For now, we assume that there is a fixed constant describing the
maximum number of changed paths we are willing to store in a Bloom
filter.
Prepare for that to (at least partially) not be the case by making it a
member of the 'struct bloom_filter_settings'. This will be helpful in
the subsequent patches by reducing the size of test cases that exercise
storing too many changed paths, as well as preparing for an eventual
future in which this value might change.
This patch alone does not cause newly generated Bloom filters to use
a custom upper-bound on the maximum number of changed paths a single
Bloom filter can hold, that will occur in a later patch.

Git uses the 'core.commitGraph' configuration value to control whether
or not the commit graph is used when parsing commits or performing a
traversal.
Now that commit-graphs can also contain a section for changed-path Bloom
filters, administrators that already have commit-graphs may find it
convenient to use those graphs without relying on their changed-path
Bloom filters. This can happen, for example, during a staged roll-out,
or in the event of an incident.
Introduce 'commitGraph.readChangedPaths' to control whether or not Bloom
filters are read. Note that this configuration is independent from both:
- 'core.commitGraph', to allow flexibility in using all parts of a
commit-graph _except_ for its Bloom filters.
- The '--changed-paths' option for 'git commit-graph write', to allow
reading and writing Bloom filters to be controlled independently.
When the variable is set, pretend as if no Bloom data was specified at
all. This avoids adding additional special-casing outside of the
commit-graph internals.

In a759bfa9ee (t4216: add end to end tests for git log with Bloom
filters, 2020-04-06), a 'rm' invocation was added without a
corresponding '&&' chain.
When 'trace.perf' already exists, everything works fine. However, the
function can be executed without 'trace.perf' on disk (eg., when the
subset of tests run is altered with '--run'), and so the bare 'rm'
complains about a missing file.
To remove some noise from the test log, invoke 'rm' with '-f', at which
point it is sensible to place the 'rm -f' in an '&&'-chain, which is
both (1) our usual style, and (2) avoids a broken chain in the future if
more commands are added at the beginning of the function.

Many places in the code often need a pointer to the commit-graph's
'struct bloom_filter_settings', in which case they often take the value
from the top-most commit-graph.
In the non-split case, this works as expected. In the split case,
however, things get a little tricky. Not all layers in a chain of
incremental commit-graphs are required to themselves have Bloom data,
and so whether or not some part of the code uses Bloom filters depends
entirely on whether or not the top-most level of the commit-graph chain
has Bloom filters.
This has been the behavior since Bloom filters were introduced, and has
been codified into the tests since a759bfa9ee (t4216: add end to end
tests for git log with Bloom filters, 2020-04-06). In fact, t4216.130
requires that Bloom filters are not used in exactly the case described
earlier.
There is no reason that this needs to be the case, since it is perfectly
valid for commits in an earlier layer to have Bloom filters when commits
in a newer layer do not.
Since Bloom settings are guaranteed in practice to be the same for any
layer in a chain that has Bloom data, it is sufficient to traverse the
'->base_graph' pointer until either (1) a non-null 'struct
bloom_filter_settings *' is found, or (2) until we are at the root of
the commit-graph chain.
Introduce a 'get_bloom_filter_settings()' function that does just this,
and use it instead of purely dereferencing the top-most graph's
'->bloom_filter_settings' pointer.
While we're at it, add an additional test in t5324 to guard against code
in the commit-graph writing machinery that doesn't correctly handle a
NULL 'struct bloom_filter *'.

Updates to the changed-paths bloom filter.
* ds/commit-graph-bloom-updates:
commit-graph: check all leading directories in changed path Bloom filters
revision: empty pathspecs should not use Bloom filters
revision.c: fix whitespace
commit-graph: check chunk sizes after writing
commit-graph: simplify chunk writes into loop
commit-graph: unify the signatures of all write_graph_chunk_*() functions
commit-graph: persist existence of changed-paths
bloom: fix logic in get_bloom_filter()
commit-graph: change test to die on parse, not load
commit-graph: place bloom_settings in context
The file 'dir/subdir/file' can only be modified if its leading
directories 'dir' and 'dir/subdir' are modified as well.
So when checking modified path Bloom filters looking for commits
modifying a path with multiple path components, then check not only
the full path in the Bloom filters, but all its leading directories as
well. Take care to check these paths in "deepest first" order,
because it's the full path that is least likely to be modified, and
the Bloom filter queries can short circuit sooner.
This can significantly reduce the average false positive rate, by
about an order of magnitude or three(!), and can further speed up
pathspec-limited revision walks. The table below compares the average
false positive rate and runtime of
git rev-list HEAD -- "$path"
before and after this change for 5000+ randomly* selected paths from
each repository:
Average false Average Average
positive rate runtime runtime
before after before after difference
------------------------------------------------------------------
git 3.220% 0.7853% 0.0558s 0.0387s -30.6%
linux 2.453% 0.0296% 0.1046s 0.0766s -26.8%
tensorflow 2.536% 0.6977% 0.0594s 0.0420s -29.2%
*Path selection was done with the following pipeline:
git ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD | sort -R | head -n 5000
The improvements in runtime are much smaller than the improvements in
average false positive rate, as we are clearly reaching diminishing
returns here. However, all these timings depend on that accessing
tree objects is reasonably fast (warm caches). If we had a partial
clone and the tree objects had to be fetched from a promisor remote,
e.g.:
$ git clone --filter=tree:0 --bare file://.../webkit.git webkit.notrees.git
$ git -C webkit.git -c core.modifiedPathBloomFilters=1 \
commit-graph write --reachable
$ cp webkit.git/objects/info/commit-graph webkit.notrees.git/objects/info/
$ git -C webkit.notrees.git -c core.modifiedPathBloomFilters=1 \
rev-list HEAD -- "$path"
then checking all leading path component can reduce the runtime from
over an hour to a few seconds (and this is with the clone and the
promisor on the same machine).
This adjusts the tracing values in t4216-log-bloom.sh, which provides a
concrete way to notice the improvement.

The prepare_to_use_bloom_filter() method was not intended to be called
on an empty pathspec. However, 'git log -- .' and 'git log' are subtly
different: the latter reports all commits while the former will simplify
commits that do not change the root tree.
This means that the path used to construct the bloom_key might be empty,
and that value is not added to the Bloom filter during construction.
That means that the results are likely incorrect!
To resolve the issue, be careful about the length of the path and stop
filling Bloom filters. To be completely sure we do not use them, drop
the pointer to the bloom_filter_settings from the commit-graph. That
allows our test to look at the trace2 logs to verify no Bloom filter
statistics are reported.

The changed-path Bloom filters were released in v2.27.0, but have a
significant drawback. A user can opt-in to writing the changed-path
filters using the "--changed-paths" option to "git commit-graph write"
but the next write will drop the filters unless that option is
specified.
This becomes even more important when considering the interaction with
gc.writeCommitGraph (on by default) or fetch.writeCommitGraph (part of
features.experimental). These config options trigger commit-graph writes
that the user did not signal, and hence there is no --changed-paths
option available.
Allow a user that opts-in to the changed-path filters to persist the
property of "my commit-graph has changed-path filters" automatically. A
user can drop filters using the --no-changed-paths option.
In the process, we need to be extremely careful to match the Bloom
filter settings as specified by the commit-graph. This will allow future
versions of Git to customize these settings, and the version with this
change will persist those settings as commit-graphs are rewritten on
top.
Use the trace2 API to signal the settings used during the write, and
check that output in a test after manually adjusting the correct bytes
in the commit-graph file.

The get_bloom_filter() method is a bit complicated in some parts where
it does not need to be. In particular, it needs to return a NULL filter
only when compute_if_not_present is zero AND the filter data cannot be
loaded from a commit-graph file. This currently happens by accident
because the commit-graph does not load changed-path Bloom filters from
an existing commit-graph when writing a new one. This will change in a
later patch.
Also clean up some style issues while we are here.
One side-effect of returning a NULL filter is that the filters that are
reported as "too large" will now be reported as NULL insead of length
zero. This case was not properly covered before, so add a test. Further,
remote the counting of the zero-length filters from revision.c and the
trace2 logs.

These tests exercises writing commit graph with Bloom filters
and exercises 'git log -- path' with all the applicable
options. They check that the output is the same with and
without Bloom filters, confirm Bloom filters were used by
checking if trace2 statistics were logged correctly.
Also confirms cases where Bloom filters are not used:
1. Multiple path specs,
2. --walk-reflogs (see patch titled 'revision.c: use Bloom filters...'
for details,
3. If the latest commit graph does not have Bloom filters
