6da1a25814 hashmap: provide deallocation function names
hashmap_free(), hashmap_free_entries(), and hashmap_free_() have existed
for a while, but aren't necessarily the clearest names, especially with
hashmap_partial_clear() being added to the mix and lazy-initialization
now being supported.  Peff suggested we adopt the following names[1]:

  - hashmap_clear() - remove all entries and de-allocate any
    hashmap-specific data, but be ready for reuse

  - hashmap_clear_and_free() - ditto, but free the entries themselves

  - hashmap_partial_clear() - remove all entries but don't deallocate
    table

  - hashmap_partial_clear_and_free() - ditto, but free the entries

This patch provides the new names and converts all existing callers over
to the new naming scheme.

33f20d8217 hashmap: introduce a new hashmap_partial_clear()
merge-ort is a heavy user of strmaps, which are built on hashmap.[ch].
clear_or_reinit_internal_opts() in merge-ort was taking about 12% of
overall runtime in my testcase involving rebasing 35 patches of
linux.git across a big rename.  clear_or_reinit_internal_opts() was
calling hashmap_free() followed by hashmap_init(), meaning that not only
was it freeing all the memory associated with each of the strmaps just
to immediately allocate a new array again, it was allocating a new array
that was likely smaller than needed (thus resulting in later need to
rehash things).  The ending size of the map table on the previous commit
was likely almost perfectly sized for the next commit we wanted to pick,
and not dropping and reallocating the table immediately is a win.

Add some new API to hashmap to clear a hashmap of entries without
freeing map->table (and instead only zeroing it out like alloc_table()
would do, along with zeroing the count of items in the table and the
shrink_at field).

b7879b0ba6 hashmap: allow re-use after hashmap_free()
Previously, once map->table had been freed, any calls to hashmap_put(),
hashmap_get(), or hashmap_remove() would cause a NULL pointer
dereference (since hashmap_free_() also zeros the memory; without that
zeroing, calling these functions would cause a use-after-free problem).

Modify these functions to check for a NULL table and automatically
allocate as needed.

Also add a HASHMAP_INIT(fn, data) macro for initializing hashmaps on the
stack without calling hashmap_init().

6474b86939 hashmap: add usage documentation explaining hashmap_free[_entries]()
The existence of hashmap_free() and hashmap_free_entries() confused me,
and the docs weren't clear enough.  We are dealing with a map table,
entries in that table, and possibly also things each of those entries
point to.  I had to consult other source code examples and the
implementation.  Add a brief note to clarify the differences.  This will
become even more important once we introduce a new
hashmap_partial_clear() function which will add the question of whether
the table itself has been freed.

0ad621f61e hashmap_for_each_entry(): workaround MSVC's runtime check failure #3
The OFFSETOF_VAR(var, member) macro is implemented in terms of
offsetof(typeof(*var), member) with compilers that know typeof(),
but its fallback implemenation compares &(var->member) and (var) and
count the distance in bytes, i.e.

    ((uintptr_t)&(var)->member - (uintptr_t)(var))

MSVC's runtime check, when fed an uninitialized 'var', flags this as
a use of an uninitialized variable (and that is legit---uninitialized
contents of 'var' is subtracted) in a debug build.

After auditing all 6 uses of OFFSETOF_VAR(), 1 of them does feed a
potentially uninitialized 'var' to the macro in the beginning of the
for() loop:

    #define hashmap_for_each_entry(map, iter, var, member) \
            for (var = hashmap_iter_first_entry_offset(map, iter, \
                                                    OFFSETOF_VAR(var, member)); \
                    var; \
                    var = hashmap_iter_next_entry_offset(iter, \
                                                    OFFSETOF_VAR(var, member)))

We can work around this by making sure that var has _some_ value
when OFFSETOF_VAR() is called.  Strictly speaking, it invites
undefined behaviour to use NULL here if we end up with pointer
comparison, but MSVC runtime seems to be happy with it, and most
other systems have typeof() and don't even need pointer comparison
fallback code.

404ab78e39 hashmap: remove type arg from hashmap_{get,put,remove}_entry
Since these macros already take a `keyvar' pointer of a known type,
we can rely on OFFSETOF_VAR to get the correct offset without
relying on non-portable `__typeof__' and `offsetof'.

Argument order is also rearranged, so `keyvar' and `member' are
sequential as they are used as: `keyvar->member'

23dee69f53 OFFSETOF_VAR macro to simplify hashmap iterators
While we cannot rely on a `__typeof__' operator being portable
to use with `offsetof'; we can calculate the pointer offset
using an existing pointer and the address of a member using
pointer arithmetic for compilers without `__typeof__'.

This allows us to simplify usage of hashmap iterator macros
by not having to specify a type when a pointer of that type
is already given.

In the future, list iterator macros (e.g. list_for_each_entry)
may also be implemented using OFFSETOF_VAR to save hackers the
trouble of using container_of/list_entry macros and without
relying on non-portable `__typeof__'.

554544276a *.[ch]: remove extern from function declarations using spatch
There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations.
Remove some instances of "extern" for function declarations which are
caught by Coccinelle. Note that Coccinelle has some difficulty with
processing functions with `__attribute__` or varargs so some `extern`
declarations are left behind to be dealt with in a future patch.

This was the Coccinelle patch used:

	@@
	type T;
	identifier f;
	@@
	- extern
	  T f(...);

and it was run with:

	$ git ls-files \*.{c,h} |
		grep -v ^compat/ |
		xargs spatch --sp-file contrib/coccinelle/noextern.cocci --in-place

Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly
copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much
as possible.

8b604d1951 hashmap: add API to disable item counting when threaded
This is to address concerns raised by ThreadSanitizer on the mailing list
about threaded unprotected R/W access to map.size with my previous "disallow
rehash" change (0607e10009).

See:
https://public-inbox.org/git/adb37b70139fd1e2bac18bfd22c8b96683ae18eb.1502780344.git.martin.agren@gmail.com/

Add API to hashmap to disable item counting and thus automatic rehashing.
Also include API to later re-enable them.

When item counting is disabled, the map.size field is invalid.  So to
prevent accidents, the field has been renamed and an accessor function
hashmap_get_size() has been added.  All direct references to this
field have been been updated.  And the name of the field changed
to map.private_size to communicate this.

Here is the relevant output from ThreadSanitizer showing the problem:

7663cdc86c hashmap.h: compare function has access to a data field
When using the hashmap a common need is to have access to caller provided
data in the compare function. A couple of times we abuse the keydata field
to pass in the data needed. This happens for example in patch-ids.c.

This patch changes the function signature of the compare function
to have one more void pointer available. The pointer given for each
invocation of the compare function must be defined in the init function
of the hashmap and is just passed through.

Documentation of this new feature is deferred to a later patch.
This is a rather mechanical conversion, just adding the new pass-through
parameter.  However while at it improve the naming of the fields of all
compare functions used by hashmaps by ensuring unused parameters are
prefixed with 'unused_' and naming the parameters what they are (instead
of 'unused' make it 'unused_keydata').

ab73a9d119 hashmap: add simplified hashmap_get_from_hash() API
Hashmap entries are typically looked up by just a key. The hashmap_get()
API expects an initialized entry structure instead, to support compound
keys. This flexibility is currently only needed by find_dir_entry() in
name-hash.c (and compat/win32/fscache.c in the msysgit fork). All other
(currently five) call sites of hashmap_get() have to set up a near emtpy
entry structure, resulting in duplicate code like this:

  struct hashmap_entry keyentry;
  hashmap_entry_init(&keyentry, hash(key));
  return hashmap_get(map, &keyentry, key);

Add a hashmap_get_from_hash() API that allows hashmap lookups by just
specifying the key and its hash code, i.e.:

  return hashmap_get_from_hash(map, hash(key), key);

039dc71a7c hashmap: factor out getting a hash code from a SHA1
Copying the first bytes of a SHA1 is duplicated in six places,
however, the implications (the actual value would depend on the
endianness of the platform) is documented only once.

Add a properly documented API for this.

6a364ced49 add a hashtable implementation that supports O(1) removal
The existing hashtable implementation (in hash.[ch]) uses open addressing
(i.e. resolve hash collisions by distributing entries across the table).
Thus, removal is difficult to implement with less than O(n) complexity.
Resolving collisions of entries with identical hashes (e.g. via chaining)
is left to the client code.

Add a hashtable implementation that supports O(1) removal and is slightly
easier to use due to builtin entry chaining.

Supports all basic operations init, free, get, add, remove and iteration.

Also includes ready-to-use hash functions based on the public domain FNV-1
algorithm (http://www.isthe.com/chongo/tech/comp/fnv).

The per-entry data structure (hashmap_entry) is piggybacked in front of
the client's data structure to save memory. See test-hashmap.c for usage
examples.

The hashtable is resized by a factor of four when 80% full. With these
settings, average memory consumption is about 2/3 of hash.[ch], and
insertion is about twice as fast due to less frequent resizing.

Lookups are also slightly faster, because entries are strictly confined to
their bucket (i.e. no data of other buckets needs to be traversed).
