2016-10-28valgrind: support test helpersRené Scharfe
Tests run with --valgrind call git commands through a wrapper script that invokes valgrind on them. This script (valgrind.sh) is in turn invoked through symlinks created for each command in t/valgrind/bin/. Since e6e7530d (test helpers: move test-* to t/helper/ subdirectory) these symlinks have been broken for test helpers -- they point to the old locations in the root of the build directory. Fix that by teaching the code for creating the links about the new location of the binaries, and do the same in the wrapper script to allow it to find its payload.

Add all of the ways in which check_refname_format violates valgrind's expectations to the valgrind suppression file; remove an assumption about the call chain of check_refname_format from same. Signed-off-by: David Turner <dturner@twitter.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-06-18refs.c: SSE2 optimizations for check_refname_componentDavid Turner
Optimize check_refname_component using SSE2 on x86_64. git rev-parse HEAD is a good test-case for this, since it does almost nothing except parse refs. For one particular repo with about 60k refs, almost all packed, the timings are: Look up table: 29 ms SSE2: 23 ms This cuts about 20% off of the runtime. Ondřej Bílka <neleai@seznam.cz> suggested an SSE2 approach to the substring searches, which netted a speed boost over the SSE4.2 code I had initially written.

2013-07-05Merge branch 'tr/test-v-and-v-subtest-only'Junio C Hamano
Allows N instances of tests run in parallel, each running 1/N parts of the test suite under Valgrind, to speed things up. * tr/test-v-and-v-subtest-only: perf-lib: fix start/stop of perf tests test-lib: support running tests under valgrind in parallel test-lib: allow prefixing a custom string before "ok N" etc. test-lib: valgrind for only tests matching a pattern test-lib: verbose mode for only tests matching a pattern test-lib: self-test that --verbose works test-lib: rearrange start/end of test_expect_* and test_skip test-lib: refactor $GIT_SKIP_TESTS matching test-lib: enable MALLOC_* for the actual tests
2013-06-23test-lib: valgrind for only tests matching a patternThomas Rast
With the new --valgrind-only=<pattern> option, one can enable --valgrind at a per-test granularity, exactly analogous to --verbose-only from the previous commit. The options are wired such that --valgrind implies --verbose (as before), but --valgrind-only=<pattern> implies --verbose-only=<pattern> unless --verbose is also in effect.

2013-05-29Merge branch 'jk/test-output'Junio C Hamano
When TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY setting is used, it was handled somewhat inconsistently between the test framework and t/Makefile, and logic to summarize the results looked at a wrong place. * jk/test-output: t/Makefile: don't define TEST_RESULTS_DIRECTORY recursively test output: respect $TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY t/Makefile: fix result handling with TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
2013-04-29test output: respect $TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORYJohn Keeping
Most test results go in $TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, but the output files for tests run with --tee or --valgrind just use bare "test-results". Changes these so that they do respect $TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY. As a result of this, the valgrind/analyze.sh script may no longer inspect the correct files so it is also updated to respect $TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY by adding it to GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS. This may be a regression for people who have TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY in their config.mak but want to override it in the environment, but this change merely brings it into line with GIT_TEST_OPTS which already cannot be overridden if it is specified in config.mak.

2013-04-01tests --valgrind: provide a mode without --track-originsThomas Rast
With --valgrind=memcheck-fast, the tests run under memcheck but without the autodetected --track-origins. If you just run valgrind to see *if* there is any memory issue with your program, the extra information is not needed, and it comes at a roughly 30% hit in runtime. While it is possible to achieve the same through GIT_VALGRIND_OPTIONS, this should be more discoverable and hopefully encourage more users to run their tests with valgrind.

2013-04-01tests: parameterize --valgrind optionThomas Rast
Running tests under helgrind and DRD recently proved useful in tracking down thread interaction issues. This can unfortunately not be done through GIT_VALGRIND_OPTIONS because any tool other than memcheck would complain about unknown options. Let --valgrind take an optional parameter that describes the valgrind tool to invoke. The default mode is to run memcheck as before.

2011-03-16valgrind: ignore SSE-based strlen invalid readsCarlos Martín Nieto
Some versions of strlen use SSE to speed up the calculation and load 4 bytes at a time, even if it means reading past the end of the allocated memory. This read is safe and when the strlen function is inlined, it is not replaced by valgrind, which reports a false-possitive. Tell valgrind to ignore this particular error, as the read is, in fact, safe. Current upstream-released version 3.6.1 is affected. Some distributions have this fixed in their latest versions.

2009-02-06valgrind: do not require valgrind 3.4.0 or newerJohannes Schindelin
Valgrind 3.4.0 is pretty new, and even if --track-origins is a nice feature, it is not the end of the world if that is not available. So play nice and use that option only when only an older version of valgrind is available. In the same spirit, refrain from the use of '...' in suppression files, which is also a feature only valgrind 3.4 and newer understand.

2009-02-04Add a script to coalesce the valgrind outputsJohannes Schindelin
After running the valgrind tests with GIT_TEST_TREE=t, the test output is in the test-results/$TEST.out files. Call ./valgrind/analyze.sh in $GIT_ROOT/t/ to group the valgrind errors by backtrace.

2009-02-04valgrind: ignore ldso and more libz errorsJeff King
On some Linux systems, we get a host of Cond and Addr errors from calls to dlopen that are caused by nss modules. We should be able to safely ignore anything happening in ld-*.so as "not our problem."

2009-02-04Add valgrind support in test scriptsJohannes Schindelin
This patch adds the ability to use valgrind's memcheck tool to diagnose memory problems in Git while running the test scripts. It requires valgrind 3.4.0 or newer. It works by creating symlinks to a valgrind script, which have the same name as our Git binaries, and then putting that directory in front of the test script's PATH as well as set GIT_EXEC_PATH to that directory. Git scripts are symlinked from that directory directly. That way, Git binaries called by Git scripts are valgrinded, too. Valgrind can be used by specifying "GIT_TEST_OPTS=--valgrind" in the make invocation. Any invocation of git that finds any errors under valgrind will exit with failure code 126. Any valgrind output will go to the usual stderr channel for tests (i.e., /dev/null, unless -v has been specified). If you need to pass options to valgrind -- you might want to run another tool than memcheck, for example -- you can set the environment variable GIT_VALGRIND_OPTIONS. A few default suppressions are included, since libz seems to trigger quite a few false positives. We'll assume that libz works and that we can ignore any errors which are reported there. Note: it is safe to run the valgrind tests in parallel, as the links in t/valgrind/bin/ are created using proper locking. Initial patch and all the hard work by Jeff King.
