In the past, we used to execute `git gc --auto` as part of our automatic
housekeeping routines. As git-gc(1) may require quite some time to
perform the housekeeping, it knows to detach itself and run in the
background so that the user can continue their work.
Eventually, we refactored our automatic housekeeping to instead use the
more flexible git-maintenance(1) command. The upside of this new infra
is that the user can configure which maintenance tasks are performed, at
least to a certain degree. So while it continues to run git-gc(1) by
default, it can also be adapted to e.g. use git-multi-pack-index(1) for
maintenance of the object database.
The auto-detach of the new infra is somewhat broken though once the user
configures non-standard tasks. The problem is essentially that we detach
at the wrong level in the process hierarchy: git-maintenance(1) never
detaches itself, but instead it continues to be git-gc(1) which does.
When configured to only run the git-gc(1) maintenance task, then the
result is basically the same as before. But when configured to run other
tasks, then git-maintenance(1) will wait for these to run to completion.
Even worse, it may be that git-gc(1) runs concurrently with other
housekeeping tasks, stomping on each others feet.
Fix this bug by asking git-gc(1) to not detach when it is being invoked
via git-maintenance(1). Instead, git-maintenance(1) now respects a new
config "maintenance.autoDetach", the equivalent of "gc.autoDetach", and
detaches itself into the background when running as part of our auto
maintenance. This should continue to behave the same for all users which
use the git-gc(1) task, only. For others though, it means that we now
properly perform all tasks in the background. The default behaviour of
git-maintenance(1) when executed by the user does not change, it will
remain in the foreground unless they pass the `--detach` option.

In 776297548e (Do not use SHELL_PATH from build system in
prepare_shell_cmd on Windows, 2012-04-17), the hard-coded path to the
Unix shell was replaced by passing `sh` instead when executing Unix
shell scripts in Git.
This was done because the hard-coded path to the Unix shell is incorrect
on Windows because it not only is a Unix-style absolute path instead of
a Windows one, but Git uses the runtime prefix feature on Windows, i.e.
the correct path cannot be hard-coded.
Naturally, the `sh` argument will be resolved to the full path of said
executable eventually.
To help fixing the bug where `git var GIT_SHELL_PATH` currently does not
reflect that logic, but shows that incorrect hard-coded Unix-style
absolute path, let's resolve the full path to the `sh` executable early
in the `git_shell_path()` function so that we can use it in `git var`,
too, and be sure that the output is equivalent to what `run_command()`
does when it is asked to execute a command-line using a Unix shell.

Use of the `the_repository` variable is deprecated nowadays, and we
slowly but steadily convert the codebase to not use it anymore. Instead,
callers should be passing down the repository to work on via parameters.
It is hard though to prove that a given code unit does not use this
variable anymore. The most trivial case, merely demonstrating that there
is no direct use of `the_repository`, is already a bit of a pain during
code reviews as the reviewer needs to manually verify claims made by the
patch author. The bigger problem though is that we have many interfaces
that implicitly rely on `the_repository`.
Introduce a new `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro that allows code
units to opt into usage of `the_repository`. The intent of this macro is
to demonstrate that a certain code unit does not use this variable
anymore, and to keep it from new dependencies on it in future changes,
be it explicit or implicit
For now, the macro only guards `the_repository` itself as well as
`the_hash_algo`. There are many more known interfaces where we have an
implicit dependency on `the_repository`, but those are not guarded at
the current point in time. Over time though, we should start to add
guards as required (or even better, just remove them).
Define the macro as required in our code units. As expected, most of our
code still relies on the global variable. Nearly all of our builtins
rely on the variable as there is no way yet to pass `the_repository` to
their entry point. For now, declare the macro in "biultin.h" to keep the
required changes at least a little bit more contained.

This adds a trace point in start_command so we can see the full
command invocation without having to resort to strace/code inspection.
For example:
$ GIT_TRACE=1 git test foo
git.c:755 trace: exec: git-test foo
run-command.c:657 trace: run_command: git-test foo
run-command.c:657 trace: run_command: 'echo $*' foo
run-command.c:749 trace: start_command: /bin/sh -c 'echo $* "$@"' 'echo $*' foo
Prior changes have made the documentation around the internals of the
alias command execution clearer, but I have still found this detailed
view of the aliased command being run helpful for debugging purposes.
A test case is added to ensure the full command output is present in
the execution flow.

The `run_auto_maintenance()` function is responsible for spawning a new
`git maintenance run --auto` process. To do so, it sets up the `sturct
child_process` and then runs it by executing `run_command()` directly.
This is rather inflexible in case callers want to modify the child
process somewhat, e.g. to redirect stderr or stdout.
Introduce a new `prepare_auto_maintenance()` function to plug this gap.

If execve(2) fails with ENOENT and we report the error, we use the
format "cannot run %s", followed by the actual error message. For other
errors we use "cannot exec '%s'".
Stop making this subtle distinction and use the second format for all
execve(2) errors. This simplifies the code and makes the prefix more
precise by indicating the failed operation. It also allows us to
slightly simplify t1800.16.
On Windows -- which lacks execve(2) -- we already use a single format in
all cases: "cannot spawn %s".

Fix the build problem with NO_PTHREADS defined, a fallout from
recent header file shuffling.
* tb/run-command-needs-alloc-h:
run-command.c: fix missing include under `NO_PTHREADS`
|
|
Git 2.41-rc0 fails to compile run-command.c with `NO_PTHREADS` defined,
i.e.
$ make NO_PTHREADS=1 run-command.o
as `ALLOC_GROW()` macro is used in the `atexit()` emulation but the
macro definition is not available.
This bisects to 36bf195890 (alloc.h: move ALLOC_GROW() functions from
cache.h, 2023-02-24), which replaced includes of <cache.h> with
<alloc.h>, which is the new home of `ALLOC_GROW()` (and
`ALLOC_GROW_BY()`).
We can see that run-command.c is the only one that try to use these
macros without including <alloc.h>.
$ git grep -l -e '[^_]ALLOC_GROW(' -e 'ALLOC_GROW_BY(' \*.c | sort >/tmp/1
$ git grep -l 'alloc\.h' \*.c | sort >/tmp/2
$ comm -23 /tmp/[12]
compat/simple-ipc/ipc-unix-socket.c
run-command.c
The "compat/" file only talks about the macro in the comment,
and is not broken.
We could fix this by conditionally including "alloc.h" when
`NO_PTHREADS` is defined. But we have relatively few examples of
conditional includes throughout the tree[^1].
Instead, include "alloc.h" unconditionally in run-command.c to allow it
to successfully compile even when NO_PTHREADS is defined.
[^1]: With `git grep -E -A1 '#if(n)?def' -- **/*.c | grep '#include' -B1`.

After forking but before exec-ing a command, we install special
error/warn/die handlers in the child. These ignore the error messages
they get, since the idea is that they shouldn't be called in the first
place.
Arguably they could pass along that error message _in addition_ to
saying "error() should not be called in a child", but since the whole
point is to avoid any conflicts on stdio/malloc locks, etc, we're better
to just keep these simple. Seeing them trigger is effectively a bug, and
the developer is probably better off grabbing a stack trace.
But we do want to mark the functions so that -Wunused-parameter doesn't
complain.

While it makes sense not to inherit stdin from the parent process to
avoid deadlocking, it's not necessary to completely ban stdin to
children. An informed user should be able to configure stdin safely. By
setting `some_child.process.no_stdin=1` before calling `get_next_task()`
we provide a reasonable default behavior but enable users to set up
stdin streaming for themselves during the callback.
`some_child.process.stdout_to_stderr`, however, remains unmodifiable by
`get_next_task()` - the rest of the run_processes_parallel() API depends
on child output in stderr.

Fix typos in code comments which repeat various words. Most of the
cases are simple in that they repeat a word that usually cannot be
repeated in a grammatically correct sentence. Just remove the
incorrectly duplicated word in these cases and rewrap text, if needed.
A tricky case is usage of "that that", which is sometimes grammatically
correct. However, an instance of this in "t7527-builtin-fsmonitor.sh"
doesn't need two words "that", because there is only one daemon being
discussed, so replace the second "that" with "the".

As noted in fd3aaf53f71 (run-command: add an "ungroup" option to
run_process_parallel(), 2022-06-07) which added the "ungroup" passing
it to "run_process_parallel()" via the global
"run_processes_parallel_ungroup" variable was a compromise to get the
smallest possible regression fix for "maint" at the time.
This follow-up to that is a start at passing that parameter and others
via a new "struct run_process_parallel_opts", as the earlier
version[1] of what became fd3aaf53f71 did.
Since we need to change all of the occurrences of "n" to
"opt->SOMETHING" let's take the opportunity and rename the terse "n"
to "processes". We could also have picked "max_processes", "jobs",
"threads" etc., but as the API is named "run_processes_parallel()"
let's go with "processes".
Since the new "run_processes_parallel()" function is able to take an
optional "tr2_category" and "tr2_label" via the struct we can at this
point migrate all of the users of "run_processes_parallel_tr2()" over
to it.
But let's not migrate all the API users yet, only the two users that
passed the "ungroup" parameter via the
"run_processes_parallel_ungroup" global

Use a designated initializer to initialize those parts of pp_init()
that don't need any conditionals for their initialization, this sets
us on a path to pp_init() itself into mostly a validation and
allocation function.
Since we're doing that we can add "const" to some of the members of
the "struct parallel_processes", which helps to clarify and
self-document this code. E.g. we never alter the "data" pointer we
pass t user callbacks, nor (after the preceding change to stop
invoking online_cpus()) do we change "max_processes", the same goes
for the "ungroup" option.
We can also do away with a call to strbuf_init() in favor of macro
initialization, and to rely on other fields being NULL'd or zero'd.
Making members of a struct "const" rather that the pointer to the
struct itself is usually painful, as e.g. it precludes us from
incrementally setting up the structure. In this case we only set it up
with the assignment in run_process_parallel() and pp_init(), and don't
pass the struct pointer around as "const", so making individual
members "const" is worth the potential hassle for extra safety.

When a "jobs = 0" is passed let's BUG() out rather than fall back on
online_cpus(). The default behavior was added when this API was
implemented in c553c72eed6 (run-command: add an asynchronous parallel
child processor, 2015-12-15).
Most of our code in-tree that scales up to "online_cpus()" by default
calls that function by itself. Keeping this default behavior just for
the sake of two callers means that we'd need to maintain this one spot
where we're second-guessing the config passed down into pp_init().
The preceding commit has an overview of the API callers that passed
"jobs = 0". There were only two of them (actually three, but they
resolved to these two config parsing codepaths).
The "fetch.parallel" caller already had a test for the
"fetch.parallel=0" case added in 0353c688189 (fetch: do not run a
redundant fetch from submodule, 2022-05-16), but there was no such
test for "submodule.fetchJobs". Let's add one here.

Make the "n" variable added in c553c72eed6 (run-command: add an
asynchronous parallel child processor, 2015-12-15) a "size_t". As
we'll see in a subsequent commit we do pass "0" here, but never "jobs
< 0".
We could have made it an "unsigned int", but as we're having to change
this let's not leave another case in the codebase where a size_t and
"unsigned int" size differ on some platforms. In this case it's likely
to never matter, but it's easier to not need to worry about it.
After this and preceding changes:
make run-command.o DEVOPTS=extra-all CFLAGS=-Wno-unused-parameter
Only has one (and new) -Wsigned-compare warning relevant to a
comparison about our "n" or "{nr,max}_processes": About using our
"n" (size_t) in the same expression as online_cpus() (int). A
subsequent commit will adjust & deal with online_cpus() and that
warning.
The only users of the "n" parameter are:
* builtin/fetch.c: defaults to 1, reads from the "fetch.parallel"
config. As seen in the code that parses the config added in
d54dea77dba (fetch: let --jobs=<n> parallelize --multiple, too,
2019-10-05) will die if the git_config_int() return value is < 0.
It will however pass us n = 0, as we'll see in a subsequent commit.
* submodule.c: defaults to 1, reads from "submodule.fetchJobs"
config. Read via code originally added in a028a1930c6 (fetching
submodules: respect `submodule.fetchJobs` config option, 2016-02-29).
It now piggy-backs on the the submodule.fetchJobs code and
validation added in f20e7c1ea24 (submodule: remove
submodule.fetchjobs from submodule-config parsing, 2017-08-02).
Like builtin/fetch.c it will die if the git_config_int() return
value is < 0, but like builtin/fetch.c it will pass us n = 0.
* builtin/submodule--helper.c: defaults to 1. Read via code
originally added in 2335b870fa7 (submodule update: expose parallelism
to the user, 2016-02-29).
Since f20e7c1ea24 (submodule: remove submodule.fetchjobs from
submodule-config parsing, 2017-08-02) it shares a config parser and
semantics with the submodule.c caller.
* hook.c: hardcoded to 1, see 96e7225b310 (hook: add 'run'
subcommand, 2021-12-22).
* t/helper/test-run-command.c: can be -1 after parsing the arguments,
but will then be overridden to online_cpus() before passing it to
this API. See be5d88e1128 (test-tool run-command: learn to run (parts
of) the testsuite, 2019-10-04).

Change the "run_processes_parallel{,_tr2}()" functions to return void,
instead of int. Ever since c553c72eed6 (run-command: add an
asynchronous parallel child processor, 2015-12-15) they have
unconditionally returned 0.
To get a "real" return value out of this function the caller needs to
get it via the "task_finished_fn" callback, see the example in hook.c
added in 96e7225b310 (hook: add 'run' subcommand, 2021-12-22).
So the "result = " and "if (!result)" code added to "builtin/fetch.c"
d54dea77dba (fetch: let --jobs=<n> parallelize --multiple, too,
2019-10-05) has always been redundant, we always took that "if"
path. Likewise the "ret =" in "t/helper/test-run-command.c" added in
be5d88e1128 (test-tool run-command: learn to run (parts of) the
testsuite, 2019-10-04) wasn't used, instead we got the return value
from the "if (suite.failed.nr > 0)" block seen in the context.
Subsequent commits will alter this API interface, getting rid of this
always-zero return value makes it easier to understand those changes.

Our pipe_command() helper lets you both write to and read from a child
process on its stdin/stdout. It's supposed to work without deadlocks
because we use poll() to check when descriptors are ready for reading or
writing. But there's a bug: if both the data to be written and the data
to be read back exceed the pipe buffer, we'll deadlock.
The issue is that the code assumes that if you have, say, a 2MB buffer
to write and poll() tells you that the pipe descriptor is ready for
writing, that calling:
write(cmd->in, buf, 2*1024*1024);
will do a partial write, filling the pipe buffer and then returning what
it did write. And that is what it would do on a socket, but not for a
pipe. When writing to a pipe, at least on Linux, it will block waiting
for the child process to read() more. And now we have a potential
deadlock, because the child may be writing back to us, waiting for us to
read() ourselves.
An easy way to trigger this is:
git -c add.interactive.useBuiltin=true \
-c interactive.diffFilter=cat \
checkout -p HEAD~200
The diff against HEAD~200 will be big, and the filter wants to write all
of it back to us (obviously this is a dummy filter, but in the real
world something like diff-highlight would similarly stream back a big
output).
If you set add.interactive.useBuiltin to false, the problem goes away,
because now we're not using pipe_command() anymore (instead, that part
happens in perl). But this isn't a bug in the interactive code at all.
It's the underlying pipe_command() code which is broken, and has been
all along.
We presumably didn't notice because most calls only do input _or_
output, not both. And the few that do both, like gpg calls, may have
large inputs or outputs, but never both at the same time (e.g., consider
signing, which has a large payload but a small signature comes back).
The obvious fix is to put the descriptor into non-blocking mode, and
indeed, that makes the problem go away. Callers shouldn't need to
care, because they never see the descriptor (they hand us a buffer to
feed into it).
The included test fails reliably on Linux without this patch. Curiously,
it doesn't fail in our Windows CI environment, but has been reported to
do so for individual developers. It should pass in any environment after
this patch (courtesy of the compat/ layers added in the last few
commits).
