The git-p4 tool creates a bunch of temporary branches that share a
common prefix "refs/git-p4-tmp/". These branches get cleaned up via
git-update-ref(1) after the import has finished. Once done, we try to
manually remove the now supposedly-empty ".git/refs/git-p4-tmp/"
directory.
This last step can fail in case there still are any temporary branches
around that we failed to delete because `os.rmdir()` refuses to delete a
non-empty directory. It can thus be seen as kind of a sanity check to
verify that we really did delete all temporary branches. Another failure
mode though is when the directory didn't exist in the first place, which
can be the case when using an alternate ref backend like the upcoming
"reftable" backend.
Convert the code to instead use git-for-each-ref(1) to verify that there
are no more temporary branches around. This works alright with alternate
ref backends while retaining the sanity check that we really did prune
all temporary branches.
This is a modification in behaviour for the "files" backend because the
empty directory does not get deleted anymore. But arguably we should not
care about such implementation details of the ref backend anyway, and
this should not cause any user-visible change in behaviour.

Piping the output of git commands like git-ls-files to another
command (grep in this case) hides the exit code returned by
these commands. Prevent this by storing the output of git-ls-files
to a temporary file and then "grep-ping" from that file. Replace
grep with test_grep as the latter is more verbose when it fails.

Introduce a boolean configuration option fetch.all which allows to
fetch all available remotes by default. The config option can be
overridden by explicitly specifying a remote or by using --no-all.
The behavior for --all is unchanged and calling git-fetch with --all
and a remote will still result in an error.
Additionally, describe the configuration variable in the config
documentation and implement new tests to cover the expected behavior.
Also add --no-all to the command-line documentation of git-fetch.

We're manually parsing the HEAD reference in git-prompt to figure out
whether it is a symbolic or direct reference. This makes it intimately
tied to the on-disk format we use to store references and will stop
working once we gain additional reference backends in the Git project.
Ideally, we would refactor the code to exclusively use plumbing tools to
read refs such that we do not have to care about the on-disk format at
all. Unfortunately though, spawning processes can be quite expensive on
some systems like Windows. As the Git prompt logic may be executed quite
frequently we try very hard to spawn as few processes as possible. This
refactoring is thus out of question for now.
Instead, condition the logic on the repository's ref format: if the repo
uses the the "files" backend we can continue to use the old logic and
read the respective files from disk directly. If it's anything else,
then we use git-symbolic-ref(1) to read the value of HEAD.
This change makes the Git prompt compatible with the upcoming "reftable"
format.

SUMMARY: LeakSanitizer: 32 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).
Aborted
What happens is this:
0. We construct a bogus pack with a duplicate object in it and trigger
index-pack.
1. We spawn a bunch of worker threads to resolve deltas (on my system
it is 16 threads).
2. One of the threads sees the duplicate object and bails by calling
exit(), taking down all of the threads. This is expected and is the
point of the test.
3. At the time exit() is called, we may still be spawning threads from
the main process via pthread_create(). LSan hooks thread creation
to update its book-keeping; it has to know where each thread's
stack is (so it can find entry points for reachable memory). So it
calls pthread_getattr_np() to get information about the new thread.
That may allocate memory that must be freed with a matching call to
pthread_attr_destroy(). Probably LSan does that immediately, but
if you're unlucky enough, the exit() will happen while it's between
those two calls, and the allocated pthread_attr_t appears as a
leak.
This isn't a real leak. It's not even in our code, but rather in the
LSan instrumentation code. So we could just ignore it. But the false
positive can cause people to waste time tracking it down.
It's possibly something that LSan could protect against (e.g., cover the
getattr/destroy pair with a mutex, and then in the final post-exit()
check for leaks try to take the same mutex). But I don't know enough
about LSan to say if that's a reasonable approach or not (or if my
analysis is even completely correct).
In the meantime, it's pretty easy to avoid the race by making creation
of the worker threads "atomic". That is, we'll spawn all of them before
letting any of them start to work. That's easy to do because we already
have a work_lock() mutex for handing out that work. If the main process
takes it, then all of the threads will immediately block until we've
finished spawning and released it.
This shouldn't make any practical difference for non-LSan runs. The
thread spawning is quick, and could happen before any worker thread gets
scheduled anyway.
Probably other spots that use threads are subject to the same issues.
But since we have to manually insert locking (and since this really is
kind of a hack), let's not bother with them unless somebody experiences
a similar racy false-positive in practice.

This fixes a regression introduced in ac6d45d11f (commit-graph: move
slab-clearing to close_commit_graph(), 2023-10-03), in which running:
git -c fetch.writeCommitGraph=true fetch --recurse-submodules
multiple times in a freshly cloned repository causes a segfault. What
happens in the second (and subsequent) runs is this:
1. We make a "struct commit" for any ref tips which we're storing
(even if we already have them, they still go into FETCH_HEAD).
Because the first run will have created a commit graph, we'll find
those commits in the graph.
The commit struct is therefore created with a NULL "maybe_tree"
entry, because we can load its oid from the graph later. But to do
that we need to remember that we got the commit from the graph,
which is recorded in a global commit_graph_data_slab object.
2. Because we're using --recurse-submodules, we'll try to fetch each
of the possible submodules. That implies creating a separate
"struct repository" in-process for each submodule, which will
require a later call to repo_clear().
The call to repo_clear() calls raw_object_store_clear(), which in
turn calls close_object_store(), which in turn calls
close_commit_graph(). And the latter frees the commit graph data
slab.
3. Later, when trying to write out a new commit graph, we'll ask for
their tree oid via get_commit_tree_oid(), which will see that the
object is parsed but with a NULL maybe_tree field. We'd then
usually pull it from the graph file, but because the slab was
cleared, we don't realize that we can do so! We end up returning
NULL and segfaulting.
(It seems questionable that we'd write a graph entry for such a
commit anyway, since we know we already have one. I didn't
double-check, but that may simply be another side effect of having
cleared the slab).
The bug is in step (2) above. We should not be clearing the slab when
cleaning up the submodule repository structs. Prior to ac6d45d11f, we
did not do so because it was done inside a helper function that returned
early when it saw NULL. So the behavior change from that commit is that
we'll now _always_ clear the slab via repo_clear(), even if the
repository being closed did not have a commit graph (and thus would have
a NULL commit_graph struct).
The most immediate fix is to add in a NULL check in close_commit_graph(),
making it a true noop when passed in an object_store with a NULL
commit_graph (it's OK to just return early, since the rest of its code
is already a noop when passed NULL). That restores the pre-ac6d45d11f
behavior. And that's what this patch does, along with a test that
exercises it (we already have a test that uses submodules along with
fetch.writeCommitGraph, but the bug only triggers when there is a
subsequent fetch and when that fetch uses --recurse-submodules).
So that fixes the regression in the least-risky way possible.
I do think there's some fragility here that we might want to follow up
on. We have a global commit_graph_data_slab that contains graph
positions, and our global commit structs depend on the that slab
remaining valid. But close_commit_graph() is just about closing _one_
object store's graph. So it's dangerous to call that function and clear
the slab without also throwing away any "struct commit" we might have
parsed that depends on it.
Which at first glance seems like a bug we could already trigger. In the
situation described here, there is no commit graph in the submodule
repository, so our commit graph is NULL (in fact, in our test script
there is no submodule repo at all, so we immediately return from
repo_init() and call repo_clear() only to free up memory). But what
would happen if there was one? Wouldn't we see a non-NULL commit_graph
entry, and then clear the global slab anyway?
The answer is "no", but for very bizarre reasons. Remember that
repo_clear() calls raw_object_store_clear(), which then calls
close_object_store() and thus close_commit_graph(). But before it does
so, raw_object_store_clear() does something else: it frees the commit
graph and sets it to NULL! So by this code path we'll _never_ see a
non-NULL commit_graph struct, and thus never clear the slab.
So it happens to work out. But it still seems questionable to me that we
would clear a global slab (which might still be in use) when closing the
commit graph. This clearing comes from 957ba814bf (commit-graph: when
closing the graph, also release the slab, 2021-09-08), and was fixing a
case where we really did need it to be closed (and in that case we
presumably call close_object_store() more directly).
So I suspect there may still be a bug waiting to happen there, as any
object loaded before the call to close_object_store() may be stranded
with a bogus maybe_tree entry (and thus looking at it after the call
might cause an error). But I'm not sure how to trigger it, nor what the
fix should look like (you probably would need to "unparse" any objects
pulled from the graph). And so this patch punts on that for now in favor
of fixing the recent regression in the most direct way, which should not
have any other fallouts.

Among Git's environment variables, the ones marked as "Boolean"
accept values in a way similar to Boolean configuration variables,
i.e. values like 'yes', 'on', 'true' and positive numbers are
taken as "on" and values like 'no', 'off', 'false' are taken as
"off".
GIT_FLUSH can be used to force Git to use non-buffered I/O when
writing to stdout. It can only accept two values, '1' which causes
Git to flush more often and '0' which makes all output buffered.
Make GIT_FLUSH accept more values besides '0' and '1' by turning it
into a Boolean environment variable, modifying the required logic.
Update the related documentation.

When iterating over records with the merged iterator we put the records
into a priority queue before yielding them to the caller. This means
that we need to allocate the contents of these records before we can
pass them over to the caller.
The handover to the caller is quite inefficient though because we first
deallocate the record passed in by the caller and then copy over the new
record, which requires us to reallocate memory.
Refactor the code to instead transfer ownership of the new record to the
caller. So instead of reallocating all contents, we now release the old
record and then copy contents of the new record into place.
The following benchmark of `git show-ref --quiet` in a repository with
around 350k refs shows a clear improvement. Before:
HEAP SUMMARY:
in use at exit: 21,163 bytes in 193 blocks
total heap usage: 708,058 allocs, 707,865 frees, 36,783,255 bytes allocated
After:
HEAP SUMMARY:
in use at exit: 21,163 bytes in 193 blocks
total heap usage: 357,007 allocs, 356,814 frees, 24,193,602 bytes allocated
This shows that we now have roundabout a single allocation per record
that we're yielding from the iterator. Ideally, we'd also get rid of
this allocation so that the number of allocations doesn't scale with the
number of refs anymore. This would require some larger surgery though
because the memory is owned by the priority queue before transferring it
over to the caller.

2023-12-11), we have refactored the merged iterator to reuse a pair of
long-living strbufs by relying on the fact that `reftable_record_key()`
tries to reuse already allocated strbufs by calling `strbuf_reset()`,
which should give us significantly fewer reallocations compared to the
old code that used on-stack strbufs that are allocated for each and
every iteration. Unfortunately, we called `strbuf_release()` on these
long-living strbufs that we meant to reuse on each iteration, defeating
the optimization.
Fix this performance issue by not releasing those buffers on iteration
anymore, where we instead rely on `merged_iter_close()` to release the
buffers for us.
Using `git show-ref --quiet` in a repository with ~350k refs this leads
to a significant drop in allocations. Before:

Similar to the preceding commit, convert ref records of type "val2" to
store their object IDs in static arrays instead of allocating them for
every single record.
We're using the same benchmark as in the preceding commit, with `git
show-ref --quiet` in a repository with ~350k refs. This time around
though the effects aren't this huge. Before:
HEAP SUMMARY:
in use at exit: 21,163 bytes in 193 blocks
total heap usage: 1,419,040 allocs, 1,418,847 frees, 62,153,868 bytes allocated
After:
HEAP SUMMARY:
in use at exit: 21,163 bytes in 193 blocks
total heap usage: 1,410,148 allocs, 1,409,955 frees, 61,976,068 bytes allocated
This is because "val2"-type records are typically only stored for peeled
tags, and the number of annotated tags in the benchmark repository is
rather low. Still, it can be seen that this change leads to a reduction
of allocations overall, even if only a small one.
