8072766cc6 xdiff: import new 32-bit version of count_masked_bytes()
Import the latest 32-bit implementation of count_masked_bytes() from
Linux (arch/x86/include/asm/word-at-a-time.h).  It's shorter and avoids
overflows and negative numbers.

This fixes test failures on 32-bit, where negative partial results had
been shifted right using the "wrong" method (logical shift right instead
of arithmetic short right).  The compiler is free to chose the method,
so it was only wrong in the sense that it didn't work as intended by us.

7e356a9794 xdiff: avoid more compiler warnings with XDL_FAST_HASH on 32-bit machines
Hide literals that can cause compiler warnings for 32-bit architectures in
expressions that evaluate to small numbers there.  Some compilers warn that
0x0001020304050608 won't fit into a 32-bit long, others that shifting right
by 56 bits clears a 32-bit value completely.

The correct values are calculated in the 64-bit case, which is all that matters
in this if-branch.

be89977543 xdiff: remove unused functions
The functions xdl_cha_first(), xdl_cha_next() and xdl_atol() are not used
by us.  While removing them increases the difference to the upstream
version of libxdiff, it only adds a bit to the more than 600 differing
lines in xutils.c (mmfile_t management was simplified significantly when
the library was imported initially).  Besides, if upstream modifies these
functions in the future, we won't need to think about importing those
changes, so in that sense it makes tracking modifications easier.

6f1af028ce xdiff: choose XDL_FAST_HASH code on sizeof(long) instead of __WORDSIZE
Darwin does not define __WORDSIZE, and compiles the 32-bit code path
on 64-bit systems, resulting in a totally broken git.

I could not find an alternative -- other than the platform symbols
(__x86_64__ etc.) -- that does the test in the preprocessor.  However,
we can also just test for the size of a 'long', which is what really
matters here.  Any compiler worth its salt will leave only the branch
relevant for its platform, and indeed on Linux/GCC the numbers don't
change:

6942efcfa9 xdiff: load full words in the inner loop of xdl_hash_record
Redo the hashing loop in xdl_hash_record in a way that loads an entire
'long' at a time, using masking tricks to see when and where we found
the terminating '\n'.

I stole inspiration and code from the posts by Linus Torvalds around

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/2/452
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/5/6

His method reads the buffers in sizeof(long) increments, and may thus
overrun it by at most sizeof(long)-1 bytes before it sees the final
newline (or hits the buffer length check).  I considered padding out
all buffers by a suitable amount to "catch" the overrun, but

* this does not work for mmap()'d buffers: if you map 4096+8 bytes
  from a 4096 byte file, accessing the last 8 bytes results in a
  SIGBUS on my machine; and

* it would also be extremely ugly because it intrudes deep into the
  unpacking machinery.

So I adapted it to not read beyond the buffer at all.  Instead, it
reads the final partial word byte-by-byte and strings it together.
Then it can use the same logic as before to finish the hashing.

So far we enable this only on x86_64, where it provides nice speedup
for diff-related work:

  Test                                  origin/next      tr/xdiff-fast-hash

  4000.5: log -p -3000 --patience       2.11(2.00+0.10)  1.94(1.80+0.11) -8.1%

Perhaps other platforms could also benefit.  However it does NOT work
on big-endian systems!

307ab20b33 xdiff: PATIENCE/HISTOGRAM are not independent option bits
Because the default Myers, patience and histogram algorithms cannot be in
effect at the same time, XDL_PATIENCE_DIFF and XDL_HISTOGRAM_DIFF are not
independent bits.  Instead of wasting one bit per algorithm, define a few
macros to access the few bits they occupy and update the code that access
them.

baf5aaa333 xdiff: print post-image for common records instead of pre-image
Normally it doesn't matter if we show the pre-image or th post-image
for the common parts of a diff because they are the same.  If
white-space changes are ignored they can differ, though.  The
new text after applying the diff is more interesting in that case,
so show that instead of the old contents.

Note: GNU diff shows the pre-image.

14937c2c06 diff: add option to show whole functions as context
Add the option -W/--function-context to git diff.  It is similar to
the same option of git grep and expands the context of change hunks
so that the whole surrounding function is shown.  This "natural"
context can allow changes to be understood better.

Note: GNU patch doesn't like diffs generated with the new option;
it seems to expect context lines to be the same before and after
changes.  git apply doesn't complain.

This implementation has the same shortcoming as the one in grep,
namely that there is no way to explicitly find the end of a
function.  That means that a few lines of extra context are shown,
right up to the next recognized function begins.  It's already
useful in its current form, though.

The function get_func_line() in xdiff/xemit.c is extended to work
forward as well as backward to find post-context as well as
pre-context.  It returns the position of the first found matching
line.  The func_line parameter is made optional, as we don't need
it for -W.

The enhanced function is then used in xdl_emit_diff() to extend
the context as needed.  If the added context overlaps with the
next change, it is merged into the current hunk.

c5aa90682f Revert removal of multi-match discard heuristic in 27af01
27af01d (xdiff/xprepare: improve O(n*m) performance in

Revert a part of 27af01d that removes logic that mark lines as
"multi-match" (ie. dis[i] == 2). This was preventing the multi-match
discard heuristic (performed in xdl_cleanup_records() and
xdl_clean_mmatch()) from executing.

86abba8015 xdiff/xprepare: use a smaller sample size for histogram diff
For histogram diff, we can afford a smaller sample size and thus a
poorer estimate of the number of lines, as the hash table (rhash) won't
be filled up/grown. This is safe as the final count of lines (xdf.nrecs)
will be updated correctly anyway by xdl_prepare_ctx().

This gives us a small boost in performance.

9f37c27593 xdiff/xprepare: skip classification
xdiff performs "classification" of records (xdl_classify_record()),
replacing hashes (xrecord_t.ha) with a unique identifier of the
record/line and building a hash table (xrecord_t.rhash) of records. This
is then used to "cleanup" records (xdl_cleanup_records()).

We don't need any of that in histogram diff, so we omit calls to these
functions. We also skip allocating memory to the hash table, rhash, as
it is no longer used.

This gives us a small boost in performance.

349362cc20 xdiff: cast arguments for ctype functions to unsigned char
The ctype functions isspace(), isalnum(), et al take an integer
argument representing an unsigned character, or -1 for EOF.  On
platforms with a signed char, it is unsafe to pass a char to them
without casting it to unsigned char first.

Most of git is already shielded against this by the ctype
implementation in git-compat-util.h, but xdiff, which uses libc
ctype.h, ought to be fixed.

c099789bb0 diff: avoid repeated scanning while looking for funcname
For each hunk, xdl_find_func searches the preimage for a function name
until the beginning of the file. If the file does not contain any
function names, this search has complexity O(n^2) in the number of
hunks n.

Instead, inline xdl_find_func() and keep track of up to which line we
have scanned already and the contents of the last funcname line that
we have found.

Noticed and a different approach proposed by Clemens Buchacher.
This alternative solution was done by René Scharfe.

In xdl_recmatch, do the memcmp to check if the two lines are equal before
checking if whitespace flags are set.  If the lines are identical, then
there is no need to check if they differ only in whitespace.
This makes the common case (there is no whitespace difference) faster.
It costs the case where lines are the same length and contain

optional arguments for the xdiff merge routine; if they are NULL, then
xdl_merge() can cope by omitting the labels from its output.  Move
them to the xmparam structure to allow new callers to save some
keystrokes where they are not needed.

This also has the virtue of making the xdiff merge interface more
similar to merge_trees, which might make it easier to learn.

8a161433a0 xdl_merge(): add optional ancestor label to diff3-style output
The ‘git checkout --conflict=diff3’ command can be used to
present conflicts hunks including text from the common ancestor:

	<<<<<<< ours
	ourside
	|||||||
	original
	=======
	theirside
	>>>>>>> theirs

The added information is helpful for resolving merges by hand, and
merge tools can usually grok it because it is very similar to the
output from diff3 -m.

A subtle change can help more tools to understand the output.  ‘diff3’
includes the name of the merge base on the ||||||| line of the output,
and some tools misparse the conflict hunks without it.  Add a new
xmp->ancestor parameter to xdl_merge() for use with conflict style
XDL_MERGE_DIFF3 as a label on the ||||||| line for any conflict hunks.

If xmp->ancestor is NULL, the output format is unchanged.  Thus, this
change only provides unexposed plumbing for the new feature; it does
not affect the outward behavior of git.

Include the merge level, favor, and style flags into the xmparam_t struct.
This removes the bit twiddling with these three values into the one flags

cd1d61c44f make union merge an xdl merge favor
The current union merge driver is implemented as an post process.  But the
xdl_merge code is quite capable to produce the result by itself.  Therefore
move it there.

73eb40eeaa git-merge-file --ours, --theirs
Sometimes people want their conflicting merges autoresolved by
favouring upstream changes.  The standard answer they are given is
to run "git diff --name-only | xargs git checkout MERGE_HEAD --" in
such a case.  This is to accept automerge results for the paths that
are fully resolved automatically, while taking their version of the
file in full for paths that have conflicts.

This is problematic on two counts.

One is that this is not exactly what these people want.  It discards
all changes they did on their branch for any paths that conflicted.
They usually want to salvage as much automerge result as possible in
a conflicted file, and want to take the upstream change only in the
conflicted part.

This patch teaches two new modes of operation to the lowest-lever
merge machinery, xdl_merge().  Instead of leaving the conflicted
lines from both sides enclosed in <<<, ===, and >>> markers, the
conflicts are resolved favouring our side or their side of changes.

A larger problem is that this tends to encourage a bad workflow by
allowing people to record such a mixed up half-merged result as a
full commit without auditing.  This commit does not tackle this
issue at all.  In git, we usually give long enough rope to users
with strange wishes as long as the risky features are not enabled by
default, and this is such a risky feature.

3b5ef0e216 xutils: Fix xdl_recmatch() on incomplete lines
Thell Fowler noticed that various "ignore whitespace" options to git diff
do not work well on an incomplete line.

The loop control of the function responsible for these bugs was extremely
difficult to follow.  This patch restructures the loops for three variants
of "ignore whitespace" logic.

The basic idea of the re-written logic is:

 - A loop runs while the characters from both strings we are looking at
   match.  We declare unmatch immediately when we find something that does
   not match and return false from the function.  We break out of the loop
   if we ran out of either side of the string.

   The way we skip spaces inside this loop varies depending on the style
   of ignoring whitespaces.

 - After the above loop breaks, we know that the parts of the strings we
   inspected so far match, ignoring the whitespaces.  The lines can match
   only if the remainder consists of nothing but whitespaces.  This part
   of the logic is shared across all three styles.

The new code is more obvious and should be much easier to follow.

78ed710fcf xutils: Fix hashing an incomplete line with whitespaces at the end
Upon seeing a whitespace, xdl_hash_record_with_whitespace() first skipped
the run of whitespaces (excluding LF) that begins there, ensuring that the
pointer points at the last whitespace character in the run, and assumed
that the next character must be LF at the end of the line.  This does not
work when hashing an incomplete line, which lacks the LF at the end.

Introduce "at_eol" variable that is true when either we are at the end of
line (looking at LF) or at the end of an incomplete line, and use that
instead throughout the code.

Noticed by Thell Fowler.
