In d8193743e08 (usage.c: add BUG() function, 2017-05-12), a new macro
was introduced to use for reporting bugs instead of die(). It was then
subsequently used to convert one single caller in 588a538ae55
(setup_git_env: convert die("BUG") to BUG(), 2017-05-12).
The cover letter of the patch series containing this patch
(cf 20170513032414.mfrwabt4hovujde2@sigill.intra.peff.net) is not
terribly clear why only one call site was converted, or what the plan
is for other, similar calls to die() to report bugs.
Let's just convert all remaining ones in one fell swoop.
This trick was performed by this invocation:
sed -i 's/die("BUG: /BUG("/g' $(git grep -l 'die("BUG' \*.c)

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().
While at it, use a name more indicative of the purpose: CHECK_BUG().

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. The lack of a program name would look
confusing then.

When an hook is present but the file is not set as executable then git will
ignore the hook.
For now this is silent which can be confusing.
This commit adds this warning to improve the situation:
hint: The 'pre-commit' hook was ignored because it's not set as executable.
hint: You can disable this warning with `git config advice.ignoredHook false`
To allow the old use-case of enabling/disabling hooks via the executable flag a
new setting is introduced: advice.ignoredHook.

API fix.
* js/run-process-parallel-api-fix:
run_processes_parallel: change confusing task_cb convention
|
|
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.

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.

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.

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.

All of our standard error handling paths have the potential to
call malloc or take stdio locks; so we must avoid them inside
the forked child.
Instead, the child only writes an 8 byte struct atomically to
the parent through the notification pipe to propagate an error.
All user-visible error reporting happens from the parent;
even avoiding functions like atexit(3) and exit(3).

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'.

Fix for NO_PTHREADS build.
* jk/execv-dashed-external:
run-command: fix segfault when cleaning forked async process
|
|
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).

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.

Some processes might want to perform cleanup tasks before Git kills them
due to the 'clean_on_exit' flag. Let's give them an interface for doing
this. The feature is used in a subsequent patch.
Please note, that the cleanup callback is not executed if Git dies of a
signal. The reason is that only "async-signal-safe" functions would be
allowed to be call in that case. Since we cannot control what functions
the callback will use, we will not support the case. See 507d7804 for
more details.

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

"git push" from a corrupt repository that attempts to push a large

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 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
situations.

Handling of errors while writing into our internal asynchronous
process has been made more robust, which reduces flakiness in our
tests.
* jk/epipe-in-async:
t5504: handle expected output from SIGPIPE death
test_must_fail: report number of unexpected signal
fetch-pack: ignore SIGPIPE in sideband demuxer
write_or_die: handle EPIPE in async threads

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.

d95138e6 (setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when work tree is set, like
$GIT_DIR, 2015-06-26) attempted to work around a glitch in alias
handling by overwriting GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable to
affect subprocesses when set_git_work_tree() gets called, which
resulted in a rather unpleasant regression to "clone" and "init".
Try to address the same issue by always restoring the environment
and respawning the real underlying command when handling alias.
* nd/clear-gitenv-upon-use-of-alias:
run-command: don't warn on SIGPIPE deaths
git.c: make sure we do not leak GIT_* to alias scripts
setup.c: re-fix d95138e (setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when ..
git.c: make it clear save_env() is for alias handling only

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.
