Thomas Köppe bf32da8dad Add missing standard library header inclusions (#5316)
Discovered by clang-tidy.
2025-04-17 15:37:57 +00:00
Jon Ross-Perkins 2fef1cb713 Switch to trailing returns in toolchain and related code. (#4919)
Also makes the style guide explicitly comment on void, but this was the
intent IIRC because it matches Carbon's `-> ()` (and "always" versus
"except for void", which we definitely went back and forth on).

Includes adjusting function pointers, which I definitely forget this
syntax works sometimes.

Excludes utils/tree_sitter/src/scanner.c because it claims to be C, but
really we should probably fix that to be cpp.

Chandler Carruth b473eac5bc Fix clang-tidy issues in //common. (#3962)
These likely predate the CI integration for `clang-tidy` runs.

Most of these seem good generally, even though I disabled some with
nolint comments. The multilevel pointer one seems almost like a bug in
the check to detect the specific case of `memcpy`, but otherwise seems
like a solid lint.

f59a6cdbdd Introduce a Carbon hashing framework. (#3327)
# Overview

This is a latency-optimized hashing framework based on Abseil's and
others. At it's core it uses both a normal 64-bit multiply as well as a
64-bit multiply capturing both low and high 64-bit components of the
result and XOR-ing them together. These are the primitives used in
FxHash and Abseil respectively, although they both appear in others.

The implementation has been *substantially* optimized for short inputs
and latency over quality. As a result, this function does not remotely
pass the SMHasher quality tests. However, basic collisions are rare, and
I've included a small subset of the SMHasher collision testing directly
to make sure the quality doesn't slip too far inadvertently.

The customization framework is roughly similar to Abseil's and LLVM's
but has been simplified significantly, inspired in some respects by the
AHash API design and in others by my experience of all performance
sensitive hashing implementations needing to work at a very low level to
hit their performance targets. The abstractions are stripped down to
facilitate this.

# Details of the performance optimization

This function is 2x - 4x faster than LLVM's on small inputs, and up to
2x faster than Abseil. Significant effort has gone into optimizing short
strings in particular compared to Abseil.

Small integer and pointer hashing is also faster than Abseil's by
leveraging a lower quality 64-bit multiply in some cases inspired by
FxHash. One consequence is that this routine is particulary fast for
32-bit integers.

The short string improvements largely come from packing more of the
bytes of string into as few multiplies as possible. While this fails to
mix the bits sufficient to hit SMHasher's strict avalanche criteria and
does leave some collision windows, it provides dramatic latency
improvements. Some of these techniques come from Abseil's own bulk
hashing routine but re-applied here. Others are novel, for example using
small sizes to sample nicely uniform random data to efficiently handle
the very small number of bits of data that need to be hashed.

The other observed improvement is diligent handling of pairs and tuples
and fairly aggressively turning things into integers. Some of the
comparisons with Abseil aren't realistic as the Abseil hash table does
some of these mappings before hashing. I've done this directly in the
hash function as that seems cleaner.

For long strings, the performance is comparable or a bit better than
Abseil, and significantly better than LLVM's hash function.

Overall, for short inputs this is hoped to be the fastest hash function
that still gets "just enough" mixing for modern hash tables to perform
well.

# Details of the quality vs. latency tradeoff

A key insight is that modern hash tables don't need especially high
quality hash functions, but do benefit from something beyond the
identify function. That isn't the target of SMHasher or other quality
assessing tools and has resulted in unnecessarily aggressive hashing for
any functions actually evaluated against it. Many hash functions turn
off the high quality implementations evaluated with SMHasher for integer
or pointer keys to recover latency & performance (AHash for example),
but the same performance-oriented design applies beyond these narrow
types, for example for short strings.

However, a consequence is that there are serious limits to the quality
of the hash function. The avalanche test is failed hilariously, etc.,
but in the exact same ways as Abseil itself fails it for integer keys.
There are also real collisions spaces. For example, for 16-byte strings,
there is one 64-bit value for the first 8 bytes that will have the same
hash regardless of the other 8 bytes of the string. Some minor effort is
taken to make this pattern unlikely to be a practical problem, but it is
a clear theoretical weakness.

It also means that this hash function couldn't be further from providing
any hash-flooding DoS attack protection -- I expect it to be trivially
easy to attack in this way by a motivated adversary. Defending against
these attacks is defined as out-of-scope, in large part because even
attempts that have made a compelling effort to address these issues such
as HighwayHash have found serious limits. Instead, this takes a
principled position that any such defense should be provided entirely at
the data structure level with a strong worst-case bound rather than
through strengthening the hash function.

# Future work

A subsequent PR will introduce a hash table inspired very heavily by the
design of Abseil's "SwissTable" and using this hash function. The goal
is to provide a significant improvement to hot hash tables such as the
identifier table in the lexer of Carbon's toolchain.

# Detailed benchmark data

The benchmarks introduced are heavily inspired by the latency
benchmarking of hash functions in Abseil. I've adapted them to fit
better into Carbon's coding style and to try to have more stable results
with broader coverage of types and string sizes.

Running the benchmarks directly gives horizontal comparisons across
different hash functions. That can be hard to read, so here is *just*
the newly introduced hash function benchmark results on an AMD server:

I don't have the same nice statistical multi-run error bars, but one run

And here I have internally replaced the Carbon hash function with
Abseil's hash function for "before" and then restored it in the "after"
and computed the delta for each benchmark. This basically shows the
speed-up (lower time -> lower latency -> speed-up -> good) over Abseil
on an AMD server:

Note that there is a significant regression on long strings compared to
LLVM's hash function on the ARM server I have access to. This doesn't
show up on the M1 at all, and is likely specific to inadequate
throughput for the 64-bit multiply operations. This seems fine as a) our
priority is for short strings, and b) the M1 and other ARM CPUs are
likely to improve here over time given the prevalent use of this core
technique. For example, Abseil's current hash algorithm has the same
long-string behavior (and performance bottleneck) on this server.
