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.

The files config.{h,c} contain functions that have to do with parsing,
but not config.
In order to further reduce all-in-one headers, separate out functions in
config.c that do not operate on config into its own file, parse.h,
and update the include directives in the .c files that need only such
functions accordingly.

This uses atoi() and checks if the result is not zero to decide what
to do. Turning it into the usual Boolean environment variable to
use git_env_bool() would not break those who have been using "set to
0, or set to non-zero, that can be parsed with atoi()" values, but
will match the expectation of those who expected "true" to mean
"yes".

This commit introduces the infrastructure for the core.fsync
configuration knob. The repository components we want to sync
are identified by flags so that we can turn on or off syncing
for specific components.
If core.fsyncObjectFiles is set and the core.fsync configuration
also includes FSYNC_COMPONENT_LOOSE_OBJECT, we will fsync any
loose objects. This picks the strictest data integrity behavior
if core.fsync and core.fsyncObjectFiles are set to conflicting values.
This change introduces the currently unused fsync_component
helper, which will be used by a later patch that adds fsyncing to
the refs backend.
Actual configuration and documentation of the fsync components
list are in other patches in the series to separate review of
the underlying mechanism from the policy of how it's configured.

This commit introduces the `core.fsyncMethod` configuration
knob, which can currently be set to `fsync` or `writeout-only`.
The new writeout-only mode attempts to tell the operating system to
flush its in-memory page cache to the storage hardware without issuing a
CACHE_FLUSH command to the storage controller.
Writeout-only fsync is significantly faster than a vanilla fsync on
common hardware, since data is written to a disk-side cache rather than
all the way to a durable medium. Later changes in this patch series will
take advantage of this primitive to implement batching of hardware
flushes.
When git_fsync is called with FSYNC_WRITEOUT_ONLY, it may fail and the
caller is expected to do an ordinary fsync as needed.
On Apple platforms, the fsync system call does not issue a CACHE_FLUSH
directive to the storage controller. This change updates fsync to do
fcntl(F_FULLFSYNC) to make fsync actually durable. We maintain parity
with existing behavior on Apple platforms by setting the default value
of the new core.fsyncMethod option.

Allow running our tests while disabling fsync.
* ew/test-wo-fsync:
tests: disable fsync everywhere
|
|
The "GIT_TEST_FSYNC" environment variable now exists for
disabling fsync() even on packfiles and other "critical" data.
Running "make test -j8 NO_SVN_TESTS=1" on a noisy 8-core system
on an HDD, test runtime drops from ~4 minutes down to ~3 minutes.
Using "GIT_TEST_FSYNC=1" re-enables fsync() for comparison
purposes.
SVN interopability tests are minimally affected since SVN will
still use fsync in various places.
This will also be useful for 3rd-party tools which create
throwaway git repositories of temporary data, but remains
undocumented for end users.

This adds three new functions to pkt-line.c: packet_fwrite,
packet_fwrite_fmt and packet_fflush. Besides writing a pktline flush
packet, packet_fflush also flushes the stdio buffer of the stream.

Some platforms, like NonStop do not automatically restart fsync()
when interrupted by a signal, even when that signal is setup with
SA_RESTART.
This can lead to test breakage, e.g., where "--progress" is used,
thus SIGALRM is sent often, and can interrupt an fsync() syscall.
Make sure we deal with such a case by retrying the syscall
ourselves. Luckily, we call fsync() fron a single wrapper,
fsync_or_die(), so the fix is fairly isolated.

This is more consistent with the project style. The majority of Git's
source files use dashes in preference to underscores in their file names.
