2023-06-21cache.h: remove this no-longer-used headerElijah Newren
Since this header showed up in some places besides just #include statements, update/clean-up/remove those other places as well. Note that compat/fsmonitor/fsm-path-utils-darwin.c previously got away with violating the rule that all files must start with an include of git-compat-util.h (or a short-list of alternate headers that happen to include it first). This change exposed the violation and caused it to stop building correctly; fix it by having it include git-compat-util.h first, as per policy.

2022-10-30replace and remove run_command_v_opt()René Scharfe
Replace the remaining calls of run_command_v_opt() with run_command() calls and explict struct child_process variables. This is more verbose, but not by much overall. The code becomes more flexible, e.g. it's easy to extend to conditionally add a new argument. Then remove the now unused function and its own flag names, simplifying the run-command API.

2022-10-12run-command API: move *_tr2() users to "run_processes_parallel()"Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Have the users of the "run_processes_parallel_tr2()" function use "run_processes_parallel()" instead. In preceding commits the latter was refactored to take a "struct run_process_parallel_opts" argument, since the only reason for "run_processes_parallel_tr2()" to exist was to take arguments that are now a part of that struct we can do away with it. See ee4512ed481 (trace2: create new combined trace facility, 2019-02-22) for the addition of the "*_tr2()" variant of the function, it was used by every caller except "t/helper/test-run-command.c"..

2022-10-12run-command API: have run_process_parallel() take an "opts" structÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
As noted in fd3aaf53f71 (run-command: add an "ungroup" option to run_process_parallel(), 2022-06-07) which added the "ungroup" passing it to "run_process_parallel()" via the global "run_processes_parallel_ungroup" variable was a compromise to get the smallest possible regression fix for "maint" at the time. This follow-up to that is a start at passing that parameter and others via a new "struct run_process_parallel_opts", as the earlier version[1] of what became fd3aaf53f71 did. Since we need to change all of the occurrences of "n" to "opt->SOMETHING" let's take the opportunity and rename the terse "n" to "processes". We could also have picked "max_processes", "jobs", "threads" etc., but as the API is named "run_processes_parallel()" let's go with "processes". Since the new "run_processes_parallel()" function is able to take an optional "tr2_category" and "tr2_label" via the struct we can at this point migrate all of the users of "run_processes_parallel_tr2()" over to it. But let's not migrate all the API users yet, only the two users that passed the "ungroup" parameter via the "run_processes_parallel_ungroup" global 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover-v2-0.8-00000000000-20220518T195858Z-avarab@gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2022-10-12run-command API: make "n" parameter a "size_t"Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Make the "n" variable added in c553c72eed6 (run-command: add an asynchronous parallel child processor, 2015-12-15) a "size_t". As we'll see in a subsequent commit we do pass "0" here, but never "jobs < 0". We could have made it an "unsigned int", but as we're having to change this let's not leave another case in the codebase where a size_t and "unsigned int" size differ on some platforms. In this case it's likely to never matter, but it's easier to not need to worry about it. After this and preceding changes: make run-command.o DEVOPTS=extra-all CFLAGS=-Wno-unused-parameter Only has one (and new) -Wsigned-compare warning relevant to a comparison about our "n" or "{nr,max}_processes": About using our "n" (size_t) in the same expression as online_cpus() (int). A subsequent commit will adjust & deal with online_cpus() and that warning. The only users of the "n" parameter are: * builtin/fetch.c: defaults to 1, reads from the "fetch.parallel" config. As seen in the code that parses the config added in d54dea77dba (fetch: let --jobs=<n> parallelize --multiple, too, 2019-10-05) will die if the git_config_int() return value is < 0. It will however pass us n = 0, as we'll see in a subsequent commit. * submodule.c: defaults to 1, reads from "submodule.fetchJobs" config. Read via code originally added in a028a1930c6 (fetching submodules: respect `submodule.fetchJobs` config option, 2016-02-29). It now piggy-backs on the the submodule.fetchJobs code and validation added in f20e7c1ea24 (submodule: remove submodule.fetchjobs from submodule-config parsing, 2017-08-02). Like builtin/fetch.c it will die if the git_config_int() return value is < 0, but like builtin/fetch.c it will pass us n = 0. * builtin/submodule--helper.c: defaults to 1. Read via code originally added in 2335b870fa7 (submodule update: expose parallelism to the user, 2016-02-29). Since f20e7c1ea24 (submodule: remove submodule.fetchjobs from submodule-config parsing, 2017-08-02) it shares a config parser and semantics with the submodule.c caller. * hook.c: hardcoded to 1, see 96e7225b310 (hook: add 'run' subcommand, 2021-12-22). * t/helper/test-run-command.c: can be -1 after parsing the arguments, but will then be overridden to online_cpus() before passing it to this API.

2022-10-12run-command API: have "run_processes_parallel{,_tr2}()" return voidÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Change the "run_processes_parallel{,_tr2}()" functions to return void, instead of int. Ever since c553c72eed6 (run-command: add an asynchronous parallel child processor, 2015-12-15) they have unconditionally returned 0. To get a "real" return value out of this function the caller needs to get it via the "task_finished_fn" callback, see the example in hook.c added in 96e7225b310 (hook: add 'run' subcommand, 2021-12-22). So the "result = " and "if (!result)" code added to "builtin/fetch.c" d54dea77dba (fetch: let --jobs=<n> parallelize --multiple, too, 2019-10-05) has always been redundant, we always took that "if" path. Likewise the "ret =" in "t/helper/test-run-command.c" added in be5d88e1128 (test-tool run-command: learn to run (parts of) the testsuite, 2019-10-04) wasn't used, instead we got the return value from the "if (suite.failed.nr > 0)" block seen in the context. Subsequent commits will alter this API interface, getting rid of this always-zero return value makes it easier to understand those changes.

2022-06-07run-command: add an "ungroup" option to run_process_parallel()Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Extend the parallel execution API added in c553c72eed6 (run-command: add an asynchronous parallel child processor, 2015-12-15) to support a mode where the stdout and stderr of the processes isn't captured and output in a deterministic order, instead we'll leave it to the kernel and stdio to sort it out. This gives the API same functionality as GNU parallel's --ungroup option. As we'll see in a subsequent commit the main reason to want this is to support stdout and stderr being connected to the TTY in the case of jobs=1, demonstrated here with GNU parallel: $ parallel --ungroup 'test -t {} && echo TTY || echo NTTY' ::: 1 2 TTY TTY $ parallel 'test -t {} && echo TTY || echo NTTY' ::: 1 2 NTTY NTTY Another is as GNU parallel's documentation notes a potential for optimization. As demonstrated in next commit our results with "git hook run" will be similar, but generally speaking this shows that if you want to run processes in parallel where the exact order isn't important this can be a lot faster: $ hyperfine -r 3 -L o ,--ungroup 'parallel {o} seq ::: 10000000 >/dev/null ' Benchmark 1: parallel seq ::: 10000000 >/dev/null Time (mean ± σ): 220.2 ms ± 9.3 ms [User: 124.9 ms, System: 96.1 ms] Range (min … max): 212.3 ms … 230.5 ms 3 runs Benchmark 2: parallel --ungroup seq ::: 10000000 >/dev/null Time (mean ± σ): 154.7 ms ± 0.9 ms [User: 136.2 ms, System: 25.1 ms] Range (min … max): 153.9 ms … 155.7 ms 3 runs Summary 'parallel --ungroup seq ::: 10000000 >/dev/null ' ran 1.42 ± 0.06 times faster than 'parallel seq ::: 10000000 >/dev/null ' A large part of the juggling in the API is to make the API safer for its maintenance and consumers alike. For the maintenance of the API we e.g. avoid malloc()-ing the "pp->pfd", ensuring that SANITIZE=address and other similar tools will catch any unexpected misuse. For API consumers we take pains to never pass the non-NULL "out" buffer to an API user that provided the "ungroup" option. The resulting code in t/helper/test-run-command.c isn't typical of such a user, i.e. they'd typically use one mode or the other, and would know whether they'd provided "ungroup" or not. We could also avoid the strbuf_init() for "buffered_output" by having "struct parallel_processes" use a static PARALLEL_PROCESSES_INIT initializer, but let's leave that cleanup for later. Using a global "run_processes_parallel_ungroup" variable to enable this option is rather nasty, but is being done here to produce as minimal of a change as possible for a subsequent regression fix. This change is extracted from a larger initial version[1] which ends up with a better end-state for the API, but in doing so needed to modify all existing callers of the API. Let's defer that for now, and narrowly focus on what we need for fixing the regression in the subsequent commit. It's safe to do this with a global variable because: A) hook.c is the only user of it that sets it to non-zero, and before we'll get any other API users we'll refactor away this method of passing in the option, i.e. re-roll [1]. B) Even if hook.c wasn't the only user we don't have callers of this API that concurrently invoke this parallel process starting API itself in parallel. As noted above "A" && "B" are rather nasty, and we don't want to live with those caveats long-term, but for now they should be an acceptable compromise. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover-v2-0.8-00000000000-20220518T195858Z-avarab@gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Follow-up on a preceding commit which changed all references to the "env_array" when referring to the "struct child_process" member. These changes are all unnecessary for the compiler, but help the code's human readers. All the comments that referred to "env_array" have now been updated, as well as function names and variables that had "env_array" in their name, they now refer to "env".

2022-06-02run-command API: rename "env_array" to "env"Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Start following-up on the rename mentioned in c7c4bdeccf3 (run-command API: remove "env" member, always use "env_array", 2021-11-25) of "env_array" to "env". The "env_array" name was picked in 19a583dc39e (run-command: add env_array, an optional argv_array for env, 2014-10-19) because "env" was taken. Let's not forever keep the oddity of "*_array" for this "struct strvec", but not for its "args" sibling. This commit is almost entirely made with a coccinelle rule[1]. The only manual change here is in run-command.h to rename the struct member itself and to change "env_array" to "env" in the CHILD_PROCESS_INIT initializer. The rest of this is all a result of applying [1]: * make contrib/coccinelle/run_command.cocci.patch * patch -p1 <contrib/coccinelle/run_command.cocci.patch * git add -u 1. cat contrib/coccinelle/run_command.pending.cocci @@ struct child_process E; @@ - E.env_array + E.env @@ struct child_process *E; @@ - E->env_array + E->env I've avoided changing any comments and derived variable names here, that will all be done in the next commit.

2021-11-26run-command API: remove "env" member, always use "env_array"Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Remove the "env" member from "struct child_process" in favor of always using the "env_array". As with the preceding removal of "argv" in favor of "args" this gets rid of current and future oddities around memory management at the API boundary (see the amended API docs). For some of the conversions we can replace patterns like: child.env = env->v; With: strvec_pushv(&child.env_array, env->v); But for others we need to guard the strvec_pushv() with a NULL check, since we're not passing in the "v" member of a "struct strvec", e.g. in the case of tmp_objdir_env()'s return value. Ideally we'd rename the "env_array" member to simply "env" as a follow-up, since it and "args" are now inconsistent in not having an "_array" suffix, and seemingly without any good reason, unless we look at the history of how they came to be. But as we've currently got 122 in-tree hits for a "git grep env_array" let's leave that for now (and possibly forever). Doing that rename would be too disruptive.

2021-11-26run-command API: remove "argv" member, always use "args"Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Remove the "argv" member from the run-command API, ever since "args" was added in c460c0ecdca (run-command: store an optional argv_array, 2014-05-15) being able to provide either "argv" or "args" has led to some confusion and bugs. If we hadn't gone in that direction and only had an "argv" our problems wouldn't have been solved either, as noted in [1] (and in the documentation amended here) it comes with inherent memory management issues: The caller would have to hang on to the "argv" until the run-command API was finished. If the "argv" was an argument to main() this wasn't an issue, but if it it was manually constructed using the API might be painful. We also have a recent report[2] of a user of the API segfaulting, which is a direct result of it being complex to use. This commit addresses the root cause of that bug. This change is larger than I'd like, but there's no easy way to avoid it that wouldn't involve even more verbose intermediate steps. We use the "argv" as the source of truth over the "args", so we need to change all parts of run-command.[ch] itself, as well as the trace2 logging at the same time. The resulting Windows-specific code in start_command() is a bit nasty, as we're now assigning to a strvec's "v" member, instead of to our own "argv". There was a suggestion of some alternate approaches in reply to an earlier version of this commit[3], but let's leave larger a larger and needless refactoring of this code for now. 1. http://lore.kernel.org/git/YT6BnnXeAWn8BycF@coredump.intra.peff.net 2. https://lore.kernel.org/git/20211120194048.12125-1-ematsumiya@suse.de/ 3. https://lore.kernel.org/git/patch-5.5-ea1011f7473-20211122T153605Z-avarab@gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Especially on Windows, where files cannot be deleted if _any_ process holds an open file handle to them, it is important to close the object store (releasing all handles to all `.pack` files) before running a command that might spawn a garbage collection. This scenario is so common that we frequently see the pattern of closing the object store before running auto maintenance or another Git command. Let's make this much more convenient by teaching the `run_command()` machinery a new flag to release the object store before spawning the process.

2021-01-22run-command: document use_shell optionJeff King
It's unclear how run-command's use_shell option should impact the arguments fed to a command. Plausibly it could mean that we glue all of the arguments together into a string to pass to the shell, in which case that opens the question of whether the caller needs to quote them. But in fact we don't implement it that way (and even if we did, we'd probably auto-quote the arguments as part of the glue step). And we must not receive quoted arguments, because we might actually optimize out the shell entirely (i.e., the caller does not even know if a shell will be involved in the end or not). Since this ambiguity may have been the cause of a recent bug, let's document the option a bit.

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>
2020-07-28strvec: 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.

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.

2019-05-05*.[ch]: remove extern from function declarations using sedDenton Liu
There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations. Finish the job by removing all instances of "extern" for function declarations in headers using sed. This was done by running the following on my system with sed 4.2.2: $ git ls-files \*.{c,h} | grep -v ^compat/ | xargs sed -i'' -e 's/^\(\s*\)extern \([^(]*([^*]\)/\1\2/' Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much as possible. Then, leftover instances of extern were found by running $ git grep -w -C3 extern \*.{c,h} and manually checking the output. No other instances were found. Note that the regex used specifically excludes function variables which _should_ be left as extern. Not the most elegant way to do it but it gets the job done.

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.

2017-01-09execv_dashed_external: wait for child on signal deathJeff King
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.
