revlog: use an LRU cache for delta chain bases Profiling using statprof revealed a hotspot during changegroup application calculating delta chain bases on generaldelta repos. Essentially, revlog._addrevision() was performing a lot of redundant work tracing the delta chain as part of determining when the chain distance was acceptable. This was most pronounced when adding revisions to manifests, which can have delta chains thousands of revisions long. There was a delta chain base cache on revlogs before, but it only captured a single revision. This was acceptable before generaldelta, when _addrevision would build deltas from the previous revision and thus we'd pretty much guarantee a cache hit when resolving the delta chain base on a subsequent _addrevision call. However, it isn't suitable for generaldelta because parent revisions aren't necessarily the last processed revision. This patch converts the delta chain base cache to an LRU dict cache. The cache can hold multiple entries, so generaldelta repos have a higher chance of getting a cache hit. The impact of this change when processing changegroup additions is significant. On a generaldelta conversion of the "mozilla-unified" repo (which contains heads of the main Firefox repositories in chronological order - this means there are lots of transitions between heads in revlog order), this change has the following impact when performing an `hg unbundle` of an uncompressed bundle of the repo: before: 5:42 CPU time after: 4:34 CPU time Most of this time is saved when applying the changelog and manifest revlogs: before: 2:30 CPU time after: 1:17 CPU time That nearly a 50% reduction in CPU time applying changesets and manifests! Applying a gzipped bundle of the same repo (effectively simulating a `hg clone` over HTTP) showed a similar speedup: before: 5:53 CPU time after: 4:46 CPU time Wall time improvements were basically the same as CPU time. I didn't measure explicitly, but it feels like most of the time is saved when processing manifests. This makes sense, as large manifests tend to have very long delta chains and thus benefit the most from this cache. So, this change effectively makes changegroup application (which is used by `hg unbundle`, `hg clone`, `hg pull`, `hg unshelve`, and various other commands) significantly faster when delta chains are long (which can happen on repos with large numbers of files and thus large manifests). In theory, this change can result in more memory utilization. However, we're caching a dict of ints. At most we have 200 ints + Python object overhead per revlog. And, the cache is really only populated when performing read-heavy operations, such as adding changegroups or scanning an individual revlog. For memory bloat to be an issue, we'd need to scan/read several revisions from several revlogs all while having active references to several revlogs. I don't think there are many operations that do this, so I don't think memory bloat from the cache will be an issue.

Additional tricky linkrev case
------------------------------

If the first file revision after the diff base has a linkrev pointing to a
changeset on another branch with a revision lower that the diff base, we can
jump past the copy detection limit and fail to detect the rename.

  $ hg init diffstoplinkrev
  $ cd diffstoplinkrev

  $ touch f
  $ hg ci -Aqm 'empty f'

Make a simple change

  $ echo change > f
  $ hg ci -m 'change f'

Make a second branch, we use a named branch to create a simple commit
that does not touch f.

  $ hg up -qr 'desc(empty)'
  $ hg branch -q dev
  $ hg ci -Aqm dev

Graft the initial change, as f was untouched, we reuse the same entry and the
linkrev point to the older branch.

  $ hg graft -q 'desc(change)'

Make a rename because we want to track renames. It is also important that the
faulty linkrev is not the "start" commit to ensure the linkrev will be used.

  $ hg mv f renamed
  $ hg ci -m renamed

  $ hg log -G -T '{rev} {desc}'
  @  4 renamed
  |
  o  3 change f
  |
  o  2 dev
  |
  | o  1 change f
  |/
  o  0 empty f
  

The copy tracking should still reach rev 2 (branch creation).
accessing the parent of 4 (renamed) should not jump use to revision 1.
