assigned.

The code that splits the object list amongst work threads tries to do so

The current method consists of a master thread serving chunks of objects
to work threads when they're done with their previous chunk. The issue
is to determine the best chunk size: making it too large creates poor
load balancing, while making it too small has a negative effect on pack
size because of the increased number of chunk boundaries and poor delta
window utilization.
This patch implements a completely different approach by initially
splitting the work in large chunks uniformly amongst all threads, and
whenever a thread is done then it steals half of the remaining work from
another thread with the largest amount of unprocessed objects.
This has the advantage of greatly reducing the number of chunk boundaries
with an almost perfect load balancing.

Two functions, namely write_idx_file() and open_pack_file(), currently
return a const pointer. However that pointer is either a copy of the
first argument, or set to a malloc'd buffer when that first argument
is null. In the later case it is wrong to qualify that pointer as const
since ownership of the buffer is transferred to the caller to dispose of,
and obviously the free() function is not meant to be passed const
pointers.
Making the return pointer not const causes a warning when the first
argument is returned since that argument is also marked const.
The correct thing to do is therefore to remove the const qualifiers,
avoiding the need for ugly casts only to silence some warnings.

This is based on Martin Koegler's idea to keep the object that
was successfully used as the base of the delta when it is about
to fall off the edge of the window. Instead of doing so only
for the objects at the edge of the window, this makes the window
a lru eviction mechanism. If an entry is used as a base, it is
moved to the last of the queue to be evicted.
This is a quick-and-dirty implementation, as it keeps the original
implementation of the data structure used for the window. This
originally was done as an array, not as an array of pointers,
because it was meant to be used as a cyclic FIFO buffer and a
plain array avoids an extra pointer indirection, while its FIFOness
eant that we are not "moving" the entries like this patch does.

This adds an option (--window-memory=N) and configuration variable
(pack.windowMemory = N) to limit the memory size of the pack-objects
delta search window. This works by removing the oldest unpacked objects
whenever the total size goes above the limit. It will always leave
at least one object, though, so as not to completely eliminate the
possibility of computing deltas.
This is an extra limit on top of the normal window size (--window=N);
the window will not dynamically grow above the fixed number of entries
specified to fill the memory limit.
With this, repacking a repository with a mix of large and small objects
is possible even with a very large window.

Add a new try_delta heuristic. Don't bother trying to make a delta if
the target object size is much smaller (currently 1/32) than the source,
as it's very likely not going to get a match. Even if it does, you will
have to read at least 32x the size of the new file to reassemble it,
which isn't such a good deal. This leads to a considerable performance
improvement when deltifying a mix of small and large files with a very
large window, because you don't have to wait for the large files to
percolate out of the window before things start going fast again.

We already apply a bias on the initial delta attempt with max_size being
a function of the base object depth. This has the effect of favoring
shallower deltas even if deeper deltas could be smaller, and therefore
creating a wider delta tree (see commits 4e8da195 and c3b06a69).
This principle should also be applied to all delta attempts for the same
object and not only the first attempt. With this the criteria for the
best delta is not only its size but also its depth, so that a shallower
delta might be selected even if it is larger than a deeper one. Even if
some deltas get larger, they allow for wider delta trees making the
depth limit less quickly reached and therefore better deltas can be
subsequently found, keeping the resulting pack size even smaller.
Runtime access to the pack should also benefit from shallower deltas.
Testing on different repositories showed slighter faster repacks,
smaller resulting packs, and a much nicer curve for delta depth
distribution with no more peak at the maximum depth level.
Improvements are even more significant with smaller depth limits.

is not really worth the complexity for determining when it is valid
so get rid of it.
2) If pack limit is reached, the object buffer is freed, including when
it comes from a cached delta data. In practice the object will be

Packed objects will be compressed using --compression=level if seen,

Loose objects added to a pack undeltified will be recompressed

deltified loose objects are always compressed to the current

Previously packed objects added to a pack are recompressed
to the current pack compression level exactly when their
deltification status changes, since the previous pack data

With large amount of objects, check_object() is really trashing the pack
sliding map and the filesystem cache. It has a completely random access
pattern especially with old objects where delta replay jumps back and
forth all over the pack.
This patch improves things by:
1) sorting objects by their offset in pack before calling check_object()
so the pack access pattern is linear;
2) recording the object type at add_object_entry() time since it is
already known in most cases;
3) recording the pack offset even for preferred_base objects;
4) avoid calling sha1_object_info() if all possible.
This limits pack accesses to the bare minimum and makes them perfectly
linear.
In the process check_object() was made more clear (to me at least).
Note: I thought about walking the sorted_by_offset list backward in
get_object_details() so if a pack happens to be larger than the available
file cache, then the cache would have been populated with useful data from
the beginning of the pack already when find_deltas() is called. Strangely,
testing (on Linux) showed absolutely no performance difference.

It currently aliases delta_size on the principle that reused deltas won't
go through the whole delta matching loop hence delta_size was unused.
This is not true if given delta doesn't find its base in the pack though.
But we need that information even for whole object data reuse.
Well in short the current state looks awful and is prone to bugs. It just
works fine now because try_delta() tests trg_entry->delta before using
trg_entry->delta_size, but that is a bit subtle and I was wondering for a
while why things just worked fine... even if I'm guilty of having
introduced this abomination myself in the first place.
Let's do the sensible thing instead with no ambiguity, which is to have

Objects that have delta "children" from pack data reuse must consider the
depth of their deepest child when they try to deltify themselves for those
children not to become too deep.
However, in the context of a "thin" pack, the delta children depth was
skipped entirely on the presumption that the pack was always going to be
exploded on the receiving end, hence the delta length wasn't an issue.
Now that we keep received packs as is and reuse pack data when repacking,
those packs do contain delta chains that are longer than expected. Worse,
those delta chain may even grow longer when the pack is further repacked
into another thin pack for a subsequent transmission.
So this patch restores strict delta length even for thin packs, and it
moves check_delta_limit() usage directly in the delta loop where it is
needed. This way the delta_limit can be removed from struct object_entry
as well. Oh and the initial value was wrong too.
The progress_interval() function was moved to a more logical location in
the process.

Pack index version 2 goes as follows:
- 8 bytes of header with signature and version.
- 256 entries of 4-byte first-level fan-out table.
- Table of sorted 20-byte SHA1 records for each object in pack.
- Table of 4-byte CRC32 entries for raw pack object data.
- Table of 4-byte offset entries for objects in the pack if offset is
representable with 31 bits or less, otherwise it is an index in the next
table with top bit set.
- Table of 8-byte offset entries indexed from previous table for offsets
which are 32 bits or more (optional).
- 20-byte SHA1 checksum of sorted object names.
- 20-byte SHA1 checksum of the above.
The object SHA1 table is all contiguous so future pack format that would
contain this table directly won't require big changes to the code. It is
also tighter for slightly better cache locality when looking up entries.
Support for large packs exceeding 31 bits in size won't impose an index
size bloat for packs within that range that don't need a 64-bit offset.
And because newer objects which are likely to be the most frequently used
are located at the beginning of the pack, they won't pay the 64-bit offset
lookup at run time either even if the pack is large.
Right now an index version 2 is created only when the biggest offset in a
pack reaches 31 bits. It might be a good idea to always use index version
2 eventually to benefit from the CRC32 it contains when reusing pack data
while repacking.

The most important optimization for performance when repacking is the
ability to reuse data from a previous pack as is and bypass any delta
or even SHA1 computation by simply copying the raw data from one pack
to another directly.
The problem with this is that any data corruption within a copied object
would go unnoticed and the new (repacked) pack would be self-consistent
with its own checksum despite containing a corrupted object. This is a
real issue that already happened at least once in the past.
In some attempt to prevent this, we validate the copied data by inflating
it and making sure no error is signaled by zlib. But this is still not
perfect as a significant portion of a pack content is made of object
headers and references to delta base objects which are not deflated and
therefore not validated when repacking actually making the pack data reuse
still not as safe as it could be.
Of course a full SHA1 validation could be performed, but that implies
full data inflating and delta replaying which is extremely costly, which
cost the data reuse optimization was designed to avoid in the first place.
So the best solution to this is simply to store a CRC32 of the raw pack
data for each object in the pack index. This way any object in a pack can
be validated before being copied as is in another pack, including header
and any other non deflated data.
Why CRC32 instead of a faster checksum like Adler32? Quoting Wikipedia:
Jonathan Stone discovered in 2001 that Adler-32 has a weakness for very
short messages. He wrote "Briefly, the problem is that, for very short
packets, Adler32 is guaranteed to give poor coverage of the available
bits. Don't take my word for it, ask Mark Adler. :-)" The problem is
that sum A does not wrap for short messages. The maximum value of A for
a 128-byte message is 32640, which is below the value 65521 used by the
modulo operation. An extended explanation can be found in RFC 3309,
which mandates the use of CRC32 instead of Adler-32 for SCTP, the
Stream Control Transmission Protocol.
In the context of a GIT pack, we have lots of small objects, especially
deltas, which are likely to be quite small and in a size range for which
Adler32 is dimed not to be sufficient. Another advantage of CRC32 is the
possibility for recovery from certain types of small corruptions like
single bit errors which are the most probable type of corruptions.
OK what this patch does is to compute the CRC32 of each object written to
a pack within pack-objects. It is not written to the index yet and it is
obviously not validated when reusing pack data yet either.

Junio noticed that 'non-trivial' pushes were failing if executed
using the sliding window mmap changes. This was somewhat difficult
to track down as the failure was appearing randomly.
It turns out this was a failure caused by the delta base reference
(either ref or offset format) spanning over the end of a mmap window.
The error in pack-objects was we were not recalling use_pack
after the object header was unpacked, and therefore we did not
get the promise of at least 20 bytes in the buffer for the delta
base parsing. This would case later memcmp() calls to walk into
unassigned address space at the end of the window.
The reason Junio and I had hard time tracking this down in current
Git repositories is we were both probably packing with offset deltas,
which minimized the odds of the delta base reference spanning over
the end of the mmap window. Stepping back and repacking with
version 1.3.3 (which only supported reference deltas) increased
the likelyhood of seeing the bug.
The correct technique (as used in sha1_file.c) is to invoke
use_pack() after unpack_object_header_gently to ensure we have
enough data available for the delta base decoding.

When multiple mmaps start getting used for all pack file access it
is not possible to get all data associated with a specific object
in one contiguous memory region. This limitation prevents simply
passing a single address and length to SHA1_Update or to inflate.
Instead we need to loop until we have processed all data of interest.
As we loop over the data we are always interested in reusing the same
window 'cursor', as the prior window will no longer be of any use
to us. This allows the use_pack() call to automatically decrement
the use count of the prior window before setting up access for us
to the next window.
Within each loop we need to make use of the available length output
parameter of use_pack() to tell us how many bytes are available in
the current memory region, as we cannot tell otherwise.

Part of the implementation concept of the sliding mmap window for
pack access is to permit multiple windows per pack to be mapped
independently. Since the inuse_cnt is associated with the mmap and
not with the file, this value is in struct pack_window and needs to
be incremented/decremented for each pack_window accessed by any code.
To faciliate that implementation we need to replace all uses of
use_packed_git() and unuse_packed_git() with a different API that
follows struct pack_window objects rather than struct packed_git.
The way this works is when we need to start accessing a pack for
the first time we should setup a new window 'cursor' by declaring
a local and setting it to NULL:
struct pack_windows *w_curs = NULL;
To obtain the memory region which contains a specific section of
the pack file we invoke use_pack(), supplying the address of our
current window cursor:
unsigned int len;
unsigned char *addr = use_pack(p, &w_curs, offset, &len);
the returned address `addr` will be the first byte at `offset`
within the pack file. The optional variable len will also be
updated with the number of bytes remaining following the address.
Multiple calls to use_pack() with the same window cursor will
update the window cursor, moving it from one window to another
when necessary. In this way each window cursor variable maintains
only one struct pack_window inuse at a time.
Finally before exiting the scope which originally declared the window
cursor we must invoke unuse_pack() to unuse the current window (which
may be different from the one that was first obtained from use_pack):
unuse_pack(&w_curs);
This implementation is still not complete with regards to multiple
windows, as only one window per pack file is supported right now.

The idea behind the sliding mmap window pack reader implementation

To implement this we need to refactor the mmap related data
(pack_base, pack_use_cnt) out of struct packed_git and move them

in sha1_file.c only.
The OBJ_OFS_DELTA contains a relative offset from the delta object's
position in a pack instead of the 20-byte SHA1 reference to identify
the base object. Since the base is likely to be not so far away, the
relative offset is more likely to have a smaller encoding on average
than an absolute offset. And for those delta objects the base must
always be stored first because there is no way to know the distance of
later objects when streaming a pack. Hence this relative offset is
always meant to be negative.
The offset encoding is slightly denser than the one used for object
size -- credits to <linux@horizon.com> (whoever this is) for bringing
