c2f08236ed reftable/system: stop depending on "hash.h"
We include "hash.h" in "reftable/system.h" such that we can use hash
format IDs as well as the raw size of SHA1 and SHA256. As we are in the
process of converting the reftable library to become standalone we of
course cannot rely on those constants anymore.

Introduce a new `enum reftable_hash` to replace internal uses of the
hash format IDs and new constants that replace internal uses of the hash
size. Adapt the reftable backend to set up the correct hash function.

88e297275b reftable: explicitly handle hash format IDs
The hash format IDs are used for two different things across the
reftable codebase:

  - They are used as a 32 bit unsigned integer when reading and writing
    the header in order to identify the hash function.

  - They are used internally to identify which hash function is in use.

When one only considers the second usecase one might think that one can
easily change the representation of those hash IDs. But because those
IDs end up in the reftable header and footer on disk it is important
that those never change.

Create separate constants `REFTABLE_FORMAT_ID_*` and use them in
contexts where we read or write reftable headers. This serves multiple
purposes:

  - It allows us to more easily discern cases where we actually use
    those constants for the on-disk format.

  - It detangles us from the same constants that are defined in
    libgit.a, which is another required step to convert the reftable
    library to become standalone.

  - It makes the next step easier where we stop using `GIT_*_FORMAT_ID`
    constants in favor of a custom enum.

0a148a8eda reftable/reader: make table iterator reseekable
In 67ce50ba26 (Merge branch 'ps/reftable-reusable-iterator', 2024-05-30)
we have refactored the interface of reftable iterators such that they
can be reused in theory. This patch series only landed the required
changes on the interface level, but didn't yet implement the actual
logic to make iterators reusable.

As it turns out almost all of the infrastructure already does support
re-seeking. The only exception is the table iterator, which does not
reset its `is_finished` bit. Do so and add a couple of tests that verify
that we can re-seek iterators.

d857469d85 reftable/reader: introduce refcounting
It was recently reported that concurrent reads and writes may cause the
reftable backend to segfault. The root cause of this is that we do not
properly keep track of reftable readers across reloads.

Suppose that you have a reftable iterator and then decide to reload the
stack while iterating through the iterator. When the stack has been
rewritten since we have created the iterator, then we would end up
discarding a subset of readers that may still be in use by the iterator.
The consequence is that we now try to reference deallocated memory,
which of course segfaults.

One way to trigger this is in t5616, where some background maintenance
jobs have been leaking from one test into another. This leads to stack
traces like the following one:

While it is somewhat awkward that the maintenance processes survive
tests in the first place, it is totally expected that reftables should
work alright with concurrent writers. Seemingly they don't.

The only underlying resource that we need to care about in this context
is the reftable reader, which is responsible for reading a single table
from disk. These readers get discarded immediately (unless reused) when
calling `reftable_stack_reload()`, which is wrong. We can only close
them once we know that there are no iterators using them anymore.

Prepare for a fix by converting the reftable readers to be refcounted.

6014639837 reftable/generic: drop interface
The `reftable_table` interface provides a generic infrastructure that
can abstract away whether the underlying table is a single table, or a
merged table. This abstraction can make it rather hard to reason about
the code. We didn't ever use it to implement the reftable backend, and
with the preceding patches in this patch series we in fact don't use it
at all anymore. Furthermore, it became somewhat useless with the recent
refactorings that made it possible to seek reftable iterators multiple
times, as these now provide generic access to tables for us. The
interface is thus redundant and only brings unnecessary complexity with
it.

Remove the `struct reftable_table` interface and its associated
functions.

b34ce7e911 reftable/iter: drop double-checking logic
The filtering ref iterator can be used to only yield refs which are not
in a specific skip list. This iterator has an option to double-check the
results it returns, which causes us to seek the reference we are about
to yield via a separate table such that we detect whether the reference
that the first iterator has yielded actually exists.

The value of this is somewhat dubious, and I cannot think of any usecase
where this functionality should be required. Furthermore, this option is
never set in our codebase, which means that it is essentially untested.
And last but not least, the `struct reftable_table` that is used to
implement it is about to go away.

So while we could refactor the code to not use a `reftable_table`, it
very much feels like a wasted effort. Let's just drop this code.

b8ca235ca5 reftable/merged: stop using generic tables in the merged table
The merged table provides access to a reftable stack by merging the
contents of those tables into a virtual table. These subtables are being
tracked via `struct reftable_table`, which is a generic interface for
accessing either a single reftable or a merged reftable. So in theory,
it would be possible for the merged table to merge together other merged
tables.

This is somewhat nonsensical though: we only ever set up a merged table
over normal reftables, and there is no reason to do otherwise. This
generic interface thus makes the code way harder to follow and reason
about than really necessary. The abstraction layer may also have an
impact on performance, even though the extra set of vtable function
calls probably doesn't really matter.

Refactor the merged tables to use a `struct reftable_reader` for each of
the subtables instead, which gives us direct access to the underlying
tables. Adjust names accordingly.

5bf96e0c39 reftable/generic: move seeking of records into the iterator
Reftable iterators are created by seeking on the parent structure of a
corresponding record. For example, to create an iterator for the merged
table you would call `reftable_merged_table_seek_ref()`. Most notably,
it is not posible to create an iterator and then seek it afterwards.

While this may be a bit easier to reason about, it comes with two
significant downsides. The first downside is that the logic to find
records is split up between the parent data structure and the iterator
itself. Conceptually, it is more straight forward if all that logic was
contained in a single place, which should be the iterator.

The second and more significant downside is that it is impossible to
reuse iterators for multiple seeks. Whenever you want to look up a
record, you need to re-create the whole infrastructure again, which is
quite a waste of time. Furthermore, it is impossible to optimize seeks,
such as when seeking the same record multiple times.

To address this, we essentially split up the concerns properly such that
the parent data structure is responsible for setting up the iterator via
a new `init_iter()` callback, whereas the iterator handles seeks via a
new `seek()` callback. This will eventually allow us to call `seek()` on
the iterator multiple times, where every iterator can potentially
optimize for certain cases.

Note that at this point in time we are not yet ready to reuse the
iterators. This will be left for a future patch series.

81a03a3236 reftable/reader: separate concerns of table iter and reftable reader
In "reftable/reader.c" we implement two different interfaces:

  - The reftable reader contains the logic to read reftables.

  - The table iterator is used to iterate through a single reftable read

The way those two types are used in the code is somewhat confusing
though because seeking inside a table is implemented as if it was part
of the reftable reader, even though it is ultimately more of a detail
implemented by the table iterator.

Make the boundary between those two types clearer by renaming functions
that seek records in a table such that they clearly belong to the table
iterator's logic.

9a59b65dba reftable/reader: avoid copying index iterator
When doing an indexed seek we need to walk down the multi-level index
until we finally hit a record of the desired indexed type. This loop
performs a copy of the index iterator on every iteration, which is both
hard to understand and completely unnecessary.

Refactor the code so that we use a single iterator to walk down the
indices, only.

Note that while this should improve performance, the improvement is
negligible in all but the most unreasonable repositories. This is
because the effect is only really noticeable when we have to walk down
many levels of indices, which is not something that a repository would
typically have. So the motivation for this change is really only about
readability.

ce1f213cc9 reftable/block: reuse zstream state on inflation
When calling `inflateInit()` and `inflate()`, the zlib library will
allocate several data structures for the underlying `zstream` to keep
track of various information. Thus, when inflating repeatedly, it is
possible to optimize memory allocation patterns by reusing the `zstream`
and then calling `inflateReset()` on it to prepare it for the next chunk
of data to inflate.

This is exactly what the reftable code is doing: when iterating through
reflogs we need to potentially inflate many log blocks, but we discard
the `zstream` every single time. Instead, as we reuse the `block_reader`
for each of the blocks anyway, we can initialize the `zstream` once and
then reuse it for subsequent inflations.

Refactor the code to do so, which leads to a significant reduction in
the number of allocations. The following measurements were done when
iterating through 1 million reflog entries. Before:

dd347bbce6 reftable/block: reuse uncompressed blocks
The reftable backend stores reflog entries in a compressed format and
thus needs to uncompress blocks before one can read records from it.
For each reflog block we thus have to allocate an array that we can
decompress the block contents into. This block is being discarded
whenever the table iterator moves to the next block. Consequently, we
reallocate a new array on every block, which is quite wasteful.

Refactor the code to reuse the uncompressed block data when moving the
block reader to a new block. This significantly reduces the number of
allocations when iterating through many compressed blocks. The following
measurements are done with `git reflog list` when listing 100k reflogs.

bcdc586db0 reftable/block: move ownership of block reader into struct table_iter
The table iterator allows the caller to iterate through all records in a
reftable table. To do so it iterates through all blocks of the desired
type one by one, where for each block it creates a new block iterator
and yields all its entries.

One of the things that is somewhat confusing in this context is who owns
the block reader that is being used to read the blocks and pass them to
the block iterator. Intuitively, as the table iterator is responsible
for iterating through the blocks, one would assume that this iterator is
also responsible for managing the lifecycle of the reader. And while it
somewhat is, the block reader is ultimately stored inside of the block
iterator.

Refactor the code such that the block reader is instead fully managed by
the table iterator. Instead of passing the reader to the block iterator,
we now only end up passing the block data to it. Despite clearing up the
lifecycle of the reader, it will also allow for better reuse of the
reader in subsequent patches.

The following benchmark prints a single matching ref out of 1 million
refs. Before:

  HEAP SUMMARY:
      in use at exit: 13,603 bytes in 125 blocks
    total heap usage: 6,607 allocs, 6,482 frees, 509,635 bytes allocated

After:

  HEAP SUMMARY:
      in use at exit: 13,603 bytes in 125 blocks
    total heap usage: 7,235 allocs, 7,110 frees, 301,481 bytes allocated

Note that while there are more allocation and free calls now, the
overall number of bytes allocated is significantly lower. The number of
allocations will be reduced significantly by the next patch though.

The function `block_reader_start()` does not really apply to the block

c68ca7abd3 reftable/reader: add comments to table_iter_next()
While working on the optimizations in the preceding patches I stumbled
upon `table_iter_next()` multiple times. It is quite easy to miss the
fact that we don't call `table_iter_next_in_block()` twice, but that the
second call is in fact `table_iter_next_block()`.

Add comments to explain what exactly is going on here to make things
more obvious. While at it, touch up the code to conform to our code
style better.

Note that one of the refactorings merges two conditional blocks into
one. Before, we had the following code:

```
err = table_iter_next_block(&next, ti);
if (err != 0) {
	ti->is_finished = 1;
}
table_iter_block_done(ti);
if (err != 0) {
	return err;
}
```

As `table_iter_block_done()` does not care about `is_finished`, the
conditional blocks can be merged into one block:

```
err = table_iter_next_block(&next, ti);
table_iter_block_done(ti);
if (err != 0) {
	ti->is_finished = 1;
	return err;
}
```

This is both easier to reason about and more performant because we have
one branch less.

3ddef475d0 reftable/record: improve semantics when initializing records
According to our usual coding style, the `reftable_new_record()`
function would indicate that it is allocating a new record. This is not
the case though as the function merely initializes records without
allocating any memory.

Replace `reftable_new_record()` with a new `reftable_record_init()`
function that takes a record pointer as input and initializes it
accordingly.

b4ff12c8ee reftable: introduce macros to allocate arrays
Similar to the preceding commit, let's carry over macros to allocate
arrays with `REFTABLE_ALLOC_ARRAY()` and `REFTABLE_CALLOC_ARRAY()`. This
requires us to change the signature of `reftable_calloc()`, which only
takes a single argument right now and thus puts the burden on the caller
to calculate the final array's size. This is a net improvement though as
it means that we can now provide proper overflow checks when multiplying
the array size with the member size.

Convert callsites of `reftable_calloc()` to the new signature and start
using the new macros where possible.

d55fc5128b reftable/reader: be more careful about errors in indexed seeks
When doing an indexed seek we first need to do a linear seek in order to
find the index block for our wanted key. We do not check the returned
error of the linear seek though. This is likely not an issue because the
next call to `table_iter_next()` would return error, too. But it very
much is a code smell when an error variable is being assigned to without
actually checking it.

Safeguard the code by checking for errors.

66c0dabab5 reftable: make reftable_record a tagged union
This reduces the amount of glue code, because we don't need a void
pointer or vtable within the structure.

The only snag is that reftable_index_record contain a strbuf, so it
cannot be zero-initialized. To address this, use reftable_new_record()
to return fresh instance, given a record type. Since
reftable_new_record() doesn't cause heap allocation anymore, it should
be balanced with reftable_record_release() rather than
reftable_record_destroy().

Thanks to Peff for the suggestion.
