[PATCH 0/6] thread lazy_init_name_hash

[git@jeffhostetler.com]

From: Jeff Hostetler <jeffhost@microsoft.com>

This patch series is a performance optimization for
lazy_init_name_hash() in name-hash.c on very large
repositories.

This change allows lazy_init_name_hash() to optionally
use multiple threads when building the the_index.dir_hash
and the_index.name_hash hashmaps.  The original code path
has been preserved and is used when the repo is small or
the system does not have sufficient CPUs.

A helper command (t/helper/test-lazy-init-name-hash) was
created to demonstrate performance differences and validate
output.  For example, use the '-p' option to compare both
code paths on a large repo.

During our testing on the Windows source tree (3.1M
files, 500K folders, 450MB index), this change reduced
the runtime of lazy_init_name_hash() from 1.4 to 0.27
seconds.

This patch series replaces my earlier
     * jh/memihash-opt (2017-02-17) 5 commits
patch series.

  hashmap: Add disallow_rehash setting
  name-hash: perf improvement for lazy_init_name_hash
  name-hash: add test-lazy-init-name-hash
  name-hash: add perf test for lazy_init_name_hash
