Jeff Hostetler 8c4b7503d0 preload-index: log the number of lstat calls to trace2
Report the total number of calls made to lstat() inside preload_index().

FSMonitor improves the performance of commands like `git status` by
avoiding scanning the disk for changed files.  This can be seen in
`preload_index()`.  Let's measure this.

Johannes Schindelin b5a8169752 mark_fsmonitor_valid(): mark the index as changed if needed
Without this bug fix, t7519's four "status doesn't detect unreported
modifications" test cases would fail occasionally (and, oddly enough,
*a lot* more frequently on Windows).

The reason is that these test cases intentionally use the side effect of
`git status` to re-write the index if any updates were detected: they
first clean the worktree, run `git status` to update the index as well
as show the output to the casual reader, then make the worktree dirty
again and expect no changes to reported if running with a mocked
fsmonitor hook.

The problem with this strategy was that the index was written during
said `git status` on the clean worktree for the *wrong* reason: not
because the index was marked as changed (it wasn't), but because the
recorded mtimes were racy with the index' own mtime.

As the mtime granularity on Windows is 100 nanoseconds (see e.g.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/SysInfo/file-times),
the mtimes of the files are often enough *not* racy with the index', so
that that `git status` call currently does not always update the index
(including the fsmonitor extension), causing the test case to fail.

The obvious fix: if we change *any* index entry's `CE_FSMONITOR_VALID`
flag, we should also mark the index as changed. That will cause the
index to be written upon `git status`, *including* an updated fsmonitor
extension.

Side note: Even though the reader might think that the t7519 issue
should be *much* more prevalent on Linux, given that the ext4 filesystem
(that seems to be used by every Linux distribution) stores mtimes in
nanosecond precision. However, ext4 uses `current_kernel_time()` (see
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/11599#comment762968_11599; it
is *amazingly* hard to find any proper source of information about such
ext4 questions) whose accuracy seems to depend on many factors but is
safely worse than the 100-nanosecond granularity of NTFS (again, it is
*horribly* hard to find anything remotely authoritative about this
question). So it seems that the racy index condition that hid the bug
fixed by this patch simply is a lot more likely on Linux than on
Windows. But not impossible ;-)

Normally pthread_create() rarely fails. But with new pthreads wrapper,
pthread_create() will return ENOSYS on a system without thread support.

Threaded code _is_ protected by HAVE_THREADS and pthread_create()

While at there, mark these strings for translation if they aren't.

Ben Peart 99ce720c33 speed up refresh_index() by utilizing preload_index()
Speed up refresh_index() by utilizing preload_index() to do most of the work
spread across multiple threads.  This works because most cache entries will
get marked CE_UPTODATE so that refresh_cache_ent() can bail out early when
called from within refresh_index().

On a Windows repo with ~200K files, this drops refresh times from 6.64
seconds to 2.87 seconds for a savings of 57%.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy ae9af12287 status: show progress bar if refreshing the index takes too long
Refreshing the index is usually very fast, but it can still take a
long time sometimes. Cold cache is one. Or copying a repo to a new
place (*). It's good to show something to let the user know "git
status" is not hanging, it's just busy doing something.

(*) In this case, all stat info in the index becomes invalid and git
    falls back to rehashing all file content to see if there's any
    difference between updating stat info in the index. This is quite
    expensive. Even with a repo as small as git.git, it takes 3
    seconds.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy c46c406ae1 trace.h: support nested performance tracing
Performance measurements are listed right now as a flat list, which is
fine when we measure big blocks. But when we start adding more and
more measurements, some of them could be just part of a bigger
measurement and a flat list gives a wrong impression that they are
executed at the same level instead of nested.

Add trace_performance_enter() and trace_performance_leave() to allow
indent these nested measurements. For now it does not help much
because the only nested thing is (lazy) name hash initialization
(e.g. called in diff-index from "git status"). This will help more
because I'm going to add some more tracing that's actually nested.

Ben Peart 883e248b8a fsmonitor: teach git to optionally utilize a file system monitor to speed up detecting new or changed files.
When the index is read from disk, the fsmonitor index extension is used
to flag the last known potentially dirty index entries. The registered
core.fsmonitor command is called with the time the index was last
updated and returns the list of files changed since that time. This list
is used to flag any additional dirty cache entries and untracked cache
directories.

We can then use this valid state to speed up preload_index(),
ie_match_stat(), and refresh_cache_ent() as they do not need to lstat()
files to detect potential changes for those entries marked
CE_FSMONITOR_VALID.

In addition, if the untracked cache is turned on valid_cached_dir() can
skip checking directories for new or changed files as fsmonitor will
invalidate the cache only for those directories that have been
identified as having potential changes.

To keep the CE_FSMONITOR_VALID state accurate during git operations;
when git updates a cache entry to match the current state on disk,
it will now set the CE_FSMONITOR_VALID bit.

Inversely, anytime git changes a cache entry, the CE_FSMONITOR_VALID bit
is cleared and the corresponding untracked cache directory is marked
invalid.

By default, the preload index code path doesn't run unless there is a
minimum of 1000 files. To enable running the test suite and having it
execute the preload-index path, add an environment variable
(GIT_FORCE_PRELOAD_TEST) which will override that minimum and set it to 2.

This enables you run existing tests and have the core.preloadindex code
path execute as long as the test has at least 2 files by setting
GIT_FORCE_PRELOAD_TEXT=1 before running the test.

Jeff Hostetler e596acc23a preload-index: avoid lstat for skip-worktree items
Teach preload-index to avoid lstat() calls for index-entries
with skip-worktree bit set.  This is a performance optimization.

During a sparse-checkout, the skip-worktree bit is set on items
that were not populated and therefore are not present in the
worktree.  The per-thread preload-index loop performs a series
of tests on each index-entry as it attempts to compare the
worktree version with the index and mark them up-to-date.
This patch short-cuts that work.

On a Windows 10 system with a very large repo (450MB index)
and various levels of sparseness, performance was improved
in the {preloadindex=true, fscache=false} case by 80% and
in the {preloadindex=true, fscache=true} case by 20% for various
commands.

Junio C Hamano 125fd98434 Make ce_uptodate() trustworthy again
The rule has always been that a cache entry that is ce_uptodate(ce)
means that we already have checked the work tree entity and we know
there is no change in the work tree compared to the index, and nobody
should have to double check.  Note that false ce_uptodate(ce) does not
mean it is known to be dirty---it only means we don't know if it is
clean.

There are a few codepaths (refresh-index and preload-index are among
them) that mark a cache entry as up-to-date based solely on the return
value from ie_match_stat(); this function uses lstat() to see if the
work tree entity has been touched, and for a submodule entry, if its
HEAD points at the same commit as the commit recorded in the index of
the superproject (a submodule that is not even cloned is considered
clean).

A submodule is no longer considered unmodified merely because its HEAD
matches the index of the superproject these days, in order to prevent
people from forgetting to commit in the submodule and updating the
superproject index with the new submodule commit, before commiting the
state in the superproject.  However, the patch to do so didn't update
the codepath that marks cache entries up-to-date based on the updated
definition and instead worked it around by saying "we don't trust the
return value of ce_uptodate() for submodules."

This makes ce_uptodate() trustworthy again by not marking submodule
entries up-to-date.

The next step _could_ be to introduce a few "in-core" flag bits to
cache_entry structure to record "this entry is _known_ to be dirty",
call is_submodule_modified() from ie_match_stat(), and use these new
bits to avoid running this rather expensive check more than once, but
that can be a separate patch.

Linus Torvalds 7c4ea599b0 Fix index preloading for racy dirty case
In the threaded index preloading case, we must be sure to always use the
CE_MATCH_RACY_IS_DIRTY flag when calling ie_match_stat(), in order to make
sure that we only ever look at the stat() data, and don't try to do
anything fancy.

Because most of git internals are not thread-safe, and must not be called
in parallel.

Otherwise, what happens is that if the timestamps indicate that an entry
_might_ be dirty, we might start actually comparing filesystem data with
the object database. And we mustn't do that, because that would involve
looking up and creating the object structure, and that whole code sequence
with read_sha1_file() where we look up and add objects to the hashes is
definitely not thread-safe.

Nor do we want to add locking, because the whole point of the preload was
to be simple and not affect anything else. With CE_MATCH_RACY_IS_DIRTY, we
get what we wanted, and we'll just leave the hard cases well alone, to be
done later in the much simpler serial case.
