2021-02-12run-command: invalidate lstat cache after a command finishedJohannes Schindelin
In the previous commit, we intercepted calls to `rmdir()` to invalidate the lstat cache in the successful case, so that the lstat cache could not have the idea that a directory exists where there is none. The same situation can arise, of course, when a separate process is spawned (most notably, this is the case in `submodule_move_head()`). Obviously, we cannot know whether a directory was removed in that process, therefore we must invalidate the lstat cache afterwards. Note: in contrast to `lstat_cache_aware_rmdir()`, we invalidate the lstat cache even in case of an error: the process might have removed a directory and still have failed afterwards.

2021-02-02pager: properly log pager exit code when signalledÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
When git invokes a pager that exits with non-zero the common case is that we'll already return the correct SIGPIPE failure from git itself, but the exit code logged in trace2 has always been incorrectly reported[1]. Fix that and log the correct exit code in the logs. Since this gives us something to test outside of our recently-added tests needing a !MINGW prerequisite, let's refactor the test to run on MINGW and actually check for SIGPIPE outside of MINGW. The wait_or_whine() is only called with a true "in_signal" from from finish_command_in_signal(), which in turn is only used in pager.c. The "in_signal && !WIFEXITED(status)" case is not covered by tests. Let's log the default -1 in that case for good measure. 1.

2020-09-25maintenance: optionally skip --auto processDerrick Stolee
Some commands run 'git maintenance run --auto --[no-]quiet' after doing their normal work, as a way to keep repositories clean as they are used. Currently, users who do not want this maintenance to occur would set the 'gc.auto' config option to 0 to avoid the 'gc' task from running. However, this does not stop the extra process invocation. On Windows, this extra process invocation can be more expensive than necessary. Allow users to drop this extra process by setting 'maintenance.auto' to 'false'.

2020-09-17maintenance: replace run_auto_gc()Derrick Stolee
The run_auto_gc() method is used in several places to trigger a check for repo maintenance after some Git commands, such as 'git commit' or 'git fetch'. To allow for extra customization of this maintenance activity, replace the 'git gc --auto [--quiet]' call with one to 'git maintenance run --auto [--quiet]'. As we extend the maintenance builtin with other steps, users will be able to select different maintenance activities. Rename run_auto_gc() to run_auto_maintenance() to be clearer what is happening on this call, and to expose all callers in the current diff. Rewrite the method to use a struct child_process to simplify the calls slightly. Since 'git fetch' already allows disabling the 'git gc --auto' subprocess, add an equivalent option with a different name to be more descriptive of the new behavior: '--[no-]maintenance'. Update the documentation to include these options at the same time. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2020-07-31strvec: rename struct fieldsJeff King
The "argc" and "argv" names made sense when the struct was argv_array, but now they're just confusing. Let's rename them to "nr" (which we use for counts elsewhere) and "v" (which is rather terse, but reads well when combined with typical variable names like "args.v"). Note that we have to update all of the callers immediately. Playing tricks with the preprocessor is hard here, because we wouldn't want to rewrite unrelated tokens.

2020-07-28strvec: convert remaining callers away from argv_array nameJeff King
We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once, or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits. Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different names is OK). This patch converts all of the remaining files, as the resulting diff is reasonably sized. The conversion was done purely mechanically with: git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' | xargs perl -i -pe ' s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g; s/argv_array/strvec/g; ' We'll deal with any indentation/style fallouts separately.

2020-07-15Merge branch 'ta/wait-on-aliased-commands-upon-signal' into masterJunio C Hamano
When an aliased command, whose output is piped to a pager by git, gets killed by a signal, the pager got into a funny state, which has been corrected (again). * ta/wait-on-aliased-commands-upon-signal: Wait for child on signal death for aliases to externals Wait for child on signal death for aliases to builtins
2020-07-07Wait for child on signal death for aliases to builtinsTrygve Aaberge
When you hit ^C all the processes in the tree receives it. When a git command uses a pager, git ignores this and waits until the pager quits. However, when using an alias there is an additional process in the tree which didn't ignore the signal. That caused it to exit which in turn caused the pager to exit. This fixes that for aliases to builtins. This was originally fixed in 46df6906 (execv_dashed_external: wait for child on signal death, 2017-01-06), but was broken by ee4512ed (trace2: create new combined trace facility, 2019-02-22) and then b9140840 (git: avoid calling aliased builtins via their dashed form, 2019-07-29).

Back in 1991006c (fetch: convert argv_gc_auto to struct argv_array, 2014-08-16), we taught "git fetch --quiet" to pass the "--quiet" option down to "gc --auto". This issue, however, is not limited to "fetch": $ git grep -e 'gc.*--auto' \*.c finds hits in "am", "commit", "merge", and "rebase" and these commands do not pass "--quiet" down to "gc --auto" when they themselves are told to be quiet. As a preparatory step, let's introduce a helper function run_auto_gc(), that the caller can pass a boolean "quiet", and redo the fix to "git fetch" using the helper.

2020-03-27run-command: trigger PATH lookup properly on CygwinAndras Kucsma
On Cygwin, the codepath for POSIX-like systems is taken in run-command.c::start_command(). The prepare_cmd() helper function is called to decide if the command needs to be looked up in the PATH. The logic there is to do the PATH-lookup if and only if it does not have any slash '/' in it. If this test passes we end up attempting to run the command by appending the string after each colon-separated component of PATH. The Cygwin environment supports both Windows and POSIX style paths, so both forwardslahes '/' and back slashes '\' can be used as directory separators for any external program the user supplies. Examples for path strings which are being incorrectly searched for in the PATH instead of being executed as is: - "C:\Program Files\some-program.exe" - "a\b\c.exe" To handle these, the PATH lookup detection logic in prepare_cmd() is taught to know about this Cygwin quirk, by introducing has_dir_sep(path) helper function to abstract away the difference between true POSIX and Cygwin systems.

2020-01-07run-command: avoid undefined behavior in exists_in_PATHbrian m. carlson
In this function, we free the pointer we get from locate_in_PATH and then check whether it's NULL. However, this is undefined behavior if the pointer is non-NULL, since the C standard no longer permits us to use a valid pointer after freeing it. The only case in which the C standard would permit this to be defined behavior is if r were NULL, since it states that in such a case "no action occurs" as a result of calling free. It's easy to suggest that this is not likely to be a problem, but we know that GCC does aggressively exploit the fact that undefined behavior can never occur to optimize and rewrite code, even when that's contrary to the expectations of the programmer. It is, in fact, very common for it to omit NULL pointer checks, just as we have here. Since it's easy to fix, let's do so, and avoid a potential headache in the future.

2019-02-22trace2: create new combined trace facilityJeff Hostetler
Create a new unified tracing facility for git. The eventual intent is to replace the current trace_printf* and trace_performance* routines with a unified set of git_trace2* routines. In addition to the usual printf-style API, trace2 provides higer-level event verbs with fixed-fields allowing structured data to be written. This makes post-processing and analysis easier for external tools. Trace2 defines 3 output targets. These are set using the environment variables "GIT_TR2", "GIT_TR2_PERF", and "GIT_TR2_EVENT". These may be set to "1" or to an absolute pathname (just like the current GIT_TRACE). * GIT_TR2 is intended to be a replacement for GIT_TRACE and logs command summary data. * GIT_TR2_PERF is intended as a replacement for GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE. It extends the output with columns for the command process, thread, repo, absolute and relative elapsed times. It reports events for child process start/stop, thread start/stop, and per-thread function nesting. * GIT_TR2_EVENT is a new structured format. It writes event data as a series of JSON records. Calls to trace2 functions log to any of the 3 output targets enabled without the need to call different trace_printf* or trace_performance* routines.

2018-10-25run-command: mark path lookup errors with ENOENTJeff King
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.

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().

2017-07-21run_processes_parallel: change confusing task_cb conventionJohannes Schindelin
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.

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.

2017-04-26run-command: expose is_executable functionBrandon Williams
Move the logic for 'is_executable()' from help.c to run_command.c and expose it so that callers from outside help.c can access the function. This is to enable run-command to be able to query if a file is executable in a future patch.
