hashtable_index() appears to be a close duplicate of hash_obj().
Keep only the later and make it usable for all cases.
Also remove the modulus as this is an expensive operation.
The size argument is always a power of 2 anyway, so a simple
mask operation provides the same result.
On a 'git rev-list --all --objects' run this decreased the time spent
in lookup_object from 27.5% to 24.1%.

If we exit early in the function parse_object_buffer, we did not
write to *eaten_p. Then the calling function parse_object, which looks
like the following with respect to the eaten variable, cannot rely on a
proper value set in eaten, hence the freeing of the buffer depends
on random values in memory.
struct object *parse_object(const unsigned char *sha1)
{
int eaten;
...
obj = parse_object_buffer(sha1, type, size, buffer, &eaten);
if (!eaten)
free(buffer);
}
This change makes sure, the buffer freeing condition is deterministic.

Previously, the memory management of the object_array_entry::name
field was inconsistent and undocumented. object_array_entries are
ultimately created by a single function, add_object_array_with_mode(),
which has an argument "const char *name". This function used to
simply set the name field to reference the string pointed to by the
name parameter, and nobody on the object_array side ever freed the
memory. Thus, it assumed that the memory for the name field would be
managed by the caller, and that the lifetime of that string would be
at least as long as the lifetime of the object_array_entry. But
callers were inconsistent:
* Some passed pointers to constant strings or argv entries, which was
OK.
* Some passed pointers to newly-allocated memory, but didn't arrange
for the memory ever to be freed.
* Some passed the return value of sha1_to_hex(), which is a pointer to
a statically-allocated buffer that can be overwritten at any time.
* Some passed pointers to refnames that they received from a
for_each_ref()-type iteration, but the lifetimes of such refnames is
not guaranteed by the refs API.
Bring consistency to this mess by changing object_array to make its
own copy for the object_array_entry::name field and free this memory
when an object_array_entry is deleted from the array.
Many callers were passing the empty string as the name parameter, so
as a performance optimization, treat the empty string specially.
Instead of making a copy, store a pointer to a statically-allocated
empty string to object_array_entry::name. When deleting such an
entry, skip the free().
Change the callers that were already passing copies to
add_object_array_with_mode() to either skip the copy, or (if the
memory needed to be allocated anyway) freeing the memory itself.

deleted any matching entries from the tail of the array. This

The lookup_object function is backed by a hash table of all
objects we have seen in the program. We manage collisions
with a linear walk over the colliding entries, checking each
with hashcmp(). The main cost of lookup is in these
hashcmp() calls; finding our item in the first slot is
cheaper than finding it in the second slot, which is cheaper
than the third, and so on.
If we assume that there is some locality to the object
lookups (e.g., if X and Y collide, and we have just looked
up X, the next lookup is more likely to be for X than for
Y), then we can improve our average lookup speed by checking
X before Y.
This patch does so by swapping a found item to the front of
the collision chain. The p0001 perf test reveals that this
does indeed exploit locality in the case of "rev-list --all
--objects":
Test origin this tree
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
0001.1: rev-list --all 0.40(0.38+0.02) 0.40(0.36+0.03) +0.0%
0001.2: rev-list --all --objects 2.24(2.17+0.05) 1.86(1.79+0.05) -17.0%
This is not surprising, as the full object traversal will
hit the same tree entries over and over (e.g., for every
commit that doesn't change "Documentation/", we will have to
look up the same sha1 just to find out that we already
processed it).
The reason why this technique works (and does not violate
any properties of the hash table) is subtle and bears some
explanation. Let's imagine we get a lookup for sha1 `X`, and
it hashes to bucket `i` in our table. That stretch of the
table may look like:
index | i-1 | i | i+1 | i+2 |
-----------------------------------
entry ... | A | B | C | X | ...
-----------------------------------
We start our probe at i, see that B does not match, nor does
C, and finally find X. There may be multiple C's in the
middle, but we know that there are no empty slots (or else
we would not find X at all).
We do not know the original index of B; it may be `i`, or it
may be less than i (e.g., if it were `i-1`, it would collide
with A and spill over into the `i` bucket). So it is
acceptable for us to move it to the right of a contiguous
stretch of entries (because we will find it from a linear
walk starting anywhere at `i` or before), but never to the
left (if we moved it to `i-1`, we would miss it when
starting our walk at `i`).
We do know the original index of X; it is `i`, so it is safe
to place it anywhere in the contiguous stretch between `i`
and where we found it (`i+2` in the this case).
This patch does a pure swap; after finding X in the
situation above, we would end with:
index | i-1 | i | i+1 | i+2 |
-----------------------------------
entry ... | A | X | C | B | ...
-----------------------------------
We could instead bump X into the `i` slot, and then shift
the whole contiguous chain down by one, resulting in:
index | i-1 | i | i+1 | i+2 |
-----------------------------------
entry ... | A | X | B | C | ...
-----------------------------------
That puts our chain in true most-recently-used order.
However, experiments show that it is not any faster (and in
fact, is slightly slower due to the extra manipulation).

Many call-sites of parse_object assume that they will get a
non-NULL return value; this is not the case if we encounter
an error while parsing the object.
This patch adds a wrapper function around parse_object that
handles dying automatically, and uses it anywhere we
immediately try to access the return value as a non-NULL
pointer (i.e., anywhere that we would currently segfault).
This wrapper may also be useful in other places. The most
obvious one is code like:
o = parse_object(sha1);
if (!o)
die(...);
However, these should not be mechanically converted to
parse_object_or_die, as the die message is sometimes
customized. Later patches can address these sites on a

Traditionally, all the callers of check_sha1_signature() first
called read_sha1_file() to prepare the whole object data in core,
and called this function. The function is used to revalidate what
we read from the object database actually matches the object name we
used to ask for the data from the object database.
Update the API to allow callers to pass NULL as the object data, and
have the function read and hash the object data using streaming API
to recompute the object name, without having to hold everything in
core at the same time. This is most useful in parse_object() that
parses a blob object, because this caller does not have to keep the
actual blob data around in memory after a "struct blob" is returned.

When parse_object is called, we do the following:
1. read the object data into a buffer via read_sha1_file
2. call parse_object_buffer, which then:
a. calls the appropriate lookup_{commit,tree,blob,tag}
to either create a new "struct object", or to find
an existing one. We know the appropriate type from
the lookup in step 1.
b. calls the appropriate parse_{commit,tree,blob,tag}
to parse the buffer for the new (or existing) object
In step 2b, all of the called functions are no-ops for
object "X" if "X->object.parsed" is set. I.e., when we have
already parsed an object, we end up going to a lot of work
just to find out at a low level that there is nothing left
for us to do (and we throw away the data from read_sha1_file
unread).
We can optimize this by moving the check for "do we have an
in-memory object" from 2a before the expensive call to
read_sha1_file in step 1.
This might seem circular, since step 2a uses the type
information determined in step 1 to call the appropriate
lookup function. However, we can notice that all of the
lookup_* functions are backed by lookup_object. In other
words, all of the objects are kept in a master hash table,
and we don't actually need the type to do the "do we have
it" part of the lookup, only to do the "and create it if it
doesn't exist" part.
This can save time whenever we call parse_object on the same
sha1 twice in a single program. Some code paths already
perform this optimization manually, with either:
if (!obj->parsed)
obj = parse_object(obj->sha1);
if you already have a "struct object", or:
struct object *obj = lookup_unknown_object(sha1);
if (!obj || !obj->parsed)
obj = parse_object(sha1);
if you don't. This patch moves the optimization into
parse_object itself.
Most git operations won't notice any impact. Either they
don't parse a lot of duplicate sha1s, or the calling code
takes special care not to re-parse objects. I timed two
code paths that do benefit (there may be more, but these two
were immediately obvious and easy to time).
The first is fast-export, which calls parse_object on each
object it outputs, like this:
object = parse_object(sha1);
if (!object)
die(...);
if (object->flags & SHOWN)
return;
which means that just to realize we have already shown an
object, we will read the whole object from disk!
With this patch, my best-of-five time for "fast-export --all" on
git.git dropped from 26.3s to 21.3s.
The second case is upload-pack, which will call parse_object
for each advertised ref (because it needs to peel tags to
show "^{}" entries). This doesn't matter for most
repositories, because they don't have a lot of refs pointing
to the same objects. However, if you have a big alternates
repository with a shared object db for a number of child
repositories, then the alternates repository will have
duplicated refs representing each of its children.
For example, GitHub's alternates repository for git.git has
~120,000 refs, of which only ~3200 are unique. The time for
upload-pack to print its list of advertised refs dropped
from 3.4s to 0.76s.

Commit 0e87c36 (object: call "check_sha1_signature" with the
replacement sha1) changed the first argument passed to
parse_object_buffer() from "sha1" to "repl". With that change,
the returned obj pointer has the replacement SHA1 in obj->sha1,
not the original one.
But when using lookup_commit() and then parse_commit() on a
commit, we get an object pointer with the original sha1, but
the commit content comes from the replacement commit.
So the result we get from using parse_object() is different
from the we get from using lookup_commit() followed by
parse_commit().
It looks much simpler and safer to fix this inconsistency by
passing "sha1" to parse_object_bufer() instead of "repl".
The commit comment should be used to tell the the replacement
commit is replacing another commit and why. So it should be
easy to see that we have a replacement commit instead of an
original one.
And it is not a problem if the content of the commit is not
consistent with the sha1 as cat-file piped to hash-object can
be used to see the difference.

When passed an empty list, objects_array_remove_duplicates() corrupts it
by changing the number of entries from 0 to 1.
The problem lies in the condition of its main loop:
for (ref = 0; ref < array->nr - 1; ref++) {
The loop body manipulates the supplied object array. In the case of an
empty array, it should not be doing anything at all. But array->nr is an
unsigned quantity, so the code enters the loop, in particular increasing
array->nr. Fix this by comparing (ref + 1 < array->nr) instead.
This bug can be triggered by git bundle --stdin:

The list of commits to bundle appears to be empty because of another bug:

input has already been consumed by rev-list, so this function gets an
empty list of revisions.

This IMNSHO cleans up the object hashing.
The hash expansion is separated out into a function of its own, the hash
array (and size) names are made more obvious, and the code is generally
made to look a bit more like the object-ref hashing.
It also gets rid of "find_object()" returning an index (or negative
position if no object is found), since that is made redundant by the
simplified object rehashing. The basic operation is now "lookup_object()"
which just returns the object itself.

We've had this notion of a "object_list" for a long time, which eventually
grew a "name" member because some users (notably git-rev-list) wanted to
name each object as it is generated.
That object_list is great for some things, but it isn't all that wonderful
for others, and the "name" member is generally not used by everybody.
This patch splits the users of the object_list array up into two: the
traditional list users, who want the list-like format, and who don't
actually use or want the name. And another class of users that really used
the list as an extensible array, and generally wanted to name the objects.
The patch is fairly straightforward, but it's also biggish. Most of it
really just cleans things up: switching the revision parsing and listing
over to the array makes things like the builtin-diff usage much simpler
(we now see exactly how many members the array has, and we don't get the
objects reversed from the order they were on the command line).
One of the main reasons for doing this at all is that the malloc overhead
of the simple object list was actually pretty high, and the array is just
a lot denser. So this patch brings down memory usage by git-rev-list by
just under 3% (on top of all the other memory use optimizations) on the
mozilla archive.
It does add more lines than it removes, and more importantly, it adds a
whole new infrastructure for maintaining lists of objects, but on the
other hand, the new dynamic array code is pretty obvious. The change to
builtin-diff-tree.c shows a fairly good example of why an array interface
is sometimes more natural, and just much simpler for everybody.

This shrinks "struct object" to the absolutely minimal size possible.
It now contains /only/ the object flags and the SHA1 hash name of the
object.
The "refs" field, which is really needed only for fsck, is maintained in
a separate hashed lookup-table, allowing all normal users to totally
ignore it.
This helps memory usage, although not as much as I hoped: it looks like
the allocation overhead of malloc (and the alignment constraints in
particular) means that while the structure size shrinks, the actual
allocation overhead mostly does not.
[ That said: memory usage is actually down, but not as much as it should
be: I suspect just one of the object types actually ended up shrinking
its effective allocation size.
To get to the next level, we probably need specialized allocators that
don't pad the allocation more than necessary. ]
The separation makes for some code cleanup, though, and makes the ref
tracking that fsck wants a clearly separate thing.

This shrinks "struct object" by a small amount, by getting rid of the
"struct type *" pointer and replacing it with a 3-bit bitfield instead.
In addition, we merge the bitfields and the "flags" field, which
incidentally should also remove a useless 4-byte padding from the object
when in 64-bit mode.
Now, our "struct object" is still too damn large, but it's now less
obviously bloated, and of the remaining fields, only the "util" (which is
not used by most things) is clearly something that should be eventually
discarded.
This shrinks the "git-rev-list --all" memory use by about 2.5% on the
kernel archive (and, perhaps more importantly, on the larger mozilla
archive). That may not sound like much, but I suspect it's more on a
64-bit platform.
There are other remaining inefficiencies (the parent lists, for example,
probably have horrible malloc overhead), but this was pretty obvious.
Most of the patch is just changing the comparison of the "type" pointer
from one of the constant string pointers to the appropriate new TYPE_xxx
small integer constant.
