2016-11-29Store tags in the cache (they are very useful :/).Jay Freeman (saurik)
2016-01-08Store the size of strings in the cacheJulian Andres Klode
By storing the size of the string in the cache, we can make use of it when comparing the names in the hashtable in pkgCache::FindGrp.
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.

2015-09-14do not report deprecate warnings for the None declarationDavid Kalnischkies
This is defined for compatibility, warning about it is intended, but only in places where it is actually used, rather than at the place we declare it for compatability… Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-09-14remove incorrect optimization branchesDavid Kalnischkies
These assumptions were once true, but they aren't anymore, so what is supposed to be a speed up is effectively a slowdown [not that it would be noticible]. Usage of SingleArchFindPkg was nuked in a stable update already as the included assumption was actually harmful btw, which is why we should get right of other 'non-harmful' but still untrue assumptions while we can. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-16Make pkgCache::Priority() static, it does not need the instanceJulian Andres Klode
It still compiles after the change, so just merge it. Closes: #448627
2015-08-12Drop the Section field from pkgCache::Package againJulian Andres Klode
This somehow got back, we don't really know why. Emulate the Section() method in the PkgIterator by looking at the section of the head of the VersionList.

Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10hide implicit deps in apt-cache again by defaultDavid Kalnischkies
Before MultiArch implicits weren't a thing, so they were hidden by default by definition. Adding them for MultiArch solved many problems, but having no reliable way of detecting which dependency (and provides) is implicit or not causes problems everytime we want to output dependencies without confusing our observers with unneeded implementation details. The really notworthy point here is actually that we keep now a better record of how a dependency came to be so that we can later reason about it more easily, but that is hidden so deep down in the library internals that change is more the problems it solves than the change itself.
2015-08-10use a smaller type for flags storage in the cacheDavid Kalnischkies
We store very few flags in the cache, so keeping storage space for 8 is enough for all of them and still leaves a few unused bits remaining for future extensions without wasting bytes for nothing. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10remove the compatibility markers for 4.13 abiDavid Kalnischkies
We aren't and we will not be really compatible again with the previous stable abi, so lets drop these markers (which never made it into a released version) for good as they have outlived their intend already. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10link DependencyData structs togetherDavid Kalnischkies
Cache generation needs a way of quickly iterating over the unique potion of the dependencies to be able to share them. By linking them together we can reduce the speed penality (~ 80%) with only a small reduction in saved size (~ 20%). Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10split-up Dependency structDavid Kalnischkies
Having dependency data separated from the link between version/package and the dependency allows use to work on sharing the depdency data a bit as it turns out that many dependencies are in fact duplicates. How many are duplicates various heavily with the sources configured, but for a single Debian release the ballpark is 2 duplicates for each dependency already (e.g. libc6 counts 18410 dependencies, but only 45 unique). Add more releases and the duplicates count only rises to get ~6 for 3 releases. For each architecture a user has configured which given the shear number of dependencies amounts to MBs of duplication. We can cut down on this number, but pay a heavy price for it: In my many releases(3) + architectures(3) test we have a 10% (~ 0.5 sec) increase in cache creationtime, but also 10% less cachesize (~ 10 MB). Further work is needed to rip the whole benefits from this through, so this is just the start. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10make all d-pointer * const pointersDavid Kalnischkies
Doing this disables the implicit copy assignment operator (among others) which would cause hovac if used on the classes as it would just copy the pointer, not the data the d-pointer points to. For most of the classes we don't need a copy assignment operator anyway and in many classes it was broken before as many contain a pointer of some sort. Only for our Cacheset Container interfaces we define an explicit copy assignment operator which could later be implemented to copy the data from one d-pointer to the other if we need it. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-06-16add d-pointer, virtual destructors and de-inline de/constructorsDavid Kalnischkies
To have a chance to keep the ABI for a while we need all three to team up. One of them missing and we might loose, so ensuring that they are available is a very tedious but needed task once in a while. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-06-15hide Translation-* in 'apt-cache policy' outputDavid Kalnischkies
Translation-* files are internally handled as PackageFiles which isn't super nice, but giving them their own struct is a bit overkill so let it be for the moment. They always appeared in the policy output because of this through and now that they are properly linked to a ReleaseFile they even display all the pinning information on them, but they don't contain any packages which could be pinned… No problem, but useless and potentially confusing output. Adding a 'NoPackages' flag which can be set on those files and be used in applications seems like a simple way to fix this display issue.
2015-06-12store Release files data in the CacheDavid Kalnischkies
We used to read the Release file for each Packages file and store the data in the PackageFile struct even through potentially many Packages (and Translation-*) files could use the same data. The point of the exercise isn't the duplicated data through. Having the Release files as first-class citizens in the Cache allows us to properly track their state as well as allows us to use the information also for files which aren't in the cache, but where we know to which Release file they belong (Sources are an example for this). This modifies the pkgCache structs, especially the PackagesFile struct which depending on how libapt users access the data in these structs can mean huge breakage or no visible change. As a single data point: aptitude seems to be fine with this. Even if there is breakage it is trivial to fix in a backportable way while avoiding breakage for everyone would be a huge pain for us. Note that not all PackageFile structs have a corresponding ReleaseFile. In particular the dpkg/status file as well as *.deb files have not. As these have only a Archive property need, the Component property takes over this duty and the ReleaseFile remains zero. This is also the reason why it isn't needed nor particularily recommended to change from PackagesFile to ReleaseFile blindly. Sticking with the earlier is usually the better option.
2015-06-09rework hashsum verification in the acquire systemDavid Kalnischkies
Having every item having its own code to verify the file(s) it handles is an errorprune process and easy to break, especially if items move through various stages (download, uncompress, patching, …). With a giant rework we centralize (most of) the verification to have a better enforcement rate and (hopefully) less chance for bugs, but it breaks the ABI bigtime in exchange – and as we break it anyway, it is broken even harder. It shouldn't effect most frontends as they don't deal with the acquire system at all or implement their own items, but some do and will need to be patched (might be an opportunity to use apt on-board material). The theory is simple: Items implement methods to decide if hashes need to be checked (in this stage) and to return the expected hashes for this item (in this stage). The verification itself is done in worker message passing which has the benefit that a hashsum error is now a proper error for the acquire system rather than a Done() which is later revised to a Failed().
2014-11-08guard pkg/grp hashtable creation changesDavid Kalnischkies
The change itself is no problem ABI wise, but the remove of the old undynamic hashtables is, so we bring it back for older abis and happily use the now available free space to backport more recent additions like the dynamic hashtable itself. Git-Dch: Ignore

2014-09-30mark private methods as hiddenDavid Kalnischkies
We are the only possible users of private methods, so we are also the only users who can potentially export them via using them in inline methods. The point is: We don't need these symbols exported if we don't do this, so marking them as hidden removes some methods from the API without breaking anything as nobody could have used them. Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-09-27store source name and version in binary cacheDavid Kalnischkies
Accessing the package records to acquire this information is pretty costly, so that information wasn't used so far in many places. The most noticeable user by far is EDSP at the moment, but there are ideas to change that which this commit tries to enable.
2014-09-27drop stored StringItems in favor of in-memory mappingsDavid Kalnischkies
Strings like Section names or architectures are needed vary often. Instead of writing them each time we need them, we deploy sharing for these special strings. Until now, this was done with a linked list of strings in which we would search, which was stored in the cache. It turns out we can do this just as well in memory as well with a bunch of std::map's. In memory means here that it isn't available anymore if we have a partly invalid cache, but that isn't much of a problem in practice as the status file is compared to the other files we parse very small and includes mostly duplicates, so the space we would gain by storing is more or less equal to the size of the stored linked list…
2014-09-27deprecate Pkg->Name in favor of Grp->NameDavid Kalnischkies
They both store the same information, so this field just takes up space in the Package struct for no good reason. We mark it "just" as deprecated instead of instantly removing it though as it isn't misleading like Section was and is potentially used in the wild more often.
2014-06-18remove the Section member from package structDavid Kalnischkies
A version belongs to a section and has hence a section member of its own. A package on the other hand can have multiple versions from different sections. This was "solved" by using the section which was parsed first as order of sources.list defines, but that is obviously a horribly unpredictable thing. We therefore directly remove this struct member to free some space and mark the access method as deprecated, which is told to return the section of the 'newest' known version, which is at least predictable, but possible not what it returned before – but nobody knows. Users are way better of with the Section() as returned by the version they are dealing with. It is likely the same for all versions of a package, but in the few cases it isn't, it is important (like packages moving from main/* to contrib/* or into oldlibs …).
2014-06-18cleanup datatypes mix used in binary cacheDavid Kalnischkies
We had a wild mixture of (unsigned) int, long and long long here without much sense, so this commit adds a few typedefs to get some sense in the typesystem and ensures that a ID isn't sometimes computed as int, stored as long and compared with a long long… as this could potentially bite us later on as the size of the archive only increases over time.
2014-06-18increase hashtable size for packages/groups by factor 5David Kalnischkies
It also makes the size configureable, so it can be adapted in the future without the need for an abi break - and even by users… The increase was long overdue as it gives a >10% decrease in runtime of e.g. 'apt-get check -s'. Some (useless) benchmark with 69933 groups and 187796 packages without a pre-built cache: time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=1 → 20m time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=1000 → 6,41s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=2000 → 5,64s (old) time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=3000 → 5,30s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=5000 → 5,08s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=6000 → 5,05s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=7000 → 5,02s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=8000 → 5,00s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=9000 → 4,98s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=10000 → 4,96s (new) time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=15000 → 4,90s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=20000 → 4,86s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=30000 → 4,77s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=40000 → 4,74s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=50000 → 4,73s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=60000 → 4,71s The gap increases further for operations which have more package lookups. Factor 5 was chosen as higher values do not provide any really significant timing advantage anymore compared to the memory increase in my testing and there is always the possibility to increase it now if that changes. (also most users will not have 3 releases and 4 architectures in the cache, so theirs will be much smaller and faster).

2014-05-10invalid cache if architecture set doesn't matchDavid Kalnischkies
The cache heavily depends on the architecture(s) it is build for, especially if you move from single- to multiarch. Adding a new architecture to dpkg therefore has to be detected and must invalidate the cache so that we don't operate on incorrect data. The incorrect data will prevent us from doing otherwise sensible actions (it doesn't allow bad things to happen) and the recovery is simple and automatic in most cases, so this hides pretty well and is also not as serious as it might sound at first. Closes: 745036
