Since the linux-asan-ubsan job runs using clang under Linux, there is
not much point in running a separate clang job. Any errors that a normal
clang compile-and-test cycle would find are likely to be a subset of
what the sanitizer job will find. Since this job takes ~14 minutes to
run in CI, this shaves off some of our CPU load (though it does not
affect end-to-end runtime, since it's typically run in parallel and is
not the longest job).
Technically this provides us with slightly less signal for a given run,
since you won't immediately know if a failure in the sanitizer job is
from using clang or from the sanitizers themselves. But it's generally
obvious from the logs, and anyway your next step would be to fix the
probvlem and re-run CI, since we expect all of these jobs to pass
normally.

When we started running sanitizers in CI via 1c0962c0c4 (ci: add address
and undefined sanitizer tasks, 2022-10-20), we ran them as two separate
CI jobs, since as that commit notes, the combination "seems to take
forever".
And indeed, it does with gcc. However, since the previous commit
switched to using clang, the situation is different, and we can save
some CPU by using a single job for both. Comparing before/after CI runs,
this saved about 14 minutes (the single combined job took 54m, versus
44m plus 24m for ASan and UBSan jobs, respectively). That's wall-clock
and not CPU, but since our jobs are mostly CPU-bound, the two should be
closely proportional.
This does increase the end-to-end time of a CI run, though, since before
this patch the two jobs could run in parallel, and the sanitizer job is
our longest single job. It also means that we won't get a separate
result for "this passed with UBSan but not with ASan" or vice versa).
But as 1c0962c0c4 noted, that is not a very useful signal in practice.
Below are some more detailed timings of gcc vs clang that I measured by
running the test suite on my local workstation. Each measurement counts
only the time to run the test suite with each compiler (not the compile
time itself). We'll focus on the wall-clock times for simplicity, though
the CPU times follow roughly similar trends.
Here's a run with CC=gcc as a baseline:
real 1m12.931s
user 9m30.566s
sys 8m9.538s
Running with SANITIZE=address increases the time by a factor of ~4.7x:
real 5m40.352s
user 49m37.044s
sys 36m42.950s
Running with SANITIZE=undefined increases the time by a factor of ~1.7x:
real 2m5.956s
user 12m42.847s
sys 19m27.067s
So let's call that 6.4 time units to run them separately (where a unit
is the time it takes to run the test suite with no sanitizers). As a
simplistic model, we might imagine that running them together would take
5.4 units (we save 1 unit because we are no longer running the test
suite twice, but just paying the sanitizer overhead on top of a single
run).
But that's not what happens. Running with SANITIZE=address,undefined
results in a factor of 9.3x:
real 11m9.817s
user 77m31.284s
sys 96m40.454s
So not only did we not get faster when doing them together, we actually
spent 1.5x as much CPU as doing them separately! And while those
wall-clock numbers might not look too terrible, keep in mind that this
is on an unloaded 8-core machine. In the CI environment, wall-clock
times will be much closer to CPU times. So not only are we wasting CPU,
but we risk hitting timeouts.
Now let's try the same thing with clang. Here's our no-sanitizer
baseline run, which is almost identical to the gcc one (which is quite
convenient, because we can keep using the same "time units" to get an
apples-to-apples comparison):
real 1m11.844s
user 9m28.313s
sys 8m8.240s
And now again with SANITIZE=address, we get a 5x factor (so slightly
worse than gcc's 4.7x, though I wouldn't read too much into it; there is
a fair bit of run-to-run noise):
real 6m7.662s
user 49m24.330s
sys 44m13.846s
And with SANITIZE=undefined, we are at 1.5x, slightly outperforming gcc
(though again, that's probably mostly noise):
real 1m50.028s
user 11m0.973s
sys 16m42.731s
So running them separately, our total cost is 6.5x. But if we combine
them in a single run (SANITIZE=address,undefined), we get:
real 6m51.804s
user 52m32.049s
sys 51m46.711s
which is a factor of 5.7x. That's along the lines we'd hoped for!
Running them together saves us almost a whole time unit. And that's not
counting any time spent outside the test suite itself (starting the job,
setting up the environment, compiling) that we're no longer duplicating
by having two jobs.
So clang behaves like we'd hope: the overhead to run the sanitizers is
additive as you add more sanitizers. Whereas gcc's numbers seem very
close to multiplicative, almost as if the sanitizers were enforcing
their overheads on each other (though that is purely a guess on what is
going on; ultimately what matters to us is the amount of time it takes).
And that roughly matches the CI improvement I saw. A "time unit" there
is more like 12 minutes, and the observed time savings was 14 minutes
(with the extra presumably coming from avoiding duplicated setup, etc).

Both gcc and clang support the "address" and "undefined" sanitizers.
However, they may produce different results. We've seen at least two
real world cases where gcc missed a UBSan problem but clang found it:
1. Clang's UBSan (using clang 14.0.6) found a string index that was
subtracted to "-1", causing an out-of-bounds read (curiously this
didn't trigger ASan, but that may be because the string was in the
argv memory, not stack or heap). Using gcc (version 12.2.0) didn't
find the same problem.
Original thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20230519005447.GA2955320@coredump.intra.peff.net/
2. Clang's UBSan (using clang 4.0.1) complained about pointer
arithmetic with NULL, but gcc at the time did not. This was in
2017, and modern gcc does seem to find the issue, though.
Original thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/32a8b949-638a-1784-7fba-948ae32206fc@web.de/
Since we don't otherwise have a particular preference for one compiler
over the other for this test, let's switch to the one that we think may
be more thorough.
Note that it's entirely possible that the two are simply _different_,
and we are trading off problems that gcc would find that clang wouldn't.
However, my subjective and anecdotal experience has been that clang's
sanitizer support is a bit more mature (e.g., I recall other oddities
around leak-checking where clang performed more sensibly).
Obviously running both and cross-checking the results would give us the
best coverage, but that's very expensive to run (and these are already
some of our most expensive CI jobs). So let's use clang as our best
guess, and we can re-evaluate if we get more data points.

It has been a frequent matter of contention that the win+VS jobs not
only take a long time to run, but are also more easily broken than the
other jobs (because they do not use the same `Makefile`-based builds as
all other jobs), and to make matters worse, these breakages are also
much harder to diagnose and fix than other jobs', especially for
contributors who are happy to stay away from Windows.
The purpose of these win+VS jobs is to maintain the CMake-based build
of Git, with the target audience being Visual Studio users on Windows
who are typically quite unfamiliar with `make` and POSIX shell
scripting, but the benefit of whose expertise we want for the Git
project nevertheless.
The CMake support was introduced for that specific purpose, and already
early on concerns were raised that it would put an undue burden on
contributors to ensure that these jobs pass in CI, when they do not have
access to Windows machines (nor want to have that).
This developer's initial hope was that it would be enough to fix win+VS
failures and provide the changes to be squashed into contributors'
patches, and that it would be worth the benefit of attracting
Windows-based developers' contributions.
Neither of these hopes have panned out.
To lower the frustration, and incidentally benefit from using way less
build minutes, let's just not run the win+VS jobs by default, which
appears to be the consensus of the mail thread leading up to
https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqk0311blt.fsf@gitster.g/
Since the Git for Windows project still needs to at least try to attract
more of said Windows-based developers, let's keep the jobs, but disable
them everywhere except in Git for Windows' fork. This will help because
Git for Windows' branch thicket is "continuously rebased" via automation
to the `shears/maint`, `shears/main`, `shears/next` and `shears/seen`
branches at https://github.com/git-for-windows/git. That way, the Git
for Windows project will still be notified early on about potential
breakages, but the Git project won't be burdened with fixing them
anymore, which seems to be the best compromise we can get on this issue.

When the "js/ci-github-workflow-markup" topic was originally merged in
[1] it included a change to get rid of the "ci/print-test-failures.sh"
step[2]. This was then brought back in [3] as part of a fix-up patches
on top[4].
The problem was that [3] was not a revert of the relevant parts of
[2], but rather copy/pasted the "ci/print-test-failures.sh" step that
was present for the Windows job to all "ci/print-test-failures.sh"
steps. The Windows steps specified "shell: bash", but the non-Windows
ones did not.
This broke the "ci/print/test-failures.sh" step for the "linux-musl"
job, where we don't have a "bash" shell, just a "/bin/sh" (a
"dash"). This breakage was reported at the time[5], but hadn't been
fixed.
It would be sufficient to change this only for "linux-musl", but let's
change this for both "regular" and "dockerized" to omit the "shell"
line entirely, as we did before [2].
Let's also change undo the "name" change that [3] made while

steps are now the same as they were before [2], except that the "if"
includes the "env.FAILED_TEST_ARTIFACTS" test.

Whenever a branch is pushed to a repository which has GitHub Actions
enabled, a bunch of new workflow runs are started.
We sometimes see contributors push multiple branch updates in rapid
succession, which in conjunction with the impressive time swallowed by
even just a single CI build frequently leads to many queued-up runs.
This is particularly problematic in the case of Pull Requests where a
single contributor can easily (inadvertently) prevent timely builds for
other contributors when using a shared repository.
To help with this situation, let's use the `concurrency` feature of
GitHub workflows, essentially canceling GitHub workflow runs that are
obsoleted by more recent runs:
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#concurrency
For workflows that *do* want the behavior in the pre-image of this
patch, they can use the ci-config feature to disable the new behavior by
adding an executable script on the ci-config branch called
'skip-concurrent' which terminates with a non-zero exit code.

When investigating a test failure, the time that matters most is the
time it takes from getting aware of the failure to displaying the output
of the failing test case.
You currently have to know a lot of implementation details when
investigating test failures in the CI runs. The first step is easy: the
failed job is marked quite clearly, but when opening it, the failed step
is expanded, which in our case is the one running
`ci/run-build-and-tests.sh`. This step, most notably, only offers a
high-level view of what went wrong: it prints the output of `prove`
which merely tells the reader which test script failed.
The actually interesting part is in the detailed log of said failed
test script. But that log is shown in the CI run's step that runs
`ci/print-test-failures.sh`. And that step is _not_ expanded in the web
UI by default. It is even marked as "successful", which makes it very
easy to miss that there is useful information hidden in there.
Let's help the reader by showing the failed tests' detailed logs in the
step that is expanded automatically, i.e. directly after the test suite
failed.
This also helps the situation where the _build_ failed and the
`print-test-failures` step was executed under the assumption that the
_test suite_ failed, and consequently failed to find any failed tests.
An alternative way to implement this patch would be to source
`ci/print-test-failures.sh` in the `handle_test_failures` function to
show these logs. However, over the course of the next few commits, we
want to introduce some grouping which would be harder to achieve that
way (for example, we do want a leaner, and colored, preamble for each
failed test script, and it would be trickier to accommodate the lack of
nested groupings in GitHub workflows' output).

As described in https://trojansource.codes/trojan-source.pdf, it is
possible to abuse directional formatting (a feature of Unicode) to
deceive human readers into interpreting code differently from compilers.
For example, an "if ()" expression could be enclosed in a comment, but
rendered as if it was outside of that comment. In effect, this could
fool a reviewer into misinterpreting the code flow as benign when it is
not.
It is highly unlikely that Git's source code wants to contain such
directional formatting in the first place, so let's just disallow it.

On the Windows build agents, a lot of programs are installed, and added
to the PATH automatically.
One such program is Git for Windows, and due to the way it is set up,
unfortunately its copy of `gpg.exe` is also reachable via the PATH.
This usually does not pose any problems. To the contrary, it even allows
us to test the GPG parts of Git's test suite even if `gpg.exe` is not
delivered as part of `git-sdk-64-minimal`, the minimal subset of Git for
Windows' SDK that we use in the CI builds to compile Git.
However, every once in a while we build a new MSYS2 runtime, which means
that there is a mismatch between the copy in `git-sdk-64-minimal` and
the copy in C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin. When that happens we hit the
dreaded problem where only one `msys-2.0.dll` is expected to be in the
PATH, and things start to fail.
Let's avoid all of this by restricting the PATH to the minimal set. This
is actually done by `git-sdk-64-minimal`'s `/etc/profile`, and we just
have to source this file manually (one would expect that it is sourced
automatically, but the Bash steps in Azure Pipelines/GitHub workflows
are explicitly run using `--noprofile`, hence the need for doing this
explicitly).

CI learns to run the leak sanitizer builds.
* ab/sanitize-leak-ci:
tests: add a test mode for SANITIZE=leak, run it in CI
Makefile: add SANITIZE=leak flag to GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS
While git can be compiled with SANITIZE=leak, we have not run
regression tests under that mode. Memory leaks have only been fixed as
one-offs without structured regression testing.
This change adds CI testing for it. We'll now build and small set of
whitelisted t00*.sh tests under Linux with a new job called
"linux-leaks".
The CI target uses a new GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true test
mode. When running in that mode, we'll assert that we were compiled
with SANITIZE=leak. We'll then skip all tests, except those that we've
opted-in by setting "TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true".
A test setting "TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true" setting can in turn
make use of the "SANITIZE_LEAK" prerequisite, should they wish to
selectively skip tests even under
"GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true". In the preceding commit we
started doing this in "t0004-unwritable.sh" under SANITIZE=leak, now
it'll combine nicely with "GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true".
This is how tests that don't set "TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true" will
be skipped under GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true:
$ GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true ./t0001-init.sh
1..0 # SKIP skip all tests in t0001 under SANITIZE=leak, TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK not set
The intent is to add more TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true annotations
as follow-up change, but let's start small to begin with.
In ci/run-build-and-tests.sh we make use of the default "*" case to
run "make test" without any GIT_TEST_* modes. SANITIZE=leak is known
to fail in combination with GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=true in
t0016-oidmap.sh, and we're likely to have other such failures in
various GIT_TEST_* modes. Let's focus on getting the base tests
passing, we can expand coverage to GIT_TEST_* modes later.
It would also be possible to implement a more lightweight version of
this by only relying on setting "LSAN_OPTIONS". See
<YS9OT/pn5rRK9cGB@coredump.intra.peff.net>[1] and
<YS9ZIDpANfsh7N+S@coredump.intra.peff.net>[2] for a discussion of
that. I've opted for this approach of adding a GIT_TEST_* mode instead
because it's consistent with how we handle other special test modes.
Being able to add a "!SANITIZE_LEAK" prerequisite and calling
"test_done" early if it isn't satisfied also means that we can more
incrementally add regression tests without being forced to fix
widespread and hard-to-fix leaks at the same time.
We have tests that do simple checking of some tool we're interested
in, but later on in the script might be stressing trace2, or common
sources of leaks like "git log" in combination with the tool (e.g. the
commit-graph tests). To be clear having a prerequisite could also be
accomplished by using "LSAN_OPTIONS" directly.
On the topic of "LSAN_OPTIONS": It would be nice to have a mode to
aggregate all failures in our various scripts, see [2] for a start at
doing that which sets "log_path" in "LSAN_OPTIONS". I've punted on
that for now, it can be added later.
As of writing this we've got major regressions between master..seen,
i.e. the t000*.sh tests and more fixed since 31f9acf9ce (Merge branch
'ah/plugleaks', 2021-08-04) have regressed recently.
See the discussion at <87czsv2idy.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com>[3] about
the lack of this sort of test mode, and 0e5bba53af (add UNLEAK
annotation for reducing leak false positives, 2017-09-08) for the
initial addition of SANITIZE=leak.
See also 09595ab381 (Merge branch 'jk/leak-checkers', 2017-09-19),
7782066f67 (Merge branch 'jk/apache-lsan', 2019-05-19) and the recent
936e58851a (Merge branch 'ah/plugleaks', 2021-05-07) for some of the
past history of "one-off" SANITIZE=leak (and more) fixes.
As noted in [5] we can't support this on OSX yet until Clang 14 is
released, at that point we'll probably want to resurrect that
"osx-leaks" job.

The repository of git-l10n is a fork of "git/git" on GitHub, and uses
GitHub pull request for code review. A helper program "git-po-helper"
can be used to check typos in ".po" files, validate syntax, and check
commit messages. It would be convenient to integrate this helper program
to CI and add comments in pull request.
The new github-action workflow will be enabled for l10n related
operations, such as:
* Operations on a repository named as "git-po", such as a repository
forked from "git-l10n/git-po".
* Push to a branch that contains "l10n" in the name.
* Pull request from a remote branch which has "l10n" in the name, such
as: "l10n/fix-fuzzy-translations".
The new l10n workflow listens to two types of github events:
on: [push, pull_request_target]
The reason we use "pull_request_target" instead of "pull_request" is
that pull requests from forks receive a read-only GITHUB_TOKEN and
workflows cannot write comments back to pull requests for security
reasons. GitHub provides a "pull_request_target" event to resolve
security risks by checking out the base commit from the target
repository, and provide write permissions for the workflow.
By default, administrators can set strict permissions for workflows. The
following code is used to modify the permissions for the GITHUB_TOKEN
and grant write permission in order to create comments in pull-requests.
permissions:
pull-requests: write
This workflow will scan commits one by one. If a commit does not look
like a l10n commit (no file in "po/" has been changed), the scan process
will stop immediately. For a "push" event, no error will be reported
because it is normal to push non-l10n commits merged from upstream. But
for the "pull_request_target" event, errors will be reported. For this
reason, additional option is provided for "git-po-helper".
git-po-helper check-commits \
--github-action-event="${{ github.event_name }}" -- \
<base>..<head>
The output messages of "git-po-helper" contain color codes not only for
console, but also for logfile. This is because "git-po-helper" uses a
package named "logrus" for logging, and I use an additional option
"ForceColor" to initialize "logrus" to print messages in a user-friendly
format in logfile output. These color codes help produce beautiful
output for the log of workflow, but they must be stripped off when
creating comments for pull requests. E.g.:
perl -pe 's/\e\[[0-9;]*m//g' git-po-helper.out
"git-po-helper" may generate two kinds of suggestions, errors and
warnings. All the errors and warnings will be reported in the log of the
l10n workflow. However, warnings in the log of the workflow for a
successfully running "git-po-helper" can easily be ignored by users.
For the "pull_request_target" event, this issue is resolved by creating
an additional comment in the pull request. A l10n contributor should try
to fix all the errors, and should pay attention to the warnings.
