Gregory Szorc <gregory.szorc@gmail.com> [Sat, 10 Mar 2018 12:36:36 -0800] rev 36871
hgweb: perform all parameter lookup via qsparams I think I managed to update all call sites using wsgirequest.form to use parsedrequest.qsparams. Since behavior of qsparams is to retrieve last value, behavior will change if a parameter was specified multiple times. But I think this is acceptable. I'm not a fan of the `req.req.qsparams` pattern. And some of the modified code could be written better. But I was aiming for a straight port with this change. Cleanup can come later.

hgweb: set variables in qsparams We currently mutate wsgireq.form in a few places.

hgweb: use our new request object for "style" parameter The "style" parameter is kind of wonky because it is explicitly set and has lookups in random locations. Let's port it to qsparams first because it isn't straightforward. There is subtle change in behavior. But I don't think it is worth calling out in a BC. Our multidict's __getitem__ returns the last set value for a key, not the first. So if the query string set a variable multiple times, before we would get the first value and now we would get the last value. It makes no sense to specify these things multiple times. And I think last write wins is more sensible than first write wins. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2779

Gregory Szorc <gregory.szorc@gmail.com> [Sat, 10 Mar 2018 12:35:38 -0800] rev 36868
hgweb: use a multidict for holding query string parameters My intention with refactoring the WSGI code was to make it easier to read. I initially wanted to vendor and use WebOb, because it seems to be a pretty reasonable abstraction layer for WSGI. However, it isn't using relative imports and I didn't want to deal with the hassle of patching it. But that doesn't mean we can't use good ideas from WebOb. WebOb has a "multidict" data structure for holding parsed query string and POST form data. It quacks like a dict but allows you to store multiple values for each key. It offers mechanisms to return just one value, all values, or return 1 value asserting that only 1 value is set. I quite like its API. This commit implements a read-only "multidict" in the spirit of WebOb's multidict. We replace the query string attributes of our parsed request with an instance of it.

Gregory Szorc <gregory.szorc@gmail.com> [Sat, 10 Mar 2018 11:23:05 -0800] rev 36867
hgweb: create dedicated type for WSGI responses We have refactored the request side of WSGI processing into a dedicated type. Now let's do the same thing for the response side. We invent a ``wsgiresponse`` type. It takes an instance of a request (for consulation) and the WSGI application's "start_response" handler. The type basically allows setting the HTTP status line, response headers, and the response body. The WSGI application calls sendresponse() to start sending output. Output is emitted as a generator to be fed through the WSGI application. According to PEP 3333, this is the preferred way for output to be transmitted. (Our legacy ``wsgirequest`` exposed a write() to send data. We do not wish to support this API because it isn't recommended by PEP 3333.) The wire protocol code has been ported to use the new API.

Gregory Szorc <gregory.szorc@gmail.com> [Fri, 09 Mar 2018 17:10:36 -0800] rev 36865
hgweb: remove support for short query string based aliases (BC) Form data exposed by hgweb is post-processed to expand certain shortcuts. For example, URLs with "?cs=@" is essentially expanded to "?cmd=changeset&node=@". And the URL router treats this the same as "/changeset/@". These shortcuts were initially added in 2005 in 34cb3957d875 and 964baa35faf8. They have rarely been touched in the last decade (just moving code around a bit). We have almost no test coverage of this feature. AFAICT no templates reference URLs of this form. I even looked at the initial version of paper and coal from ~2008 and they use the "/command/params" URL form and not these shortcuts. Furthermore, I couldn't even get some shortcuts to work! For example, "?sl=@" attempts to do a revision search instead of showing shortlog starting at revision @. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong? Because this is ancient, mostly untested code, there is a migration path to something better, and because anyone passionate enough to preserve URLs can install URL redirects, let's nuke the feature. .. bc:: Query string shorts in hgweb like ``?cs=@`` have been removed. Use URLs of the form ``/:cmd`` instead. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2773

Gregory Szorc <gregory.szorc@gmail.com> [Sat, 10 Mar 2018 11:07:53 -0800] rev 36864
hgweb: remove support for POST form data (BC) Previously, we called out to cgi.parse(), which for POST requests parsed multipart/form-data and application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Type requests for form data, combined it with query string parameters, returned a union of the values. As far as I know, nothing in Mercurial actually uses this mechanism to submit data to the HTTP server. The wire protocol has its own mechanism for passing parameters. And the web interface only does GET requests. Removing support for parsing POST data doesn't break any tests. Another reason to not like this feature is that cgi.parse() may modify the QUERY_STRING environment variable as a side-effect. In addition, it merges both POST data and the query string into one data structure. This prevents consumers from knowing whether a variable came from the query string or POST data. That can matter for some operations. I suspect we use cgi.parse() because back when this code was initially implemented, it was the function that was readily available. In other words, I don't think there was conscious choice to support POST data: we just got it because cgi.parse() supported it. Since nothing uses the feature and it is untested, let's remove support for parsing POST form data. We can add it back in easily enough if we need it in the future. .. bc:: Hgweb no longer reads form data in POST requests from multipart/form-data and application/x-www-form-urlencoded requests. Arguments should be specified as URL path components or in the query string in the URL instead. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2774

hgweb: expose input stream on parsed WSGI request object Our next step towards moving away from wsgirequest to our newer, friendlier parsedrequest type is input stream access. This commit exposes the input stream on the instance. Consumers in the HTTP protocol server switch to it. Because there were very few consumers of the input stream, we stopped storing a reference to the input stream on wsgirequest directly. All access now goes through parsedrequest. However, wsgirequest still may read from this stream as part of cgi.parse(). So we still need to create the stream from wsgirequest. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2771

hgweb: make parsedrequest part of wsgirequest This is kind of ugly. But an upcoming commit will teach parsedrequest about the input stream. Because the input stream is global state and can't be accessed without side-effects, we need to take actions to ensure that multiple consumers don't read from it independently. The easiest way to do this is for one object to hold a reference to both items having access to the input stream so that when a copy is made, we can remove the attribute from the other instance. So we create our parsed request instance from the wsgirequest constructor and hold a reference to it there. This is better than our new type holding a reference to wsgirequest because all the code for managing access will be temporary and we shouldn't pollute parsedrequest with this ugly history.

Gregory Szorc <gregory.szorc@gmail.com> [Sat, 10 Mar 2018 11:03:45 -0800] rev 36861
hgweb: refactor the request draining code The previous code for draining was only invoked in a few places in the wire protocol. Behavior wasn't consist. Furthermore, it was difficult to reason about. With us converting the input stream to a capped reader, it is now safe to always drain the input stream when its size is known because we can never overrun the input and read into the next HTTP request. The only question is "should we?" This commit changes the draining code so every request is examined. Draining now kicks in for a few requests where it wouldn't before. But I think the code is sufficiently restricted so the behavior is safe. Possibly the most dangerous part of this code is the issuing of Connection: close for POST and PUT requests that don't have a Content-Length. I don't think there are any such uses in our WSGI application, so this should be safe. In the near future, I plan to significantly refactor the WSGI response handling. I anticipate this code evolving a bit. So any minor regressions around draining or connection closing behavior might be fixed as a result of that work. All tests pass with this change. That scares me a bit because it means we are lacking low-level tests for the HTTP protocol. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2769

Gregory Szorc <gregory.szorc@gmail.com> [Sat, 10 Mar 2018 10:48:34 -0800] rev 36860
hgweb: use a capped reader for WSGI input stream Per PEP 3333, the input stream from WSGI should respect EOF and prevent reads past the end of the request body. However, not all WSGI servers guarantee this. Notably, our BaseHTTPServer based built-in HTTP server doesn't. Instead, it exposes the raw socket and you can read() from it all you want, getting the connection in a bad state by doing so. We have a "cappedreader" utility class that proxies a file object and prevents reading past a limit. This commit converts the WSGI input stream into a capped reader when the input length is advertised via Content-Length headers. "cappedreader" only exposes a read() method. PEP 3333 states that the input stream MUST also support readline(), readlines(hint), and __iter__(). However, since our WSGI application code only calls read() and since we're not manipulating the stream exposed by the WSGI server, we're not violating the spec here.

xdiff: replace {unsigned ,}long with {u,}int64_t MSVC treats "long" as 4-byte. That could cause overflows since the xdiff code uses "long" in places where "size_t" or "ssize_t" should be used. Let's use explicit 8 byte integers to avoid FWIW git avoids that overflow by limiting diff size to 1GB [1]. After examining the code, I think the remaining risk (the use of "int") is low since "int" is only used for return values and hash table size. Although a wrong hash table size would not affect the correctness of the code, but that could make the code extremely slow. The next patch will change hash table size to 8-byte integer so the 1GB limit is unlikely needed. This patch was done by using `sed`.

Wed, 07 Mar 2018 14:45:31 -0800 xdiff: add a preprocessing step that trims files
Jun Wu <quark@fb.com> [Wed, 07 Mar 2018 14:45:31 -0800] rev 36828
xdiff: add a preprocessing step that trims files xdiff has a `xdl_trim_ends` step that removes common lines, unmatchable lines. That is in theory good, but happens too late - after splitting, hashing, and adjusting the hash values so they are unique. Those splitting, hashing and adjusting hash values steps could have noticeable overhead. Diffing two large files with minor (one-line-ish) changes are not uncommon. In that case, the raw performance of those preparation steps seriously matter. Even allocating an O(N) array and storing line offsets to it is expensive. Therefore my previous attempts [1] [2] cannot be good enough since they do not remove the O(N) array assignment. This patch adds a preprocessing step - `xdl_trim_files` that runs before other preprocessing steps. It counts common prefix and suffix and lines in them (needed for displaying line number), without doing anything else. Testing with a crafted large (169MB) file, with minor change: ``` open('a','w').write(''.join('%s\n' % (i % 100000) for i in xrange(30000000) if i != 6000000)) open('b','w').write(''.join('%s\n' % (i % 100000) for i in xrange(30000000) if i != 6003000)) ``` Running xdiff by a simple binary [3], this patch improves the xdiff perf by more than 10x for the above case: ``` # xdiff before this patch 2.41s user 1.13s system 98% cpu 3.592 total # xdiff after this patch 0.14s user 0.16s system 98% cpu 0.309 total # gnu diffutils 0.12s user 0.15s system 98% cpu 0.272 total # (best of 20 runs) ``` It's still slightly slower than GNU diffutils. But it's pretty close now. Testing with real repo data: For the whole repo, this patch makes xdiff 25% faster: ``` # hg perfbdiff --count 100 --alldata -c d334afc585e2 --blocks [--xdiff] # xdiff, after ! wall 0.058861 comb 0.050000 user 0.050000 sys 0.000000 (best of 100) # xdiff, before ! wall 0.077816 comb 0.080000 user 0.080000 sys 0.000000 (best of 91) # bdiff ! wall 0.117473 comb 0.120000 user 0.120000 sys 0.000000 (best of 67) ``` For files that are long (ex. commands.py), the speedup is more than 3x, very significant: ``` # hg perfbdiff --count 3000 --blocks commands.py.i 1 [--xdiff] # xdiff, after ! wall 0.690583 comb 0.690000 user 0.690000 sys 0.000000 (best of 12) # xdiff, before ! wall 2.240361 comb 2.210000 user 2.210000 sys 0.000000 (best of 4) # bdiff ! wall 2.469852 comb 2.440000 user 2.440000 sys 0.000000 (best of 4) ``` [1]: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2631 [2]: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2634 [3]: ``` // Code to run xdiff from command line.
