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.

Allocation related functions and stdio are unsafe things to call

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 find_hook function returns the results of git_path,
which is a static buffer shared by other path-related calls.
Returning such a buffer is slightly dangerous, because it
can be overwritten by seemingly unrelated functions.
Let's at least keep our _own_ static buffer, so you can
only get in trouble by calling find_hook in quick
succession, which is less likely to happen and more obvious
to notice.
While we're at it, let's add some documentation of the
function's limitations.

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.

Before the previous commit, get_pathname returns an array of PATH_MAX
length. Even if git_path() and similar functions does not use the
whole array, git_path() caller can, in theory.
After the commit, get_pathname() may return a buffer that has just
enough room for the returned string and git_path() caller should never
write beyond that.
Make git_path(), mkpath() and git_path_submodule() return a const
buffer to make sure callers do not write in it at all.

conversion is too much distraction from the core changes in path.c.

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.

Create find_hook() function to determine if a given hook exists and is
executable. If it is, the path to the script will be returned,
otherwise NULL is returned.
This encapsulates the tests that are used to check for the existence of
a hook in one place, making it easier to modify those checks if that is
found to be necessary. This also makes it simple for places that can
use a hook to check if a hook exists before doing, possibly lengthy,
setup work which would be pointless if no such hook is present.
The returned value is left as a static value from get_pathname() rather
than a duplicate because it is anticipated that the return value will
either be used as a boolean, immediately added to an argv_array list
which would result in it being duplicated at that point, or used to
actually run the command without much intervening work. Callers which
need to hold onto the returned value for a longer time are expected to
duplicate the return value themselves.

Commit 35ce862 (pager: Work around window resizing bug in
'less', 2007-01-24) causes git's pager sub-process to wait
to receive input after forking but before exec-ing the
pager. To handle this, run-command had to grow a "pre-exec
callback" feature. Unfortunately, this feature does not work
at all on Windows (where we do not fork), and interacts
poorly with run-command's parent notification system. Its
use should be discouraged.
The bug in less was fixed in version 406, which was released
in June 2007. It is probably safe at this point to remove
our workaround. That lets us rip out the preexec_cb feature
entirely.

When we spawn a helper process, it should generally be done
and finish_command called before we exit. However, if we
exit abnormally due to an early return or a signal, the
helper may continue to run in our absence.
In the best case, this may simply be wasted CPU cycles or a
few stray messages on a terminal. But it could also mean a
process that the user thought was aborted continues to run
to completion (e.g., a push's pack-objects helper will
complete the push, even though you killed the push process).
This patch provides infrastructure for run-command to keep
track of PIDs to be killed, and clean them on signal
reception or input, just as we do with tempfiles. PIDs can
be added in two ways:
1. If NO_PTHREADS is defined, async helper processes are
automatically marked. By definition this code must be
ready to die when the parent dies, since it may be
implemented as a thread of the parent process.
2. If the run-command caller specifies the "clean_on_exit"
option. This is not the default, as there are cases
where it is OK for the child to outlive us (e.g., when
spawning a pager).
PIDs are cleared from the kill-list automatically during
wait_or_whine, which is called from finish_command and
finish_async.

On Windows, async procedures have always been run in threads, and the
implementation used Windows specific APIs. Rewrite the code to use pthreads.
A new configuration option is introduced so that the threaded implementation
can also be used on POSIX systems. Since this option is intended only as
playground on POSIX, but is mandatory on Windows, the option is not
documented.
One detail is that on POSIX it is necessary to set FD_CLOEXEC on the pipe
handles. On Windows, this is not needed because pipe handles are not
inherited to child processes, and the new calls to set_cloexec() are
effectively no-ops.

This patch adds the possibility to supply a set of non-0 file
descriptors for async process communication instead of the

Additionally, we now support bi-directional communiction with the

To retain compatiblity and similar "API feel" with start_command,
we require start_async callers to set .out = -1 to get a readable
file descriptor. If either of .in or .out is 0, we supply no file
descriptor to the async process.

but only few callers actually reported a specific error (though many call
sites report a generic error message regardless of the cause).

The motivation for this change is that system call failures are serious
errors that should be reported to the user, but only few callers took the
burden to decode the error codes that the functions returned into error
messages.
If at all, then only an unspecific error message was given. A prominent
example is this:
$ git upload-pack . | :
fatal: unable to run 'git-upload-pack'
In this example, git-upload-pack, the external command invoked through the
git wrapper, dies due to SIGPIPE, but the git wrapper does not bother to
report the real cause. In fact, this very error message is copied to the
syslog if git-daemon's client aborts the connection early.
With this change, system call failures are reported immediately after the
failure and only a generic failure code is returned to the caller. In the
above example the error is now to the point:
$ git upload-pack . | :
error: git-upload-pack died of signal
Note that there is no error report if the invoked program terminated with
a non-zero exit code, because it is reasonable to expect that the invoked
program has already reported an error. (But many run_command call sites
nevertheless write a generic error message.)
There was one special return code that was used to identify the case where
run_command failed because the requested program could not be exec'd. This
special case is now treated like a system call failure with errno set to
ENOENT. No error is reported in this case, because the call site in git.c
expects this as a normal result. Therefore, the callers that carefully
decoded the return value still check for this condition.

As a general guideline, functions in git's code return zero to indicate
success and negative values to indicate failure. The run_command family of
functions followed this guideline. But there are actually two different
kinds of failure:
- failures of system calls;
- non-zero exit code of the program that was run.
Usually, a non-zero exit code of the program is a failure and means a
failure to the caller. Except that sometimes it does not. For example, the
exit code of merge programs (e.g. external merge drivers) conveys
information about how the merge failed, and not all exit calls are
actually failures.
Furthermore, the return value of run_command is sometimes used as exit
code by the caller.
This change arranges that the exit code of the program is returned as a
positive value, which can now be regarded as the "result" of the function.
System call failures continue to be reported as negative values.

Callers of start_command() can set the members .in and .out of struct
child_process to a value > 0 to specify that this descriptor is used as
the stdin or stdout of the child process.
Previously, if start_command() was successful, this descriptor was closed
upon return. Here we now make sure that the descriptor is also closed in
case of failures. All callers are updated not to close the file descriptor
themselves after start_command() was called.
Note that earlier run_gpg_verify() of git-verify-tag set .out = 1, which
worked because start_command() treated this as a special case, but now
this is incorrect because it closes the descriptor. The intent here is to
inherit stdout to the child, which is achieved by .out = 0.

This adds start_async() and finish_async(), which runs a function
asynchronously. Communication with the caller happens only via pipes.
For this reason, this implementation forks off a child process that runs
the function.
[sp: Style nit fixed by removing unnecessary block on if condition
inside of start_async()]

This adds another stanza that allocates a pipe that is connected to the
child's stderr and that the caller can read from. In order to request this
pipe, the caller sets cmd->err to -1.
The implementation is not exactly modeled after the stdout case: For stdout
the caller can supply an existing file descriptor, but this facility is
nowhere needed in the stderr case. Additionally, the caller is required to
close cmd->err.

To unset a variable, just specify its name, without "=". For example:
const char *env[] = {"GIT_DIR=.git", "PWD", NULL};
const char *argv[] = {"git-ls-files", "-s", NULL};
int err = run_command_v_opt_cd_env(argv, RUN_GIT_CMD, ".", env);
The PWD will be unset before executing git-ls-files.

There is no way to specify and override for the environment:
there'd be no user for it yet.

It can make code simplier (no need to preserve cwd) and safer
(no chance the cwd of the current process is accidentally forgotten).
