Move the post-index-change hook away from run-command.h to and over to
the new hook.h library.
This removes the last direct user of "run_hook_ve()" outside of
run-command.c ("run_hook_le()" still uses it). So we can make the
function static now. A subsequent commit will remove this code
entirely when "run_hook_le()" itself goes away.

worktree: stop being overly intimate with run_command() internals
The function to cull a child process and determine the exit status
had two separate code paths for normal callers and callers in a
signal handler, and the latter did not yield correct value when the
child has caught a signal. The handling of the exit status has
been unified for these two code paths. An existing test with
flakiness has also been corrected.

Change code that printed its own "fatal: " message and exited with a

to replace its error routine with the return value of

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.

Remove the "argv" member from the run-command API, ever since "args"
was added in c460c0ecdc (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.

Migrate those run-command API users that assign directly to the "argv"
member to use a strvec_pushv() of "args" instead.
In these cases it did not make sense to further refactor these
callers, e.g. daemon.c could be made to construct the arguments closer
to handle(), but that would require moving the construction from its
cmd_main() and pass "argv" through two intermediate functions.
It would be possible for a change like this to introduce a regression
if we were doing:
cp.argv = argv;
argv[1] = "foo";
And changed the code, as is being done here, to:
strvec_pushv(&cp.args, argv);
argv[1] = "foo";
But as viewing this change with the "-W" flag reveals none of these
functions modify variable that's being pushed afterwards in a way that
would introduce such a logic error.

Since 507d7804c0 (pager: don't use unsafe functions in signal handlers,
2015-09-04), we have a separate code path in wait_or_whine() for the
case that we're in a signal handler. But that code path misses some of
the cases handled by the main logic.
This was improved in be8fc53e36 (pager: properly log pager exit code
when signalled, 2021-02-02), but that covered only case: actually
returning the correct error code. But there are some other cases:
- if waitpid() returns failure, we wouldn't notice and would look at
uninitialized garbage in the status variable; it's not clear if it's
possible to trigger this or not
- if the process exited by signal, then we would still report "-1"
rather than the correct signal code
This latter case even had a test added in be8fc53e36, but it doesn't
work reliably. It sets the pager command to:
>pager-used; test-tool sigchain
The latter command will die by signal, but because there are multiple
commands, there will be a shell in between. And it's the shell whose
waitpid() call will see the signal death, and it will then exit with
code 143, which is what Git will see.
To make matters even more confusing, some shells (such as bash) will
realize that there's nothing for the shell to do after test-tool
finishes, and will turn it into an exec. So the test was only checking
what it thought when /bin/sh points to a shell like bash (we're relying
on the shell used internally by Git to spawn sub-commands here, so even
running the test under bash would not be enough).
This patch adjusts the tests to explicitly call "exec" in the pager
command, which produces a consistent outcome regardless of shell. Note
that without the code change in this patch it _should_ fail reliably,
but doesn't. That test, like its siblings, tries to trigger SIGPIPE in
the git-log process writing to the pager, but only do so racily. That
will be fixed in a follow-on patch.
For the code change here, we have two options:
- we can teach the in_signal code to handle WIFSIGNALED()
- we can stop returning early when in_signal is set, and instead
annotate individual calls that we need to skip in this case
The former is a simpler patch, but means we're essentially duplicating
all of the logic. So instead I went with the latter. The result is a
bigger patch, and we do run the risk of new code being added but
forgetting to handle in_signal. But in the long run it seems more
maintainable.
I've skipped any non-trivial calls for the in_signal case, like calling
error(). We'll also skip the call to clear_child_for_cleanup(), as we
were before. This is arguably the wrong thing to do, since we wouldn't
want to try to clean it up again. But:
- we can't call it as-is, because it calls free(), which we must avoid
in a signal handler (we'd have to pass in_signal so it can skip the
free() call)
- we'll only go through the list of children to clean once, since our
cleanup_children_on_signal() handler pops itself after running (and
then re-raises, so eventually we'd just exit). So this cleanup only
matters if a process is on the cleanup list _and_ it has a separate
handler to clean itself up. Which is questionable in the first place
(and AFAIK we do not do).
- double-cleanup isn't actually that bad anyway. waitpid() will just
return an error, which we won't even report because of in_signal.

One CI task based on Fedora image noticed a not-quite-kosher
consturct recently, which has been corrected.
* vd/pthread-setspecific-g11-fix:
async_die_is_recursing: work around GCC v11.x issue on Fedora
This fix corrects an issue found in the `dockerized(pedantic, fedora)` CI
build, first appearing after the introduction of a new version of the Fedora
docker image version. This image includes a version of `glibc` with the
attribute `__attr_access_none` added to `pthread_setspecific` [1], the
implementation of which only exists for GCC 11.X - the version included in
the Fedora image. The attribute requires that the pointer provided in the
second argument of `pthread_getspecific` must, if not NULL, be a pointer to
a valid object. In the usage in `async_die_is_recursing`, `(void *)1` is not
valid, causing the error.
This fix imitates a workaround added in SELinux [2] by using the pointer to
the static `async_die_counter` itself as the second argument to
`pthread_setspecific`. This guaranteed non-NULL, valid pointer matches the
intent of the current usage while not triggering the build error.

Code clean up to migrate callers from older advice_config[] based
API to newer advice_if_enabled() and advice_enabled() API.
* ab/retire-advice-config:
advice: move advice.graftFileDeprecated squashing to commit.[ch]
advice: remove use of global advice_add_embedded_repo
advice: remove read uses of most global `advice_` variables
advice: add enum variants for missing advice variables
Before spawning the auto maintenance, we need to make sure that we
release all open file handles to all the `.pack` files (and MIDX files
and commit-graph files and...) so that the maintenance process has the
freedom to delete those files.
So far, we did this manually every time before calling
`run_auto_maintenance()`. With the new `close_object_store` flag, we can
do that implicitly in that function, which is more robust because future
callers won't be able to forget to close the object store.
Note: this changes behavior slightly, as we previously _always_ closed
the object store, but now we only close the object store when actually
running the auto maintenance. In practice, this should not matter (if
anything, it might speed up operations where auto maintenance is
disabled).

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

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.

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

When you hit ^C all the processes in the tree receives it. When a git

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

The slightly misleading name die_bug() of the function intended to
report a bug is actually called always, and only reports a bug if the
passed-in parameter `err` is non-zero.
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().
While at it, use a name more indicative of the purpose: CHECK_BUG().

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. So let's change the

In some situations run-command will incorrectly try (and fail) to

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.

Restoring default signal handlers is required because
execve does not unblock signals, it only restores default
signal handlers. So we must restore them with sigprocmask
before execve, leaving a window when signal handlers
we control can fire in the child. Continue ignoring

Also, as noted in [1], in the event of an ENOEXEC the (p) variants of
exec will attempt to execute the command by interpreting it with the

When Git is built with NO_PTHREADS, we start "struct

The resulting processes get added to the cleanup list but
they don't have a child_process struct, and the cleanup

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

We already have capture_command(), which captures the stdout
of a command in a way that avoids deadlocks. But sometimes
we need to do more I/O, like capturing stderr as well, or
sending data to stdin. It's easy to write code that
deadlocks racily in these situations depending on how fast
the command reads its input, or in which order it writes its
output.
Let's give callers an easy interface for doing this the
right way, similar to what capture_command() did for the
simple case.
The whole thing is backed by a generic poll() loop that can
feed an arbitrary number of buffers to descriptors, and fill
an arbitrary number of strbufs from other descriptors. This
seems like overkill, but the resulting code is actually a
bit cleaner than just handling the three descriptors
(because the output code for stdout/stderr is effectively

"git push" from a corrupt repository that attempts to push a large
number of refs deadlocked; the thread to relay rejection notices
for these ref updates blocked on writing them to the main thread,
after the main thread at the receiving end notices that the push
failed and decides not to read these notices and return a failure.
* jk/push-client-deadlock-fix:
t5504: drop sigpipe=ok from push tests
fetch-pack: isolate sigpipe in demuxer thread
send-pack: isolate sigpipe in demuxer thread
run-command: teach async threads to ignore SIGPIPE
send-pack: close demux pipe before finishing async process
Async processes can be implemented as separate forked
processes, or as threads (depending on the NO_PTHREADS
setting). In the latter case, if an async thread gets
SIGPIPE, it takes down the whole process. This is obviously
bad if the main process was not otherwise going to die, but
even if we were going to die, it means the main process does
not have a chance to report a useful error message.
There's also the small matter that forked async processes
will not take the main process down on a signal, meaning git
will behave differently depending on the NO_PTHREADS
setting.
This patch fixes it by adding a new flag to "struct async"
to block SIGPIPE just in the async thread. In theory, this
should always be on (which makes async threads behave more
like async processes), but we would first want to make sure
that each async process we spawn is careful about checking
return codes from write() and would not spew endlessly into
a dead pipe. So let's start with it as optional, and we can
enable it for specific sites in future patches.
The natural name for this option would be "ignore_sigpipe",
since that's what it does for the threaded case. But since
that name might imply that we are ignoring it in all cases
(including the separate-process one), let's call it
"isolate_sigpipe". What we are really asking for is
isolation. I.e., not to have our main process taken down by
signals spawned by the async process. How that is
implemented is up to the run-command code.

A major part of "git submodule update" has been ported to C to take
advantage of the recently added framework to run download tasks in
parallel.
* sb/submodule-parallel-update:
clone: allow an explicit argument for parallel submodule clones
submodule update: expose parallelism to the user
submodule helper: remove double 'fatal: ' prefix
git submodule update: have a dedicated helper for cloning
run_processes_parallel: rename parameters for the callbacks
run_processes_parallel: treat output of children as byte array
submodule update: direct error message to stderr
fetching submodules: respect `submodule.fetchJobs` config option
submodule-config: drop check against NULL
submodule-config: keep update strategy around
