Before refactoring into the chunk-format API, the commit-graph parsing
logic included checks for duplicate chunks. It is unlikely that we would
desire a chunk-based file format that allows duplicate chunk IDs in the
table of contents, so add duplicate checks into
read_table_of_contents().

When calculating the sizes of certain chunks, we should use 64-bit
multiplication always. This allows us to properly predict the chunk
sizes without risk of overflow.
Other possible overflows were discovered by evaluating each
multiplication in midx.c and ensuring that at least one side of the
operator was of type size_t or off_t.

Add the capability to read the table of contents, then pair the chunks
with necessary logic using read_chunk_fn pointers. Callers will be added
in future changes, but the typical outline will be:
1. initialize a 'struct chunkfile' with init_chunkfile(NULL).
2. call read_table_of_contents().
3. for each chunk to parse,
a. call pair_chunk() to assign a pointer with the chunk position, or
b. call read_chunk() to run a callback on the chunk start and size.
4. call free_chunkfile() to clear the 'struct chunkfile' data.
We are re-using the anonymous 'struct chunkfile' data, as it is internal
to the chunk-format API. This gives it essentially two modes: write and
read. If the same struct instance was used for both reads and writes,
then there would be failures.

Historically, the chunk-writing methods in midx.c have returned the
amount of data written so the writer method could compare this with the
table of contents. This presents with some interesting issues:
1. If a chunk writing method has a bug that miscalculates the written
bytes, then we can satisfy the table of contents without actually
writing the right amount of data to the hashfile. The commit-graph
writing code checks the hashfile struct directly for a more robust
verification.
2. There is no way for a chunk writing method to gracefully fail.
Returning an int presents an opportunity to fail without a die().
3. The current pattern doesn't match chunk_write_fn type exactly, so we
cannot share code with commit-graph.c
For these reasons, convert the midx chunk writer methods to return an
'int'. Since none of them fail at the moment, they all return 0.

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.

Since there are released versions of Git that understand generation
numbers in the commit-graph's CDAT chunk but do not understand the GDAT
chunk, the following scenario is possible:
1. "New" Git writes a commit-graph with the GDAT chunk.
2. "Old" Git writes a split commit-graph on top without a GDAT chunk.
If each layer of split commit-graph is treated independently, as it was
the case before this commit, with Git inspecting only the current layer
for chunk_generation_data pointer, commits in the lower layer (one with
GDAT) whould have corrected commit date as their generation number,
while commits in the upper layer would have topological levels as their
generation. Corrected commit dates usually have much larger values than
topological levels. This means that if we take two commits, one from the
upper layer, and one reachable from it in the lower layer, then the
expectation that the generation of a parent is smaller than the
generation of a child would be violated.
It is difficult to expose this issue in a test. Since we _start_ with
artificially low generation numbers, any commit walk that prioritizes
generation numbers will walk all of the commits with high generation
number before walking the commits with low generation number. In all the
cases I tried, the commit-graph layers themselves "protect" any
incorrect behavior since none of the commits in the lower layer can
reach the commits in the upper layer.
This issue would manifest itself as a performance problem in this case,
especially with something like "git log --graph" since the low
generation numbers would cause the in-degree queue to walk all of the
commits in the lower layer before allowing the topo-order queue to write
anything to output (depending on the size of the upper layer).
Therefore, When writing the new layer in split commit-graph, we write a
GDAT chunk only if the topmost layer has a GDAT chunk. This guarantees
that if a layer has GDAT chunk, all lower layers must have a GDAT chunk
as well.
Rewriting layers follows similar approach: if the topmost layer below
the set of layers being rewritten (in the split commit-graph chain)
exists, and it does not contain GDAT chunk, then the result of rewrite
does not have GDAT chunks either.

As discovered by Ævar, we cannot increment graph version to
distinguish between generation numbers v1 and v2 [1]. Thus, one of
pre-requistes before implementing generation number v2 was to
distinguish between graph versions in a backwards compatible manner.
We are going to introduce a new chunk called Generation DATa chunk (or
GDAT). GDAT will store corrected committer date offsets whereas CDAT
will still store topological level.
Old Git does not understand GDAT chunk and would ignore it, reading
topological levels from CDAT. New Git can parse GDAT and take advantage
of newer generation numbers, falling back to topological levels when
GDAT chunk is missing (as it would happen with a commit-graph written
by old Git).
We introduce a test environment variable 'GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_NO_GDAT'
which forces commit-graph file to be written without generation data
chunk to emulate a commit-graph file written by old Git.
To minimize the space required to store corrrected commit date, Git
stores corrected commit date offsets into the commit-graph file, instea
of corrected commit dates. This saves us 4 bytes per commit, decreasing
the GDAT chunk size by half, but it's possible for the offset to
overflow the 4-bytes allocated for storage. As such overflows are and
should be exceedingly rare, we use the following overflow management
scheme:
We introduce a new commit-graph chunk, Generation Data OVerflow ('GDOV')
to store corrected commit dates for commits with offsets greater than
GENERATION_NUMBER_V2_OFFSET_MAX.
If the offset is greater than GENERATION_NUMBER_V2_OFFSET_MAX, we set
the MSB of the offset and the other bits store the position of corrected
commit date in GDOV chunk, similar to how Extra Edge List is maintained.
We test the overflow-related code with the following repo history:
F - N - U
/ \
U - N - U N
\ /
N - F - N
Where the commits denoted by U have committer date of zero seconds
since Unix epoch, the commits denoted by N have committer date of
1112354055 (default committer date for the test suite) seconds since
Unix epoch and the commits denoted by F have committer date of
(2 ^ 31 - 2) seconds since Unix epoch.
The largest offset observed is 2 ^ 31, just large enough to overflow.

With most of preparations done, let's implement corrected commit date.
The corrected commit date for a commit is defined as:
* A commit with no parents (a root commit) has corrected commit date
equal to its committer date.
* A commit with at least one parent has corrected commit date equal to
the maximum of its commit date and one more than the largest corrected
commit date among its parents.
As a special case, a root commit with timestamp of zero (01.01.1970
00:00:00Z) has corrected commit date of one, to be able to distinguish
from GENERATION_NUMBER_ZERO (that is, an uncomputed corrected commit
date).
To minimize the space required to store corrected commit date, Git
stores corrected commit date offsets into the commit-graph file. The
corrected commit date offset for a commit is defined as the difference
between its corrected commit date and actual commit date.
Storing corrected commit date requires sizeof(timestamp_t) bytes, which
in most cases is 64 bits (uintmax_t). However, corrected commit date
offsets can be safely stored using only 32-bits. This halves the size
of GDAT chunk, which is a reduction of around 6% in the size of
commit-graph file.
However, using offsets be problematic if a commit is malformed but valid
and has committer date of 0 Unix time, as the offset would be the same
as corrected commit date and thus require 64-bits to be stored properly.
While Git does not write out offsets at this stage, Git stores the
corrected commit dates in member generation of struct commit_graph_data.
It will begin writing commit date offsets with the introduction of
generation data chunk.

In a later commit we will introduce corrected commit date as the

seperate Generation Data chunk. However, to ensure backwards
compatibility with "Old" Git we need to continue to write generation
number v1 (topological levels) to the commit data chunk. Thus, we need
to compute and store both versions of generation numbers to write the
commit-graph file.
Therefore, let's introduce a commit-slab `topo_level_slab` to store
topological levels; corrected commit date will be stored in the member
`generation` of struct commit_graph_data.
The macros `GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY` and `GENERATION_NUMBER_ZERO`
mark commits not in the commit-graph file and commits written by a
version of Git that did not compute generation numbers respectively.
Generation numbers are computed identically for both kinds of commits.
A "slab-miss" should return `GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY` as the commit
is not in the commit-graph file. However, since the slab is
zero-initialized, it returns 0 (or rather `GENERATION_NUMBER_ZERO`).
Thus, we no longer need to check if the topological level of a commit is
`GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY`.
We will add a pointer to the slab in `struct write_commit_graph_context`
and `struct commit_graph` to populate the slab in
`fill_commit_graph_info` if the commit has a pre-computed topological

fill_commit_in_graph().
fill_commit_graph_info() used to not load committer data from commit data
chunk. However, with the upcoming switch to using corrected committer

compute generation number value anyway.
e51217e15 (t5000: test tar files that overflow ustar headers,
30-06-2016) introduced a test 'generate tar with future mtime' that
creates a commit with committer date of (2^36 + 1) seconds since
EPOCH. The CDAT chunk provides 34-bits for storing committer date, thus
committer time overflows into generation number (within CDAT chunk) and
has undefined behavior.
The test used to pass as fill_commit_graph_info() would not set struct
member `date` of struct commit and load committer date from the object
database, generating a tar file with the expected mtime.
However, with corrected commit date, we will load the committer date
from CDAT chunk (truncated to lower 34-bits to populate the generation
number. Thus, Git sets date and generates tar file with the truncated
mtime.
The ustar format (the header format used by most modern tar programs)
only has room for 11 (or 12, depending on some implementations) octal
digits for the size and mtime of each file.
As the CDAT chunk is overflow by 12-octal digits but not 11-octal
digits, we split the existing tests to test both implementations
separately and add a new explicit test for 11-digit implementation.
To test the 11-octal digit implementation, we create a future commit
with committer date of 2^34 - 1, which overflows 11-octal digits without
overflowing 34-bits of the Commit Date chunks.
To test the 12-octal digit implementation, the smallest committer date
possible is 2^36 + 1, which overflows the CDAT chunk and thus
commit-graph must be disabled for the test.

Before computing Bloom filters, the commit-graph machinery uses
commit_gen_cmp to sort commits by generation order for improved diff
performance. 3d11275505 (commit-graph: examine commits by generation
number, 2020-03-30) claims that this sort can reduce the time spent to
compute Bloom filters by nearly half.
But since c49c82aa4c (commit: move members graph_pos, generation to a

'commit_graph_generation()' directly returns GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY
while writing.
Not all hope is lost, though: 'commit_gen_cmp()' falls back to
comparing commits by their date when they have equal generation number,
and so since c49c82aa4c is purely a date comparison function. This
heuristic is good enough that we don't seem to loose appreciable
performance while computing Bloom filters.
Applying this patch (compared with v2.30.0) speeds up computing Bloom
filters by factors ranging from 0.40% to 5.19% on various repositories [1].
So, avoid the useless 'commit_graph_generation()' while writing by
instead accessing the slab directly. This returns the newly-computed
generation numbers, and allows us to avoid the heuristic by directly
comparing generation numbers.
