help: cleanup the contruction of keys_uniq
Since early 2019 with e62e225f (test-lint: only use only sed [-n]
[-e command] [-f command_file], 2019-01-20), we have been trying to
limit the options of "sed" we use in our tests to "-e <pattern>",
"-n", and "-f <file>".
Before the commit, we were trying to reject only "-i" (which is one
of the really-not-portable options), but the commit explicitly
wanted to reject use of "-E" (use ERE instead of BRE). The commit
cites the then-current POSIX.1 (Issue 7, 2018 edition) to show that
"even recent POSIX does not have it!", but the latest edition (Issue
8) documents "-E" as an option to use ERE.
But that was 7 years ago, and that is a long time for many things to
happen.
Besides, we have been using "sed -E" without the check in question
triggering in one of the scripts since 2022, with 461fec41 (bisect
run: keep some of the post-v2.30.0 output, 2022-11-10). It was
hidden because the 'E' was squished with another single letter
option.
t/t6030-bisect-porcelain.sh: sed -En 's/.*(bisect...
This escaped the rather simple pattern used in the checker
/\bsed\s+-[^efn]\s+/ and err 'sed option not portable...';
because -E did not appear as a singleton.
Let's change the rule to allow the "-E" option, which nobody has
complained against for the past 3 years. We rewrite our first use
of the "-E" option so that it is caught by the old rule, primarily
because we do not want to teach our mischievous developers how to
smuggle in an unwanted option undetected by the test lint. And at
the same time, loosen the pattern to allow "-E" the same way we
allow "-n" and friends.

When running `git pack-objects --stdout` we feed the data through
`hashfd_ext()` with a progress meter and a smaller-than-usual buffer
length of 8kB so that we can track throughput more granularly. But as
packfiles tend to be on the larger side, this small buffer size may
cause a ton of write(3p) syscalls.
Originally, the buffer we used in `hashfd()` was 8kB for all use cases.
This was changed though in 2ca245f8be (csum-file.h: increase hashfile
buffer size, 2021-05-18) because we noticed that the number of writes
can have an impact on performance. So the buffer size was increased to
128kB, which improved performance a bit for some use cases.
But the commit didn't touch the buffer size for `hashd_throughput()`.
The reasoning here was that callers expect the progress indicator to
update frequently, and a larger buffer size would of course reduce the
update frequency especially on slow networks.
While that is of course true, there was (and still is, even though it's
now a call to `hashfd_ext()`) only a single caller of this function in
git-pack-objects(1). This command is responsible for writing packfiles,
and those packfiles are often on the bigger side. So arguably:
- The user won't care about increments of 8kB when packfiles tend to
be megabytes or even gigabytes in size.
- Reducing the number of syscalls would be even more valuable here
than it would be for multi-pack indices, which was the benchmark
done in the mentioned commit, as MIDXs are typically significantly
smaller than packfiles.
- Nowadays, many internet connections should be able to transfer data
at a rate significantly higher than 8kB per second.
Update the buffer to instead have a size of `LARGE_PACKET_DATA_MAX - 1`,
which translates to ~64kB. This limit was chosen because `git
pack-objects --stdout` is most often used when sending packfiles via
git-upload-pack(1), where packfile data is chunked into pktlines when
using the sideband. Furthermore, most internet connections should have a
bandwidth signifcantly higher than 64kB/s, so we'd still be able to
observe progress updates at a rate of at least once per second.
This change significantly reduces the number of write(3p) syscalls from
355,000 to 44,000 when packing the Linux repository. While this results
in a small performance improvement on an otherwise-unused system, this
improvement is mostly negligible. More importantly though, it will
reduce lock contention in the kernel on an extremely busy system where
we have many processes writing data at once.
