git-grep uses 'grep_read_mutex' to protect its calls to object reading
operations. But these have their own internal lock now, which ensures a
better performance (allowing parallel access to more regions). So, let's
remove the former and, instead, activate the latter with
enable_obj_read_lock().
Sections that are currently protected by 'grep_read_mutex' but are not
internally protected by the object reading lock should be surrounded by
obj_read_lock() and obj_read_unlock(). These guarantee mutual exclusion
with object reading operations, keeping the current behavior and
avoiding race conditions. Namely, these places are:
In grep.c:
- fill_textconv() at fill_textconv_grep().
- userdiff_get_textconv() at grep_source_1().
In builtin/grep.c:
- parse_object_or_die() and the submodule functions at
grep_submodule().
- deref_tag() and gitmodules_config_oid() at grep_objects().
If these functions become thread-safe, in the future, we might remove
the locking and probably get some speedup.
Note that some of the submodule functions will already be thread-safe
(or close to being thread-safe) with the internal object reading lock.
However, as some of them will require additional modifications to be
removed from the critical section, this will be done in its own patch.

git-grep uses an internal grep_read_mutex to protect object reading
operations. Similarly, there's a grep_attr_mutex to protect calls to the
gitattributes machinery. However, two of the three functions protected
by the last mutex may also perform object reading, as seen below:
- userdiff_get_textconv() > notes_cache_init() >
notes_cache_match_validity() > lookup_commit_reference_gently() >
parse_object() > repo_has_object_file() >
repo_has_object_file_with_flags() > oid_object_info_extended()
- userdiff_find_by_path() > git_check_attr() > collect_some_attrs() >
prepare_attr_stack() > read_attr() > read_attr_from_index() >
read_blob_data_from_index() > read_object_file()
As these calls are not protected by grep_read_mutex, there might be race
conditions with other threads performing object reading (e.g. threads
calling fill_textconv() at grep.c:fill_textconv_grep()). To prevent
that, let's make sure to acquire the lock before both of these calls.
Note: this patch might slow down the threaded grep in worktree, for the
sake of thread-safeness. However, in the following patches, we should
regain performance by replacing grep_read_mutex for an internal object
reading lock and allowing parallel inflation during object reading.

Previously, the void pcre2_free() function in grep.c returned free().
While free() itself is void, afaict it's still an expression as per
section A.2.3, subsection 6.8.6 (jump-statement) in both C99 [1] and C11
[2]:
> return expression
Section 6.8.6.4 in C99 [1] and C11 [2] says that:
> A return statement with an expression shall not appear in a function
> whose return type is void.
The consequence of the old behavior was that developer builds with
pedantic errors enabled broke Git if PCRE2 was enabled and a
smart-enough compiler to detect these errors was used. This commit
fixes pedantic builds of Git that enables --with-libpcre.

94da9193a6 (grep: add support for PCRE v2, 2017-06-01) didn't include
a way to override the system allocator, and so it is incompatible with
custom allocators (e.g. nedmalloc). This problem became obvious when we
tried to plug a memory leak by `free()`ing a data structure allocated by
PCRE2, triggering a segfault in Windows (where we use nedmalloc by
default).
PCRE2 requires the use of a general context to override the allocator
and therefore, there is a lot more code needed than in PCRE1, including
a couple of wrapper functions.
Extend the grep API with a "destructor" that could be called to cleanup
any objects that were created and used globally.
Update `builtin/grep.c` to use that new API, but any other future users
should make sure to have matching `grep_init()`/`grep_destroy()` calls
if they are using the pattern matching functionality.
Move some of the logic that was before done per thread (in the workers)
into an earlier phase to avoid degrading performance, but as the use of
PCRE2 with custom allocators is better understood it is expected more of
its functions will be instructed to use the custom allocator as well as
was done in the original code[1] this work was based on.

63e7e9d8b6 ("git-grep: Learn PCRE", 2011-05-09) didn't include a way
to override the system alocator, and so it is incompatible with
USE_NED_ALLOCATOR as reported by Dscho[1] (in similar code from PCRE2)
Note that nedmalloc, as well as other custom allocators like jemalloc
and mi-malloc, can be configured at runtime (via `LD_PRELOAD`),
therefore we cannot know at compile time whether a custom allocator is
used or not.
Make the minimum change possible to ensure this combination is supported
by extending `grep_init()` to set the PCRE1 specific functions to Git's
idea of `malloc()` and `free()` and therefore making sure all
allocations are done inside PCRE1 with the same allocator than the rest
of Git.
This change has negligible performance impact: PCRE needs to allocate
memory once per program run for the character table and for each pattern
compilation. These are both rare events compared to matching patterns
against lines. Actual measurements[2] show that the impact is lost in
the noise.

Make sure the grep machinery does not abort when seeing a payload
that is not UTF-8 even when JIT is not in use with PCRE1.
* cb/skip-utf8-check-with-pcre1:
grep: skip UTF8 checks explicitly
|
|
18547aacf5 ("grep/pcre: support utf-8", 2016-06-25) that was released
with git 2.10 added the PCRE_UTF8 flag to PCRE1 matching including a
call to has_non_ascii() to try to avoid breakage if there was non-utf8
encoded content in the haystack.
Usually PCRE is compiled with JIT support (even if is not the default),
and therefore the codepath used includes calling pcre_jit_exec, which
skips UTF-8 validation by design (which might result in crashes or hangs)
but when JIT support wasn't compiled we use pcre_exec instead with the
posibility that grep might be aborted if invalid UTF-8 is found in the
haystack.
PCRE1 provides a flag since Mar 5, 2007 that could be used to skip the
checks explicitly so use that to make both codepaths equivalent (the
flag is ignored by pcre1_jit_exec)
this fix is only implemented for PCRE1 because PCRE2 is likely to have
a better solution (without the risks) instead in the future

support was desired and relied on the fact that a non JIT
enabled library will ignore a request for JIT compilation
(as defined by the second parameter of the call to pcre_study)

BUG() message fix.
The codepath may want to just simply be removed, though.
* bb/grep-pcre2-bug-message-fix:
grep: print the pcre2_jit_on value
|
|
As discussed in the last commit partially fix a bug introduced in
b65abcafc7 ("grep: use PCRE v2 for optimized fixed-string search",
2019-07-01). Because PCRE v2, unlike kwset, validates its UTF-8 input
we'd die on e.g.:
fatal: pcre2_match failed with error code -22: UTF-8 error:
isolated byte with 0x80 bit set
When grepping a non-ASCII fixed string. This is a more general problem
that's hard to fix, but we can at least fix the most common case of
grepping for a fixed string without "-i". I can't think of a reason
for why we'd turn on PCRE2_UTF when matching byte-for-byte like that.

Since my b65abcafc7 ("grep: use PCRE v2 for optimized fixed-string
search", 2019-07-01) we've been dying on invalid UTF-8 data when
grepping for fixed strings if the following are all true:
* The subject string is non-ASCII (e.g. "ævar")
* We're under a is_utf8_locale(), e.g. "en_US.UTF-8", not "C"
* We compiled with PCRE v2
* That PCRE v2 did not have JIT support
The last of those is why this wasn't caught earlier, per pcre2jit(3):
"unless PCRE2_NO_UTF_CHECK is set, a UTF subject string is tested
for validity. In the interests of speed, these checks do not
happen on the JIT fast path, and if invalid data is passed, the
result is undefined."
I.e. the subject being matched against our pattern was invalid, but we
were lucky and getting away with it on the JIT path, but the non-JIT
one is stricter.
This patch does nothing to fix that, instead we sneak in support for
fixed patterns starting with "(*NO_JIT)", this disables the PCRE v2
jit with implicit fixed-string matching for testing, see
pcre2syntax(3) the syntax.
This is technically a change in behavior, but it's so obscure that I
figured it was OK. We'd previously consider this an invalid regular
expression as regcomp() would die on it, now we feed it to the PCRE v2
fixed-string path. I thought this was better than introducing yet
another GIT_TEST_* environment variable.
We're also relying on a behavior of PCRE v2 that technically could
change, but I think the test coverage is worth dipping our toe into
some somewhat undefined behavior.

Simplify the PCRE v1 code for the same reasons as for the PCRE v2 code
in the last commit. Unlike with v2 we actually used the custom stack
in v1, but let's use PCRE's built-in 32 KB one instead, since
experience with v2 shows that's enough. Most distros are already using
v2 as a default, and the underlying sljit code is the same.
Unfortunately we can't just pass a NULL to pcre_jit_exec() as with
pcre2_jit_match(). Unlike the v2 function it doesn't support
that. Instead we need to use the fatter pcre_exec() if we'd like the
same behavior.
This will make things slightly slower than on the fast-path function,
but it's OK since we care less about v1 performance these days since
we have and recommend v2. Running a similar performance test as what I
ran in fbaceaac47 ("grep: add support for the PCRE v1 JIT API",
2017-05-25) via:
GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=30 GIT_PERF_LARGE_REPO=~/g/linux GIT_PERF_MAKE_OPTS='-j8 USE_LIBPCRE1=Y CFLAGS=-O3 LIBPCREDIR=/home/avar/g/pcre/inst' ./run HEAD~ HEAD p7820-grep-engines.sh
Gives us this, just the /perl/ results:

It will also implicitly re-enable UTF-8 validation for PCRE v1. As
noted in [1] we now have cases as a result where PCRE v1 is more eager
to error out. Subsequent patches will fix that for v2, and I think
it's fair to tell v1 users "just upgrade" and not worry about that
edge case for v1.

As reported in [1] the code I added in 94da9193a6 ("grep: add support
for PCRE v2", 2017-06-01) to use a custom JIT stack has never
worked. It was incorrectly copy/pasted from code I added in
fbaceaac47 ("grep: add support for the PCRE v1 JIT API", 2017-05-25),
which did work.
Thus our intention of starting with 1 byte of stack at a maximum of 1
MB didn't happen, we'd always use the 32 KB stack provided by PCRE
v2's jit_machine_stack_exec()[2]. The reason I allocated a custom
stack at all was this advice in pcrejit(3) (same in pcre2jit(3)):
"By default, it uses 32KiB on the machine stack. However, some
large or complicated patterns need more than this"
Since we've haven't had any reports of users running into
PCRE2_ERROR_JIT_STACKLIMIT in the wild I think we can safely assume
that we can just use the library defaults instead and drop this
code. This won't change with the wider use of PCRE v2 in
ed0479ce3d ("Merge branch 'ab/no-kwset' into next", 2019-07-15), a
fixed string search is not a "large or complicated pattern".
For good measure I ran the performance test noted in 94da9193a6,
although the command is simpler now due to my 0f50c8e32c ("Makefile:
remove the NO_R_TO_GCC_LINKER flag", 2019-05-17):
GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=30 GIT_PERF_LARGE_REPO=~/g/linux GIT_PERF_MAKE_OPTS='-j8 USE_LIBPCRE2=Y CFLAGS=-O3 LIBPCREDIR=/home/avar/g/pcre2/inst' ./run HEAD~ HEAD p7820-grep-engines.sh
Just the /perl/ results are:
Test HEAD~ HEAD
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7820.3: perl grep 'how.to' 0.17(0.27+0.65) 0.17(0.24+0.68) +0.0%
7820.7: perl grep '^how to' 0.16(0.23+0.66) 0.16(0.23+0.67) +0.0%

So, as expected there's no change, and running with valgrind reveals
that we have fewer allocations now.
As noted in [3] there are known regexes that will fail with the lower
stack limit, the way GNU grep fixed it is interesting, although I
believe the implementation is overly verbose, they could make PCRE v2
handle that gradual re-allocation, that's what min/max memory is
for.
So we might end up bringing this back, I'm more inclined to just kick
such cases upstairs to PCRE maintainers as a bug, perhaps they'll add
some overall "just allocate more then" flag to make this easier. In
any case there's no functional change here, we didn't have a custom
stack, so let's apply this first, we can always revert it later.
1. https://public-inbox.org/git/20190721194052.15440-1-carenas@gmail.com/
2. I didn't really intend to start with 1 byte, looking at the PCRE v2
code again what happened is that I cargo-culted some of PCRE v2's
own test code which was meant to test re-allocations. It's more
sane to start with say 32 KB with a max of 1 MB, as pcre2grep.c
does.

Bring back optimized fixed-string search for "grep", this time with
PCRE v2 as an optional backend. As noted in [1] with kwset we were
slower than PCRE v1 and v2 JIT with the kwset backend, so that
optimization was counterproductive.
This brings back the optimization for "--fixed-strings", without
changing the semantics of having a NUL-byte in patterns. As seen in
previous commits in this series we could support it now, but I'd
rather just leave that edge-case aside so we don't have one behavior
or the other depending what "--fixed-strings" backend we're using. It
makes the behavior harder to understand and document, and makes tests
for the different backends more painful.
This does change the behavior under non-C locales when "log"'s
"--encoding" option is used and the heystack/needle in the
content/command-line doesn't have a matching encoding. See the recent
change in "t4210: skip more command-line encoding tests on MinGW" in
this series. I think that's OK. We did nothing sensible before
then (just compared raw bytes that had no hope of matching). At least
now the user will get some idea why their grep/log never matches in
that edge case.
I could also support the PCRE v1 backend here, but that would make the
code more complex. I'd rather aim for simplicity here and in future
changes to the diffcore. We're not going to have someone who
absolutely must have faster search, but for whom building PCRE v2
isn't acceptable.
The difference between this series of commits and the current "master"
is, using the same t/perf commands shown in the last commit:

So as with e05b027627 ("grep: use PCRE v2 for optimized fixed-string
search", 2019-06-26) there's a huge improvement in performance for
"grep", but in "log" most of our time is spent elsewhere, so we don't
notice it that much.

A later change will replace this optimization with optimistic use of
PCRE v2. I'm completely removing it as an intermediate step, as
opposed to replacing it with PCRE v2, to demonstrate that no grep
semantics depend on this (or any other) optimization for the fixed
backend anymore.
For now this is mostly (but not entirely) a performance regression, as
shown by this hacky one-liner:
for opt in '' ' -i'
do
GIT_PERF_7821_GREP_OPTS=$opt GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=10 GIT_PERF_LARGE_REPO=~/g/linux GIT_PERF_MAKE_OPTS='-j8 CFLAGS=-O3 USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease' ./run origin/master HEAD -- p7821-grep-engines-fixed.sh
done &&

Some of those, as noted in [1] are because PCRE is faster at finding
fixed strings. This looks bad for some engines, but in the next change
we'll optimistically use PCRE v2 for all of these, so it'll look
better.

Change "-f <file>" to not support patterns with a NUL-byte in them
under --fixed-strings. We'll now only support these under
"--perl-regexp" with PCRE v2.
A previous change to grep's documentation changed the description of
"-f <file>" to be vague enough as to not promise that this would work.
By dropping support for this we make it a whole lot easier to move
away from the kwset backend, which we'll do in a subsequent change.

The behavior of "grep" when patterns contained a NUL-byte has always
been haphazard, and has served the vagaries of the implementation more
than anything else. A pattern containing a NUL-byte can only be
provided via "-f <file>". Since pickaxe (log search) has no such flag
the NUL-byte in patterns has only ever been supported by "grep" (and
not "log --grep").
Since 9eceddeec6 ("Use kwset in grep", 2011-08-21) patterns containing
"\0" were considered fixed. In 966be95549 ("grep: add tests to fix
blind spots with \0 patterns", 2017-05-20) I added tests for this
behavior.
Change the behavior to do the obvious thing, i.e. don't silently
discard a regex pattern and make it implicitly fixed just because they
contain a NUL-byte. Instead die if the backend in question can't
handle them, e.g. --basic-regexp is combined with such a pattern.
This is desired because from a user's point of view it's the obvious
thing to do. Whether we support BRE/ERE/Perl syntax is different from
whether our implementation is limited by C-strings. These patterns are
obscure enough that I think this behavior change is OK, especially
since we never documented the old behavior.
Doing this also makes it easier to replace the kwset backend with
something else, since we'll no longer strictly need it for anything we
can't easily use another fixed-string backend for.

Since e944d9d932 ("grep: rewrite an if/else condition to avoid
duplicate expression", 2016-06-25) the "ascii_only" variable has only
been used once in compile_regexp(), let's just inline it there.
This makes the code easier to read, and might make it marginally
faster depending on compiler optimizations.

Fix a bug introduced in 18547aacf5 ("grep/pcre: support utf-8",
2016-06-25) that was missed due to a blindspot in our tests, as
discussed in the previous commit. I then blindly copied the same bug
in 94da9193a6 ("grep: add support for PCRE v2", 2017-06-01) when
adding the PCRE v2 code.
We should not tell PCRE that we're processing UTF-8 just because we're
dealing with non-ASCII. In the case of e.g. "log --encoding=<...>"
under is_utf8_locale() the haystack might be in ISO-8859-1, and the
needle might be in a non-UTF-8 encoding.
Maybe we should be more strict here and die earlier? Should we also be
converting the needle to the encoding in question, and failing if it's
not a string that's valid in that encoding? Maybe.
But for now matching this as non-UTF8 at least has some hope of
producing sensible results, since we know that our default heuristic
of assuming the text to be matched is in the user locale encoding
isn't true when we've explicitly encoded it to be in a different
encoding.

grep_source(), which performs much of the work for Git's grep library,
allows passing an arbitrary struct grep_source which represents the text
which grep_source() should search to match a pattern in the provided
struct grep_opt. In most callers, the grep_source::name field is set to
an appropriate prefix to print before a colon when a result matches:
README:Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General
One caller, grep_buffer(), leaves the grep_source::name field set to
NULL because there isn't enough context to determine an appropriate name
for this kind of output line. In practice, this has been fine: the only
caller of grep_buffer() is "git log --grep", and that caller sets
grep_opt::status_only, which disables output and only checks whether a
match exists. But this is brittle: a future caller can call
grep_buffer() without grep_opt::status_only set, and as soon as it hits
a match, grep_source() will try to print the match and segfault:
(null):Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General
For example, a future caller might want to print all matching lines from
commits which match a regex.
Futureproof by diagnosing early a use of the API that could trigger that
condition, before we know whether the pattern matches:
BUG: grep.c:1783: grep call which could print a name requires
grep_source.name be non-NULL
Aborted
This way, the caller's author gets an indication of how to fix the issue
- by providing grep_source::name or setting grep_opt::status_only - and
they are warned of the potential for a segfault unconditionally, rather
than only if there is a match.
Noticed while adding such a call to a tutorial on revision walks.

Teach 'git grep --only-matching', a new option to only print the
matching part(s) of a line.
For instance, a line containing the following (taken from README.md:27):
(`man gitcvs-migration` or `git help cvs-migration` if git is
Is printed as follows:
$ git grep --line-number --column --only-matching -e git -- \
README.md | grep ":27"
README.md:27:7:git
README.md:27:16:git
README.md:27:38:git
The patch works mostly as one would expect, with the exception of a few
considerations that are worth mentioning here.
Like GNU grep, this patch ignores --only-matching when --invert (-v) is
given. There is a sensible answer here, but parity with the behavior of
other tools is preferred.
Because a line might contain more than one match, there are special
considerations pertaining to when to print line headers, newlines, and
how to increment the match column offset. The line header and newlines
are handled as a special case within the main loop to avoid polluting
the surrounding code with conditionals that have large blocks.

The grep code invokes show_line() to display the contents of a matched
or context line in its output. Part of this execution is to print a line
header that includes information such as the kind, the line- and
column-number and etc. of that match.
To prepare for the addition of an option to print only the matching
component(s) of a non-context line, we must prepare for the possibility
that a single line may contain multiple matching parts, and thus will
need multiple headers printed for a single line.
Extracting show_line_header allows us to do just that. In the subsequent
commit, it will be used within the colorization loop to print out only
the matching parts of a line, optionally with LFs delimiting
sub-matches.

Continuing with the idea to programatically enumerate various
pieces of data required for command line completion, teach the
codebase to report the list of configuration variables
subcommands care about to help complete them.
* nd/complete-config-vars:
completion: complete general config vars in two steps
log-tree: allow to customize 'grafted' color
completion: support case-insensitive config vars
completion: keep other config var completion in camelCase
completion: drop the hard coded list of config vars
am: move advice.amWorkDir parsing back to advice.c
advice: keep config name in camelCase in advice_config[]
fsck: produce camelCase config key names
help: add --config to list all available config
fsck: factor out msg_id_info[] lazy initialization code
grep: keep all colors in an array
Add and use generic name->id mapping code for color slot parsing

To support showing the matched column when calling 'git-grep(1)', teach
'grep_opt' the normal set of options to configure the default behavior
and colorization of this feature.
Now that we have opt->columnnum, use it to disable short-circuiting over
ORs and ANDs so that col and icol are always filled with the earliest
matches on each line. In addition, don't return the first match from
match_line(), for the same reason.

When calling match_line(), callers presently cannot determine the
relative offset of the match because match_line() discards the
'regmatch_t' that contains this information.
Instead, teach match_line() to take in two 'ssize_t's. Fill the first
with the offset of the match produced by the given expression. If
extended, fill the later with the offset of the match produced as if
--invert were given.
For instance, matching "--not -e x" on this line produces a columnar
offset of 0, (i.e., the whole line does not contain an x), but "--invert
--not -e -x" will fill the later ssize_t of the column containing an
"x", because this expression is semantically equivalent to "-e x".
To determine the column for the inverted and non-inverted case, do the
following:
- If matching an atom, the non-inverted column is as given from
match_one_pattern(), and the inverted column is unset.
- If matching a --not, the inverted column and non-inverted column
swap.
- If matching an --and, or --or, the non-inverted column is the
minimum of the two children.
Presently, the existing short-circuiting logic for AND and OR applies as
before. This will change in the following commit when we add options to
configure the --column flag. Taken together, this and the forthcoming
change will always yield the earlier column on a given line.
This patch will become useful when we later pick between the two new
results in order to display the column number of the first match on a
line with --column.

We used to call regfree() after regcomp() failed in some codepaths,
which have been corrected.

Sometimes it helps to list all available config vars so the user can
search for something they want. The config man page can also be used
but it's harder to search if you want to focus on the variable name,
for example.
This is not the best way to collect the available config since it's
not precise. Ideally we should have a centralized list of config in C
code (pretty much like 'struct option'), but that's a lot more work.
This will do for now.

It is apparently undefined behavior to call `regfree()` on a regex where
`regcomp()` failed. The language in [1] is a bit muddy, at least to me,
but the clearest hint is this (`preg` is the `regex_t *`):
Upon successful completion, the regcomp() function shall return 0.
Otherwise, it shall return an integer value indicating an error as
described in <regex.h>, and the content of preg is undefined.
Funnily enough, there is also the `regerror()` function which should be
given a pointer to such a "failed" `regex_t` -- the content of which
would supposedly be undefined -- and which may investigate it to come up
with a detailed error message.
In any case, the example in that document shows how `regfree()` is not
called after `regcomp()` fails.
We have quite a few users of this API and most get this right. These
three users do not.
Several implementations can handle this just fine [2] and these code paths
supposedly have not wreaked havoc or we'd have heard about it. (These
are all in code paths where git got bad input and is just about to die
anyway.) But let's just avoid the issue altogether.

This should make these functions easier to find and cache.h less
overwhelming to read.
In particular, this moves:
- read_object_file
- oid_object_info
- write_object_file
As a result, most of the codebase needs to #include object-store.h.
In this patch the #include is only added to files that would fail to
compile otherwise. It would be better to #include wherever
identifiers from the header are used. That can happen later
when we have better tooling for it.
