wix: add functionality to inject additional Features into installer This is the last bit required to be able to glue extra configs etc into the installer. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6180

wix: add support for additional wxs files As with my previous change for an --extra-prebuiild-script, I'm assuming this is predominantly useful in an enterprise environment and am only adding this to wix and not also to inno install scripts. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6179

wix: add a hook for a prebuild script to inject extra libraries I need this to build packages for Google so we can bundle some extensions in the installed image. My assumption is that this is most interesting for the .msi images so I only wired it up there. I'm not thrilled with the interface this provides, but it was an easy way to retain debug messages on Windows while also having enough structure to know what lines are actually module names for py2exe. Still pending on my end: I need to bundle a couple of config files, and at least one data file. I'm open to advice on how to do those things, and how to do this better.

compression: introduce an official `format.revlog-compression` option This option supersedes the `experiment.format.compression` option. The value currently supported are zlib (default) and zstd (if Mercurial was compiled with zstd support). The option gained an explicit reference to `revlog` since this is the target usage here. Different storage methods might require different compression strategies. In our tests, using zstd give a significant CPU usage improvement (both compression and decompressing) while keeping similar repository size. Zstd as other interresting mode (dictionnary, pre-text, etc…) that are probably worth exploring. However, just plain switching from zlib to zstd provide a large benefit.

compression: display compression level in debugformat Now that we have options to control the compression level, we teach `hg debugformat` about them. This is a useful information when comparing repositories. Note that we have no trace of the compression level used to store existing deltas. Actually, it would even varies from one delta to another. So we display the currently set value.

compression: introduce a `storage.revlog.zstd.level` configuration This option control the zstd compression level used when compressing revlog chunk. The usage of zstd for revlog compression has not graduated from experimental yet, but we intend to fix that soon. The option name for the compression level is more straight forward to pick, so this changesets comes first. Having a dedicated option for each compression engine is useful because they don't support the same range of values. I ran the same measurement as for the zlib compression level (in the parent changesets). The variation in repository size is stay mostly in the same (small) range. The "read/write" performance see smallish variation, but are overall much better than zlib. Write performance show the same tend of having better write performance for when reaching high-end compression. Again, we don't intend to change the default zstd compression level (currently: 3) in this series. However this is worth investigating in the future. The Performance comparison of zlib vs zstd is quite impressive. The repository size stay in the same range, but the performance are much better in all situations. Comparison summary ================== We are looking at: - performance range for zlib - performance range for zstd - comparison of default zstd (level-3) to default zlib (level 6) - comparison of the slowest zstd time to the fastest zlib time Read performance: ----------------- | zlib | zstd | cmp | f2s mercurial | 0.170159 - 0.189219 | 0.144127 - 0.149624 | 80% | 88% pypy | 2.679217 - 2.768691 | 1.532317 - 1.705044 | 60% | 63% netbeans | 122.477027 - 141.620281 | 72.996346 - 89.731560 | 58% | 73% mozilla | 147.867662 - 170.572118 | 91.700995 - 105.853099 | 56% | 71% Write performance: ------------------ | zlib | zstd | cmp | f2s mercurial | 53.250304 - 56.2936129 | 40.877025 - 45.677286 | 75% | 86% pypy | 460.721984 - 476.589918 | 270.545409 - 301.002219 | 63% | 65% netbeans | 520.560316 - 715.930400 | 370.356311 - 428.329652 | 55% | 82% mozilla | 739.803002 - 987.056093 | 505.152906 - 591.930683 | 57% | 80% Raw data -------- repo alg lvl .hg/store size 00manifest.d read write mercurial zlib 1 49,402,813 5,963,475 0.170159 53.250304 mercurial zlib 6 47,197,397 5,875,730 0.182820 56.264320 mercurial zlib 9 47,121,596 5,849,781 0.189219 56.293612 mercurial zstd 1 49,737,084 5,966,355 0.144127 40.877025 mercurial zstd 3 48,961,867 5,895,208 0.146376 42.268142 mercurial zstd 5 48,200,592 5,938,676 0.149624 43.162875 mercurial zstd 10 47,833,520 5,913,353 0.145185 44.012489 mercurial zstd 15 47,314,604 5,728,679 0.147686 45.677286 mercurial zstd 20 47,330,502 5,830,539 0.145789 45.025407 mercurial zstd 22 47,330,076 5,830,539 0.143996 44.690460 pypy zlib 1 370,830,572 28,462,425 2.679217 460.721984 pypy zlib 6 340,112,317 27,648,747 2.768691 467.537158 pypy zlib 9 338,360,736 27,639,003 2.763495 476.589918 pypy zstd 1 362,377,479 27,916,214 1.532317 270.545409 pypy zstd 3 354,137,693 27,905,988 1.686718 294.951509 pypy zstd 5 342,640,043 27,655,774 1.705044 301.002219 pypy zstd 10 334,224,327 27,164,493 1.567287 285.186239 pypy zstd 15 329,000,363 26,645,965 1.637729 299.561332 pypy zstd 20 324,534,039 26,199,547 1.526813 302.149827 pypy zstd 22 324,530,595 26,198,932 1.525718 307.821218 netbeans zlib 1 1,281,847,810 165,495,457 122.477027 520.560316 netbeans zlib 6 1,205,284,353 159,161,207 139.876147 715.930400 netbeans zlib 9 1,197,135,671 155,034,586 141.620281 678.297064 netbeans zstd 1 1,259,581,737 160,840,613 72.996346 370.356311 netbeans zstd 3 1,232,978,122 157,691,551 81.622317 396.733087 netbeans zstd 5 1,208,034,075 160,246,880 83.080549 364.342626 netbeans zstd 10 1,188,624,176 156,083,417 79.323935 403.594602 netbeans zstd 15 1,176,973,589 153,859,477 89.731560 428.329652 netbeans zstd 20 1,162,958,258 151,147,535 82.842667 392.335349 netbeans zstd 22 1,162,707,029 151,150,220 82.565695 402.840655 mozilla zlib 1 2,775,497,186 298,527,987 147.867662 751.263721 mozilla zlib 6 2,596,856,420 286,597,671 170.572118 987.056093 mozilla zlib 9 2,587,542,494 287,018,264 163.622338 739.803002 mozilla zstd 1 2,723,159,348 286,617,532 91.700995 570.042751 mozilla zstd 3 2,665,055,001 286,152,013 95.240155 561.412805 mozilla zstd 5 2,607,819,817 288,060,030 101.978048 505.152906 mozilla zstd 10 2,558,761,085 283,967,648 104.113481 497.771202 mozilla zstd 15 2,526,216,060 275,581,300 105.853099 591.930683 mozilla zstd 20 2,485,114,806 266,478,859 95.268795 576.515389 mozilla zstd 22 2,484,869,080 266,456,505 94.429282 572.785537

compression: introduce a `storage.revlog.zlib.level` configuration This option control the zlib compression level used when compression revlog chunk. This is also a good excuse to pave the way for a similar configuration option for the zstd compression engine. Having a dedicated option for each compression algorithm is useful because they don't support the same range of values. Using a higher zlib compression impact CPU consumption at compression time, but does not directly affected decompression time. However dealing with small compressed chunk can directly help decompression and indirectly help other revlog logic. I ran some basic test on repositories using different level. I am using the mercurial, pypy, netbeans and mozilla-central clone from our benchmark suite. All tested repository use sparse-revlog and got all their delta recomputed. The different compression level has a small effect on the repository size (about 10% variation in the total range). My quick analysis is that revlog mostly store small delta, that are not affected by the compression level much. So the variation probably mostly comes from better compression of the snapshots revisions, and snapshot revision only represent a small portion of the repository content. I also made some basic timings measurements. The "read" timings are gathered using simple run of `hg perfrevlogrevisions`, the "write" timings using `hg perfrevlogwrite` (restricted to the last 5000 revisions for netbeans and mozilla central). The timings are gathered on a generic machine, (not one of our performance locked machine), so small variation might not be meaningful. However large trend remains relevant. Keep in mind that these numbers are not pure compression/decompression time. They also involve the full revlog logic. In particular the difference in chunk size has an impact on the delta chain structure, affecting performance when writing or reading them. On read/write performance, the compression level has a bigger impact. Counter-intuitively, the higher compression levels improve "write" performance for the large repositories in our tested setting. Maybe because the last 5000 delta chain end up having a very different shape in this specific spot? Or maybe because of a more general trend of better delta chains thanks to the smaller chunk and snapshot. This series does not intend to change the default compression level. However, these result call for a deeper analysis of this performance difference in the future.

compression: accept level management for zlib compression We update the zlib related class to be support setting the compression level. This changeset focus on updating the internal only. A way to configure this level will be introduced in the next changeset.

util: extract compression code in `mercurial.utils.compression` The code seems large enough to be worth extracting. This is similar to what was done for various module in `mercurial/utils/`. Since None of the compression logic takes a `ui` objet, issuing deprecation warning is tricky. Luckly the logic does not seems to have many external users.

merge: make "labels" argument to graft() optional, like it is for update() graft() just passes the argument on to update(), and update() doesn't require it, so graft() shouldn't either. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6175

shelve: let cmdutil.revert() take care of backing up untracked files cmdutil.revert() backs up untracked files, so I don't see a reason to do it shelve.mergefiles(). We have tests for this and they still pass. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6174

shelve: stop passing list of files to revert It seems to work just fine to not specify any files here. I suspect it looked the way it did for historical reasons. It apparently used to use merge instead of rebase until 1d7a36ff2615 (shelve: use rebase instead of merge (issue4068), 2013-10-23) and it makes sense to want to restrict the set of files then. I noticed this because of the files.extend(shelvectx.p1().files()). If the working copy was clean before, then shelvectx.p1() will be the working copy parent and that ended up adding all the files in that set. In our Google-internal Mercurial setup (including a FUSE) that was very noticeably slow when the working copy parent happened to have many files in large directories. This patch doesn't yet remove the call to shelvectx.p1().files(). We also use that set for deciding what to back up. I'm pretty sure it's safe to back up only the set of files we already back even if we no longer restrict the set of files to revert, so this patch should be safe on its own. Regardless, the next patch will delegate the backing-up to cmdutil.revert(). Incidentally, this also gets rid of a repo.pathto() that I had earlier wanted to get rid of.

remotefilelog: prefetch files in deterministic order I have been troubleshooting some slowness in this area (it's unclear if it's the client or server that's to blame, but that's beside the point) and it's a lot easier to do troubleshoot if the files are prefetched in the same order each time.

debugdiscovery: display time elapsed during the discovery step This is a useful information. Now that we perform more analysing after the discovery is done, it is worth have a more precise measurement. For serious timing analysis use `hg perfdiscovery`.

debugdiscovery: only list common heads on verbose The list of common heads is only part of the useful information. In addition on repository with many heads, the information is very not helpful (just fill a couple of screen with hash). As a result we hide it behind a --verbose flag.

debugdiscovery: drop duplicated information The old line informing about the local being a superset or subset of the remote is redundant with the newly introduced data. So we drop it.

debugdiscovery: display more statistic about the common set We display a lot more information now. Especially, we display the overlap between the common heads and the local/remote heads. There are various optimization geared toward heads, as a result, the less common the heads the more complex the discovery. Having this information easily accessible help when working on discovery.

debugdiscovery: small internal refactoring The part of the code displaying statistic is made independant from the one running the discovery. In the same do, the declaration of the discovery function is a bit simplified.

debugdiscovery: allow to select random seed during debugdiscovery run The randomness can lead to large timing difference, controling it is important.

discovery: move cl.hasnode outside of the for-loop IIUC, resolving attributes for changelog can lead to some overhead. So this patch moves that to outside of a for-loop. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6147

discovery: prevent recomputing info about server and outgoing changesets We already iterate over the outgoing.missing above and lookup repo for them.

Upcoming patches will clean things a bit more. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6144

crecord: draw on the whole screen When starting crecord, one can see that it has a small gap on the rightmost column which doesn't get used.

automation: perform tasks on remote machines Sometimes you don't have access to a machine in order to do something. For example, you may not have access to a Windows machine required to build Windows binaries or run tests on that platform. This commit introduces a pile of code intended to help "automate" common tasks, like building release artifacts. In its current form, the automation code provides functionality for performing tasks on Windows EC2 instances. The hgautomation.aws module provides functionality for integrating with AWS. It manages EC2 resources such as IAM roles, EC2 security groups, AMIs, and instances. The hgautomation.windows module provides a higher-level interface for performing tasks on remote Windows machines. The hgautomation.cli module provides a command-line interface to these higher-level primitives. I attempted to structure Windows remote machine interaction around Windows Remoting / PowerShell. This is kinda/sorta like SSH + shell, but for Windows. In theory, most of the functionality is cloud provider agnostic, as we should be able to use any established WinRM connection to interact with a remote. In reality, we're tightly coupled to AWS at the moment because I didn't want to prematurely add abstractions for a 2nd cloud provider. (1 was hard enough to implement.) In the aws module is code for creating an image with a fully functional Mercurial development environment. It contains VC9, VC2017, msys, and other dependencies. The image is fully capable of building all the existing Mercurial release artifacts and running tests. There are a few things that don't work. For example, running Windows tests with Python 3. But building the Windows release artifacts does work. And that was an impetus for this work. (Although we don't yet support code signing.) Getting this functionality to work was extremely time consuming. It took hours debugging permissions failures and other wonky behavior due to PowerShell Remoting. (The permissions model for PowerShell is crazy and you brush up against all kinds of issues because of the user/privileges of the user running the PowerShell and the permissions of the PowerShell session itself.) The functionality around AWS resource management could use some improving. In theory we support shared tenancy via resource name prefixing. In reality, we don't offer a way to configure this. Speaking of AWS resource management, I thought about using a tool like Terraform to manage resources. But at our scale, writing a few dozen lines of code to manage resources seemed acceptable. Maybe we should reconsider this if things grow out of control. Time will tell. Currently, emphasis is placed on Windows. But I only started there because it was likely to be the most difficult to implement. It should be relatively trivial to automate tasks on remote Linux machines. In fact, I have a ~1 year old script to run tests on a remote EC2 instance. I will likely be porting that to this new "framework" in the near future. # no-check-commit because foo_bar functions Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6142

contrib: PowerShell script to install development dependencies Configuring a Windows machine to hack on Mercurial is a bit of work and it isn't documented very well.

chistedit: change in-progress message Saying "running histedit" is an artifact of when chistedit was a separate thing from histedit. I found the message a bit confusing, since wasn't I running histedit from the beginning, just from the curses interface? The whole thing is now histedit, both the curses interface and the underlying procedure to apply a plan, so let's use a message that doesn't make a distinction.
