Commit 72441af (tree-diff: rework diff_tree() to generate
diffs for multiparent cases as well, 2014-04-07) introduced
the use of alloca so that the common cases of commits with 1
or 2 parents would not be adversely affected by going
through the multi-parent code.
However, our xalloca is not ideal when the number of parents
grows very large:
1. If the requested size is too large for our stack,
alloca() has no way to tell us, and we simply segfault
while trying to access the memory.
2. It does not use our usual memory_limit_check() logic.
I measured, and alloca is indeed buying us a very small
speedup over xmalloc()/free(). So we'd want to keep
something like it.
This patch simply puts a conditional in place at each
callsite: we use alloca for common known-small numbers of
parents, and otherwise use the heap. We are technically
still vulnerable to (1), but no more so than if we simply
put a few dozen bytes on the stack, which we must do all the
time anyway. And likewise, we technically miss a memory
limit check if it is tiny, but such a limit is pointless.
An alternative to this would be implement something like:
struct tree *tp, tp_fallback[2];
if (nparent <= ARRAY_SIZE(tp_fallback))
tp = tp_fallback;
else
ALLOC_ARRAY(tp, nparent);
...
if (tp != tp_fallback)
free(tp);
That would let us drop our xalloca() portability code
entirely. But in my measurements, this seemed to perform
slightly worse than the xalloca solution.
Note in the example above, and in the patch below, I've used
ALLOC_ARRAY() to replace the manual xmalloc(nr * sizeof(*x)).
Besides being shorter, this has the bonus that one cannot
accidentally overflow a size_t during that computation.

Previously diff_tree(), which is now named ll_diff_tree_sha1(), was
generating diff_filepair(s) for two trees t1 and t2, and that was
usually used for a commit as t1=HEAD~, and t2=HEAD - i.e. to see changes
a commit introduces.
In Git, however, we have fundamentally built flexibility in that a
commit can have many parents - 1 for a plain commit, 2 for a simple merge,
but also more than 2 for merging several heads at once.
For merges there is a so called combine-diff, which shows diff, a merge
introduces by itself, omitting changes done by any parent. That works
through first finding paths, that are different to all parents, and then
showing generalized diff, with separate columns for +/- for each parent.
The code lives in combine-diff.c .
There is an impedance mismatch, however, in that a commit could
generally have any number of parents, and that while diffing trees, we
divide cases for 2-tree diffs and more-than-2-tree diffs. I mean there
is no special casing for multiple parents commits in e.g.
revision-walker .
That impedance mismatch *hurts* *performance* *badly* for generating
combined diffs - in "combine-diff: optimize combine_diff_path
sets intersection" I've already removed some slowness from it, but from
the timings provided there, it could be seen, that combined diffs still
cost more than an order of magnitude more cpu time, compared to diff for
usual commits, and that would only be an optimistic estimate, if we take
into account that for e.g. linux.git there is only one merge for several
dozens of plain commits.
That slowness comes from the fact that currently, while generating
combined diff, a lot of time is spent computing diff(commit,commit^2)
just to only then intersect that huge diff to almost small set of files
from diff(commit,commit^1).
That's because at present, to compute combine-diff, for first finding
paths, that "every parent touches", we use the following combine-diff
property/definition:
D(A,P1...Pn) = D(A,P1) ^ ... ^ D(A,Pn) (w.r.t. paths)
where
D(A,P1...Pn) is combined diff between commit A, and parents Pi
and
D(A,Pi) is usual two-tree diff Pi..A
So if any of that D(A,Pi) is huge, tracting 1 n-parent combine-diff as n
1-parent diffs and intersecting results will be slow.
And usually, for linux.git and other topic-based workflows, that
D(A,P2) is huge, because, if merge-base of A and P2, is several dozens
of merges (from A, via first parent) below, that D(A,P2) will be diffing
sum of merges from several subsystems to 1 subsystem.
The solution is to avoid computing n 1-parent diffs, and to find
changed-to-all-parents paths via scanning A's and all Pi's trees
simultaneously, at each step comparing their entries, and based on that
comparison, populate paths result, and deduce we could *skip*
*recursing* into subdirectories, if at least for 1 parent, sha1 of that
dir tree is the same as in A. That would save us from doing significant
amount of needless work.
Such approach is very similar to what diff_tree() does, only there we
deal with scanning only 2 trees simultaneously, and for n+1 tree, the
logic is a bit more complex:
D(T,P1...Pn) calculation scheme
-------------------------------
D(T,P1...Pn) = D(T,P1) ^ ... ^ D(T,Pn) (regarding resulting paths set)
D(T,Pj) - diff between T..Pj
D(T,P1...Pn) - combined diff from T to parents P1,...,Pn
We start from all trees, which are sorted, and compare their entries in
lock-step:
T P1 Pn
- - -
|t| |p1| |pn|
|-| |--| ... |--| imin = argmin(p1...pn)
| | | | | |
|-| |--| |--|
|.| |. | |. |
. . .
. . .
at any time there could be 3 cases:
1) t < p[imin];
2) t > p[imin];
3) t = p[imin].
Schematic deduction of what every case means, and what to do, follows:
1) t < p[imin] -> ∀j t ∉ Pj -> "+t" ∈ D(T,Pj) -> D += "+t"; t↓
2) t > p[imin]
2.1) ∃j: pj > p[imin] -> "-p[imin]" ∉ D(T,Pj) -> D += ø; ∀ pi=p[imin] pi↓
2.2) ∀i pi = p[imin] -> pi ∉ T -> "-pi" ∈ D(T,Pi) -> D += "-p[imin]"; ∀i pi↓
3) t = p[imin]
3.1) ∃j: pj > p[imin] -> "+t" ∈ D(T,Pj) -> only pi=p[imin] remains to investigate
3.2) pi = p[imin] -> investigate δ(t,pi)

⎧δ(t,pi) - if pi=p[imin]

For comparison, here is how diff_tree() works:

This patch generalizes diff tree-walker to work with arbitrary number of
parents as described above - i.e. now there is a resulting tree t, and
some parents trees tp[i] i=[0..nparent). The generalization builds on
the fact that usual diff
D(A,B)
is by definition the same as combined diff
D(A,[B]),
so if we could rework the code for common case and make it be not slower
for nparent=1 case, usual diff(t1,t2) generation will not be slower, and
multiparent diff tree-walker would greatly benefit generating
combine-diff.
What we do is as follows:
1) diff tree-walker ll_diff_tree_sha1() is internally reworked to be
a paths generator (new name diff_tree_paths()), with each generated path
being `struct combine_diff_path` with info for path, new sha1,mode and for
every parent which sha1,mode it was in it.
2) From that info, we can still generate usual diff queue with
struct diff_filepairs, via "exporting" generated
combine_diff_path, if we know we run for nparent=1 case.
(see emit_diff() which is now named emit_diff_first_parent_only())
3) In order for diff_can_quit_early(), which checks
DIFF_OPT_TST(opt, HAS_CHANGES))
to work, that exporting have to be happening not in bulk, but
incrementally, one diff path at a time.
For such consumers, there is a new callback in diff_options
introduced:
->pathchange(opt, struct combine_diff_path *)
which, if set to !NULL, is called for every generated path.
(see new compat ll_diff_tree_sha1() wrapper around new paths
generator for setup)
4) The paths generation itself, is reworked from previous
ll_diff_tree_sha1() code according to "D(A,P1...Pn) calculation
scheme" provided above:
On the start we allocate [nparent] arrays in place what was
earlier just for one parent tree.
then we just generalize loops, and comparison according to the
algorithm.
Some notes(*):
1) alloca(), for small arrays, is used for "runs not slower for
nparent=1 case than before" goal - if we change it to xmalloc()/free()
the timings get ~1% worse. For alloca() we use just-introduced
xalloca/xalloca_free compatibility wrappers, so it should not be a
portability problem.
2) For every parent tree, we need to keep a tag, whether entry from that
parent equals to entry from minimal parent. For performance reasons I'm
keeping that tag in entry's mode field in unused bit - see S_IFXMIN_NEQ.
Not doing so, we'd need to alloca another [nparent] array, which hurts
performance.
3) For emitted paths, memory could be reused, if we know the path was
processed via callback and will not be needed later. We use efficient
hand-made realloc-style path_appendnew(), that saves us from ~1-1.5%
of potential additional slowdown.
4) goto(s) are used in several places, as the code executes a little bit
faster with lowered register pressure.
Also
- we should now check for FIND_COPIES_HARDER not only when two entries
names are the same, and their hashes are equal, but also for a case,
when a path was removed from some of all parents having it.
The reason is, if we don't, that path won't be emitted at all (see
"a > xi" case), and we'll just skip it, and FIND_COPIES_HARDER wants
all paths - with diff or without - to be emitted, to be later analyzed
for being copies sources.
The new check is only necessary for nparent >1, as for nparent=1 case
xmin_eqtotal always =1 =nparent, and a path is always added to diff as
removal.
~~~~~~~~
Timings for
# without -c, i.e. testing only nparent=1 case
`git log --raw --no-abbrev --no-renames`
before and after the patch are as follows:
navy.git linux.git v3.10..v3.11
before 0.611s 1.889s
after 0.619s 1.907s
slowdown 1.3% 0.9%
This timings show we did no harm to usual diff(tree1,tree2) generation.
From the table we can see that we actually did ~1% slowdown, but I think
I've "earned" that 1% in the previous patch ("tree-diff: reuse base
str(buf) memory on sub-tree recursion", HEAD~~) so for nparent=1 case,
net timings stays approximately the same.
The output also stayed the same.
(*) If we revert 1)-4) to more usual techniques, for nparent=1 case,
we'll get ~2-2.5% of additional slowdown, which I've tried to avoid, as
"do no harm for nparent=1 case" rule.
For linux.git, combined diff will run an order of magnitude faster and
appropriate timings will be provided in the next commit, as we'll be
taking advantage of the new diff tree-walker for combined-diff
generation there.
P.S. and combined diff is not some exotic/for-play-only stuff - for
example for a program I write to represent Git archives as readonly
filesystem, there is initial scan with
`git log --reverse --raw --no-abbrev --no-renames -c`
to extract log of what was created/changed when, as a result building a
map
{} sha1 -> in which commit (and date) a content was added
that `-c` means also show combined diff for merges, and without them, if
a merge is non-trivial (merges changes from two parents with both having
separate changes to a file), or an evil one, the map will not be full,
i.e. some valid sha1 would be absent from it.
That case was my initial motivation for combined diffs speedup.

As described in previous commit, when recursing into sub-trees, we can
use lower-level tree walker, since its interface is now sha1 based.
The change is ok, because diff_tree_sha1() only invokes

In the next commit this will allow to reduce intermediate calls, when
recursing into subtrees - at that stage we know only subtree sha1, and
it is natural for tree walker to start from that phase. For now we do
diff_tree
show_path
diff_tree_sha1
diff_tree
...
and the change will allow to reduce it to
diff_tree
show_path
diff_tree
Also, it will allow to omit allocating strbuf for each subtree, and just
reuse the common strbuf via playing with its len.
The above-mentioned improvements go in the next 2 patches.
The downside is that try_to_follow_renames(), if active, we cause
re-reading of 2 initial trees, which was negligible based on my timings,
and which is outweighed cogently by the upsides.
NOTE To keep with the current interface and semantics, I needed to
rename the function from diff_tree() to diff_tree_sha1(). As
diff_tree_sha1() was already used, and the function we are talking here
is its more low-level helper, let's use convention for prefixing
such helpers with "ll_". So the final renaming is

While walking trees, we iterate their entries from lowest to highest in
sort order, so empty tree means all entries were already went over.
If we artificially assign +infinity value to such tree "entry", it will
go after all usual entries, and through the usual driver loop we will be
taking the same actions, which were hand-coded for special cases, i.e.
t1 empty, t2 non-empty
pathcmp(+∞, t2) -> +1
show_path(/*t1=*/NULL, t2); /* = t1 > t2 case in main loop */
t1 non-empty, t2-empty
pathcmp(t1, +∞) -> -1
show_path(t1, /*t2=*/NULL); /* = t1 < t2 case in main loop */
In other words when we have t1 and t2, we return a sign that tells the
caller to indicate the "earlier" one to be emitted, and by returning the
sign that causes the non-empty side to be emitted, we will automatically
cause the entries from the remaining side to be emitted, without
attempting to touch the empty side at all. We can teach
tree_entry_pathcmp() to pretend that an empty tree has an element that
sorts after anything else to achieve this.
Right now we never go to when compared tree descriptors are both
infinity, as this condition is checked in the loop beginning as
finishing criteria, but will do so in the future, when there will be
several parents iterated simultaneously, and some pair of them would run
to the end.

It does, but we'll be reworking it in the next patch after it won't, and
besides it is better to stick to standard
strcmp/memcmp/base_name_compare/etc... convention, where comparison
function returns <0, =0, >0
Regarding performance, comparing for <0, =0, >0 should be a little bit
faster, than switch, because it is just 1 test-without-immediate
instruction and then up to 3 conditional branches, and in switch you
have up to 3 tests with immediate and up to 3 conditional branches.
No worry, that update_tree_entry(t2) is duplicated for =0 and >0 - it
will be good after we'll be adding support for multiparent walker and
will stay that way.

Currently both compare_tree_entry() and show_entry() invoke opt diff
callbacks (opt->add_remove() and opt->change()), and also they both have
code which decides whether to recurse into sub-tree, and whether to emit
a tree as separate entry if DIFF_OPT_TREE_IN_RECURSIVE is set.
I.e. we have code duplication and logic scattered on two places.
Let's consolidate it - all diff emiting code and recurion logic moves
to show_entry, which is now named as show_path, because it shows diff
for a path, based on up to two tree entries, with actual diff emitting
code being kept in new helper emit_diff() for clarity.
What we have as the result, is that compare_tree_entry is now free from
code with logic for diff generation, and also performance is not
affected as timings for
`git log --raw --no-abbrev --no-renames`
for navy.git and `linux.git v3.10..v3.11`, just like in previous patch,

We don't need special code for showing added/removed subtree, because we
can do the same via diff_tree_sha1, just passing NULL for absent tree.
And compared to show_tree(), which was calling show_entry() for every
tree entry, that would lead to the same show_entry() callings:
show_tree(t):
for e in t.entries:
show_entry(e)
diff_tree_sha1(NULL, new): /* the same applies to (old, NULL) */
diff_tree(t1=NULL, t2)
...
if (!t1->size)
show_entry(t2)
...
and possible overhead is negligible, since after the patch, timing for
`git log --raw --no-abbrev --no-renames`
for navy.git and `linux.git v3.10..v3.11` is practically the same.
So let's say goodbye to show_tree() - it removes some code, but also,

the input is known to be pure paths. In this case we usually don't
want --*-pathspecs to interfere. And we definitely do not want to
parse magic in these paths, regardless of --literal-pathspecs.
Add new flag PATHSPEC_LITERAL_PATH for this purpose. When it's set,
--*-pathspecs are ignored, no magic is parsed. And if the caller
allows PATHSPEC_LITERAL (i.e. the next calls can take literal magic),
then PATHSPEC_LITERAL will be set.
This fixes cases where git chokes when GIT_*_PATHSPECS are set because
parse_pathspec() indicates it won't take any magic. But
GIT_*_PATHSPECS add them anyway. These are
export GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS=1
git blame -- something
git log --follow something
git log --merge
"git ls-files --with-tree=path" (aka parse_pathspec() in
overlay_tree_on_cache()) is safe because the input is empty, and
producing one pathspec due to PATHSPEC_PREFER_CWD does not take any
magic into account.

GUARD_PATHSPEC() marks pathspec-sensitive code, basically all those
that touch anything in 'struct pathspec' except fields "nr" and
"original". GUARD_PATHSPEC() is not supposed to fail. It's mainly to
help the designers catch unsupported codepaths.

match_pathspec_depth() and tree_entry_interesting() check max_depth
field in order to support "git grep --max-depth". The feature
activation is tied to "recursive" field, which led to some unwanted
activation, e.g. 5c8eeb8 (diff-index: enable recursive pathspec
matching in unpack_trees - 2012-01-15).
This patch decouples the activation from "recursive" field, puts it in
"magic" field instead. This makes sure that only "git grep" can
activate this feature. And because parse_pathspec knows when the
feature is not used, it does not need to sort pathspec (required for
max_depth to work correctly). A small win for non-grep cases.
Even though a new magic flag is introduced, no magic syntax is. The
magic can be only enabled by parse_pathspec() caller. We might someday
want to support ":(maxdepth:10)src." It all depends on actual use
cases.
max_depth feature cannot be enabled via init_pathspec() anymore. But
that's ok because init_pathspec() is on its way to /dev/null.

* jk/maint-null-in-trees:
fsck: detect null sha1 in tree entries
do not write null sha1s to on-disk index
diff: do not use null sha1 as a sentinel value
diff_setup_done() has historically returned an error code, but lost
the last nonzero return in 943d5b7 (allow diff.renamelimit to be set
regardless of -M/-C, 2006-08-09). The callers were in a pretty
confused state: some actually checked for the return code, and some
did not.
Let it return void, and patch all callers to take this into account.
This conveniently also gets rid of a handful of different(!) error
messages that could never be triggered anyway.
Note that the function can still die().

The diff code represents paths using the diff_filespec
struct. This struct has a sha1 to represent the sha1 of the
content at that path, as well as a sha1_valid member which
indicates whether its sha1 field is actually useful. If
sha1_valid is not true, then the filespec represents a
working tree file (e.g., for the no-index case, or for when
the index is not up-to-date).
The diff_filespec is only used internally, though. At the
interfaces to the diff subsystem, callers feed the sha1
directly, and we create a diff_filespec from it. It's at
that point that we look at the sha1 and decide whether it is
valid or not; callers may pass the null sha1 as a sentinel
value to indicate that it is not.
We should not typically see the null sha1 coming from any
other source (e.g., in the index itself, or from a tree).
However, a corrupt tree might have a null sha1, which would
cause "diff --patch" to accidentally diff the working tree
version of a file instead of treating it as a blob.
This patch extends the edges of the diff interface to accept
a "sha1_valid" flag whenever we accept a sha1, and to use
that flag when creating a filespec. In some cases, this
means passing the flag through several layers, making the
code change larger than would be desirable.
One alternative would be to simply die() upon seeing
corrupted trees with null sha1s. However, this fix more
directly addresses the problem (while bogus sha1s in a tree
are probably a bad thing, it is really the sentinel
confusion sending us down the wrong code path that is what
makes it devastating). And it means that git is more capable
of examining and debugging these corrupted trees. For
example, you can still "diff --raw" such a tree to find out
when the bogus entry was introduced; you just cannot do a
"--patch" diff (just as you could not with any other
corrupted tree, as we do not have any content to diff).
