commit-reach: implement ahead_behind() logic Fully implement the commit-counting logic required to determine ahead/behind counts for a batch of commit pairs. This is a new library method within commit-reach.h. This method will be linked to the for-each-ref builtin in the next change. The interface for ahead_behind() uses two arrays. The first array of commits contains the list of all starting points for the walk. This includes all tip commits _and_ base commits. The second array specifies base/tip pairs by pointing to commits within the first array, by index. The second array also stores the resulting ahead/behind counts for each of these pairs. This implementation of ahead_behind() allows multiple bases, if desired. Even with multiple bases, there is only one commit walk used for counting the ahead/behind values, saving time when the base/tip ranges overlap significantly. This interface for ahead_behind() also makes it very easy to call ensure_generations_valid() on the entire array of bases and tips. This call is necessary because it is critical that the walk that counts ahead/behind values never walks a commit more than once. Without generation numbers on every commit, there is a possibility that a commit date skew could cause the walk to revisit a commit and then double-count it. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that 'git ahead-behind' is only run in a repository with a commit-graph file that covers most of the reachable commits, storing precomputed generation numbers. If no commit-graph exists, this walk will be much slower as it must walk all reachable commits in ensure_generations_valid() before performing the counting logic. It is possible to detect if generation numbers are available at run time and redirect the implementation to another algorithm that does not require this property. However, that implementation requires a commit walk per base/tip pair _and_ can be slower due to the commit date heuristics required. Such an implementation could be considered in the future if there is a reason to include it, but most Git hosts should already be generating a commit-graph file as part of repository maintenance. Most Git clients should also be generating commit-graph files as part of background maintenance or automatic GCs. Now, let's discuss the ahead/behind counting algorithm. The first array of commits are considered the starting commits. The index within that array will play a critical role. We create a new commit slab that maps commits to a bitmap. For a given commit (anywhere in the history), its bitmap stores information relative to which of the input commits can reach that commit. The ith bit will be on if the ith commit from the starting list can reach that commit. It is important to notice that these bitmaps are not the typical "reachability bitmaps" that are stored in .bitmap files. Instead of signalling which objects are reachable from the current commit, they instead signal "which starting commits can reach me?" It is also important to know that the bitmap is not necessarily "complete" until we walk that commit. We will perform a commit walk by generation number in such a way that we can guarantee the bitmap is correct when we visit that commit. At the beginning of the ahead_behind() method, we initialize the bitmaps for each of the starting commits. By enabling the ith bit for the ith starting commit, we signal "the ith commit can reach itself." We walk commits by popping the commit with maximum generation number out of the queue, guaranteeing that we will never walk a child of that commit in any future steps. As we walk, we load the bitmap for the current commit and perform two main steps. The _second_ step examines each parent of the current commit and adds the current commit's bitmap bits to each parent's bitmap. (We create a new bitmap for the parent if this is our first time seeing that parent.) After adding the bits to the parent's bitmap, the parent is added to the walk queue. Due to this passing of bits to parents, the current commit has a guarantee that the ith bit is enabled on its bitmap if and only if the ith commit can reach the current commit. The first step of the walk is to examine the bitmask on the current commit and decide which ranges the commit is in or not. Due to the "bit pushing" in the second step, we have a guarantee that the ith bit of the current commit's bitmap is on if and only if the ith starting commit can reach it. For each ahead_behind_count struct, check the base_index and tip_index to see if those bits are enabled on the current bitmap. If exactly one bit is enabled, then increment the corresponding 'ahead' or 'behind' count. This increment is the reason we _absolutely need_ to walk commits at most once. The only subtle thing to do with this walk is to check to see if a parent has all bits on in its bitmap, in which case it becomes "stale" and is marked with the STALE bit. This allows queue_has_nonstale() to be the terminating condition of the walk, which greatly reduces the number of commits walked if all of the commits are nearby in history. It avoids walking a large number of common commits when there is a deep history. We also use the helper method insert_no_dup() to add commits to the priority queue without adding them multiple times. This uses the PARENT2 flag. Thus, we must clear both the STALE and PARENT2 bits of all commits, in case ahead_behind() is called multiple times in the same process.

commit-reach: use heuristic in remove_redundant() Reachability algorithms in commit-reach.c frequently benefit from using the first-parent history as a heuristic for satisfying reachability queries. The most obvious example was implemented in 4fbcca4e (commit-reach: make can_all_from_reach... linear, 2018-07-20). Update the walk in remove_redundant() to use this same heuristic. Here, we are walking starting at the parents of the input commits. Sort those parents and walk from the highest generation to lower. Each time, use the heuristic of searching the first parent history before continuing to expand the walk. The order in which we explore the commits matters, so update compare_commits_by_gen to break generation number ties with commit date. This has no effect when the commits are in a commit-graph file with corrected commit dates computed, but it will assist when the commits are in the region "above" the commit-graph with "infinite" generation number. Note that we cannot shift to use compare_commits_by_gen_then_commit_date as the method prototype is different. We use compare_commits_by_gen for QSORT() as opposed to as a priority function. The important piece is to ensure we short-circuit the walk when we find that there is a single non-redundant commit. This happens frequently when looking for merge-bases or comparing several tags with 'git merge-base --independent'. Use a new count 'count_still_independent' and if that hits 1 we can stop walking. To update 'count_still_independent' properly, we add use of the RESULT flag on the input commits. Then we can detect when we reach one of these commits and decrease the count. We need to remove the RESULT flag at that moment because we might re-visit that commit when popping the stack. We use the STALE flag to mark parents that have been added to the new walk_start list, but we need to clear that flag before we start walking so those flags don't halt our depth-first-search walk. On my copy of the Linux kernel repository, the performance of 'git merge-base --independent <all-tags>' goes from 1.1 seconds to 0.11 seconds.

commit-reach: use corrected commit dates in paint_down_to_common() 091f4cf (commit: don't use generation numbers if not needed, 2018-08-30) changed paint_down_to_common() to use commit dates instead of generation numbers v1 (topological levels) as the performance regressed on certain topologies. With generation number v2 (corrected commit dates) implemented, we no longer have to rely on commit dates and can use generation numbers. For example, the command `git merge-base v4.8 v4.9` on the Linux repository walks 167468 commits, taking 0.135s for committer date and 167496 commits, taking 0.157s for corrected committer date respectively. While using corrected commit dates, Git walks nearly the same number of commits as commit date, the process is slower as for each comparision we have to access a commit-slab (for corrected committer date) instead of accessing struct member (for committer date). This change incidentally broke the fragile t6404-recursive-merge test. t6404-recursive-merge sets up a unique repository where all commits have the same committer date without a well-defined merge-base. While running tests with GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH unset, we use committer date as a heuristic in paint_down_to_common(). 6404.1 'combined merge conflicts' merges commits in the order: - Merge C with B to form an intermediate commit. - Merge the intermediate commit with A. With GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH=1, we write a commit-graph and subsequently use the corrected committer date, which changes the order in which commits are merged: - Merge A with B to form an intermediate commit. - Merge the intermediate commit with C. While resulting repositories are equivalent, 6404.4 'virtual trees were processed' fails with GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH=1 as we are selecting different merge-bases and thus have different object ids for the intermediate commits. As this has already causes problems (as noted in 859fdc0 (commit-graph: define GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH, 2018-08-29)), we disable commit graph within t6404-recursive-merge.

commit-reach: use one walk in remove_redundant() The current implementation of remove_redundant() uses several calls to paint_down_to_common() to determine that commits are independent of each other. This leads to quadratic behavior when many inputs are passed to commands such as 'git merge-base'. For example, in the Linux kernel repository, I tested the performance by passing all tags: git merge-base --independent $(git for-each-ref refs/tags --format="$(refname)") (Note: I had to delete the tags v2.6.11-tree and v2.6.11 as they do not point to commits.) Here is the performance improvement introduced by this change: Before: 16.4s After: 1.1s This performance improvement requires the commit-graph file to be present. We keep the old algorithm around as remove_redundant_no_gen() and use it when generation_numbers_enabled() is false. This is similar to other algorithms within commit-reach.c. The new algorithm is implemented in remove_redundant_with_gen(). The basic approach is to do one commit walk instead of many. First, scan all commits in the list and mark their _parents_ with the STALE flag. This flag will indicate commits that are reachable from one of the inputs, except not including themselves. Then, walk commits until covering all commits up to the minimum generation number pushing the STALE flag throughout. At the end, we need to clear the STALE bit from all of the commits we walked. We move the non-stale commits in 'array' to the beginning of the list, and this might overwrite stale commits. However, we store an array of commits that started the walk, and use clear_commit_marks() on each of those starting commits. That method will walk the reachable commits with the STALE bit and clear them all. This makes the algorithm safe for re-entry or for other uses of those commits after this walk. This logic is covered by tests in t6600-test-reach.sh, so the behavior does not change. This is tested both in the case with a commit-graph and without.

timestamp_t min_generation = GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY;
commit-reach: stale commits may prune generation further The remove_redundant_with_gen() algorithm performs a depth-first-search to find commits in the 'array' list, starting at the parents of each commit in 'array'. The result is that commits in 'array' are marked STALE when they are reachable from another commit in 'array'. This depth-first-search is fast when commits lie on or near the first-parent history of the higher commits. The search terminates early if all but one commit becomes marked STALE. However, it is possible that there are two independent commits with high generation number. In that case, the depth-first-search might languish by searching in lower generations due to the fixed min_generation used throughout the method. With the expectation that commits with lower generation are expected to become STALE more often, we can optimize further by increasing that min_generation boundary upon discovery of the commit with minimum generation. We must first sort the commits in 'array' by generation. We cannot sort 'array' itself since it must preserve relative order among the returned results (see revision.c:mark_redundant_parents() for an example). This simplifies the initialization of min_generation, but it also allows us to increase the new min_generation when we find the commit with smallest generation remaining. This requires more than two commits in order to test, so I used the Linux kernel repository with a few commits that are slightly off of the first-parent history. I timed the following command: git merge-base --independent 2ecedd756908 d2360a398f0b \ 1253935ad801 160bab43419e 0e2209629fec 1d0e16ac1a9e The first two commits have similar generation and are near the v5.10 tag. Commit 160bab43419e is off of the first-parent history behind v5.5, while the others are scattered somewhere reachable from v5.9. This is designed to demonstrate the optimization, as that commit within v5.5 would normally cause a lot of extra commit walking. Since remove_redundant_with_alg() is called only when at least one of the input commits has a finite generation number, this algorithm is tested with a commit-graph generated starting at a number of different tags, the earliest being v5.5. commit-graph at v5.5: | Method | Time | |-----------------------+-------| | *_no_gen() | 864ms | | *_with_gen() (before) | 858ms | | *_with_gen() (after) | 810ms | commit-graph at v5.7: | Method | Time | |-----------------------+-------| | *_no_gen() | 625ms | | *_with_gen() (before) | 572ms | | *_with_gen() (after) | 517ms | commit-graph at v5.9: | Method | Time | |-----------------------+-------| | *_no_gen() | 268ms | | *_with_gen() (before) | 224ms | | *_with_gen() (after) | 202ms | commit-graph at v5.10: | Method | Time | |-----------------------+-------| | *_no_gen() | 72ms | | *_with_gen() (before) | 37ms | | *_with_gen() (after) | 9ms | Note that these are only modest improvements for the case where the two independent commits are not in the commit-graph (not until v5.10). All algorithms get faster as more commits are indexed, which is not a surprise. However, the cost of walking extra commits is more and more prevalent in relative terms as more commits are indexed. Finally, the last case allows us to jump to the minimum generation between the last two commits (that are actually independent) so we greatly reduce the cost in that case.

The new algorithm is implemented in remove_redundant_with_gen(). The basic approach is to do one commit walk instead of many. First, scan all commits in the list and mark their _parents_ with the STALE flag. This flag will indicate commits that are reachable from one of the inputs, except not including themselves. Then, walk commits until covering all commits up to the minimum generation number pushing the STALE flag throughout. At the end, we need to clear the STALE bit from all of the commits we walked. We move the non-stale commits in 'array' to the beginning of the list, and this might overwrite stale commits. However, we store an array of commits that started the walk, and use clear_commit_marks() on each of those starting commits. That method will walk the reachable commits with the STALE bit and clear them all. This makes the algorithm safe for re-entry or for other uses of those commits after this walk. This logic is covered by tests in t6600-test-reach.sh, so the behavior does not change. This is tested both in the case with a commit-graph and without.

commit-reach: stale commits may prune generation further The remove_redundant_with_gen() algorithm performs a depth-first-search to find commits in the 'array' list, starting at the parents of each commit in 'array'. The result is that commits in 'array' are marked STALE when they are reachable from another commit in 'array'. This depth-first-search is fast when commits lie on or near the first-parent history of the higher commits. The search terminates early if all but one commit becomes marked STALE. However, it is possible that there are two independent commits with high generation number. In that case, the depth-first-search might languish by searching in lower generations due to the fixed min_generation used throughout the method. With the expectation that commits with lower generation are expected to become STALE more often, we can optimize further by increasing that min_generation boundary upon discovery of the commit with minimum generation. We must first sort the commits in 'array' by generation. We cannot sort 'array' itself since it must preserve relative order among the returned results (see revision.c:mark_redundant_parents() for an example). This simplifies the initialization of min_generation, but it also allows us to increase the new min_generation when we find the commit with smallest generation remaining. This requires more than two commits in order to test, so I used the Linux kernel repository with a few commits that are slightly off of the first-parent history. I timed the following command: git merge-base --independent 2ecedd756908 d2360a398f0b \ 1253935ad801 160bab43419e 0e2209629fec 1d0e16ac1a9e The first two commits have similar generation and are near the v5.10 tag. Commit 160bab43419e is off of the first-parent history behind v5.5, while the others are scattered somewhere reachable from v5.9. This is designed to demonstrate the optimization, as that commit within v5.5 would normally cause a lot of extra commit walking. Since remove_redundant_with_alg() is called only when at least one of the input commits has a finite generation number, this algorithm is tested with a commit-graph generated starting at a number of different tags, the earliest being v5.5. commit-graph at v5.5: | Method | Time | |-----------------------+-------| | *_no_gen() | 864ms | | *_with_gen() (before) | 858ms | | *_with_gen() (after) | 810ms | commit-graph at v5.7: | Method | Time | |-----------------------+-------| | *_no_gen() | 625ms | | *_with_gen() (before) | 572ms | | *_with_gen() (after) | 517ms | commit-graph at v5.9: | Method | Time | |-----------------------+-------| | *_no_gen() | 268ms | | *_with_gen() (before) | 224ms | | *_with_gen() (after) | 202ms | commit-graph at v5.10: | Method | Time | |-----------------------+-------| | *_no_gen() | 72ms | | *_with_gen() (before) | 37ms | | *_with_gen() (after) | 9ms | Note that these are only modest improvements for the case where the two independent commits are not in the commit-graph (not until v5.10). All algorithms get faster as more commits are indexed, which is not a surprise. However, the cost of walking extra commits is more and more prevalent in relative terms as more commits are indexed. Finally, the last case allows us to jump to the minimum generation between the last two commits (that are actually independent) so we greatly reduce the cost in that case.

commit-reach: use one walk in remove_redundant() The current implementation of remove_redundant() uses several calls to paint_down_to_common() to determine that commits are independent of each other. This leads to quadratic behavior when many inputs are passed to commands such as 'git merge-base'. For example, in the Linux kernel repository, I tested the performance by passing all tags: git merge-base --independent $(git for-each-ref refs/tags --format="$(refname)") (Note: I had to delete the tags v2.6.11-tree and v2.6.11 as they do not point to commits.)

commit-reach: use heuristic in remove_redundant() Reachability algorithms in commit-reach.c frequently benefit from using the first-parent history as a heuristic for satisfying reachability queries. The most obvious example was implemented in 4fbcca4e (commit-reach: make can_all_from_reach... linear, 2018-07-20). Update the walk in remove_redundant() to use this same heuristic. Here, we are walking starting at the parents of the input commits. Sort those parents and walk from the highest generation to lower. Each time, use the heuristic of searching the first parent history before continuing to expand the walk. The order in which we explore the commits matters, so update compare_commits_by_gen to break generation number ties with commit date. This has no effect when the commits are in a commit-graph file with corrected commit dates computed, but it will assist when the commits are in the region "above" the commit-graph with "infinite" generation number. Note that we cannot shift to use compare_commits_by_gen_then_commit_date as the method prototype is different. We use compare_commits_by_gen for QSORT() as opposed to as a priority function. The important piece is to ensure we short-circuit the walk when we find that there is a single non-redundant commit. This happens frequently when looking for merge-bases or comparing several tags with 'git merge-base --independent'. Use a new count 'count_still_independent' and if that hits 1 we can stop walking. To update 'count_still_independent' properly, we add use of the RESULT flag on the input commits. Then we can detect when we reach one of these commits and decrease the count. We need to remove the RESULT flag at that moment because we might re-visit that commit when popping the stack. We use the STALE flag to mark parents that have been added to the new walk_start list, but we need to clear that flag before we start walking so those flags don't halt our depth-first-search walk.

Note that we cannot shift to use compare_commits_by_gen_then_commit_date as the method prototype is different. We use compare_commits_by_gen for QSORT() as opposed to as a priority function. The important piece is to ensure we short-circuit the walk when we find that there is a single non-redundant commit. This happens frequently when looking for merge-bases or comparing several tags with 'git merge-base --independent'. Use a new count 'count_still_independent' and if that hits 1 we can stop walking. To update 'count_still_independent' properly, we add use of the RESULT flag on the input commits. Then we can detect when we reach one of these commits and decrease the count. We need to remove the RESULT flag at that moment because we might re-visit that commit when popping the stack. We use the STALE flag to mark parents that have been added to the new walk_start list, but we need to clear that flag before we start walking so those flags don't halt our depth-first-search walk.

commit-reach: stale commits may prune generation further The remove_redundant_with_gen() algorithm performs a depth-first-search to find commits in the 'array' list, starting at the parents of each commit in 'array'. The result is that commits in 'array' are marked STALE when they are reachable from another commit in 'array'. This depth-first-search is fast when commits lie on or near the first-parent history of the higher commits. The search terminates early if all but one commit becomes marked STALE. However, it is possible that there are two independent commits with high generation number. In that case, the depth-first-search might languish by searching in lower generations due to the fixed min_generation used throughout the method. With the expectation that commits with lower generation are expected to become STALE more often, we can optimize further by increasing that min_generation boundary upon discovery of the commit with minimum generation. We must first sort the commits in 'array' by generation. We cannot sort 'array' itself since it must preserve relative order among the returned results (see revision.c:mark_redundant_parents() for an example). This simplifies the initialization of min_generation, but it also allows us to increase the new min_generation when we find the commit with smallest generation remaining. This requires more than two commits in order to test, so I used the Linux kernel repository with a few commits that are slightly off of the first-parent history. I timed the following command: git merge-base --independent 2ecedd756908 d2360a398f0b \ 1253935ad801 160bab43419e 0e2209629fec 1d0e16ac1a9e The first two commits have similar generation and are near the v5.10 tag. Commit 160bab43419e is off of the first-parent history behind v5.5, while the others are scattered somewhere reachable from v5.9. This is designed to demonstrate the optimization, as that commit within v5.5 would normally cause a lot of extra commit walking. Since remove_redundant_with_alg() is called only when at least one of the input commits has a finite generation number, this algorithm is tested with a commit-graph generated starting at a number of different tags, the earliest being v5.5. commit-graph at v5.5: | Method | Time | |-----------------------+-------| | *_no_gen() | 864ms | | *_with_gen() (before) | 858ms | | *_with_gen() (after) | 810ms | commit-graph at v5.7: | Method | Time | |-----------------------+-------| | *_no_gen() | 625ms | | *_with_gen() (before) | 572ms | | *_with_gen() (after) | 517ms | commit-graph at v5.9: | Method | Time | |-----------------------+-------| | *_no_gen() | 268ms | | *_with_gen() (before) | 224ms | | *_with_gen() (after) | 202ms | commit-graph at v5.10: | Method | Time | |-----------------------+-------| | *_no_gen() | 72ms | | *_with_gen() (before) | 37ms | | *_with_gen() (after) | 9ms | Note that these are only modest improvements for the case where the two independent commits are not in the commit-graph (not until v5.10). All algorithms get faster as more commits are indexed, which is not a surprise. However, the cost of walking extra commits is more and more prevalent in relative terms as more commits are indexed. Finally, the last case allows us to jump to the minimum generation between the last two commits (that are actually independent) so we greatly reduce the cost in that case.

commit-reach: use one walk in remove_redundant() The current implementation of remove_redundant() uses several calls to paint_down_to_common() to determine that commits are independent of each other. This leads to quadratic behavior when many inputs are passed to commands such as 'git merge-base'. For example, in the Linux kernel repository, I tested the performance by passing all tags: git merge-base --independent $(git for-each-ref refs/tags --format="$(refname)") (Note: I had to delete the tags v2.6.11-tree and v2.6.11 as they do not point to commits.) Here is the performance improvement introduced by this change: Before: 16.4s After: 1.1s This performance improvement requires the commit-graph file to be present. We keep the old algorithm around as remove_redundant_no_gen() and use it when generation_numbers_enabled() is false. This is similar to other algorithms within commit-reach.c. The new algorithm is implemented in remove_redundant_with_gen(). The basic approach is to do one commit walk instead of many. First, scan all commits in the list and mark their _parents_ with the STALE flag. This flag will indicate commits that are reachable from one of the inputs, except not including themselves. Then, walk commits until covering all commits up to the minimum generation number pushing the STALE flag throughout. At the end, we need to clear the STALE bit from all of the commits we walked. We move the non-stale commits in 'array' to the beginning of the list, and this might overwrite stale commits. However, we store an array of commits that started the walk, and use clear_commit_marks() on each of those starting commits. That method will walk the reachable commits with the STALE bit and clear them all. This makes the algorithm safe for re-entry or for other uses of those commits after this walk. This logic is covered by tests in t6600-test-reach.sh, so the behavior does not change. This is tested both in the case with a commit-graph and without.

commit-reach: use heuristic in remove_redundant() Reachability algorithms in commit-reach.c frequently benefit from using the first-parent history as a heuristic for satisfying reachability queries.

Each time, use the heuristic of searching the first parent history before continuing to expand the walk.

libs: use "struct repository *" argument, not "the_repository" As can easily be seen from grepping in our sources, we had these uses of "the_repository" in various library code in cases where the function in question was already getting a "struct repository *" argument. Let's use that argument instead. Out of these changes only the changes to "cache-tree.c", "commit-reach.c", "shallow.c" and "upload-pack.c" would have cleanly applied before the migration away from the "repo_*()" wrapper macros in the preceding commits. The rest aren't new, as we'd previously implicitly refer to "the_repository", but it's now more obvious that we were doing the wrong thing all along, and should have used the parameter instead. The change to change "get_index_format_default(the_repository)" in "read-cache.c" to use the "r" variable instead should arguably have been part of [1], or in the subsequent cleanup in [2]. Let's do it here, as can be seen from the initial code in [3] it's not important that we use "the_repository" there, but would prefer to always use the current repository. This change excludes the "the_repository" use in "upload-pack.c"'s upload_pack_advertise(), as the in-flight [4] makes that change. 1. ee1f0c242ef (read-cache: add index.skipHash config option, 2023-01-06) 2. 6269f8eaad0 (treewide: always have a valid "index_state.repo" member, 2023-01-17) 3. 7211b9e7534 (repo-settings: consolidate some config settings, 2019-08-13) 4. <Y/hbUsGPVNAxTdmS@coredump.intra.peff.net> Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

commit-reach: use can_all_from_reach The is_descendant_of method previously used in_merge_bases() to check if the commit can reach any of the commits in the provided list. This had two performance problems: 1. The performance is quadratic in worst-case. 2. A single in_merge_bases() call requires walking beyond the target commit in order to find the full set of boundary commits that may be merge-bases. The can_all_from_reach method avoids this quadratic behavior and can limit the search beyond the target commits using generation numbers. It requires a small prototype adjustment to stop using commit-date as a cutoff, as that optimization is no longer appropriate here. Since in_merge_bases() uses paint_down_to_common(), is_descendant_of() naturally found cutoffs to avoid walking the entire commit graph. Since we want to always return the correct result, we cannot use the min_commit_date cutoff in can_all_from_reach. We then rely on generation numbers to provide the cutoff. Since not all repos will have a commit-graph file, nor will we always have generation numbers computed for a commit-graph file, create a new method, generation_numbers_enabled(), that checks for a commit-graph file and sees if the first commit in the file has a non-zero generation number. In the case that we do not have generation numbers, use the old logic for is_descendant_of(). Performance was meausured on a copy of the Linux repository using the 'test-tool reach is_descendant_of' command using this input: A:v4.9 X:v4.10 X:v4.11 X:v4.12 X:v4.13 X:v4.14 X:v4.15 X:v4.16 X:v4.17 X.v3.0 Note that this input is tailored to demonstrate the quadratic nature of the previous method, as it will compute merge-bases for v4.9 versus all of the later versions before checking against v4.1. Before: 0.26 s After: 0.21 s Since we previously used the is_descendant_of method in the ref_newer method, we also measured performance there using 'test-tool reach ref_newer' with this input: A:v4.9 B:v3.19 Before: 0.10 s After: 0.08 s By adding a new commit with parent v3.19, we test the non-reachable case of ref_newer: Before: 0.09 s After: 0.08 s Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

commit-reach: use fast logic in repo_in_merge_base The repo_is_descendant_of() method is aware of the existence of the commit-graph file. It checks for generation_numbers_enabled() before deciding on using can_all_from_reach() or repo_in_merge_bases() depending on the situation. The reason here is that can_all_from_reach() uses a depth-first search that is limited by the minimum generation number of the target commits, and that algorithm can be very slow when generation numbers are not present. The alternative uses paint_down_to_common() which will walk the entire merge-base boundary, which is typically slower. This method is used by commands like "git tag --contains" and "git branch --contains" for very fast results when a commit-graph file exists. Unfortunately, it is _not_ used in commands like "git merge-base --is-ancestor" which is doing an even simpler request. This issue was raised recently [1] with respect to a change to how generation numbers are stored, but was also reported much earlier [2] before commit-reach.c existed to simplify these reachability queries. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/20200607195347.GA8232@szeder.dev/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/git/87608bawoa.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ The root cause is that builtin/merge-base.c has a method handle_is_ancestor() that calls in_merge_bases(), an older version of repo_in_merge_bases(). It would be better if we have every caller to in_merge_bases() use the logic in can_all_from_reach() when possible. This is where things get a little tricky: repo_is_descendant_of() calls repo_in_merge_bases() in the non-generation numbers enabled case! If we simply update repo_in_merge_bases() to call repo_is_descendant_of() instead of repo_in_merge_bases_many(), then we will get a recursive call loop. Thankfully, this is caught by the test suite in the default mode (i.e. GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH=0). The trick, then, is to make the non-generation number case for repo_is_descendant_of() call repo_in_merge_bases_many() directly, skipping the non-_many version. This allows us to take advantage of this faster code path, when possible. The easiest way to measure the performance impact is to test the following command on the Linux kernel repository: git merge-base --is-ancestor <A> <B> | A | B | Time Before | Time After | |------|------|-------------|------------| | v3.0 | v5.7 | 0.459s | 0.028s | | v4.0 | v5.7 | 0.267s | 0.021s | | v5.0 | v5.7 | 0.074s | 0.013s | Note that each of these samples return success. The old code performed the same operation when <A> and <B> are swapped. However, can_all_from_reach() will return immediately if the generation numbers show that <A> has larger generation number than <B>. Thus, the time for the swapped case is universally 0.004s in each case.

commit-reach: fix in_merge_bases_many bug Way back in f9b8908b (commit.c: use generation numbers for in_merge_bases(), 2018-05-01), a heuristic was used to short-circuit the in_merge_bases() walk. This works just fine as long as the caller is checking only two commits, but when there are multiple, there is a possibility that this heuristic is _very wrong_. Some code moves since then has changed this method to repo_in_merge_bases_many() inside commit-reach.c. The heuristic computes the minimum generation number of the "reference" list, then compares this number to the generation number of the "commit". In a recent topic, a test was added that used in_merge_bases_many() to test if a commit was reachable from a number of commits pulled from a reflog. However, this highlighted the problem: if any of the reference commits have a smaller generation number than the given commit, then the walk is skipped _even if there exist some with higher generation number_. This heuristic is wrong! It must check the MAXIMUM generation number of the reference commits, not the MINIMUM. This highlights a testing gap. t6600-test-reach.sh covers many methods in commit-reach.c, including in_merge_bases() and get_merge_bases_many(), but since these methods either restrict to two input commits or actually look for the full list of merge bases, they don't check this heuristic! Add a possible input to "test-tool reach" that tests in_merge_bases_many() and add tests to t6600-test-reach.sh that cover this heuristic. This includes cases for the reference commits having generation above and below the generation of the input commit, but also having maximum generation below the generation of the input commit. The fix itself is to swap min_generation with a max_generation in repo_in_merge_bases_many().

commit-reach: make can_all_from_reach... linear The can_all_from_reach_with_flags() algorithm is currently quadratic in the worst case, because it calls the reachable() method for every 'from' without tracking which commits have already been walked or which can already reach a commit in 'to'. Rewrite the algorithm to walk each commit a constant number of times. We also add some optimizations that should work for the main consumer of this method: fetch negotitation (haves/wants). The first step includes using a depth-first-search (DFS) from each 'from' commit, sorted by ascending generation number. We do not walk beyond the minimum generation number or the minimum commit date. This DFS is likely to be faster than the existing reachable() method because we expect previous ref values to be along the first-parent history. If we find a target commit, then we mark everything in the DFS stack as a RESULT. This expands the set of targets for the other 'from' commits. We also mark the visited commits using 'assign_flag' to prevent re- walking the same commits. We still need to clear our flags at the end, which is why we will have a total of three visits to each commit. Performance was measured on the Linux repository using 'test-tool reach can_all_from_reach'. The input included rows seeded by tag values. The "small" case included X-rows as v4.[0-9]* and Y-rows as v3.[0-9]*. This mimics a (very large) fetch that says "I have all major v3 releases and want all major v4 releases." The "large" case included X-rows as "v4.*" and Y-rows as "v3.*". This adds all release-candidate tags to the set, which does not greatly increase the number of objects that are considered, but does increase the number of 'from' commits, demonstrating the quadratic nature of the previous code. Small Case: Before: 1.52 s After: 0.26 s Large Case: Before: 3.50 s After: 0.27 s Note how the time increases between the two cases in the two versions. The new code increases relative to the number of commits that need to be walked, but not directly relative to the number of 'from' commits.

commit-reach: fix first-parent heuristic The algorithm in can_all_from_reach_with_flags() performs a depth- first-search, terminated by generation number, intending to use a hueristic that "important" commits are found in the first-parent history. This heuristic is valuable in scenarios like fetch negotiation. However, there is a problem! After the search finds a target commit, it should pop all commits off the stack and mark them as "can reach". This logic is incorrect, so the algorithm instead walks all reachable commits above the generation-number cutoff. The existing algorithm is still an improvement over the previous algorithm, as the worst-case complexity went from quadratic to linear. The performance measurement at the time was good, but not dramatic. By fixing this heuristic, we reduce the number of walked commits.

commit-reach: implement ahead_behind() logic Fully implement the commit-counting logic required to determine ahead/behind counts for a batch of commit pairs. This is a new library method within commit-reach.h. This method will be linked to the for-each-ref builtin in the next change. The interface for ahead_behind() uses two arrays. The first array of commits contains the list of all starting points for the walk. This includes all tip commits _and_ base commits. The second array specifies base/tip pairs by pointing to commits within the first array, by index. The second array also stores the resulting ahead/behind counts for each of these pairs. This implementation of ahead_behind() allows multiple bases, if desired. Even with multiple bases, there is only one commit walk used for counting the ahead/behind values, saving time when the base/tip ranges overlap significantly. This interface for ahead_behind() also makes it very easy to call ensure_generations_valid() on the entire array of bases and tips. This call is necessary because it is critical that the walk that counts ahead/behind values never walks a commit more than once. Without generation numbers on every commit, there is a possibility that a commit date skew could cause the walk to revisit a commit and then double-count it. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that 'git ahead-behind' is only run in a repository with a commit-graph file that covers most of the reachable commits, storing precomputed generation numbers. If no commit-graph exists, this walk will be much slower as it must walk all reachable commits in ensure_generations_valid() before performing the counting logic. It is possible to detect if generation numbers are available at run time and redirect the implementation to another algorithm that does not require this property. However, that implementation requires a commit walk per base/tip pair _and_ can be slower due to the commit date heuristics required. Such an implementation could be considered in the future if there is a reason to include it, but most Git hosts should already be generating a commit-graph file as part of repository maintenance. Most Git clients should also be generating commit-graph files as part of background maintenance or automatic GCs. Now, let's discuss the ahead/behind counting algorithm. The first array of commits are considered the starting commits. The index within that array will play a critical role. We create a new commit slab that maps commits to a bitmap. For a given commit (anywhere in the history), its bitmap stores information relative to which of the input commits can reach that commit. The ith bit will be on if the ith commit from the starting list can reach that commit. It is important to notice that these bitmaps are not the typical "reachability bitmaps" that are stored in .bitmap files. Instead of signalling which objects are reachable from the current commit, they instead signal "which starting commits can reach me?" It is also important to know that the bitmap is not necessarily "complete" until we walk that commit. We will perform a commit walk by generation number in such a way that we can guarantee the bitmap is correct when we visit that commit. At the beginning of the ahead_behind() method, we initialize the bitmaps for each of the starting commits. By enabling the ith bit for the ith starting commit, we signal "the ith commit can reach itself." We walk commits by popping the commit with maximum generation number out of the queue, guaranteeing that we will never walk a child of that commit in any future steps. As we walk, we load the bitmap for the current commit and perform two main steps. The _second_ step examines each parent of the current commit and adds the current commit's bitmap bits to each parent's bitmap. (We create a new bitmap for the parent if this is our first time seeing that parent.) After adding the bits to the parent's bitmap, the parent is added to the walk queue. Due to this passing of bits to parents, the current commit has a guarantee that the ith bit is enabled on its bitmap if and only if the ith commit can reach the current commit. The first step of the walk is to examine the bitmask on the current commit and decide which ranges the commit is in or not. Due to the "bit pushing" in the second step, we have a guarantee that the ith bit of the current commit's bitmap is on if and only if the ith starting commit can reach it. For each ahead_behind_count struct, check the base_index and tip_index to see if those bits are enabled on the current bitmap. If exactly one bit is enabled, then increment the corresponding 'ahead' or 'behind' count. This increment is the reason we _absolutely need_ to walk commits at most once. The only subtle thing to do with this walk is to check to see if a parent has all bits on in its bitmap, in which case it becomes "stale" and is marked with the STALE bit. This allows queue_has_nonstale() to be the terminating condition of the walk, which greatly reduces the number of commits walked if all of the commits are nearby in history. It avoids walking a large number of common commits when there is a deep history. We also use the helper method insert_no_dup() to add commits to the priority queue without adding them multiple times. This uses the PARENT2 flag. Thus, we must clear both the STALE and PARENT2 bits of all commits, in case ahead_behind() is called multiple times in the same process.

commit-reach: add tips_reachable_from_bases() Both 'git for-each-ref --merged=<X>' and 'git branch --merged=<X>' use the ref-filter machinery to select references or branches (respectively) that are reachable from a set of commits presented by one or more --merged arguments. This happens within reach_filter(), which uses the revision-walk machinery to walk history in a standard way. However, the commit-reach.c file is full of custom searches that are more efficient, especially for reachability queries that can terminate early when reachability is discovered. Add a new tips_reachable_from_bases() method to commit-reach.c and call it from within reach_filter() in ref-filter.c. This affects both 'git branch' and 'git for-each-ref' as tested in p1500-graph-walks.sh. For the Linux kernel repository, we take an already-fast algorithm and make it even faster: Test HEAD~1 HEAD ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1500.5: contains: git for-each-ref --merged 0.13 0.02 -84.6% 1500.6: contains: git branch --merged 0.14 0.02 -85.7% 1500.7: contains: git tag --merged 0.15 0.03 -80.0% (Note that we remove the iterative 'git rev-list' test from p1500 because it no longer makes sense as a comparison to 'git for-each-ref' and would just waste time running it for these comparisons.) The algorithm is implemented in commit-reach.c in the method tips_reachable_from_base(). This method takes a string_list of tips and assigns the 'util' for each item with the value 1 if the base commit can reach those tips. Like other reachability queries in commit-reach.c, the fastest way to search for "can A reach B?" is to do a depth-first search up to the generation number of B, preferring to explore first parents before later parents. While we must walk all reachable commits up to that generation number when the answer is "no", the depth-first search can answer "yes" much faster than other approaches in most cases. This search becomes trickier when there are multiple targets for the depth-first search. The commits with lower generation number are more likely to be within the history of the start commit, but we don't want to waste time searching commits of low generation number if the commit target with lowest generation number has already been found. The trick here is to take the input commits and sort them by generation number in ascending order. Track the index within this order as min_generation_index. When we find a commit, if its index in the list is equal to min_generation_index, then we can increase the generation number boundary of our search to the next-lowest value in the list. With this mechanism, the number of commits to search is minimized with respect to the depth-first search heuristic. We will walk all commits up to the minimum generation number of a commit that is _not_ reachable from the start, but we will walk only the necessary portion of the depth-first search for the reachable commits of lower generation. Add extra tests for this behavior in t6600-test-reach.sh as the interesting data shape of that repository can sometimes demonstrate corner case bugs.
