745224e04a refs.c: SSE2 optimizations for check_refname_component
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.

9af098c29b Merge branch 'ym/fix-opportunistic-index-update-race'
Read-only operations such as "git status" that internally refreshes
the index write out the refreshed index to the disk to optimize
future accesses to the working tree, but this could race with a
"read-write" operation that modify the index while it is running.
Detect such a race and avoid overwriting the index.

Duy raised a good point that we may need to do the same for the
normal writeout codepath, not just the "opportunistic" update
codepath.  While that is true, nobody sane would be running two
simultaneous operations that are clearly write-oriented competing
with each other against the same index file.  So in that sense that
can be done as a less urgent follow-up for this topic.

Instead of running N pair-wise diff-trees when inspecting a
N-parent merge, find the set of paths that were touched by walking
N+1 trees in parallel.  These set of paths can then be turned into

detections and such.  And N=2 case nicely degenerates to the usual

ff0a80af72 let clang use the constant-return error() macro
Commit e208f9c converted error() into a macro to make its
constant return value more apparent to calling code.  Commit
5ded807 prevents us using this macro with clang, since
clang's -Wunused-value is smart enough to realize that the
constant "-1" is useless in some contexts.

However, since the last commit puts the constant behind an
inline function call, this is enough to prevent the
-Wunused-value warning on both modern gcc and clang. So we
can now re-enable the macro when compiling with clang.

Tested with clang 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5.

87fe5df365 inline constant return from error() function
Commit e208f9c introduced a macro to turn error() calls
into:

  (error(), -1)

to make the constant return value more visible to the
calling code (and thus let the compiler make better
decisions about the code).

This works well for code like:

  return error(...);

but the "-1" is superfluous in code that just calls error()
without caring about the return value. In older versions of
gcc, that was fine, but gcc 4.9 complains with -Wunused-value.

We can work around this by encapsulating the constant return
value in a static inline function, as gcc specifically
avoids complaining about unused function returns unless the
function has been specifically marked with the
warn_unused_result attribute.

We also use the same trick for config_error_nonbool and
opterror, which learned the same error technique in a469a10.

It is a common mistake to call read(2)/pread(2) and forget to
anticipate that they may return error with EAGAIN/EINTR when the
system call is interrupted.

We have xread() helper to relieve callers of read(2) from having to
worry about it; add xpread() helper to do the same for pread(2).

Most gmtime implementations return a NULL value when they
encounter an error (and this behavior is specified by ANSI C

leave the "struct tm" untouched.  Let's also recognize this
and convert it to a NULL (with this patch, t4212 should pass
on FreeBSD).

61f76a3612 Portable alloca for Git
In the next patch we'll have to use alloca() for performance reasons,
but since alloca is non-standardized and is not portable, let's have a
trick with compatibility wrappers:

1. at configure time, determine, do we have working alloca() through
   alloca.h, and define

    #define HAVE_ALLOCA_H

   if yes.

2. in code

    #ifdef HAVE_ALLOCA_H
    # include <alloca.h>
    # define xalloca(size)      (alloca(size))
    # define xalloca_free(p)    do {} while(0)
    #else
    # define xalloca(size)      (xmalloc(size))
    # define xalloca_free(p)    (free(p))
    #endif

   and use it like

   func() {
       p = xalloca(size);
       ...

       xalloca_free(p);
   }

This way, for systems, where alloca is available, we'll have optimal
on-stack allocations with fast executions. On the other hand, on
systems, where alloca is not available, this gracefully fallbacks to
xmalloc/free.

Both autoconf and config.mak.uname configurations were updated. For
autoconf, we are not bothering considering cases, when no alloca.h is
available, but alloca() works some other way - its simply alloca.h is
available and works or not, everything else is deep legacy.

For config.mak.uname, I've tried to make my almost-sure guess for where
alloca() is available, but since I only have access to Linux it is the
only change I can be sure about myself, with relevant to other changed
systems people Cc'ed.

NOTE

SunOS and Windows had explicit -DHAVE_ALLOCA_H in their configurations.
I've changed that to now-common HAVE_ALLOCA_H=YesPlease which should be
correct.

956623157f strbuf: introduce starts_with() and ends_with()
prefixcmp() and suffixcmp() share the common "cmp" suffix that
typically are used to name functions that can be used for ordering,
but they can't, because they are not antisymmetric:

        prefixcmp("foo", "foobar") < 0
        prefixcmp("foobar", "foo") == 0

We in fact do not use these functions for ordering.  Replace them
with functions that just check for equality.

Add starts_with() and end_with() that will be used to replace
prefixcmp() and suffixcmp(), respectively, as the first step.  These
are named after corresponding functions/methods in programming
languages, like Java, Python and Ruby.

In vcs-svn/fast_export.c, there was already an ends_with() function
that did the same thing. Let's use the new one instead while at it.

7c3ecb3254 Don't close pack fd when free'ing pack windows
Now that close_one_pack() has been introduced to handle file
descriptor pressure, it is not strictly necessary to close the
pack file descriptor in unuse_one_window() when we're under memory
pressure.

Jeff King provided a justification for leaving the pack file open:

   If you close packfile descriptors, you can run into racy situations
   where somebody else is repacking and deleting packs, and they go away
   while you are trying to access them. If you keep a descriptor open,
   you're fine; they last to the end of the process. If you don't, then
   they disappear from under you.

   For normal object access, this isn't that big a deal; we just rescan
   the packs and retry. But if you are packing yourself (e.g., because
   you are a pack-objects started by upload-pack for a clone or fetch),
   it's much harder to recover (and we print some warnings).

Let's do so (or uh, not do so).

f66450ae94 cygwin: Remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation
Commit adbc0b6b ("cygwin: Use native Win32 API for stat", 30-09-2008)
added a Win32 specific implementation of the stat functions. In order
to handle absolute paths, cygwin mount points and symbolic links, this
implementation may fall back on the standard cygwin l/stat() functions.
Also, the choice of cygwin or Win32 functions is made lazily (by the
first call(s) to l/stat) based on the state of some config variables.

Unfortunately, this "schizophrenic stat" implementation has been the
source of many problems ever since. For example, see commits 7faee6b8,
79748439, 452993c2, 085479e7, b8a97333, 924aaf3e, 05bab3ea and 0117c2f0.

In order to avoid further problems, such as the issue raised by the new
reference handling API, remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation.

2f0aaaf9da path: Fix a sparse warning
On MinGW, sparse issues an "'get_st_mode_bits' not declared. Should
it be static?" warning. The MinGW and MSVC builds do not see the
declaration of this function, within git-compat-util.h, due to its
placement within an preprocessor conditional.

In order to suppress the warning, we simply move the declaration to
the top level of the header.

When $HOME is misconfigured to point at an unreadable directory, we
used to complain and die. This loosens the check.

6c642a8786 compate/clipped-write.c: large write(2) fails on Mac OS X/XNU
Due to a bug in the Darwin kernel, write(2) calls have a maximum size
of INT_MAX bytes.

Introduce a new compat function, clipped_write(), that only writes
at most INT_MAX bytes and returns the number of bytes written, as
a substitute for write(2), and allow platforms that need this to
enable it from the build mechanism with NEEDS_CLIPPED_WRITE.

Set it for Mac OS X by default.  It may be necessary to include this
function on Windows, too.

380395d094 mingw: rename WIN32 cpp macro to GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE
Throughout git, it is assumed that the WIN32 preprocessor symbol is
defined on native Windows setups (mingw and msvc) and not on Cygwin.
On Cygwin, most of the time git can pretend this is just another Unix
machine, and Windows-specific magic is generally counterproductive.

Unfortunately Cygwin *does* define the WIN32 symbol in some headers.
Best to rely on a new git-specific symbol GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE instead,
defined as follows:

	#if defined(WIN32) && !defined(__CYGWIN__)
	# define GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE
	#endif

After this change, it should be possible to drop the
CYGWIN_V15_WIN32API setting without any negative effect.

c19a490e37 usage: allow pluggable die-recursion checks
When any git code calls die or die_errno, we use a counter
to detect recursion into the die functions from any of the
helper functions. However, such a simple counter is not good
enough for threaded programs, which may call die from a
sub-thread, killing only the sub-thread (but incrementing
the counter for everyone).

Rather than try to deal with threads ourselves here, let's
just allow callers to plug in their own recursion-detection
function. This is similar to how we handle the die routine
(the caller plugs in a die routine which may kill only the
sub-thread).

4698c8feb1 config: allow inaccessible configuration under $HOME
The changes v1.7.12.1~2^2~4 (config: warn on inaccessible files,
2012-08-21) and v1.8.1.1~22^2~2 (config: treat user and xdg config
permission problems as errors, 2012-10-13) were intended to prevent
important configuration (think "[transfer] fsckobjects") from being
ignored when the configuration is unintentionally unreadable (for
example with EIO on a flaky filesystem, or with ENOMEM due to a DoS
attack).  Usually ~/.gitconfig and ~/.config/git are readable by the
current user, and if they aren't then it would be easy to fix those
permissions, so the damage from adding this check should have been
minimal.

Unfortunately the access() check often trips when git is being run as
a server.  A daemon (such as inetd or git-daemon) starts as "root",
creates a listening socket, and then drops privileges, meaning that
when git commands are invoked they cannot access $HOME and die with

 fatal: unable to access '/root/.config/git/config': Permission denied

Any patch to fix this would have one of three problems:

  1. We annoy sysadmins who need to take an extra step to handle HOME
     when dropping privileges (the current behavior, or any other
     proposal that they have to opt into).

  2. We annoy sysadmins who want to set HOME when dropping privileges,
     either by making what they want to do impossible, or making them
     set an extra variable or option to accomplish what used to work
     (e.g., a patch to git-daemon to set HOME when --user is passed).

  3. We loosen the check, so some cases which might be noteworthy are
     not caught.

This patch is of type (3).

Treat user and xdg configuration that are inaccessible due to
permissions (EACCES) as though no user configuration was provided at
all.

An alternative method would be to check if $HOME is readable, but that
would not help in cases where the user who dropped privileges had a
globally readable HOME with only .config or .gitconfig being private.

This does not change the behavior when /etc/gitconfig or .git/config
is unreadable (since those are more serious configuration errors),
nor when ~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git is unreadable due to problems
other than permissions.
