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).

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

send-pack: close demux pipe before finishing async process
|

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.

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

The expected way to pass data into the callback is to pass them via
the customizable callback pointer. The error reporting in
default_{start_failure, task_finished} is not user friendly enough, that
we want to encourage using the child data for such purposes.
Furthermore the struct child data is cleaned by the run-command API,
before we access them in the callbacks, leading to use-after-free

When write_or_die() sees EPIPE, it treats it specially by
converting it into a SIGPIPE death. We obviously cannot
ignore it, as the write has failed and the caller expects us
to die. But likewise, we cannot just call die(), because
printing any message at all would be a nuisance during
normal operations.
However, this is a problem if write_or_die() is called from
a thread. Our raised signal ends up killing the whole
process, when logically we just need to kill the thread
(after all, if we are ignoring SIGPIPE, there is good reason
to think that the main thread is expecting to handle it).
Inside an async thread, the die() code already does the
right thing, because we use our custom die_async() routine,
which calls pthread_join(). So ideally we would piggy-back
on that, and simply call:
die_quietly_with_code(141);
or similar. But refactoring the die code to do this is
surprisingly non-trivial. The die_routines themselves handle
both printing and the decision of the exit code. Every one
of them would have to be modified to take new parameters for
the code, and to tell us to be quiet.
Instead, we can just teach write_or_die() to check for the
async case and handle it specially. We do have to build an
interface to abstract the async exit, but it's simple and
self-contained. If we had many call-sites that wanted to do
this die_quietly_with_code(), this approach wouldn't scale
as well, but we don't. This is the only place where do this
weird exit trick.

These functions transform an existing argv into one suitable
for exec-ing or spawning via git or a shell. We can use an
argv_array in each to avoid dealing with manual counting and
allocation.
This also makes the memory allocation more clear and fixes
some leaks. In prepare_shell_cmd, we would sometimes
allocate a new string with "$@" in it and sometimes not,
meaning the caller could not correctly free it. On the
non-Windows side, we are in a child process which will
exec() or exit() immediately, so the leak isn't a big deal.
On Windows, though, we use spawn() from the parent process,
and leak a string for each shell command we run. On top of
that, the Windows code did not free the allocated argv array
at all (but does for the prepare_git_cmd case!).
By switching both of these functions to write into an
argv_array, we can consistently free the result as
appropriate.

When git executes a sub-command, we print a warning if the
command dies due to a signal, but make an exception for
"uninteresting" cases like SIGINT and SIGQUIT (since the
user presumably just hit ^C).
We should make a similar exception for SIGPIPE, because it's
an expected and uninteresting return in most cases; it
generally means the user quit the pager before git had
finished generating all output. This used to be very hard
to trigger in practice, because:
1. We only complain if we see a real SIGPIPE death, not
the shell-induced 141 exit code. This means that
anything we run via the shell does not trigger the
warning, which includes most non-trivial aliases.
2. The common case for SIGPIPE is the user quitting the
pager before git has finished generating all output.
But if the user triggers a pager with "-p", we redirect
the git wrapper's stderr to that pager, too. Since the
pager is dead, it means that the message goes nowhere.
3. You can see it if you run your own pager, like
"git foo | head". But that only happens if "foo" is a
non-builtin (so it doesn't work with "log", for
example).
However, it may become more common after 86d26f2, which
teaches alias to re-exec builtins rather than running them
in the same process. This case doesn't trigger (1), as we
don't need a shell to run a git command. It doesn't trigger
(2), because the pager is not started by the original git,
but by the inner re-exec of git. And it doesn't trigger (3),
because builtins are treated more like non-builtins in this
case.
Given how flaky this message already is (e.g., you cannot
even know whether you will see it, as git optimizes out some
shell invocations behind the scenes based on the contents of
the command!), and that it is unlikely to ever provide
useful information, let's suppress it for all cases of
SIGPIPE.

This allows to run external commands in parallel with ordered output
on stderr.
If we run external commands in parallel we cannot pipe the output directly
to the our stdout/err as it would mix up. So each process's output will
flow through a pipe, which we buffer. One subprocess can be directly
piped to out stdout/err for a low latency feedback to the user.
Example:
Let's assume we have 5 submodules A,B,C,D,E and each fetch takes a
different amount of time as the different submodules vary in size, then
the output of fetches in sequential order might look like this:
time -->
output: |---A---| |-B-| |-------C-------| |-D-| |-E-|
When we schedule these submodules into maximal two parallel processes,
a schedule and sample output over time may look like this:
process 1: |---A---| |-D-| |-E-|
process 2: |-B-| |-------C-------|
output: |---A---|B|---C-------|DE
So A will be perceived as it would run normally in the single child
version. As B has finished by the time A is done, we can dump its whole
progress buffer on stderr, such that it looks like it finished in no
time. Once that is done, C is determined to be the visible child and
its progress will be reported in real time.
So this way of output is really good for human consumption, as it only
changes the timing, not the actual output.
For machine consumption the output needs to be prepared in the tasks,
by either having a prefix per line or per block to indicate whose tasks
output is displayed, because the output order may not follow the
original sequential ordering:
|----A----| |--B--| |-C-|
will be scheduled to be all parallel:
process 1: |----A----|
process 2: |--B--|
process 3: |-C-|
output: |----A----|CB
This happens because C finished before B did, so it will be queued for
output before B.
To detect when a child has finished executing, we check interleaved
with other actions (such as checking the liveliness of children or
starting new processes) whether the stderr pipe still exists. Once a
child closed its stderr stream, we assume it is terminating very soon,
and use `finish_command()` from the single external process execution
interface to collect the exit status.
By maintaining the strong assumption of stderr being open until the
very end of a child process, we can avoid other hassle such as an
implementation using `waitpid(-1)`, which is not implemented in Windows.

Since the commit a3da8821208d (pager: do wait_for_pager on signal
death), we call wait_for_pager() in the pager's signal handler. The
recent bug report revealed that this causes a deadlock in glibc at
aborting "git log" [*1*]. When this happens, git process is left
unterminated, and it can't be killed by SIGTERM but only by SIGKILL.
The problem is that wait_for_pager() function does more than waiting
for pager process's termination, but it does cleanups and printing
errors. Unfortunately, the functions that may be used in a signal
handler are very limited [*2*]. Particularly, malloc(), free() and the
variants can't be used in a signal handler because they take a mutex
internally in glibc. This was the cause of the deadlock above. Other
than the direct calls of malloc/free, many functions calling
malloc/free can't be used. strerror() is such one, either.
Also the usage of fflush() and printf() in a signal handler is bad,
although it seems working so far. In a safer side, we should avoid
them, too.
This patch tries to reduce the calls of such functions in signal
handlers. wait_for_signal() takes a flag and avoids the unsafe
calls. Also, finish_command_in_signal() is introduced for the
same reason. There the free() calls are removed, and only waits for
the children without whining at errors.

It's not easy for arbitrary code to find out whether it is
running in an async process or not. A top-level function
which is fed to start_async() can know (you just pass down
an argument saying "you are async"). But that function may
call other global functions, and we would not want to have
to pass the information all the way through the call stack.
Nor can we simply set a global variable, as those may be
shared between async threads and the main thread (if the
platform supports pthreads). We need pthread tricks _or_ a
global variable, depending on how start_async is
implemented.
The callers don't have enough information to do this right,
so let's provide a simple query function that does.
Fortunately we can reuse the existing infrastructure to make
the pthread case simple (and even simplify die_async() by
using our new function).

The codepath to produce error messages had a hard-coded limit to
the size of the message, primarily to avoid memory allocation while
calling die().
* jk/long-error-messages:
vreportf: avoid intermediate buffer
vreportf: report to arbitrary filehandles
|
|
The vreportf function always goes to stderr, but run-command
wants child errors to go to the parent's original stderr. To
solve this, commit a5487dd duplicates the stderr fd and
installs die and error handlers to direct the output
appropriately (which later turned into the vwritef
function). This has two downsides, though:
- we make multiple calls to write(), which contradicts the
"write at once" logic from d048a96 (print
warning/error/fatal messages in one shot, 2007-11-09).
- the custom handlers basically duplicate the normal
handlers. They're only a few lines of code, but we
should not have to repeat the magic "exit(128)", for
example.
We can solve the first by using fdopen() on the duplicated
descriptor. We can't pass this to vreportf, but we could
introduce a new vreportf_to to handle it.
However, to fix the second problem, we instead introduce a
new "set_error_handle" function, which lets the normal
vreportf calls output to a handle besides stderr. Thus we
can get rid of our custom handlers entirely, and just ask
the regular handlers to output to our new descriptor.
And as vwritef has no more callers, it can just go away.

Because run_command both spawns and wait()s for the command
before returning control to the caller, any reads from the
pipes we open must necessarily happen after wait() returns.
This can lead to deadlock, as the child process may block
on writing to us while we are blocked waiting for it to
exit.
Worse, it only happens when the child fills the pipe
buffer, which means that the problem may come and go
depending on the platform and the size of the output
produced by the child.
Let's detect and flag this dangerous construct so that we
can catch potential bugs early in the test suite rather than
having them happen in the field.

Something as simple as reading the stdout from a command
turns out to be rather hard to do right. Doing:
cmd.out = -1;
run_command(&cmd);
strbuf_read(&buf, cmd.out, 0);
can result in deadlock if the child process produces a large
amount of output. What happens is:
1. The parent spawns the child with its stdout connected
to a pipe, of which the parent is the sole reader.
2. The parent calls wait(), blocking until the child exits.
3. The child writes to stdout. If it writes more data than
the OS pipe buffer can hold, the write() call will
block.
This is a deadlock; the parent is waiting for the child to
exit, and the child is waiting for the parent to call
read().
So we might try instead:
start_command(&cmd);
strbuf_read(&buf, cmd.out, 0);
finish_command(&cmd);
But that is not quite right either. We are examining cmd.out
and running finish_command whether start_command succeeded
or not, which is wrong. Moreover, these snippets do not do
any error handling. If our read() fails, we must make sure
to still call finish_command (to reap the child process).
And both snippets failed to close the cmd.out descriptor,
which they must do (provided start_command succeeded).
Let's introduce a run-command helper that can make this a
bit simpler for callers to get right.

This was originally meant to be used to rewrite run_commit_hook()
that only special cases the GIT_INDEX_FILE environment, but the
run_hook_ve() refactoring done earlier made the implementation of
run_commit_hook() thin and clean enough.
Nobody uses this, so retire it as an unfinished clean-up made
unnecessary.

Allow us build with NO_PTHREADS=NoThanks compilation option.
* eb/no-pthreads:
Handle atexit list internaly for unthreaded builds
pack-objects: set number of threads before checking and warning
index-pack: fix compilation with NO_PTHREADS
|
|
Wrap atexit()s calls on unthreaded builds to handle callback list
internally.
This is needed because on unthreaded builds, asyncs inherits parent's
atexit() list, that gets run as soon as the async exit()s (and again at
the end of async's parent process). That led to remove temporary files
too early.
Also remove a by-atexit-callback guard against this kind of issue in
clone.c, as this patch makes it redundant.
Fixes test 5537 (temporary shallow file vanished before unpack-objects
could open it)
BTW remove an unused variable in shallow.c.

Similar to args, add a struct argv_array member to struct child_process
that simplifies specifying the environment for children. It is freed
automatically by finish_command() or if start_command() encounters an
error.

Merge prepare_run_command_v_opt() and its only caller. This removes a

Most struct child_process variables are cleared using memset first after
declaration. Provide a macro, CHILD_PROCESS_INIT, that can be used to
initialize them statically instead. That's shorter, doesn't require a
function call and is slightly more readable (especially given that we
already have STRBUF_INIT, ARGV_ARRAY_INIT etc.).

When spawning child processes via start_command(), the environment and all
environment entries are copied twice. First by make_augmented_environ /
copy_environ to merge with child_process.env. Then a second time by
make_environment_block to create a sorted environment block string as
required by CreateProcess.
Move the merge logic to make_environment_block so that we only need to copy
the environment once. This changes semantics of the env parameter: it now
expects a delta (such as child_process.env) rather than a full environment.
This is not a problem as the parameter is only used by start_command()
(all other callers previously passed char **environ, and now pass NULL).
The merge logic no longer xstrdup()s the environment strings, so do_putenv
must not free them. Add a parameter to distinguish this from normal putenv.
Remove the now unused make_augmented_environ / free_environ API.

All child_process structs need to point to an argv. For
flexibility, we do not mandate the use of a dynamic
argv_array. However, because the child_process does not own
the memory, this can make memory management with a
separate argv_array difficult.
For example, if a function calls start_command but not
finish_command, the argv memory must persist. The code needs
to arrange to clean up the argv_array separately after
finish_command runs. As a result, some of our code in this
situation just leaks the memory.
To help such cases, this patch adds a built-in argv_array to
the child_process, which gets cleaned up automatically (both
in finish_command and when start_command fails). Callers
may use it if they choose, but can continue to use the raw
argv if they wish.
