Neeraj Singh b9f5d0358d core.fsync: documentation and user-friendly aggregate options
This commit adds aggregate options for the core.fsync setting that are
more user-friendly. These options are specified in terms of 'levels of
safety', indicating which Git operations are considered to be sync
points for durability.

The new documentation is also included here in its entirety for ease of
review.

Neeraj Singh ba95e96d4c core.fsync: new option to harden the index
This commit introduces the new ability for the user to harden
the index. In the event of a system crash, the index must be
durable for the user to actually find a file that has been added
to the repo and then deleted from the working tree.

We use the presence of the COMMIT_LOCK flag and absence of the
alternate_index_output as a proxy for determining whether we're
updating the persistent index of the repo or some temporary
index. We don't sync these temporary indexes.

Neeraj Singh 844a8ad4f8 core.fsync: add configuration parsing
This change introduces code to parse the core.fsync setting and
configure the fsync_components variable.

core.fsync is configured as a comma-separated list of component names to
sync. Each time a core.fsync variable is encountered in the
configuration heirarchy, we start off with a clean state with the
platform default value. Passing 'none' resets the value to indicate
nothing will be synced. We gather all negative and positive entries from
the comma separated list and then compute the new value by removing all
the negative entries and adding all of the positive entries.

We issue a warning for components that are not recognized so that the
configuration code is compatible with configs from future versions of
Git with more repo components.

Complete documentation for the new setting is included in a later patch
in the series so that it can be reviewed once in final form.

Neeraj Singh 020406eaa5 core.fsync: introduce granular fsync control infrastructure
This commit introduces the infrastructure for the core.fsync
configuration knob. The repository components we want to sync
are identified by flags so that we can turn on or off syncing
for specific components.

If core.fsyncObjectFiles is set and the core.fsync configuration
also includes FSYNC_COMPONENT_LOOSE_OBJECT, we will fsync any
loose objects. This picks the strictest data integrity behavior
if core.fsync and core.fsyncObjectFiles are set to conflicting values.

This change introduces the currently unused fsync_component
helper, which will be used by a later patch that adds fsyncing to
the refs backend.

Actual configuration and documentation of the fsync components
list are in other patches in the series to separate review of
the underlying mechanism from the policy of how it's configured.

Neeraj Singh abf38abec2 core.fsyncmethod: add writeout-only mode
This commit introduces the `core.fsyncMethod` configuration
knob, which can currently be set to `fsync` or `writeout-only`.

The new writeout-only mode attempts to tell the operating system to
flush its in-memory page cache to the storage hardware without issuing a
CACHE_FLUSH command to the storage controller.

Writeout-only fsync is significantly faster than a vanilla fsync on
common hardware, since data is written to a disk-side cache rather than
all the way to a durable medium. Later changes in this patch series will
take advantage of this primitive to implement batching of hardware
flushes.

When git_fsync is called with FSYNC_WRITEOUT_ONLY, it may fail and the
caller is expected to do an ordinary fsync as needed.

On Apple platforms, the fsync system call does not issue a CACHE_FLUSH
directive to the storage controller. This change updates fsync to do
fcntl(F_FULLFSYNC) to make fsync actually durable. We maintain parity
with existing behavior on Apple platforms by setting the default value
of the new core.fsyncMethod option.

Neeraj Singh 19d3f228c8 wrapper: make inclusion of Windows csprng header tightly scoped
Including NTSecAPI.h in git-compat-util.h causes build errors in any
other file that includes winternl.h. NTSecAPI.h was included in order to
get access to the RtlGenRandom cryptographically secure PRNG. This
change scopes the inclusion of ntsecapi.h to wrapper.c, which is the only
place that it's actually needed.

The build breakage is due to the definition of UNICODE_STRING in
NtSecApi.h:
    #ifndef _NTDEF_
    typedef LSA_UNICODE_STRING UNICODE_STRING, *PUNICODE_STRING;
    typedef LSA_STRING STRING, *PSTRING ;
    #endif

LsaLookup.h:
    typedef struct _LSA_UNICODE_STRING {
        USHORT Length;
        USHORT MaximumLength;
    #ifdef MIDL_PASS
        [size_is(MaximumLength/2), length_is(Length/2)]
    #endif // MIDL_PASS
        PWSTR  Buffer;
    } LSA_UNICODE_STRING, *PLSA_UNICODE_STRING;

winternl.h also defines UNICODE_STRING:
    typedef struct _UNICODE_STRING {
        USHORT Length;
        USHORT MaximumLength;
        PWSTR  Buffer;
    } UNICODE_STRING;
    typedef UNICODE_STRING *PUNICODE_STRING;

Both definitions have equivalent layouts. Apparently these internal
Windows headers aren't designed to be included together. This is
an oversight in the headers and does not represent an incompatibility
between the APIs.

Elijah Newren ecc7c8841d repo_read_index: add config to expect files outside sparse patterns
Typically with sparse checkouts, we expect files outside the sparsity
patterns to be marked as SKIP_WORKTREE and be missing from the working
tree.  Sometimes this expectation would be violated however; including
in cases such as:
  * users grabbing files from elsewhere and writing them to the worktree
    (perhaps by editing a cached copy in an editor, copying/renaming, or
     even untarring)
  * various git commands having incomplete or no support for the
    SKIP_WORKTREE bit[1,2]
  * users attempting to "abort" a sparse-checkout operation with a
    not-so-early Ctrl+C (updating $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout and the
    working tree is not atomic)[3].
When the SKIP_WORKTREE bit in the index did not reflect the presence of
the file in the working tree, it traditionally caused confusion and was
difficult to detect and recover from.  So, in a sparse checkout, since
af6a51875a (repo_read_index: clear SKIP_WORKTREE bit from files present
in worktree, 2022-01-14), Git automatically clears the SKIP_WORKTREE
bit at index read time for entries corresponding to files that are
present in the working tree.

There is another workflow, however, where it is expected that paths
outside the sparsity patterns appear to exist in the working tree and
that they do not lose the SKIP_WORKTREE bit, at least until they get
modified.  A Git-aware virtual file system[4] takes advantage of its
position as a file system driver to expose all files in the working
tree, fetch them on demand using partial clone on access, and tell Git
to pay attention to them on demand by updating the sparse checkout
pattern on writes.  This means that commands like "git status" only have
to examine files that have potentially been modified, whereas commands
like "ls" are able to show the entire codebase without requiring manual
updates to the sparse checkout pattern.

Thus since af6a51875a, Git with such Git-aware virtual file systems
unsets the SKIP_WORKTREE bit for all files and commands like "git
status" have to fetch and examine them all.

Introduce a configuration setting sparse.expectFilesOutsideOfPatterns to
allow limiting the tracked set of files to a small set once again.  A
Git-aware virtual file system or other application that wants to
maintain files outside of the sparse checkout can set this in a
repository to instruct Git not to check for the presence of
SKIP_WORKTREE files.  The setting defaults to false, so most users of
sparse checkout will still get the benefit of an automatically updating
index to recover from the variety of difficult issues detailed in
af6a51875a for paths with SKIP_WORKTREE set despite the path being
present.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 71f26798f2 test-lib: add "fast_unwind_on_malloc=0" to LSAN_OPTIONS
Add "fast_unwind_on_malloc=0" to LSAN_OPTIONS to get more meaningful
stack traces from LSAN. This isn't required under ASAN which will emit
traces such as this one for a leak in "t/t0006-date.sh":

    SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: 3 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).

Whereas LSAN would emit this instead:

    $ ./t0006-date.sh -vixd
    [...]
    Direct leak of 3 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
        #0 0x4323b8 in malloc (t/helper/test-tool+0x4323b8)

    SUMMARY: LeakSanitizer: 3 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).

Now we'll instead git this sensible stack trace under
LSAN. I.e. almost the same one (but starting with "malloc", as is
usual for LSAN) as under ASAN:

    Direct leak of 3 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:

    SUMMARY: LeakSanitizer: 3 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).
    Aborted

As the option name suggests this does make things slower, e.g. for
t0001-init.sh we're around 10% slower:

    $ hyperfine -L v 0,1 'LSAN_OPTIONS=fast_unwind_on_malloc={v} make T=t0001-init.sh' -r 3
    Benchmark 1: LSAN_OPTIONS=fast_unwind_on_malloc=0 make T=t0001-init.sh
      Time (mean ± σ):      2.135 s ±  0.015 s    [User: 1.951 s, System: 0.554 s]
      Range (min … max):    2.122 s …  2.152 s    3 runs

    Benchmark 2: LSAN_OPTIONS=fast_unwind_on_malloc=1 make T=t0001-init.sh
      Time (mean ± σ):      1.981 s ±  0.055 s    [User: 1.769 s, System: 0.488 s]
      Range (min … max):    1.941 s …  2.044 s    3 runs

    Summary
      'LSAN_OPTIONS=fast_unwind_on_malloc=1 make T=t0001-init.sh' ran
        1.08 ± 0.03 times faster than 'LSAN_OPTIONS=fast_unwind_on_malloc=0 make T=t0001-init.sh'

I think that's more than worth it to get the more meaningful stack

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason b9638d7286 test-lib: make $GIT_BUILD_DIR an absolute path
Change the GIT_BUILD_DIR from a path like "/path/to/build/t/.." to
"/path/to/build". The "TEST_DIRECTORY" here is already made an
absolute path a few lines above this.

We could simply do $(cd "$TEST_DIRECTORY"/.." && pwd) here, but as
noted in the preceding commit the "$TEST_DIRECTORY" can't be anything
except the path containing this test-lib.sh file at this point, so we
can more cheaply and equally strip the "/t" off the end.

This change will be helpful to LSAN_OPTIONS which will want to strip
the build directory path from filenames, which we couldn't do if we
had a "/.." in there.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 9dbf20e7f6 test-lib: correct and assert TEST_DIRECTORY overriding
Correct a misleading comment added by me in 62f539043c (test-lib:
Allow overriding of TEST_DIRECTORY, 2010-08-19), and add an assertion
that TEST_DIRECTORY cannot point to any directory except the "t"
directory in the top-level of git.git.

This assertion is in effect not new, since we'd already die if that
wasn't the case[1], but it and the updated commentary help to make
that clearer.

The existing comments were also on the wrong arms of the
"if". I.e. the "allow tests to override this" was on the "test -z"
arm. That came about due to a combination of 62f539043c and
85176d7251 (test-lib.sh: convert $TEST_DIRECTORY to an absolute path,
2013-11-17).

Those earlier comments could be read as allowing the "$TEST_DIRECTORY"
to be some path outside of t/. As explained in the updated comment
that's impossible, rather it was meant for *tests* that ran outside of
t/, i.e. the "t0000-basic.sh" tests that use "lib-subtest.sh".

Those tests have a different working directory, but they set the
"TEST_DIRECTORY" to the same path for bootstrapping. The comments now
reflect that, and further comment on why we have a hard dependency on
this.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 66c1a56870 test-lib: add GIT_SAN_OPTIONS, inherit [AL]SAN_OPTIONS
Change our ASAN_OPTIONS and LSAN_OPTIONS to set defaults for those
variables, rather than punting out entirely if we already have them in
the environment.

We want to take any user-provided settings over our own, but we can do
that by prepending our defaults to the variable. The libsanitizer
options parsing has "last option wins" semantics.

It's now possible to do e.g.:

    LSAN_OPTIONS=report_objects=1 ./t0006-date.sh

And not have the "report_objects=1" setting overwrite our sensible
default of "abort_on_error=1", but by prepending to the list we ensure
that:

    LSAN_OPTIONS=report_objects=1:abort_on_error=0 ./t0006-date.sh

Will take the desired "abort_on_error=0" over our default.

See b0f4c9087e (t: support clang/gcc AddressSanitizer, 2014-12-08)
for the original pattern being altered here, and
85b81b35ff (test-lib: set LSAN_OPTIONS to abort by default,
2017-09-05) for when LSAN_OPTIONS was added in addition to the
then-existing ASAN_OPTIONS.

Junio C Hamano 2587df669b rerere-train: two fixes to the use of "git show -s"
The script uses "git show -s" to display the title of the merge
commit being studied, without explicitly disabling the pager, which
is not a safe thing to do in a script.

For example, when the pager is set to "less" with "-SF" options (-S
tells the pager not to fold lines but allow horizontal scrolling to
show the overly long lines, -F tells the pager not to wait if the
output in its entirety is shown on a single page), and the title of
the merge commit is longer than the width of the terminal, the pager
will wait until the end-user tells it to quit after showing the
single line.

Explicitly disable the pager with this "git show" invocation to fix
this.

The command uses the "--pretty=format:..." format, which adds LF in
between each pair of commits it outputs, which means that the label
for the merge being learned from will be followed by the next
message on the same line.  "--pretty=tformat:..." is what we should
instead, which adds LF after each commit, or a more modern way to
spell it, i.e. "--format=...".  This existing breakage becomes
easier to see, now we no longer use the pager.

Alex Henrie 808213ba36 switch: mention the --detach option when dying due to lack of a branch
Users who are accustomed to doing `git checkout <tag>` assume that
`git switch <tag>` will do the same thing. Inform them of the --detach
option so they aren't left wondering why `git switch` doesn't work but
`git checkout` does.
