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.

tests: add a few tests involving --collapse and rebase.singletransaction=1 I'm about to change the rebase code quite a bit and this was poorly tested. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2757

tests: simplify test-rebase-transaction.t The file was extracted from test-rebase-base.t in 8cef8f7d51d0 (test-rebase-base: clarify it is about the "--base" flag, 2017-10-05).

hgweb: parse and store HTTP request headers WSGI transmits HTTP request headers as HTTP_* environment variables. We teach our parser about these and hook up a dict-like data structure that supports case insensitive header manipulation. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2742

wireprotoserver: remove broken optimization for non-httplib client There was an experimental non-httplib client in core for several years. It was removed a week or so ago. We kept the optimization for this client in the server code. I'm not sure if that was intended or not. But it doesn't matter: the code was wrong. Because the code was accessing a WSGI environment dict, it needed to access the HTTP_X_HGHTTP2 key to actually read the HTTP header. So the code deleted by this commit wasn't actually doing anything meaningful. Doh. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2741

wireprotoserver: move all wire protocol handling logic out of hgweb Previous patches from several days ago worked to isolate processing of HTTP wire protocol requests to wireprotoserver. We still had a little logic in hgweb. If feels like the right time to finish the job. This commit moves WSGI request servicing from hgweb to wireprotoserver. The ugly dict holding the parsed request is no more. I think the new code is cleaner. As part of this, we now process wire protocol requests before the block to obtain the "query" variable. This makes it clear that this wonky "query" variable is not used by the wire protocol. The wonkiest part about this code is the HTTP 404. I'm actually not sure what all is going on here. It looks like the code is trying to prevent URL with path components that specify a command from not working. That part I grok. What I don't grok is why we need to send a 404. I would think it would be OK to no-op and let another handler try to service the request. But if we do this, we get some subrepo test failures. So it looks like something is expecting the HTTP 404 and reacting to it in a specific way. It /might/ be possible to change the behavior here. But it isn't something I'm comfortable doing because I don't understand the problem space. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2740

hgweb: use parsed request to construct query parameters The way hgweb routes requests is kind of bonkers. If PATH_INFO is set, we take the URL path after the repository. Otherwise, we take the first part of the query string before "&" and the part before ";" in that. We then kinda/sorta treat this as a path and route based on that. This commit ports that code to use the parsed request object. This required a new attribute on the parsed request to indicate whether there is any PATH_INFO. The new code still feels a bit convoluted for my liking. But we'll need to rewrite more of the code before a better solution becomes apparant. This code feels strictly better since we're no longer doing low-level WSGI manipulation during routing. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2739
