Joe Tsai	60657ac83f	util/deephash: tighten up SelfHasher API (#11012) ... Providing a hash.Block512 is an implementation detail of how deephash works today, but providing an opaque type with mostly equivalent API (i.e., HashUint8, HashBytes, etc. methods) is still sensible. Thus, define a public Hasher type that exposes exactly the API that an implementation of SelfHasher would want to call. This gives us freedom to change the hashing algorithm of deephash at some point in the future. Also, this type is likely going to be called by types that are going to memoize their own hash results, we additionally add a HashSum method to simplify this use case. Add documentation to SelfHasher on how a type might implement it. Updates: corp#16409 Signed-off-by: Joe Tsai <joetsai@digital-static.net>	10 months ago

Joe Tsai	7e40071571	util/deephash: handle slice edge-cases (#5471) ... It is unclear whether the lack of checking nil-ness of slices was an oversight or a deliberate feature. Lacking a comment, the assumption is that this was an oversight. Also, expand the logic to perform cycle detection for recursive slices. We do this on a per-element basis since a slice is semantically equivalent to a list of pointers. Signed-off-by: Joe Tsai <joetsai@digital-static.net>	2 years ago
Joe Tsai	9bf13fc3d1	util/deephash: remove getTypeInfo (#5469) ... Add a new lookupTypeHasher function that is just a cached front-end around the makeTypeHasher function. We do not need to worry about the recursive type cycle issue that made getTypeInfo more complicated since makeTypeHasher is not directly recursive.

Joe Tsai	ab7e6f3f11	util/deephash: require pointer in API (#5467) ... The entry logic of Hash has extra complexity to make sure we always have an addressable value on hand. If not, we heap allocate the input. For this reason we document that there are performance benefits to always providing a pointer. Rather than documenting this, just enforce it through generics. Also, delete the unused HasherForType function. It's an interesting use of generics, but not well tested. We can resurrect it from code history if there's a need for it.

Joe Tsai	31bf3874d6	util/deephash: use unsafe.Pointer instead of reflect.Value (#5459) ... Use of reflect.Value.SetXXX panics if the provided argument was obtained from an unexported struct field. Instead, pass an unsafe.Pointer around and convert to a reflect.Value when necessary (i.e., for maps and interfaces). Converting from unsafe.Pointer to reflect.Value guarantees that none of the read-only bits will be populated. When running in race mode, we attach type information to the pointer so that we can type check every pointer operation. This also type-checks that direct memory hashing is within the valid range of a struct value. We add test cases that previously caused deephash to panic, but now pass. Performance: name old time/op new time/op delta Hash 14.1µs ± 1% 14.1µs ± 1% ~ (p=0.590 n=10+9) HashPacketFilter 2.53µs ± 2% 2.44µs ± 1% -3.79% (p=0.000 n=9+10) TailcfgNode 1.45µs ± 1% 1.43µs ± 0% -1.36% (p=0.000 n=9+9) HashArray 318ns ± 2% 318ns ± 2% ~ (p=0.541 n=10+10) HashMapAcyclic 32.9µs ± 1% 31.6µs ± 1% -4.16% (p=0.000 n=10+9) There is a slight performance gain due to the use of unsafe.Pointer over reflect.Value methods. Also, passing an unsafe.Pointer (1 word) on the stack is cheaper than passing a reflect.Value (3 words). Performance gains are diminishing since SHA-256 hashing now dominates the runtime.

Joe Tsai	3fc8683585	util/deephash: expand fast-path capabilities (#5404) ... Add support for maps and interfaces to the fast path. Add cycle-detection to the pointer handling logic. This logic is mostly copied from the slow path. A future commit will delete the slow path once the fast path never falls back to the slow path. Performance: name old time/op new time/op delta Hash-24 18.5µs ± 1% 14.9µs ± 2% -19.52% (p=0.000 n=10+10) HashPacketFilter-24 2.54µs ± 1% 2.60µs ± 1% +2.19% (p=0.000 n=10+10) HashMapAcyclic-24 31.6µs ± 1% 30.5µs ± 1% -3.42% (p=0.000 n=9+8) TailcfgNode-24 1.44µs ± 2% 1.43µs ± 1% ~ (p=0.171 n=10+10) HashArray-24 324ns ± 1% 324ns ± 2% ~ (p=0.425 n=9+9) The additional cycle detection logic doesn't incur much slow down since it only activates if a type is recursive, which does not apply for any of the types that we care about. There is a notable performance boost since we switch from the fath path to the slow path less often. Most notably, a struct with a field that could not be handled by the fast path would previously cause the entire struct to go through the slow path.

Joe Tsai	d32700c7b2	util/deephash: specialize for netip.Addr and drop AppendTo support (#5402) ... There are 5 types that we care about that implement AppendTo: key.DiscoPublic key.NodePublic netip.Prefix netipx.IPRange netip.Addr The key types are thin wrappers around [32]byte and are memory hashable. The netip.Prefix and netipx.IPRange types are thin wrappers over netip.Addr and are hashable by default if netip.Addr is hashable. The netip.Addr type is the only one with a complex structure where the default behavior of deephash does not hash it correctly due to the presence of the intern.Value type. Drop support for AppendTo and instead add specialized hashing for netip.Addr that would be semantically equivalent to == on the netip.Addr values. The AppendTo support was already broken prior to this change. It was fully removed (intentionally or not) in #4870. It was partially restored in #4858 for the fast path, but still broken in the slow path. Just drop support for it altogether. This does mean we lack any ability for types to self-hash themselves. In the future we can add support for types that implement: interface { DeepHash() Sum } Test and fuzz cases were added for the relevant types that used to rely on the AppendTo method. FuzzAddr has been executed on 1 billion samples without issues. Signed-off-by: Joe Tsai joetsai@digital-static.net	2 years ago

Joe Tsai	539c5e44c5	util/deephash: always keep values addressable (#5328) ... The logic of deephash is both simpler and easier to reason about if values are always addressable. In Go, the composite kinds are slices, arrays, maps, structs, interfaces, pointers, channels, and functions, where we define "composite" as a Go value that encapsulates some other Go value (e.g., a map is a collection of key-value entries). In the cases of pointers and slices, the sub-values are always addressable. In the cases of arrays and structs, the sub-values are always addressable if and only if the parent value is addressable. In the case of maps and interfaces, the sub-values are never addressable. To make them addressable, we need to copy them onto the heap. For the purposes of deephash, we do not care about channels and functions. For all non-composite kinds (e.g., strings and ints), they are only addressable if obtained from one of the composite kinds that produce addressable values (i.e., pointers, slices, addressable arrays, and addressable structs). A non-addressible, non-composite kind can be made addressable by allocating it on the heap, obtaining a pointer to it, and dereferencing it. Thus, if we can ensure that values are addressable at the entry points, and shallow copy sub-values whenever we encounter an interface or map, then we can ensure that all values are always addressable and assume such property throughout all the logic.

Joe Tsai	9d0c86b6ec	util/deephash: remove unnecessary formatting for structs and slices (#2571) ... The index for every struct field or slice element and the number of fields for the struct is unncessary. The hashing of Go values is unambiguous because every type (except maps) encodes in a parsable manner. So long as we know the type information, we could theoretically decode every value (except for maps). At a high level: * numbers are encoded as fixed-width records according to precision. * strings (and AppendTo output) are encoded with a fixed-width length, followed by the contents of the buffer. * slices are prefixed by a fixed-width length, followed by the encoding of each value. So long as we know the type of each element, we could theoretically decode each element. * arrays are encoded just like slices, but elide the length since it is determined from the Go type. * maps are encoded first with a byte indicating whether it is a cycle. If a cycle, it is followed by a fixed-width index for the pointer, otherwise followed by the SHA-256 hash of its contents. The encoding of maps is not decodeable, but a SHA-256 hash is sufficient to avoid ambiguities. * interfaces are encoded first with a byte indicating whether it is nil. If not nil, it is followed by a fixed-width index for the type, and then the encoding for the underlying value. Having the type be encoded first ensures that the value could theoretically be decoded next. * pointers are encoded first with a byte indicating whether it is 1) nil, 2) a cycle, or 3) newly seen. If a cycle, it is followed by a fixed-width index for the pointer. If newly seen, it is followed by the encoding for the pointed-at value.

Joe Tsai	d145c594ad	util/deephash: improve cycle detection (#2470) ... The previous algorithm used a map of all visited pointers. The strength of this approach is that it quickly prunes any nodes that we have ever visited before. The detriment of the approach is that pruning is heavily dependent on the order that pointers were visited. This is especially relevant for hashing a map where map entries are visited in a non-deterministic manner, which would cause the map hash to be non-deterministic (which defeats the point of a hash). This new algorithm uses a stack of all visited pointers, similar to how github.com/google/go-cmp performs cycle detection. When we visit a pointer, we push it onto the stack, and when we leave a pointer, we pop it from the stack. Before visiting a pointer, we first check whether the pointer exists anywhere in the stack. If yes, then we prune the node. The detriment of this approach is that we may hash a node more often than before since we do not prune as aggressively. The set of visited pointers up until any node is only the path of nodes up to that node and not any other pointers that may have been visited elsewhere. This provides us deterministic hashing regardless of visit order. We can now delete hashMapFallback and associated complexity, which only exists because the previous approach was non-deterministic in the presence of cycles. This fixes a failure of the old algorithm where obviously different values are treated as equal because the pruning was too aggresive. See https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/2443#issuecomment-883653534 The new algorithm is slightly slower since it prunes less aggresively: name old time/op new time/op delta Hash-8 66.1µs ± 1% 68.8µs ± 1% +4.09% (p=0.000 n=19+19) HashMapAcyclic-8 63.0µs ± 1% 62.5µs ± 1% -0.76% (p=0.000 n=18+19) TailcfgNode-8 9.79µs ± 2% 9.88µs ± 1% +0.95% (p=0.000 n=19+17) HashArray-8 643ns ± 1% 653ns ± 1% +1.64% (p=0.000 n=19+19) However, a slower but more correct algorithm seems more favorable than a faster but incorrect algorithm.

Joe Tsai	23ad028414	util/deephash: include type as part of hash for interfaces (#2476) ... A Go interface may hold any number of different concrete types. Just because two underlying values hash to the same thing does not mean the two values are identical if they have different concrete types. As such, include the type in the hash.	3 years ago
Joe Tsai	a5fb8e0731	util/deephash: introduce deliberate instability (#2477) ... Seed the hash upon first use with the current time. This ensures that the stability of the hash is bounded within the lifetime of one program execution. Hopefully, this prevents future bugs where someone assumes that this hash is stable.
