We have a small helper function called "verbose", with the idea that you
can write:
verbose foo
to get a message to stderr when the "foo" command fails, even if it does
not produce any output itself. This goes back to 8ad1652418 (t5304: use
helper to report failure of "test foo = bar", 2014-10-10). It does work,
but overall it has not been a big success for two reasons:
1. Test writers have to remember to put it there (and the resulting
test code is longer as a result).
2. It doesn't handle the opposite case (we expect "foo" to fail, but
it succeeds), leading to inconsistencies in tests (which you can
see in many hunks of this patch, e.g. ones involving "has_cr").
Most importantly, we added a136f6d8ff (test-lib.sh: support -x option
for shell-tracing, 2014-10-10) at the same time, and it does roughly the
same thing. The output is not quite as succinct as "verbose", and you
have to watch out for stray shell-traces ending up in stderr. But it
solves both of the problems above, and has clearly become the preferred
tool.
Let's consider the "verbose" function a failed experiment and remove the
last few callers (which are all many years old, and have been dwindling
as we remove them from scripts we touch for other reasons). It will be
one less thing for new test writers to see and wonder if they should be
using themselves.

Mark some tests that match "*diff*" as passing when git is compiled
with SANITIZE=leak. They'll now be listed as running under the
"GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true" test mode (the "linux-leaks" CI
target).

OpenBSD's regex library has a repetition limit (RE_DUP_MAX) of 255.
That's the minimum acceptable value according to POSIX. In t4062 we use
4096 repetitions in the test "-G matches", though, causing it to fail.
Combine two repetition operators, both less than 256, to arrive at 4096
zeros instead of using a single one, to fix the test on OpenBSD.

'git {log,diff,...} -S<...> --pickaxe-regex' can segfault as a result
of out-of-bounds memory reads.
diffcore-pickaxe.c:contains() looks for all matches of the given regex
in a buffer in a loop, advancing the buffer pointer to the end of the
last match in each iteration. When we switched to REG_STARTEND in
b7d36ffca (regex: use regexec_buf(), 2016-09-21), we started passing
the size of that buffer to the regexp engine, too. Unfortunately,
this buffer size is never updated on subsequent iterations, and as the
buffer pointer advances on each iteration, this "bufptr+bufsize"
points past the end of the buffer. This results in segmentation
fault, if that memory can't be accessed. In case of 'git log' it can
also result in erroneously listed commits, if the memory past the end
of buffer is accessible and happens to contain data matching the
regex.
Reduce the buffer size on each iteration as the buffer pointer is
advanced, thus maintaining the correct end of buffer location.
Furthermore, make sure that the buffer pointer is not dereferenced in
the control flow statements when we already reached the end of the
buffer.
The new test is flaky, I've never seen it fail on my Linux box even
without the fix, but this is expected according to db5dfa3 (regex:
-G<pattern> feeds a non NUL-terminated string to regexec() and fails,
2016-09-21). However, it did fail on Travis CI with the first (and
incomplete) version of the fix, and based on that commit message I
would expect the new test without the fix to fail most of the time on
Windows.

The new regexec_buf() function operates on buffers with an explicitly
specified length, rather than NUL-terminated strings.
We need to use this function whenever the buffer we want to pass to
regexec(3) may have been mmap(2)ed (and is hence not NUL-terminated).
Note: the original motivation for this patch was to fix a bug where
`git diff -G <regex>` would crash. This patch converts more callers,
though, some of which allocated to construct NUL-terminated strings,
or worse, modified buffers to temporarily insert NULs while calling
regexec(3). By converting them to use regexec_buf(), the code has
become much cleaner.

When our pickaxe code feeds file contents to regexec(), it implicitly
assumes that the file contents are read into implicitly NUL-terminated
buffers (i.e. that we overallocate by 1, appending a single '\0').
This is not so.
In particular when the file contents are simply mmap()ed, we can be
virtually certain that the buffer is preceding uninitialized bytes, or
invalid pages.
Note that the test we add here is known to be flakey: we simply cannot
know whether the byte following the mmap()ed ones is a NUL or not.
Typically, on Linux the test passes. On Windows, it fails virtually
every time due to an access violation (that's a segmentation fault for
you Unix-y people out there). And Windows would be correct: the
regexec() call wants to operate on a regular, NUL-terminated string,
there is no NUL in the mmap()ed memory range, and it is undefined
whether the next byte is even legal to access.
When run with --valgrind it demonstrates quite clearly the breakage, of
course.
Being marked with `test_expect_failure`, this test will sometimes be
declare "TODO fixed", even if it only passes by mistake.
This test case represents a Minimal, Complete and Verifiable Example of
a breakage reported by Chris Sidi.
