43262d8d65 Merge branch 'jk/squelch-missing-link-warning-for-unreachable'
Recent "git prune" traverses young unreachable objects to safekeep
old objects in the reachability chain from them, which sometimes
caused error messages that are unnecessarily alarming.

* jk/squelch-missing-link-warning-for-unreachable:
  suppress errors on missing UNINTERESTING links
  silence broken link warnings with revs->ignore_missing_links
  add quieter versions of parse_{tree,commit}

9cc2b07a7c add quieter versions of parse_{tree,commit}
When we call parse_commit, it will complain to stderr if the
object does not exist or cannot be read. This means that we
may produce useless error messages if this situation is
expected (e.g., because the object is marked UNINTERESTING,
or because revs->ignore_missing_links is set).

We can fix this by adding a new "parse_X_gently" form that
takes a flag to suppress the messages. The existing
"parse_X" form is already gentle in the sense that it
returns an error rather than dying, and we could in theory
just add a "quiet" flag to it (with existing callers passing
"0"). But doing it this way means we do not have to disturb
existing callers.

Note also that the new flag is "quiet_on_missing", and not
just "quiet". We could add a flag to suppress _all_ errors,
but besides being a more invasive change (we would have to
pass the flag down to sub-functions, too), there is a good
reason not to: we would never want to use it. Missing a
linked object is expected in some circumstances, but it is
never expected to have a malformed commit, or to get a tree
when we wanted a commit.  We should always complain about
these corruptions.

2ce406ccb8 get_merge_bases(): always clean-up object flags
The callers of get_merge_bases() can choose to leave object flags
used during the merge-base traversal by passing cleanup=0 as a
parameter, but in practice a very few callers can afford to do so
(namely, "git merge-base"), as they need to compute merge base in
preparation for other processing of their own and they need to see
the object without contaminate flags.

Change the function signature of get_merge_bases_many() and
get_merge_bases() to drop the cleanup parameter, so that the
majority of the callers do not have to say ", 1" at the end.

Give a new get_merge_bases_many_dirty() API to support only a few
callers that know they do not need to spend cycles cleaning up the
object flags.

a50e7ca321 gpg-interface: move parse_gpg_output() to where it should be
Earlier, ffb6d7d5 (Move commit GPG signature verification to
commit.c, 2013-03-31) moved this helper that used to be in pretty.c
(i.e. the output code path) to commit.c for better reusability.

It was a good first step in the right direction, but still suffers
from a myopic view that commits will be the only thing we would ever
want to sign---we would actually want to be able to reuse it even
wider.

The function interprets what GPG said; gpg-interface is obviously a
better place.  Move it there.

fe6eb7f2c5 commit: provide a function to find a header in a buffer
Usually when we parse a commit, we read it line by line and
handle each individual line (e.g., parse_commit and
parse_commit_header).  Sometimes, however, we only care
about extracting a single header. Code in this situation is
stuck doing an ad-hoc parse of the commit buffer.

Let's provide a reusable function to locate a header within
the commit.  The code is modeled after pretty.c's
get_header, which is used to extract the encoding.

Since some callers may not have the "struct commit" to go
along with the buffer, we drop that parameter.  The only
thing lost is a warning for truncated commits, but that's
OK.  This shouldn't happen in practice, and even if it does,
there's no particular reason that this function needs to
complain about it. It either finds the header it was asked
for, or it doesn't (and in the latter case, the caller will
typically complain).

c4ad00f8cc add object_as_type helper for casting objects
When we call lookup_commit, lookup_tree, etc, the logic goes
something like:

  1. Look for an existing object struct. If we don't have
     one, allocate and return a new one.

  2. Double check that any object we have is the expected
     type (and complain and return NULL otherwise).

  3. Convert an object with type OBJ_NONE (from a prior
     call to lookup_unknown_object) to the expected type.

We can encapsulate steps 2 and 3 in a helper function which
checks whether we have the expected object type, converts
OBJ_NONE as appropriate, and returns the object.

Not only does this shorten the code, but it also provides
one central location for converting OBJ_NONE objects into
objects of other types. Future patches will use that to
enforce type-specific invariants.

Since this is a refactoring, we would want it to behave
exactly as the current code. It takes a little reasoning to
see that this is the case:

  - for lookup_{commit,tree,etc} functions, we are just
    pulling steps 2 and 3 into a function that does the same
    thing.

  - for the call in peel_object, we currently only do step 3
    (but we want to consolidate it with the others, as
    mentioned above). However, step 2 is a noop here, as the
    surrounding conditional makes sure we have OBJ_NONE
    (which we want to keep to avoid an extraneous call to
    sha1_object_info).

  - for the call in lookup_commit_reference_gently, we are
    currently doing step 2 but not step 3. However, step 3
    is a noop here. The object we got will have just come
    from deref_tag, which must have figured out the type for
    each object in order to know when to stop peeling.
    Therefore the type will never be OBJ_NONE.

fe24d396e1 move setting of object->type to alloc_* functions
The "struct object" type implements basic object
polymorphism.  Individual instances are allocated as
concrete types (or as a union type that can store any
object), and a "struct object *" can be cast into its real
type after examining its "type" enum.  This means it is
dangerous to have a type field that does not match the
allocation (e.g., setting the type field of a "struct blob"
to "OBJ_COMMIT" would mean that a reader might read past the
allocated memory).

In most of the current code this is not a problem; the first
thing we do after allocating an object is usually to set its
type field by passing it to create_object. However, the
virtual commits we create in merge-recursive.c do not ever
get their type set. This does not seem to have caused
problems in practice, though (presumably because we always
pass around a "struct commit" pointer and never even look at
the type).

We can fix this oversight and also make it harder for future
code to get it wrong by setting the type directly in the
object allocation functions.

This will also make it easier to fix problems with commit
index allocation, as we know that any object allocated by
alloc_commit_node will meet the invariant that an object
with an OBJ_COMMIT type field will have a unique index
number.

73f43f220f paint_down_to_common: use prio_queue
When we are traversing to find merge bases, we keep our
usual commit_list of commits to process, sorted by their
commit timestamp. As we add each parent to the list, we have
to spend "O(width of history)" to do the insertion, where
the width of history is the number of simultaneous lines of
development.

If we instead use a heap-based priority queue, we can do
these insertions in "O(log width)" time. This provides minor
speedups to merge-base calculations (timings in linux.git,
warm cache, best-of-five):

  [before]
  $ git merge-base HEAD v2.6.12
  real    0m3.251s
  user    0m3.148s
  sys     0m0.104s

  [after]
  $ git merge-base HEAD v2.6.12
  real    0m3.234s
  user    0m3.108s
  sys     0m0.128s

That's only an 0.5% speedup, but it does help protect us
against pathological cases.

While we are munging the "interesting" function, we also
take the opportunity to give it a more descriptive name, and
convert the return value to an int (we returned the first
interesting commit, but nobody ever looked at it).

cf4fff579e refactor skip_prefix to return a boolean
The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content
past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While
this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use
for two reasons:

  1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string
     as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable.
     For example:

       tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo");
       if (tmp)
	       buf = tmp;

  2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as
     you need extra parentheses to silence compiler
     warnings. For example:

       if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"))
	       /* do something with cp */

Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and
we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line
of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past
the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra
strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but
means we are repeating ourselves).

This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean,
and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the
prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This
lets you write:

  if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg))
	  do_foo(arg);
  else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg))
	  do_bar(arg);

218aa3a616 reuse cached commit buffer when parsing signatures
When we call show_signature or show_mergetag, we read the
commit object fresh via read_sha1_file and reparse its
headers. However, in most cases we already have the object
data available, attached to the "struct commit". This is
partially laziness in dealing with the memory allocation
issues, but partially defensive programming, in that we
would always want to verify a clean version of the buffer
(not one that might have been munged by other users of the
commit).

However, we do not currently ever munge the commit buffer,
and not using the already-available buffer carries a fairly
big performance penalty when we are looking at a large
number of commits. Here are timings on linux.git:

  [baseline, no signatures]
  $ time git log >/dev/null
  real    0m4.902s
  user    0m4.784s
  sys     0m0.120s

  [before]
  $ time git log --show-signature >/dev/null
  real    0m14.735s
  user    0m9.964s
  sys     0m0.944s

  [after]
  $ time git log --show-signature >/dev/null
  real    0m9.981s
  user    0m5.260s
  sys     0m0.936s

Note that our user CPU time drops almost in half, close to
the non-signature case, but we do still spend more
wall-clock and system time, presumably from dealing with
gpg.

An alternative to this is to note that most commits do not
have signatures (less than 1% in this repo), yet we pay the
re-parsing cost for every commit just to find out if it has
a mergetag or signature. If we checked that when parsing the
commit initially, we could avoid re-examining most commits
later on. Even if we did pursue that direction, however,
this would still speed up the cases where we _do_ have
signatures. So it's probably worth doing either way.

8597ea3afe commit: record buffer length in cache
Most callsites which use the commit buffer try to use the
cached version attached to the commit, rather than
re-reading from disk. Unfortunately, that interface provides
only a pointer to the NUL-terminated buffer, with no
indication of the original length.

For the most part, this doesn't matter. People do not put
NULs in their commit messages, and the log code is happy to
treat it all as a NUL-terminated string. However, some code
paths do care. For example, when checking signatures, we
want to be very careful that we verify all the bytes to
avoid malicious trickery.

This patch just adds an optional "size" out-pointer to
get_commit_buffer and friends. The existing callers all pass
NULL (there did not seem to be any obvious sites where we
could avoid an immediate strlen() call, though perhaps with
some further refactoring we could).

c1b3c71f4b commit: convert commit->buffer to a slab
This will make it easier to manage the buffer cache
independently of the "struct commit" objects. It also
shrinks "struct commit" by one pointer, which may be
helpful.

Unfortunately it does not reduce the max memory size of
something like "rev-list", because rev-list uses
get_cached_commit_buffer() to decide not to show each
commit's output (and due to the design of slab_at, accessing
the slab requires us to extend it, allocating exactly the
same number of buffer pointers we dropped from the commit
structs).

ba41c1c93f use get_commit_buffer to avoid duplicate code
For both of these sites, we already do the "fallback to
read_sha1_file" trick. But we can shorten the code by just
using get_commit_buffer.

Note that the error cases are slightly different when
read_sha1_file fails. get_commit_buffer will die() if the
object cannot be loaded, or is a non-commit.

For get_sha1_oneline, this will almost certainly never
happen, as we will have just called parse_object (and if it
does, it's probably worth complaining about).

For record_author_date, the new behavior is probably better;
we notify the user of the error instead of silently ignoring
it. And because it's used only for sorting by author-date,
somebody examining a corrupt repo can fallback to the
regular traversal order.

152ff1cceb provide helpers to access the commit buffer
Many sites look at commit->buffer to get more detailed
information than what is in the parsed commit struct.
However, we sometimes drop commit->buffer to save memory,
in which case the caller would need to read the object
afresh. Some callers do this (leading to duplicated code),
and others do not (which opens the possibility of a segfault
if somebody else frees the buffer).

Let's provide a pair of helpers, "get" and "unuse", that let
callers easily get the buffer. They will use the cached
buffer when possible, and otherwise load from disk using
read_sha1_file.

Note that we also need to add a "get_cached" variant which
returns NULL when we do not have a cached buffer. At first
glance this seems to defeat the purpose of "get", which is
to always provide a return value. However, some log code
paths actually use the NULL-ness of commit->buffer as a
boolean flag to decide whether to try printing the
commit. At least for now, we want to continue supporting
that use.

0fb370da9c provide a helper to free commit buffer
This converts two lines into one at each caller. But more
importantly, it abstracts the concept of freeing the buffer,
which will make it easier to change later.

Note that we also need to provide a "detach" mechanism for a
tricky case in index-pack. We are passed a buffer for the
object generated by processing the incoming pack. If we are
not using --strict, we just calculate the sha1 on that
buffer and return, leaving the caller to free it.  But if we
are using --strict, we actually attach that buffer to an
object, pass the object to the fsck functions, and then
detach the buffer from the object again (so that the caller
can free it as usual).  In this case, we don't want to free
the buffer ourselves, but just make sure it is no longer
associated with the commit.

Note that we are making the assumption here that the
attach/detach process does not impact the buffer at all
(e.g., it is never reallocated or modified). That holds true
now, and we have no plans to change that. However, as we
abstract the commit_buffer code, this dependency becomes
less obvious. So when we detach, let's also make sure that
we get back the same buffer that we gave to the
commit_buffer code.

969eba6341 commit: push commit_index update into alloc_commit_node
Whenever we create a commit object via lookup_commit, we
give it a unique index to be used with the commit-slab API.
The theory is that any "struct commit" we create would
follow this code path, so any such struct would get an
index. However, callers could use alloc_commit_node()
directly (and get multiple commits with index 0).

Let's push the indexing into alloc_commit_node so that it's
hard for callers to get it wrong.

3ffefb54c0 commit_tree: take a pointer/len pair rather than a const strbuf
While strbufs are pretty common throughout our code, it is
more flexible for functions to take a pointer/len pair than
a strbuf. It's easy to turn a strbuf into such a pair (by
dereferencing its members), but less easy to go the other
way (you can strbuf_attach, but that has implications about
memory ownership).

This patch teaches commit_tree (and its associated callers
and sub-functions) to take such a pair for the commit
message rather than a strbuf.  This makes passing the buffer
around slightly more verbose, but means we can get rid of
some dangerous strbuf_attach calls in the next patch.
