Wed, 12 Oct 2016 21:33:45 +0200 checkcopies: add a sanity check against false-positive copies
Gábor Stefanik <gabor.stefanik@nng.com> [Wed, 12 Oct 2016 21:33:45 +0200] rev 30188
checkcopies: add a sanity check against false-positive copies When grafting a copy backwards through a rename, a copy is wrongly detected, which causes the graft to be applied inappropriately, in a destructive way. Make sure that the old file name really exists in the common ancestor, and bail out if it doesn't. This fixes the aggravated case of bug 5343, although the basic issue (failure to duplicate the copy information) still occurs.
Sun, 16 Oct 2016 10:38:52 -0700 exchange: refactor APIs to obtain bundle data (API)
Gregory Szorc <gregory.szorc@gmail.com> [Sun, 16 Oct 2016 10:38:52 -0700] rev 30187
exchange: refactor APIs to obtain bundle data (API) Currently, exchange.getbundle() returns either a cg1unpacker or a util.chunkbuffer (in the case of bundle2). This is kinda OK, as both expose a .read() to consumers. However, localpeer.getbundle() has code inferring what the response type is based on arguments and converts the util.chunkbuffer returned in the bundle2 case to a bundle2.unbundle20 instance. This is a sign that the API for exchange.getbundle() is not ideal because it doesn't consistently return an "unbundler" instance. In addition, unbundlers mask the fact that there is an underlying generator of changegroup data. In both cg1 and bundle2, this generator is being fed into a util.chunkbuffer so it can be re-exposed as a file object. util.chunkbuffer is a nice abstraction. However, it should only be used "at the edges." This is because keeping data as a generator is more efficient than converting it to a chunkbuffer, especially if we convert that chunkbuffer back to a generator (as is the case in some code paths currently). This patch refactors exchange.getbundle() into exchange.getbundlechunks(). The new API returns an iterator of chunks instead of a file-like object. Callers of exchange.getbundle() have been updated to use the new API. There is a minor change of behavior in test-getbundle.t. This is because `hg debuggetbundle` isn't defining bundlecaps. As a result, a cg1 data stream and unpacker is being produced. This is getting fed into a new bundle20 instance via bundle2.writebundle(), which uses a backchannel mechanism between changegroup generation to add the "nbchanges" part parameter. I never liked this backchannel mechanism and I plan to remove it someday. `hg bundle` still produces the "nbchanges" part parameter, so there should be no user-visible change of behavior. I consider this "regression" a bug in `hg debuggetbundle`. And that bug is captured by an existing "TODO" in the code to use bundle2 capabilities.

Fri, 14 Oct 2016 01:53:15 +0200 cmdutil: satisfy expections in dirstateguard.__del__, even if __init__ fails
Mads Kiilerich <madski@unity3d.com> [Fri, 14 Oct 2016 01:53:15 +0200] rev 30182
cmdutil: satisfy expections in dirstateguard.__del__, even if __init__ fails Python "delstructors" are terrible - this one because it assumed that __init__ had completed before it was called. That would not necessarily be the case if the repository was read only or broken and saving the dirstate thus failed in unexpected ways. That could give confusing warnings about missing '_active' after failures. To fix that, make sure all member variables are "declared" before doing anything that possibly could fail. [Famous last words.]
Fri, 14 Oct 2016 01:53:15 +0200 util: increase filechunkiter size to 128k
Mads Kiilerich <madski@unity3d.com> [Fri, 14 Oct 2016 01:53:15 +0200] rev 30181
util: increase filechunkiter size to 128k util.filechunkiter has been using a chunk size of 64k for more than 10 years, also in years where Moore's law still was a law. It is probably ok to bump it now and perhaps get a slight win in some cases. Also, largefiles have been using 128k for a long time. Specifying that size multiple times (or forgetting to do it) seems a bit stupid. Decreasing it to 64k also seems unfortunate. Thus, we will set the default chunksize to 128k and use the default everywhere.

revset: make follow() reject more than one start revisions Taking only the last revision is inconsistent because ancestors(set) follows all revisions given, and theoretically follow(startrev=set) == ancestors(set). I'm planning to add a support for multiple start revisions, but that won't fit to the 4.0 time frame. So reject multiple revisions now to avoid future BC. len(revs) might be slow if revs were large, but we don't care since a valid revs should have only one element.

Gregory Szorc <gregory.szorc@gmail.com> [Sat, 15 Oct 2016 17:10:53 -0700] rev 30177
bundle2: only emit compressed chunks if they have data This is similar to 58467204cac0. Not all calls into the compressor return compressed data, as the compressor may buffer compressed output internally. It is cheaper to check for empty chunks than to send empty chunks through the generator. When generating a gzip-v2 bundle of the mozilla-unified repo, this change results in 50,093 empty chunks not being sent through the generator (out of 1,902,996 total input chunks).

External libraries and extensions might do something similar. On Fedora 25 subversion-python-1.9.4-4.fc25.x86_64 will do just that (except the opposite) ... and it failed all subversion convert tests because demandimport was hiding that it didn't have builtins but should use __builtin__. The builtin module has already been imported when demandimport is loaded so there is no point in trying to import it on demand. Just always ignore both variants in demandimport.
Thu, 13 Oct 2016 12:50:27 +0200 changelog: disable delta chains
Gregory Szorc <gregory.szorc@gmail.com> [Thu, 13 Oct 2016 12:50:27 +0200] rev 30155
changelog: disable delta chains This patch disables delta chains on changelogs. After this patch, new entries on changelogs - including existing changelogs - will be stored as the fulltext of that data (likely compressed). No delta computation will be performed. An overview of delta chains and data justifying this change follows. Revlogs try to store entries as a delta against a previous entry (either a parent revision in the case of generaldelta or the previous physical revision when not using generaldelta). Most of the time this is the correct thing to do: it frequently results in less CPU usage and smaller storage. Delta chains are most effective when the base revision being deltad against is similar to the current data. This tends to occur naturally for manifests and file data, since only small parts of each tend to change with each revision. Changelogs, however, are a different story. Changelog entries represent changesets/commits. And unless commits in a repository are homogonous (same author, changing same files, similar commit messages, etc), a delta from one entry to the next tends to be relatively large compared to the size of the entry. This means that delta chains tend to be short. How short? Here is the full vs delta revision breakdown on some real world repos: Repo % Full % Delta Max Length hg 45.8 54.2 6 mozilla-central 42.4 57.6 8 mozilla-unified 42.5 57.5 17 pypy 46.1 53.9 6 python-zstandard 46.1 53.9 3 (I threw in python-zstandard as an example of a repo that is homogonous. It contains a small Python project with changes all from the same author.) Contrast this with the manifest revlog for these repos, where 99+% of revisions are deltas and delta chains run into the thousands. So delta chains aren't as useful on changelogs. But even a short delta chain may provide benefits. Let's measure that. Delta chains may require less CPU to read revisions if the CPU time spent reading smaller deltas is less than the CPU time used to decompress larger individual entries. We can measure this via `hg perfrevlog -c -d 1` to iterate a revlog to resolve each revision's fulltext. Here are the results of that command on a repo using delta chains in its changelog and on a repo without delta chains: hg (forward) ! wall 0.407008 comb 0.410000 user 0.410000 sys 0.000000 (best of 25) ! wall 0.390061 comb 0.390000 user 0.390000 sys 0.000000 (best of 26) hg (reverse) ! wall 0.515221 comb 0.520000 user 0.520000 sys 0.000000 (best of 19) ! wall 0.400018 comb 0.400000 user 0.390000 sys 0.010000 (best of 25) mozilla-central (forward) ! wall 4.508296 comb 4.490000 user 4.490000 sys 0.000000 (best of 3) ! wall 4.370222 comb 4.370000 user 4.350000 sys 0.020000 (best of 3) mozilla-central (reverse) ! wall 5.758995 comb 5.760000 user 5.720000 sys 0.040000 (best of 3) ! wall 4.346503 comb 4.340000 user 4.320000 sys 0.020000 (best of 3) mozilla-unified (forward) ! wall 4.957088 comb 4.950000 user 4.940000 sys 0.010000 (best of 3) ! wall 4.660528 comb 4.650000 user 4.630000 sys 0.020000 (best of 3) mozilla-unified (reverse) ! wall 6.119827 comb 6.110000 user 6.090000 sys 0.020000 (best of 3) ! wall 4.675136 comb 4.670000 user 4.670000 sys 0.000000 (best of 3) pypy (forward) ! wall 1.231122 comb 1.240000 user 1.230000 sys 0.010000 (best of 8) ! wall 1.164896 comb 1.160000 user 1.160000 sys 0.000000 (best of 9) pypy (reverse) ! wall 1.467049 comb 1.460000 user 1.460000 sys 0.000000 (best of 7) ! wall 1.160200 comb 1.170000 user 1.160000 sys 0.010000 (best of 9) The data clearly shows that it takes less wall and CPU time to resolve revisions when there are no delta chains in the changelogs, regardless of the direction of traversal. Furthermore, not using a delta chain means that fulltext resolution in reverse is as fast as iterating forward. So not using delta chains on the changelog is a clear CPU win for reading operations. An example of a user-visible operation showing this speed-up is revset evaluation. Here are results for `hg perfrevset 'author(gps) or author(mpm)'`: hg ! wall 1.655506 comb 1.660000 user 1.650000 sys 0.010000 (best of 6) ! wall 1.612723 comb 1.610000 user 1.600000 sys 0.010000 (best of 7) mozilla-central ! wall 17.629826 comb 17.640000 user 17.600000 sys 0.040000 (best of 3) ! wall 17.311033 comb 17.300000 user 17.260000 sys 0.040000 (best of 3) What about 00changelog.i size? Repo Delta Chains No Delta Chains hg 7,033,250 6,976,771 mozilla-central 82,978,748 81,574,623 mozilla-unified 88,112,349 86,702,162 pypy 20,740,699 20,659,741 The data shows that removing delta chains from the changelog makes the changelog smaller. Delta chains are also used during changegroup generation. This operation essentially converts a series of revisions to one large delta chain. And changegroup generation is smart: if the delta in the revlog matches what the changegroup is emitting, it will reuse the delta instead of recalculating it. We can measure the impact removing changelog delta chains has on changegroup generation via `hg perfchangegroupchangelog`: hg ! wall 1.589245 comb 1.590000 user 1.590000 sys 0.000000 (best of 7) ! wall 1.788060 comb 1.790000 user 1.790000 sys 0.000000 (best of 6) mozilla-central ! wall 17.382585 comb 17.380000 user 17.340000 sys 0.040000 (best of 3) ! wall 20.161357 comb 20.160000 user 20.120000 sys 0.040000 (best of 3) mozilla-unified ! wall 18.722839 comb 18.720000 user 18.680000 sys 0.040000 (best of 3) ! wall 21.168075 comb 21.170000 user 21.130000 sys 0.040000 (best of 3) pypy ! wall 4.828317 comb 4.830000 user 4.820000 sys 0.010000 (best of 3) ! wall 5.415455 comb 5.420000 user 5.410000 sys 0.010000 (best of 3) The data shows eliminating delta chains makes the changelog part of changegroup generation slower. This is expected since we now have to compute deltas for revisions where we could recycle the delta before. It is worth putting this regression into context of overall changegroup times. Here is the rough total CPU time spent in changegroup generation for various repos while using delta chains on the changelog: Repo CPU Time (s) CPU Time w/ compression hg 4.50 7.05 mozilla-central 111.1 222.0 pypy 28.68 75.5 Before compression, removing delta chains from the changegroup adds ~4.4% overhead to hg changegroup generation, 1.3% to mozilla-central, and 2.0% to pypy. When you factor in zlib compression, these percentages are roughly divided by 2. While the increased CPU usage for changegroup generation is unfortunate, I think it is acceptable because the percentage is small, server operators (those likely impacted most by this) have other mechanisms to mitigate CPU consumption (namely reducing zlib compression level and pre-generated clone bundles), and because there is room to optimize this in the future. For example, we could use the nullid as the base revision, effectively encoding the full revision for each entry in the changegroup. When doing this, `hg perfchangegroupchangelog` nearly halves: mozilla-unified ! wall 21.168075 comb 21.170000 user 21.130000 sys 0.040000 (best of 3) ! wall 11.196461 comb 11.200000 user 11.190000 sys 0.010000 (best of 3) This looks very promising as a future optimization opportunity. It's worth that the changes in test-acl.t to the changegroup part size. This is because revision 6 in the changegroup had a delta chain of length 2 before and after this patch the base revision is nullrev. When the base revision is nullrev, cg2packer.deltaparent() hardcodes the *previous* revision from the changegroup as the delta parent. This caused the delta in the changegroup to switch base revisions, the delta to change, and the size to change accordingly. While the size increased in this case, I think sizes will remain the same on average, as the delta base for changelog revisions doesn't matter too much (as this patch shows). So, I don't consider this a regression.

Thu, 13 Oct 2016 12:49:47 +0200 changegroup: document deltaparent's choice of previous revision
Gregory Szorc <gregory.szorc@gmail.com> [Thu, 13 Oct 2016 12:49:47 +0200] rev 30153
changegroup: document deltaparent's choice of previous revision As part of debugging low-level changegroup generation, I came across what I initially thought was a weird behavior: changegroup v2 is choosing the previous revision in the changegroup as a delta base instead of p1. I was tempted to rewrite this to use p1, as p1 will delta better than prev in the common case. However, I realized that taking p1 as the base would potentially require resolving a revision fulltext and thus require more CPU for e.g. server-side processing of getbundle requests. This patch tweaks the code comment to note the choice of behavior. It also notes there is room for a flag or config option to tweak this behavior later: using p1 as the delta base would likely make changegroups smaller at the expense of more CPU, which could be beneficial for things like clone bundles.
Sun, 09 Oct 2016 03:11:18 +0200 help: backout f3c4edfd35e1 (mark boolean flags with [no-] in help) for now
Pierre-Yves David <pierre-yves.david@ens-lyon.org> [Sun, 09 Oct 2016 03:11:18 +0200] rev 30152
help: backout f3c4edfd35e1 (mark boolean flags with [no-] in help) for now The ability to negate any boolean flags itself is great, but I think we are not ready to expose the help side of it yet. First, while there exist a handful of such flags whose default value can be changed (eg: git diff, patchwork confirmation), there is only a few of them. The users who benefit the most from this change are alias users and large installation that can deploy extension to change behavior (eg: facebook tweakdefault). So the majority of user who will be affected by a large change to command help that is not yet relevant to them. (I expect this to become relevant when ui.progressive start to exists). Below is an example of the impact of the new help on 'hg help diff': -r --rev REV [+] revision -c --change REV change made by revision -a --[no-]text treat all files as text -g --[no-]git use git extended diff format --[no-]nodates omit dates from diff headers --[no-]noprefix omit a/ and b/ prefixes from filenames -p --[no-]show-function show which function each change is in --[no-]reverse produce a diff that undoes the changes -w --[no-]ignore-all-space ignore white space when comparing lines -b --[no-]ignore-space-change ignore changes in the amount of white space -B --[no-]ignore-blank-lines ignore changes whose lines are all blank -U --unified NUM number of lines of context to show --[no-]stat output diffstat-style summary of changes --root DIR produce diffs relative to subdirectory -I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns -X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns -S --[no-]subrepos recurse into subrepositories Another issue with the current state of help, the default value for the flag is not conveyed to the user. For example in the 'backout' help, there is no real distinction between "--[no-]backup" (default to True) and "--[no-]keep" (default) to False: --[no-]backup no backups --[no-]keep do not modify working directory during strip In addition, I've discussed with Augie Fackler and the last batch of the work on this have burned him out quite some. Therefore he is not intending to perform any more work on this topic. Quoting him, he would rather see the help part backed out than spending more time on it. I do not think we are ready to expose this to users in 4.0 (freeze in a week), especially because we cannot expect quick improvement on these aspect as this topic no longer have an owner. We should be able to reintroduce that change in the future when someone get back on it and the main issues are solves: * Introduction of ui.progressive makes it relevant for a majority of user, * Current default value are efficiently conveyed to the user. (In addition, the excerpt from diff help show that we still have some issue with some negative option like '--nodates' so further improvement are probably welcome there.)

copy: distinguish "file exists" cases and add a hint (BC) Users that want to add a copy record to an existing commit with 'hg commit --amend' should be guided towards this workflow, rather than reaching for some sort of uncommit-recommit flow. As part of this, distinguish in the top-line error message whether the file merely already exists (untracked) on disk or the file already exists in history. The full list of copy and rename cases and how they interact with flags are listed below: target exists --after --force | action n n * | copy n y * | (1) untracked n n | (4) NEWHINT untracked n y | (3) untracked y * | (2) y n n | (4) NEWHINT y n y | (3) y y n | (2) y y y | (3) deleted n n | copy deleted n y | (3) deleted y n | (1) deleted y y | (1) * = don't care (1) <src>: not recording move - <target> does not exist (2) preserve target contents (3) replace target contents (4) <target>: not overwriting - file {exists,already committed} Credit to Kevin for wholly rewriting my table to cover more cases we discovered at the sprint. I think this change gets the hints correct in all cases, but I'd appreciate close inspection of the test cases to make sure I haven't gotten turned around in here.

perf: make perftags clear tags cache correctly Before this patch, "hg perftags" command doesn't measure performance of "repo.tags()" correctly, because it doesn't clear tags cache correctly. 9dca7653b525 replaced repo._tags with repo._tagscache, but didn't change the code path to clear tags cache in perftags() at that time. BTW, full history of "tags cache" is: - d7df759d0e97 (or 0.6) introduced repo.tagscache as the first "tags cache" - 5614a628d173 (or 1.4) replaced repo.tagscache with repo._tags - 9dca7653b525 (or 2.0) replaced repo._tags with repo._tagscache - 98c867ac1330 (or 2.5) made repo._tagscache filteredpropertycache To make perftags clear tags cache correctly, and to increase "historical portability" of perftags, this patch examines existence of attributes in repo object, and guess appropriate procedure to clear tags cache. To avoid examining existence of attributes at each repetition, this patch makes repocleartagscachefunc() return the function, which actually clears tags cache. mozilla-central repo (85 tags on 308365 revs) with each Mercurial version between before and after this patch. ==== ========= ========= ver before after ==== ========= ========= 1.9 0.476062 0.466464 ------- *1 ------- 2.0 0.346309 0.458327 2.1 0.343106 0.454489 ------- *2 ------- 2.2 0.069790 0.071263 2.3 0.067829 0.069340 2.4 0.068075 0.069573 ------- *3 ------- 2.5 0.021896 0.022406 2.6 0.021900 0.022374 2.7 0.021883 0.022379 2.8 0.021949 0.022327 2.9 0.021877 0.022330 3.0 0.021860 0.022314 3.1 0.021869 0.022669 3.2 0.021831 0.022668 3.3 0.021809 0.022691 3.4 0.021861 0.022916 3.5 0.019335 0.020749 3.6 0.019319 0.020866 3.7 0.018781 0.020251 ------- *4 ------- 3.8 0.068262 0.072558 3.9 0.069682 0.073773 ==== ========= ========= (*1) repo._tags was replaced with repo._tagscache at this point "repo._tags = None" in perftags "before" this patch doesn't clear tags cache for Mercurial 2.0 or later.

perf: replace ui.configint() by getint() for Mercurial earlier than 1.9 Before this patch, using ui.configint() prevents perf.py from measuring performance with Mercurial earlier than 1.9 (or fa2b596db182), because ui.configint() isn't available in such Mercurial, even though there are some code paths for Mercurial earlier than 1.9 in perf.py. For example, setting "_prereadsize" attribute in perfindex() and perfnodelookup() is effective only with hg earlier than 1.8 (or 61c9bc3da402). This patch replaces ui.configint() invocations by newly introduced getint(). This patch also adds check-perf-code.py an extra check entry to detect direct usage of ui.configint() in perf.py. BTW, this patch doesn't choose adding configint() method at runtime by replacing ui.__class__ like below, even though this is the recommended way to modern Mercurial extensions. def uisetup(ui): if not util.safehasattr(ui, 'configint'): class uiwrap(ui.__class__): def configint(self, section, name, ....): .... ui.__class__ = uiwrap Because changes to ui.__class__ by uisetup() of loaded extension have been propagated since 1.6.1 (or d8d0fc3988ca), the recommended way above doesn't work as expected with Mercurial earlier than it.

For example, setting "_prereadsize" attribute in perfindex() and perfnodelookup() is effective only with hg earlier than 1.8 (or 61c9bc3da402). To get appropriate vfs-like object to access files under .hg/store, this patch adds getsvfs() (and also getvfs(), for future use). To avoid examining existence of attribute at each repetition while measuring performance, getsvfs() is invoked outside the function to be called repeatedly.

Sun, 09 Oct 2016 01:03:17 +0900 perf: avoid actual writing branch cache out correctly
FUJIWARA Katsunori <foozy@lares.dti.ne.jp> [Sun, 09 Oct 2016 01:03:17 +0900] rev 30145
perf: avoid actual writing branch cache out correctly Mercurial 2.5 (or 9b6ae29d4801) introduced "perfbranchmap" command, and tried to avoid actual writing branch cache out by replacing write() of branchcache class in branchmap.py with no-op function (probably, for elimination of noisy and heavy file I/O factor). But its implementation isn't correct, because 9b6ae29d4801 replaced not branchmap.branchcache.write() but branchmap.write(). The latter doesn't exist, even at that change. To avoid actual writing branch cache out correctly, this patch replaces branchmap.branchcache.write() with no-op function. To detect mistake of replacement or change of API in the future quickly, this patch uses safeattrsetter() instead of direct attribute assignment. For similarity between replacements, this patch also changes replacement of branchmap.read(). In this patch, replacement of read()/write() can run safely outside "try" block, because two safeattrsetter() invocations ensure that replacement doesn't cause exception. FYI, the table below compares "base" filter wall time of perfbranchmap on recent mozilla-central repo with each Mercurial version between before and after this patch. ==== ========= ========= ver before after ==== ========= ========= 2.5 18.492334 18.232455 2.6 18.733858 18.156702 2.7 18.245598 18.349210 2.8 18.289070 18.528422 2.9 17.572742 16.989655 3.0 17.406953 17.615012 3.1 17.228419 17.689805 3.2 17.862961 17.718367 3.3 2.632110 2.707960 3.4 3.285683 3.272060 3.5 3.370141 3.352176 3.6 3.366939 3.242455 3.7 3.300778 3.367328 3.8 3.300132 3.267298 3.9 3.418996 3.370265 ==== ========= ========= IMHO, there is no serious overlooking performance regression.

perf: introduce safeattrsetter to replace direct attribute assignment Referring not-existing attribute immediately causes failure, but assigning a value to such attribute doesn't. For example, perf.py has code paths below, which assign a value to not-existing attribute. This causes incorrect performance measurement, but these code paths are executed successfully. - "repo._tags = None" in perftags() recent Mercurial has tags cache information in repo._tagscache - "branchmap.write = lambda repo: None" in perfbranchmap() branchmap cache is written out by branchcache.write() in branchmap.py "util.safehasattr() before assignment" can avoid this issue, but might increase mistake at "copy & paste" attribute name or so. To centralize (1) examining existence of, (2) assigning a value to, and (3) restoring an old value to the attribute, this patch introduces safeattrsetter(). This is used to replace direct attribute assignment in subsequent patches. Encapsulation of restoring is needed to completely remove direct attribute assignment from perf.py, even though restoring isn't needed so often.

It can make a difference if someone should try to handle largefiles differently, such as marking them read-only. Thus, do similar to what utils.setflags does and set the X bit where there are R bits and obey umask.

eol: on update, only re-check files if filtering changed Before, update would mark all files as 'normallookup' in dirstate if .hgeol changed so all files would get the new filtering applied. That takes some time ... and is pointless if the filtering for that file didn't change. Instead, keep track of the old filtering and only check files where the filtering is changed. To keep the old filtering, change to write the applied .hgeol content to .hg/eol.cache instead of just touching it. That change is backwards/forwards compatible. In a real world test, this takes an update that is changing .hgeol and 30000 files from 12s to 4s - where the remaining eol overhead is 1-2s.
