Replace the remaining calls of run_command_v_opt() with run_command()
calls and explict struct child_process variables. This is more verbose,
but not by much overall. The code becomes more flexible, e.g. it's easy
to extend to conditionally add a new argument.
Then remove the now unused function and its own flag names, simplifying

As noted in fd3aaf53f7 (run-command: add an "ungroup" option to
run_process_parallel(), 2022-06-07) which added the "ungroup" passing
it to "run_process_parallel()" via the global
"run_processes_parallel_ungroup" variable was a compromise to get the
smallest possible regression fix for "maint" at the time.
This follow-up to that is a start at passing that parameter and others
via a new "struct run_process_parallel_opts", as the earlier
version[1] of what became fd3aaf53f7 did.
Since we need to change all of the occurrences of "n" to
"opt->SOMETHING" let's take the opportunity and rename the terse "n"
to "processes". We could also have picked "max_processes", "jobs",
"threads" etc., but as the API is named "run_processes_parallel()"
let's go with "processes".
Since the new "run_processes_parallel()" function is able to take an
optional "tr2_category" and "tr2_label" via the struct we can at this
point migrate all of the users of "run_processes_parallel_tr2()" over
to it.
But let's not migrate all the API users yet, only the two users that
passed the "ungroup" parameter via the
"run_processes_parallel_ungroup" global

Make the "n" variable added in c553c72eed (run-command: add an
asynchronous parallel child processor, 2015-12-15) a "size_t". As
we'll see in a subsequent commit we do pass "0" here, but never "jobs
< 0".
We could have made it an "unsigned int", but as we're having to change
this let's not leave another case in the codebase where a size_t and
"unsigned int" size differ on some platforms. In this case it's likely
to never matter, but it's easier to not need to worry about it.
After this and preceding changes:
make run-command.o DEVOPTS=extra-all CFLAGS=-Wno-unused-parameter
Only has one (and new) -Wsigned-compare warning relevant to a
comparison about our "n" or "{nr,max}_processes": About using our
"n" (size_t) in the same expression as online_cpus() (int). A
subsequent commit will adjust & deal with online_cpus() and that
warning.
The only users of the "n" parameter are:
* builtin/fetch.c: defaults to 1, reads from the "fetch.parallel"
config. As seen in the code that parses the config added in
d54dea77db (fetch: let --jobs=<n> parallelize --multiple, too,
2019-10-05) will die if the git_config_int() return value is < 0.
It will however pass us n = 0, as we'll see in a subsequent commit.
* submodule.c: defaults to 1, reads from "submodule.fetchJobs"
config. Read via code originally added in a028a1930c (fetching
submodules: respect `submodule.fetchJobs` config option, 2016-02-29).
It now piggy-backs on the the submodule.fetchJobs code and
validation added in f20e7c1ea2 (submodule: remove
submodule.fetchjobs from submodule-config parsing, 2017-08-02).
Like builtin/fetch.c it will die if the git_config_int() return
value is < 0, but like builtin/fetch.c it will pass us n = 0.
* builtin/submodule--helper.c: defaults to 1. Read via code
originally added in 2335b870fa (submodule update: expose parallelism
to the user, 2016-02-29).
Since f20e7c1ea2 (submodule: remove submodule.fetchjobs from
submodule-config parsing, 2017-08-02) it shares a config parser and
semantics with the submodule.c caller.
* hook.c: hardcoded to 1, see 96e7225b31 (hook: add 'run'
subcommand, 2021-12-22).
* t/helper/test-run-command.c: can be -1 after parsing the arguments,
but will then be overridden to online_cpus() before passing it to
this API. See be5d88e112 (test-tool run-command: learn to run (parts

Change the "run_processes_parallel{,_tr2}()" functions to return void,
instead of int. Ever since c553c72eed (run-command: add an
asynchronous parallel child processor, 2015-12-15) they have
unconditionally returned 0.
To get a "real" return value out of this function the caller needs to
get it via the "task_finished_fn" callback, see the example in hook.c
added in 96e7225b31 (hook: add 'run' subcommand, 2021-12-22).
So the "result = " and "if (!result)" code added to "builtin/fetch.c"
d54dea77db (fetch: let --jobs=<n> parallelize --multiple, too,
2019-10-05) has always been redundant, we always took that "if"
path. Likewise the "ret =" in "t/helper/test-run-command.c" added in
be5d88e112 (test-tool run-command: learn to run (parts of) the
testsuite, 2019-10-04) wasn't used, instead we got the return value
from the "if (suite.failed.nr > 0)" block seen in the context.

always-zero return value makes it easier to understand those changes.

In Git 2.36 we revamped the way how hooks are invoked. One change
that is end-user visible is that the output of a hook is no longer
directly connected to the standard output of "git" that spawns the
hook, which was noticed post release. This is getting corrected.
* ab/hooks-regression-fix:
hook API: fix v2.36.0 regression: hooks should be connected to a TTY
run-command: add an "ungroup" option to run_process_parallel()
Rename .env_array member to .env in the child_process structure.
* ab/env-array:
run-command API users: use "env" not "env_array" in comments & names
run-command API: rename "env_array" to "env"
Extend the parallel execution API added in c553c72eed (run-command:
add an asynchronous parallel child processor, 2015-12-15) to support a
mode where the stdout and stderr of the processes isn't captured and
output in a deterministic order, instead we'll leave it to the kernel
and stdio to sort it out.
This gives the API same functionality as GNU parallel's --ungroup
option. As we'll see in a subsequent commit the main reason to want
this is to support stdout and stderr being connected to the TTY in the
case of jobs=1, demonstrated here with GNU parallel:
$ parallel --ungroup 'test -t {} && echo TTY || echo NTTY' ::: 1 2
TTY
TTY
$ parallel 'test -t {} && echo TTY || echo NTTY' ::: 1 2
NTTY
NTTY
Another is as GNU parallel's documentation notes a potential for
optimization. As demonstrated in next commit our results with "git
hook run" will be similar, but generally speaking this shows that if
you want to run processes in parallel where the exact order isn't
important this can be a lot faster:
$ hyperfine -r 3 -L o ,--ungroup 'parallel {o} seq ::: 10000000 >/dev/null '
Benchmark 1: parallel seq ::: 10000000 >/dev/null
Time (mean ± σ): 220.2 ms ± 9.3 ms [User: 124.9 ms, System: 96.1 ms]
Range (min … max): 212.3 ms … 230.5 ms 3 runs
Benchmark 2: parallel --ungroup seq ::: 10000000 >/dev/null
Time (mean ± σ): 154.7 ms ± 0.9 ms [User: 136.2 ms, System: 25.1 ms]
Range (min … max): 153.9 ms … 155.7 ms 3 runs
Summary
'parallel --ungroup seq ::: 10000000 >/dev/null ' ran
1.42 ± 0.06 times faster than 'parallel seq ::: 10000000 >/dev/null '
A large part of the juggling in the API is to make the API safer for
its maintenance and consumers alike.
For the maintenance of the API we e.g. avoid malloc()-ing the
"pp->pfd", ensuring that SANITIZE=address and other similar tools will
catch any unexpected misuse.
For API consumers we take pains to never pass the non-NULL "out"
buffer to an API user that provided the "ungroup" option. The
resulting code in t/helper/test-run-command.c isn't typical of such a
user, i.e. they'd typically use one mode or the other, and would know
whether they'd provided "ungroup" or not.
We could also avoid the strbuf_init() for "buffered_output" by having
"struct parallel_processes" use a static PARALLEL_PROCESSES_INIT
initializer, but let's leave that cleanup for later.
Using a global "run_processes_parallel_ungroup" variable to enable
this option is rather nasty, but is being done here to produce as
minimal of a change as possible for a subsequent regression fix. This
change is extracted from a larger initial version[1] which ends up
with a better end-state for the API, but in doing so needed to modify
all existing callers of the API. Let's defer that for now, and
narrowly focus on what we need for fixing the regression in the
subsequent commit.
It's safe to do this with a global variable because:
A) hook.c is the only user of it that sets it to non-zero, and before
we'll get any other API users we'll refactor away this method of
passing in the option, i.e. re-roll [1].
B) Even if hook.c wasn't the only user we don't have callers of this
API that concurrently invoke this parallel process starting API
itself in parallel.
As noted above "A" && "B" are rather nasty, and we don't want to live
with those caveats long-term, but for now they should be an acceptable
compromise.

The "env_array" name was picked in 19a583dc39 (run-command: add

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.

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

It's unclear how run-command's use_shell option should impact the
arguments fed to a command. Plausibly it could mean that we glue all of
the arguments together into a string to pass to the shell, in which case
that opens the question of whether the caller needs to quote them.
But in fact we don't implement it that way (and even if we did, we'd
probably auto-quote the arguments as part of the glue step). And we must
not receive quoted arguments, because we might actually optimize out the
shell entirely (i.e., the caller does not even know if a shell will be
involved in the end or not).
Since this ambiguity may have been the cause of a recent bug, let's

Rename run_auto_gc() to run_auto_maintenance() to be clearer what is

Rewrite the method to use a struct child_process to simplify the calls

or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits.
Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable
to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different
names is OK).
This patch converts all of the remaining files, as the resulting diff is
reasonably sized.
The conversion was done purely mechanically with:
git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' |
xargs perl -i -pe '
s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g;
s/argv_array/strvec/g;
'
We'll deal with any indentation/style fallouts separately.

When an aliased command, whose output is piped to a pager by git,
gets killed by a signal, the pager got into a funny state, which
has been corrected (again).
* ta/wait-on-aliased-commands-upon-signal:
Wait for child on signal death for aliases to externals
Wait for child on signal death for aliases to builtins
When you hit ^C all the processes in the tree receives it. When a git
command uses a pager, git ignores this and waits until the pager quits.
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.
This was originally fixed in 46df6906 (execv_dashed_external: wait
for child on signal death, 2017-01-06), but was broken by ee4512ed
(trace2: create new combined trace facility, 2019-02-22) and then
b9140840 (git: avoid calling aliased builtins via their dashed form,
2019-07-29).

Back in 1991006c (fetch: convert argv_gc_auto to struct argv_array,
2014-08-16), we taught "git fetch --quiet" to pass the "--quiet"
option down to "gc --auto". This issue, however, is not limited to
"fetch":
$ git grep -e 'gc.*--auto' \*.c
finds hits in "am", "commit", "merge", and "rebase" and these
commands do not pass "--quiet" down to "gc --auto" when they
themselves are told to be quiet.
As a preparatory step, let's introduce a helper function
run_auto_gc(), that the caller can pass a boolean "quiet",
and redo the fix to "git fetch" using the helper.

There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations.
Finish the job by removing all instances of "extern" for function
declarations in headers using sed.
This was done by running the following on my system with sed 4.2.2:
$ git ls-files \*.{c,h} |
grep -v ^compat/ |
xargs sed -i'' -e 's/^\(\s*\)extern \([^(]*([^*]\)/\1\2/'
Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly
copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much
as possible.
Then, leftover instances of extern were found by running
$ git grep -w -C3 extern \*.{c,h}
and manually checking the output. No other instances were found.
Note that the regex used specifically excludes function variables which
_should_ be left as extern.
Not the most elegant way to do it but it gets the job done.

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.

leak out at least in send-pack.c [1].
To keep the code base clean of NO_PTHREADS, move the this #ifdef back

helps suggest that this special "close()" is related to async in fork

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
more details.
