2016-01-08pkgCacheGenerator::StoreString: Move the string into the mapJulian Andres Klode
Moving the string is likely faster than copying it. We could probably avoid strings alltogether in the future using some more crazy code, but I have not looked at that yet. Gbp-Dch: ignore

2016-01-07Switch performance critical code to use APT::StringViewJulian Andres Klode
This improves performance of the cache generation on my ARM platform (4x Cortex A15) by about 10% to 20% from 2.35-2.50 to 2.1 seconds.
2016-01-07Introduce internal APT::StringView classJulian Andres Klode
The class APT::StringView implements a drop-in replacement for a subset of C++17 std::string_view() features. It will be dropped at a later point and may not be used in public interfaces.
2016-01-07rred: Run in parallelJulian Andres Klode
Remove the SingleInstance flag so we can use the new randomized queue feature to run parallel.
2016-01-07acquire: Allow parallelizing methods without hostsJulian Andres Klode
The maximum parallelization soft limit is the number of CPU cores * 2 on systems defining _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN. The hard limit in all cases is Acquire::QueueHost::Limit.
2016-01-07CopyFile: Use 64 * 1024 instead of 64000 as buffer sizeJulian Andres Klode
This is a multiple of the page size and thus results in less page faults, speeding up copying. Also, while we're at at, unify all uses of that size in a constant variable APT_BUFFER_SIZE.
2016-01-07apt-helper: cat-file: Add -C/--compress optionJulian Andres Klode
This allows passing compressing the output. The compressor must be a compressor name, extension, or an extension without the leading dot.
2016-01-07FileFd: (native) LZ4 supportJulian Andres Klode
Implement native support for LZ4 compression, using the official lz4 library.
2016-01-07travis: pull liblz4-dev from wilyJulian Andres Klode
2016-01-05Do not remove a not working SrvRecords server twiceMichael Vogt
The PopFromSrvRecs() already removed the entry from the active list, so the extra SrvRecords.erase() was incorrect. Git-Dch: ignore

2016-01-03Increase APT::Cache-HashTableSize default to 50503Julian Andres Klode
This drop the hash table utilization from a high 98% to acceptable 74% on unstable, and the average bucket length from 4.6 to 1.8. This improves performance by about 5%, while increasing the size of the cache by 0.2 out of 38MB, that is 0.5%. 48481 is a nice number
2016-01-03apt-cache: stats: Show a table utilization as percentageJulian Andres Klode
Gbp-Dch: ignore
2016-01-03apt-cache: stats: Average is over used, not all, bucketsJulian Andres Klode
It does not make sense to consider empty buckets in the average, as they do not affect the lookup performance.
2016-01-03Allow building without libgtest-dev under <nocheck> build profileHelmut Grohne
I'd like to avoid pulling libgtest-dev into the bootstrap set. Fortunately, libgtest-dev is only used for testing apt and apt correctly implements DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck now. So this bug is about getting rid of the Build-Depends. Simply removing it (by adding a build profile) is not sufficient however as configure fails hard, so an additional bit is necessary to cover for that. Closes: #809726
2016-01-03Change compressor costs to be 100 apartJulian Andres Klode
This will give us the freedom to insert more compressors at positions in between. Also change the cost of uncompressed to 0, as that really has no overhead, and the values do not really mean much.
2016-01-03simple_compressor: Provide some accessors for end and freeJulian Andres Klode
This makes code easier to read, and somewhat more correct. Gbp-Dch: ignore
2016-01-03simple_buffer: Allow buffer size to changeJulian Andres Klode
Gbp-Dch: ignore
2016-01-03prepare-release: travis: Ignore build profiles in build-dependsJulian Andres Klode
This aids our introduction of lz4, which we do not want to impose as an additional requirement for bootstrappers. Gbp-Dch: ignore
2016-01-02Add new APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages optionMichael Vogt
This option controls if downloaded packages should be kept after a successful install or if they should be deleted. The default for "apt-get" is that they are kept (just like before). However the default for "apt" is that they get deleted. Closes: #160743
2016-01-02Add bash-completion support for the "apt" commandMichael Vogt
The apt bash-completion support was submited to the bash-completion package as a patch in May 2014. It is still not included to this date and because it is an important feature for many users it is now part of apt until the bash-completion package is mantained more actively again. Note that the "Relaces" line is only required for Ubuntu it will have no effect on Debian. Closes: #747094
2016-01-02Add support for APT::Periodic::CleanIntervalMichael Vogt
In order to allow regular cleaning of the downloaded deb archives the new option APT::Periodic::CleanInterval is added. It will run "apt-get clean" in the given time interval. Thanks: Martin-Éric Racine
2016-01-02properly parse comments in apt_preferences and deb822-style sourcesDavid Kalnischkies
apt_preferences and deb822-style sources used the specialized class pkgUserTagSection to deal with comments before/after a given stanza, but it couldn't deal with comments in the stanza at all. codesearch suggests that nobody else does and a vastely superior way of working with potentially commented files is implemented now, so we can officially discourage the use of the old incomplete hack class.
2016-01-02support comments in debian/control parsingDavid Kalnischkies
Now (55153bf94ff28a23318e79aa48242244c4d82b3c) that pkgTagFile can be told to deal with all sorts of comments we can use this mode to parse dsc (as by catch) and debian/control files properly even in the wake of multiline fields spliced with comments like Build-Depends. Closes: 806775
2016-01-02add optional support for comments in pkgTagFileDavid Kalnischkies
APT usually deals with perfectly formatted files generated automatically be other programs – and as it has to parse multiple MBs of such files it tries to be fast rather than forgiving. This was always a problem if we reused this parser for files with a deb822 syntax which are mostly written by hand however, like apt_preferences or the deb822-style sources as these can include stray newlines and more importantly comments all over the place. As a stopgap we had pkgUserTagSection which deals at least with comments before and after a given stanza, but comments in between weren't really supported and now that we support parsing debian/control for e.g. build-dep we face the full comment problem e.g. with comments inbetween multi-line fields (like Build-Depends). We can't easily deal with this on the pkgTagSection level as the interface gives access to 'raw' char-pointers for performance reasons so we would need to optionally add a buffer here on which we could remove comments to hand out pointers into this buffer instead. The interface is quite large already and supports writing stanzas as well, which does not support comments at all either. So while in future it might make sense to have a parser setup which deals with and keeps comments in this commit we opt for the simpler solution for now: We officially declare that pkgTagSection does not support comments and instead expect the caller to deal with them, which in our case is pkgTagFile: pkgTagFile is extended with an additional mode which can deal with comments by dropping them from the buffer which will later form the input of pkgTagSection. The actual implementation is slightly more complex than this sentence suggests at first on one hand to have good performance and on the other to allow jumping directly to stanzas with offsets collected in a previous run (like our cache generation does it for example).

2015-12-29Do not sync the cache fileJulian Andres Klode
Integrity is taken care of by the checksum now.
2015-12-29Add support for calculating hashes over the entire cacheJulian Andres Klode
2015-12-29pkgCacheGenerator: Allow passing down an already created cacheJulian Andres Klode
If we already have opened a cache, there is no point in having to open it again.
2015-12-29pkgTagSection::Scan: Fix read of uninitialized valueJulian Andres Klode
We ignored the boundary of the buffer we were reading in while scanning for spaces.
2015-12-29strutl.cc: Add declarations for the compat _ascii() functionsJulian Andres Klode
This shuts up gcc Gbp-Dch: ignore
2015-12-29Fix test case that was broken by switch of hash functionJulian Andres Klode
This test relies on the ordering of the hash function.
2015-12-29Turn tolower_ascii() and isspace_ascii() into inline functionsJulian Andres Klode
To preserve compatibility, the new inline functions have _inline as a suffix, and a macro defines the old names to refer to the inline variants. The old functions are still preserved for binary compatibility. Also simplify the implementation of both functions.
2015-12-29Switch to DJB hashing and use prime number as table sizeJulian Andres Klode
On my testing system, consisting of unstable and experimental, this reduces the average chain from 6.5 to 4.5, and the longest chain from 17 to 15.
2015-12-28BufferedFileFdPrivate: Make InternalFlush() save against errorsJulian Andres Klode
Previously, if flush errored inside the loop, data could have already been written to the wrapped descriptor without having been removed from the buffer. Also try to work around EINTR here. A better solution might be to have the individual privates detect an interrupt and return 0 in such a case, instead of relying on errno being untouched in between the syscall and the return from InternalWrite.
2015-12-28aptconfiguration: Set default compression level to 6Julian Andres Klode
Since commit 7a68effcb904b4424b54a30e448b6f2560cd1078, the xz and lzma compressors read the level of compression they shall use. A default of -9 is too much for them, this will use 674 MB, according to the xz manual page. Level -6 on the other hand only needs 94 MB memory for compression. This causes autopkgtest failures in the test-compressed-indexes test, as not enough memory exists to proceed. Change the other compression levels to 6 as well: The gzip and bzip2 FileFd backends do not read them, and use their code's default level which is 6, so do the same for external methods.
2015-12-28apt-helper: Use CopyFile() for concatenating the filesJulian Andres Klode
There's no point in keeping using yet another read-then-write loop. Gbp-Dch: ignore
2015-12-28BufferedWriter: flushing: Check for written < size instead of <=Julian Andres Klode
This avoids some issues with InternalWrite returning 0 because it just cannot write stuff at the moment.

2015-12-27deal with empty values properly in deb822 parserDavid Kalnischkies
Regression introduced in 8710a36a01c0cb1648926792c2ad05185535558e, but such fields are unlikely in practice as it is just as simple to not have a field at all with the same result of not having a value. Closes: 808102

2015-12-27allow repositories to forbid arch:all for specific index targetsDavid Kalnischkies
Debian has a Packages file for arch:all already, but the arch:any files contain arch:all packages as well, so downloading it would be a total waste of resources. Getting this solved is on the list of things to do, but it is also the hardest part – for index targets like Contents the situation is much easier and less server/client implementations are involved so we might not want to stall them. A repository can now declare via: No-Support-for-Architecture-all: Packages that even if an arch:all Packages exists, it shouldn't be downloaded, so that support for Contents files can be added now. See also 1dd20368486820efb6ef4476ad739e967174bec4 for the implementation of downloading arch:all index targets, which this is limiting. The field uses the name of the target from the apt configuration for simplicity and is negative by design as this field is intended to be supported/needed only for a "short" time (one or two Debian releases). While this commit theoretically supports any target, its expected to only see "Packages" as a value in reality.
