A recent update accidentally squelched an error message when the run_command API failed to run a missing command, which has been corrected. * jc/run-command-report-exec-failure-fix: run-command: report exec failure
2018-12-12run-command: report exec failureLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
In 321fd823 ("run-command: mark path lookup errors with ENOENT", 2018-10-24), we rewrote the logic to execute a command by looking in the directories on $PATH; as a side effect, a request to run a command that is not found on $PATH is noticed even before a child process is forked to execute it. We however stopped to report an exec failure in such a case by mistake. Add a logic to report the error unless silent-exec-failure is requested, to match the original code.

2018-11-05Clean up pthread_create() error handlingLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+1
Normally pthread_create() rarely fails. But with new pthreads wrapper, pthread_create() will return ENOSYS on a system without thread support. Threaded code _is_ protected by HAVE_THREADS and pthread_create() should never run in the first place. But the situation could change in the future and bugs may sneak in. Make sure that all pthread_create() reports the error cause. While at there, mark these strings for translation if they aren't.

On systems that do not support multithread, start_async() is implemented with fork(). This implementation details unfortunately leak out at least in send-pack.c [1]. To keep the code base clean of NO_PTHREADS, move the this #ifdef back to run-command.c.

2018-10-25run-command: mark path lookup errors with ENOENTLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+17
Since commit e3a434468f (run-command: use the async-signal-safe execv instead of execvp, 2017-04-19), prepare_cmd() does its own PATH lookup for any commands we run (on non-Windows platforms). However, its logic does not match the old execvp call when we fail to find a matching entry in the PATH. Instead of feeding the name directly to execv, execvp would consider that an ENOENT error. By continuing and passing the name directly to execv, we effectively behave as if "." was included at the end of the PATH. This can have confusing and even dangerous results. The fix itself is pretty straight-forward. There's a new test in t0061 to cover this explicitly, and I've also added a duplicate of the ENOENT test to ensure that we return the correct errno for this case.

2018-05-06run-command: use BUG() to report bugs, not die()Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-13/+10
The slightly misleading name die_bug() of the function intended to report a bug is actually called always, and only reports a bug if the passed-in parameter `err` is non-zero. It uses die_errno() to report the bug, to helpfully include the error message corresponding to `err`. However, as these messages indicate bugs, we really should use BUG(). And as BUG() is a macro to be able to report the exact file and line number, we need to convert die_bug() to a macro instead of only replacing the die_errno() by a call to BUG().

2018-01-19run-command.c: print program 'git' when tracing git_cmd modeLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+2
We normally print full command line, including the program and its argument. When git_cmd is set, we have a special code path to run the right "git" program and child_process.argv[0] will not contain the program name anymore. As a result, we print just the command arguments. I thought it was a regression when the code was refactored and git_cmd added, but apparently it's not. git_cmd mode was introduced before tracing was added in 8852f5d704 (run_command(): respect GIT_TRACE - 2008-07-07) so it's more like an oversight in 8852f5d704. Fix it, print the program name "git" in git_cmd mode. It's nice to have now. But it will be more important later when we start to print env variables too, in shell syntax.

2017-07-21run_processes_parallel: change confusing task_cb conventionLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+2
By declaring the task_cb parameter of type `void **`, the signature of the get_next_task method suggests that the "task-specific cookie" can be defined in that method, and the signatures of the start_failure and of the task_finished methods declare that parameter of type `void *`, suggesting that those methods are mere users of said cookie. That convention makes a total lot of sense, because the tasks are pretty much dead when one of the latter two methods is called: there would be little use to reset that cookie at that point because nobody would be able to see the change afterwards. However, this is not what the code actually does. For all three methods, it passes the *address* of pp->children[i].data. As reasoned above, this behavior makes no sense. So let's change the implementation to adhere to the convention suggested by the signatures.

2017-04-25run-command: restrict PATH search to executable filesLibravatar Brandon Williams1-1/+18
In some situations run-command will incorrectly try (and fail) to execute a directory instead of an executable file. This was observed by having a directory called "ssh" in $PATH before the real ssh and trying to use ssh protoccol, reslting in the following: $ git ls-remote ssh://url fatal: cannot exec 'ssh': Permission denied It ends up being worse and run-command will even try to execute a non-executable file if it preceeds the executable version of a file on the PATH. For example, if PATH=~/bin1:~/bin2:~/bin3 and there exists a directory 'git-hello' in 'bin1', a non-executable file 'git-hello' in bin2 and an executable file 'git-hello' (which prints "Hello World!") in bin3 the following will occur: $ git hello fatal: cannot exec 'git-hello': Permission denied This is due to only checking 'access()' when locating an executable in PATH, which doesn't distinguish between files and directories. Instead use 'is_executable()' which check that the path is to a regular, executable file. Now run-command won't try to execute the directory or non-executable file 'git-hello': $ git hello Hello World! which matches what execvp(3) would have done when asked to execute git-hello with such a $PATH.

2017-04-20run-command: block signals between fork and execveLibravatar Eric Wong1-0/+68
Signal handlers of the parent firing in the forked child may have unintended side effects. Rather than auditing every signal handler we have and will ever have, block signals while forking and restore default signal handlers in the child before execve. Restoring default signal handlers is required because execve does not unblock signals, it only restores default signal handlers. So we must restore them with sigprocmask before execve, leaving a window when signal handlers we control can fire in the child. Continue ignoring ignored signals, but reset the rest to defaults. Similarly, disable pthread cancellation to future-proof our code in case we start using cancellation; as cancellation is implemented with signals in glibc.

2017-04-20run-command: add note about forking and threadingLibravatar Brandon Williams1-0/+9
All non-Async-Signal-Safe functions (e.g. malloc and die) were removed between 'fork' and 'exec' in start_command in order to avoid potential deadlocking when forking while multiple threads are running. This deadlocking is possible when a thread (other than the one forking) has acquired a lock and didn't get around to releasing it before the fork. This leaves the lock in a locked state in the resulting process with no hope of it ever being released. Add a note describing this potential pitfall before the call to 'fork()' so people working in this section of the code know to only use Async-Signal-Safe functions in the child process.

2017-04-20run-command: use the async-signal-safe execv instead of execvpLibravatar Brandon Williams1-1/+29
Convert the function used to exec from 'execvp()' to 'execv()' as the (p) variant of exec isn't async-signal-safe and has the potential to call malloc during the path resolution it performs. Instead we simply do the path resolution ourselves during the preparation stage prior to forking. There also don't exist any portable (p) variants which also take in an environment to use in the exec'd process. This allows easy migration to using 'execve()' in a future patch. Also, as noted in [1], in the event of an ENOEXEC the (p) variants of exec will attempt to execute the command by interpreting it with the 'sh' utility. To maintain this functionality, if 'execv()' fails with ENOEXEC, start_command will atempt to execute the command by interpreting it with 'sh'.

2017-03-18run-command: fix segfault when cleaning forked async processLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Callers of the run-command API may mark a child as "clean_on_exit"; it gets added to a list and killed when the main process dies. Since commit 46df6906f (execv_dashed_external: wait for child on signal death, 2017-01-06), we respect an extra "wait_after_clean" flag, which we expect to find in the child_process struct. When Git is built with NO_PTHREADS, we start "struct async" processes by forking rather than spawning a thread. The resulting processes get added to the cleanup list but they don't have a child_process struct, and the cleanup function ends up dereferencing NULL. We should notice this case and assume that the processes do not need to be waited for (i.e., the same behavior they had before 46df6906f).

2017-01-09execv_dashed_external: wait for child on signal deathLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+19
When you hit ^C to interrupt a git command going to a pager, this usually leaves the pager running. But when a dashed external is in use, the pager ends up in a funny state and quits (but only after eating one more character from the terminal!). This fixes it. Explaining the reason will require a little background. When git runs a pager, it's important for the git process to hang around and wait for the pager to finish, even though it has no more data to feed it. This is because git spawns the pager as a child, and thus the git process is the session leader on the terminal. After it dies, the pager will finish its current read from the terminal (eating the one character), and then get EIO trying to read again. When you hit ^C, that sends SIGINT to git and to the pager, and it's a similar situation. The pager ignores it, but the git process needs to hang around until the pager is done. We addressed that long ago in a3da882120 (pager: do wait_for_pager on signal death, 2009-01-22). But when you have a dashed external (or an alias pointing to a builtin, which will re-exec git for the builtin), there's an extra process in the mix. For instance, running: $ git -c alias.l=log l will end up with a process tree like: git (parent) \ git-log (child) \ less (pager) If you hit ^C, SIGINT goes to all of them. The pager ignores it, and the child git process will end up in wait_for_pager(). But the parent git process will die, and the usual EIO trouble happens. So we really want the parent git process to wait_for_pager(), but of course it doesn't know anything about the pager at all, since it was started by the child. However, we can have it wait on the git-log child, which in turn is waiting on the pager. And that's what this patch does. There are a few design decisions here worth explaining: 1. The new feature is attached to run-command's clean_on_exit feature. Partly this is convenience, since that feature already has a signal handler that deals with child cleanup. But it's also a meaningful connection. The main reason that dashed externals use clean_on_exit is to bind the two processes together. If somebody kills the parent with a signal, we propagate that to the child (in this instance with SIGINT, we do propagate but it doesn't matter because the original signal went to the whole process group). Likewise, we do not want the parent to go away until the child has done so. In a traditional Unix world, we'd probably accomplish this binding by just having the parent execve() the child directly. But since that doesn't work on Windows, everything goes through run_command's more spawn-like interface. 2. We do _not_ automatically waitpid() on any clean_on_exit children. For dashed externals this makes sense; we know that the parent is doing nothing but waiting for the child to exit anyway. But with other children, it's possible that the child, after getting the signal, could be waiting on the parent to do something (like closing a descriptor). If we were to wait on such a child, we'd end up in a deadlock. So this errs on the side of caution, and lets callers enable the feature explicitly. 3. When we send children the cleanup signal, we send all the signals first, before waiting on any children. This is to avoid the case where one child might be waiting on another one to exit, causing a deadlock. We inform all of them that it's time to die before reaping any. In practice, there is only ever one dashed external run from a given process, so this doesn't matter much now. But it future-proofs us if other callers start using the wait_after_clean mechanism. There's no automated test here, because it would end up racy and unportable. But it's easy to reproduce the situation by running the log command given above and hitting ^C.

2016-06-17run-command: add pipe_command helperLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+147
We already have capture_command(), which captures the stdout of a command in a way that avoids deadlocks. But sometimes we need to do more I/O, like capturing stderr as well, or sending data to stdin. It's easy to write code that deadlocks racily in these situations depending on how fast the command reads its input, or in which order it writes its output. Let's give callers an easy interface for doing this the right way, similar to what capture_command() did for the simple case. The whole thing is backed by a generic poll() loop that can feed an arbitrary number of buffers to descriptors, and fill an arbitrary number of strbufs from other descriptors. This seems like overkill, but the resulting code is actually a bit cleaner than just handling the three descriptors (because the output code for stdout/stderr is effectively duplicated, so being able to loop is a benefit).

2016-05-04hooks: allow customizing where the hook directory isLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+4
Change the hardcoded lookup for .git/hooks/* to optionally lookup in $(git config core.hooksPath)/* instead. This is essentially a more intrusive version of the git-init ability to specify hooks on init time via init templates. The difference between that facility and this feature is that this can be set up after the fact via e.g. ~/.gitconfig or /etc/gitconfig to apply for all your personal repositories, or all repositories on the system. I plan on using this on a centralized Git server where users can create arbitrary repositories under /gitroot, but I'd like to manage all the hooks that should be run centrally via a unified dispatch mechanism.

"git push" from a corrupt repository that attempts to push a large number of refs deadlocked; the thread to relay rejection notices for these ref updates blocked on writing them to the main thread, after the main thread at the receiving end notices that the push failed and decides not to read these notices and return a failure. * jk/push-client-deadlock-fix: t5504: drop sigpipe=ok from push tests fetch-pack: isolate sigpipe in demuxer thread send-pack: isolate sigpipe in demuxer thread run-command: teach async threads to ignore SIGPIPE send-pack: close demux pipe before finishing async process
2016-04-20run-command: teach async threads to ignore SIGPIPELibravatar Jeff King1-0/+10
Async processes can be implemented as separate forked processes, or as threads (depending on the NO_PTHREADS setting). In the latter case, if an async thread gets SIGPIPE, it takes down the whole process. This is obviously bad if the main process was not otherwise going to die, but even if we were going to die, it means the main process does not have a chance to report a useful error message. There's also the small matter that forked async processes will not take the main process down on a signal, meaning git will behave differently depending on the NO_PTHREADS setting. This patch fixes it by adding a new flag to "struct async" to block SIGPIPE just in the async thread. In theory, this should always be on (which makes async threads behave more like async processes), but we would first want to make sure that each async process we spawn is careful about checking return codes from write() and would not spew endlessly into a dead pipe. So let's start with it as optional, and we can enable it for specific sites in future patches. The natural name for this option would be "ignore_sigpipe", since that's what it does for the threaded case. But since that name might imply that we are ignoring it in all cases (including the separate-process one), let's call it "isolate_sigpipe". What we are really asking for is isolation. I.e., not to have our main process taken down by signals spawned by the async process. How that is implemented is up to the run-command code.

2016-03-01run_processes_parallel: rename parameters for the callbacksLibravatar Stefan Beller1-2/+2
The refs code has a similar pattern of passing around 'struct strbuf *err', which is strictly used for error reporting. This is not the case here, as the strbuf is used to accumulate all the output (whether it is error or not) for the user. Rename it to 'out'.
