run-command: optionally kill children on exit
When we spawn a helper process, it should generally be done
and finish_command called before we exit. However, if we
exit abnormally due to an early return or a signal, the
helper may continue to run in our absence.
In the best case, this may simply be wasted CPU cycles or a
few stray messages on a terminal. But it could also mean a
process that the user thought was aborted continues to run
to completion (e.g., a push's pack-objects helper will
complete the push, even though you killed the push process).
This patch provides infrastructure for run-command to keep
track of PIDs to be killed, and clean them on signal
reception or input, just as we do with tempfiles. PIDs can
be added in two ways:
1. If NO_PTHREADS is defined, async helper processes are
automatically marked. By definition this code must be
ready to die when the parent dies, since it may be
implemented as a thread of the parent process.
2. If the run-command caller specifies the "clean_on_exit"
option. This is not the default, as there are cases
where it is OK for the child to outlive us (e.g., when
spawning a pager).
PIDs are cleared from the kill-list automatically during
wait_or_whine, which is called from finish_command and
finish_async.

run-command: add an asynchronous parallel child processor
This allows to run external commands in parallel with ordered output
on stderr.
If we run external commands in parallel we cannot pipe the output directly
to the our stdout/err as it would mix up. So each process's output will
flow through a pipe, which we buffer. One subprocess can be directly
piped to out stdout/err for a low latency feedback to the user.
Example:
Let's assume we have 5 submodules A,B,C,D,E and each fetch takes a
different amount of time as the different submodules vary in size, then
the output of fetches in sequential order might look like this:
time -->
output: |---A---| |-B-| |-------C-------| |-D-| |-E-|
When we schedule these submodules into maximal two parallel processes,
a schedule and sample output over time may look like this:
process 1: |---A---| |-D-| |-E-|
process 2: |-B-| |-------C-------|
output: |---A---|B|---C-------|DE
So A will be perceived as it would run normally in the single child
version. As B has finished by the time A is done, we can dump its whole
progress buffer on stderr, such that it looks like it finished in no
time. Once that is done, C is determined to be the visible child and
its progress will be reported in real time.
So this way of output is really good for human consumption, as it only
changes the timing, not the actual output.
For machine consumption the output needs to be prepared in the tasks,
by either having a prefix per line or per block to indicate whose tasks
output is displayed, because the output order may not follow the
original sequential ordering:
|----A----| |--B--| |-C-|
will be scheduled to be all parallel:
process 1: |----A----|
process 2: |--B--|
process 3: |-C-|
output: |----A----|CB
This happens because C finished before B did, so it will be queued for
output before B.
To detect when a child has finished executing, we check interleaved
with other actions (such as checking the liveliness of children or
starting new processes) whether the stderr pipe still exists. Once a
child closed its stderr stream, we assume it is terminating very soon,
and use `finish_command()` from the single external process execution
interface to collect the exit status.
By maintaining the strong assumption of stderr being open until the
very end of a child process, we can avoid other hassle such as an
implementation using `waitpid(-1)`, which is not implemented in Windows.

pipe_command(): mark stdin descriptor as non-blocking
Our pipe_command() helper lets you both write to and read from a child
process on its stdin/stdout. It's supposed to work without deadlocks
because we use poll() to check when descriptors are ready for reading or
writing. But there's a bug: if both the data to be written and the data
to be read back exceed the pipe buffer, we'll deadlock.
The issue is that the code assumes that if you have, say, a 2MB buffer
to write and poll() tells you that the pipe descriptor is ready for
writing, that calling:
write(cmd->in, buf, 2*1024*1024);
will do a partial write, filling the pipe buffer and then returning what
it did write. And that is what it would do on a socket, but not for a
pipe. When writing to a pipe, at least on Linux, it will block waiting
for the child process to read() more. And now we have a potential
deadlock, because the child may be writing back to us, waiting for us to
read() ourselves.
An easy way to trigger this is:
git -c add.interactive.useBuiltin=true \
-c interactive.diffFilter=cat \
checkout -p HEAD~200
The diff against HEAD~200 will be big, and the filter wants to write all
of it back to us (obviously this is a dummy filter, but in the real
world something like diff-highlight would similarly stream back a big
output).
If you set add.interactive.useBuiltin to false, the problem goes away,
because now we're not using pipe_command() anymore (instead, that part
happens in perl). But this isn't a bug in the interactive code at all.
It's the underlying pipe_command() code which is broken, and has been
all along.
We presumably didn't notice because most calls only do input _or_
output, not both. And the few that do both, like gpg calls, may have
large inputs or outputs, but never both at the same time (e.g., consider
signing, which has a large payload but a small signature comes back).
The obvious fix is to put the descriptor into non-blocking mode, and
indeed, that makes the problem go away. Callers shouldn't need to
care, because they never see the descriptor (they hand us a buffer to
feed into it).
The included test fails reliably on Linux without this patch. Curiously,
it doesn't fail in our Windows CI environment, but has been reported to
do so for individual developers. It should pass in any environment after
this patch (courtesy of the compat/ layers added in the last few
commits).

pager: don't use unsafe functions in signal handlers
Since the commit a3da8821208d (pager: do wait_for_pager on signal
death), we call wait_for_pager() in the pager's signal handler. The
recent bug report revealed that this causes a deadlock in glibc at
aborting "git log" [*1*]. When this happens, git process is left
unterminated, and it can't be killed by SIGTERM but only by SIGKILL.
The problem is that wait_for_pager() function does more than waiting
for pager process's termination, but it does cleanups and printing
errors. Unfortunately, the functions that may be used in a signal
handler are very limited [*2*]. Particularly, malloc(), free() and the
variants can't be used in a signal handler because they take a mutex
internally in glibc. This was the cause of the deadlock above. Other
than the direct calls of malloc/free, many functions calling
malloc/free can't be used. strerror() is such one, either.
Also the usage of fflush() and printf() in a signal handler is bad,
although it seems working so far. In a safer side, we should avoid
them, too.
This patch tries to reduce the calls of such functions in signal
handlers. wait_for_signal() takes a flag and avoids the unsafe
calls. Also, finish_command_in_signal() is introduced for the
same reason. There the free() calls are removed, and only waits for
the children without whining at errors.

execv_dashed_external: wait for child on signal death
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.

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.

execv_dashed_external: wait for child on signal death
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.

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

pager: don't use unsafe functions in signal handlers
Since the commit a3da8821208d (pager: do wait_for_pager on signal
death), we call wait_for_pager() in the pager's signal handler. The
recent bug report revealed that this causes a deadlock in glibc at
aborting "git log" [*1*]. When this happens, git process is left
unterminated, and it can't be killed by SIGTERM but only by SIGKILL.
The problem is that wait_for_pager() function does more than waiting
for pager process's termination, but it does cleanups and printing
errors. Unfortunately, the functions that may be used in a signal
handler are very limited [*2*]. Particularly, malloc(), free() and the
variants can't be used in a signal handler because they take a mutex
internally in glibc. This was the cause of the deadlock above. Other
than the direct calls of malloc/free, many functions calling
malloc/free can't be used. strerror() is such one, either.
Also the usage of fflush() and printf() in a signal handler is bad,
although it seems working so far. In a safer side, we should avoid
them, too.
This patch tries to reduce the calls of such functions in signal
handlers. wait_for_signal() takes a flag and avoids the unsafe
calls. Also, finish_command_in_signal() is introduced for the
same reason. There the free() calls are removed, and only waits for
the children without whining at errors.

run-command: optionally kill children on exit
When we spawn a helper process, it should generally be done
and finish_command called before we exit. However, if we
exit abnormally due to an early return or a signal, the
helper may continue to run in our absence.
In the best case, this may simply be wasted CPU cycles or a
few stray messages on a terminal. But it could also mean a
process that the user thought was aborted continues to run
to completion (e.g., a push's pack-objects helper will
complete the push, even though you killed the push process).
This patch provides infrastructure for run-command to keep
track of PIDs to be killed, and clean them on signal
reception or input, just as we do with tempfiles. PIDs can
be added in two ways:
1. If NO_PTHREADS is defined, async helper processes are
automatically marked. By definition this code must be
ready to die when the parent dies, since it may be
implemented as a thread of the parent process.
2. If the run-command caller specifies the "clean_on_exit"
option. This is not the default, as there are cases
where it is OK for the child to outlive us (e.g., when
spawning a pager).
PIDs are cleared from the kill-list automatically during
wait_or_whine, which is called from finish_command and
finish_async.

run-command: avoid undefined behavior in exists_in_PATH
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.

prepare_{git,shell}_cmd: use argv_array
These functions transform an existing argv into one suitable
for exec-ing or spawning via git or a shell. We can use an
argv_array in each to avoid dealing with manual counting and
allocation.
This also makes the memory allocation more clear and fixes
some leaks. In prepare_shell_cmd, we would sometimes
allocate a new string with "$@" in it and sometimes not,
meaning the caller could not correctly free it. On the
non-Windows side, we are in a child process which will
exec() or exit() immediately, so the leak isn't a big deal.
On Windows, though, we use spawn() from the parent process,
and leak a string for each shell command we run. On top of
that, the Windows code did not free the allocated argv array
at all (but does for the prepare_git_cmd case!).
By switching both of these functions to write into an
argv_array, we can consistently free the result as
appropriate.

Do not use SHELL_PATH from build system in prepare_shell_cmd on Windows
The recent change to use SHELL_PATH instead of "sh" to spawn shell commands
is not suited for Windows:
- The default setting, "/bin/sh", does not work when git has to run the
shell because it is a POSIX style path, but not a proper Windows style
path.
- If it worked, it would hard-code a position in the files system where
the shell is expected, making git (more precisely, the POSIX toolset that
is needed alongside git) non-relocatable. But we cannot sacrifice
relocatability on Windows.
- Apart from that, even though the Makefile leaves SHELL_PATH set to
"/bin/sh" for the Windows builds, the build system passes a mangled path
to the compiler, and something like "D:/Src/msysgit/bin/sh" is used,
which is doubly bad because it points to where /bin/sh resolves to on
the system where git was built.
- Finally, the system's CreateProcess() function that is used under
mingw.c's hood does not work with forward slashes and cannot find the
shell.
Undo the earlier change on Windows.

run-command API: remove "argv" member, always use "args"
Remove the "argv" member from the run-command API, ever since "args"
was added in c460c0ecdca (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.

pager: don't use unsafe functions in signal handlers
Since the commit a3da8821208d (pager: do wait_for_pager on signal
death), we call wait_for_pager() in the pager's signal handler. The
recent bug report revealed that this causes a deadlock in glibc at
aborting "git log" [*1*]. When this happens, git process is left
unterminated, and it can't be killed by SIGTERM but only by SIGKILL.
The problem is that wait_for_pager() function does more than waiting
for pager process's termination, but it does cleanups and printing
errors. Unfortunately, the functions that may be used in a signal
handler are very limited [*2*]. Particularly, malloc(), free() and the
variants can't be used in a signal handler because they take a mutex
internally in glibc. This was the cause of the deadlock above. Other
than the direct calls of malloc/free, many functions calling
malloc/free can't be used. strerror() is such one, either.
Also the usage of fflush() and printf() in a signal handler is bad,
although it seems working so far. In a safer side, we should avoid
them, too.
This patch tries to reduce the calls of such functions in signal
handlers. wait_for_signal() takes a flag and avoids the unsafe
calls. Also, finish_command_in_signal() is introduced for the
same reason. There the free() calls are removed, and only waits for
the children without whining at errors.

run-command: unify signal and regular logic for wait_or_whine()
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.

run-command: encode signal death as a positive integer
When a sub-command dies due to a signal, we encode the
signal number into the numeric exit status as "signal -
128". This is easy to identify (versus a regular positive
error code), and when cast to an unsigned integer (e.g., by
feeding it to exit), matches what a POSIX shell would return
when reporting a signal death in $? or through its own exit
code.
So we have a negative value inside the code, but once it
passes across an exit() barrier, it looks positive (and any
code we receive from a sub-shell will have the positive
form). E.g., death by SIGPIPE (signal 13) will look like
-115 to us in inside git, but will end up as 141 when we
call exit() with it. And a program killed by SIGPIPE but run
via the shell will come to us with an exit code of 141.
Unfortunately, this means that when the "use_shell" option
is set, we need to be on the lookout for _both_ forms. We
might or might not have actually invoked the shell (because
we optimize out some useless shell calls). If we didn't invoke
the shell, we will will see the sub-process's signal death
directly, and run-command converts it into a negative value.
But if we did invoke the shell, we will see the shell's
128+signal exit status. To be thorough, we would need to
check both, or cast the value to an unsigned char (after
checking that it is not -1, which is a magic error value).
Fortunately, most callsites do not care at all whether the
exit was from a code or from a signal; they merely check for
a non-zero status, and sometimes propagate the error via
exit(). But for the callers that do care, we can make life
slightly easier by just using the consistent positive form.
This actually fixes two minor bugs:
1. In launch_editor, we check whether the editor died from
SIGINT or SIGQUIT. But we checked only the negative
form, meaning that we would fail to notice a signal
death exit code which was propagated through the shell.
2. In handle_alias, we assume that a negative return value
from run_command means that errno tells us something
interesting (like a fork failure, or ENOENT).
Otherwise, we simply propagate the exit code. Negative
signal death codes confuse us, and we print a useless
"unable to run alias 'foo': Success" message. By
encoding signal deaths using the positive form, the
existing code just propagates it as it would a normal
non-zero exit code.
The downside is that callers of run_command can no longer
differentiate between a signal received directly by the
sub-process, and one propagated. However, no caller
currently cares, and since we already optimize out some
calls to the shell under the hood, that distinction is not
something that should be relied upon by callers.
Fix the same logic in t/test-terminal.perl for consistency [jc:
raised by Jonathan in the discussion].

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.

run-command: optionally kill children on exit
When we spawn a helper process, it should generally be done
and finish_command called before we exit. However, if we
exit abnormally due to an early return or a signal, the
helper may continue to run in our absence.
In the best case, this may simply be wasted CPU cycles or a
few stray messages on a terminal. But it could also mean a
process that the user thought was aborted continues to run
to completion (e.g., a push's pack-objects helper will
complete the push, even though you killed the push process).
This patch provides infrastructure for run-command to keep
track of PIDs to be killed, and clean them on signal
reception or input, just as we do with tempfiles. PIDs can
be added in two ways:
1. If NO_PTHREADS is defined, async helper processes are
automatically marked. By definition this code must be
ready to die when the parent dies, since it may be
implemented as a thread of the parent process.
2. If the run-command caller specifies the "clean_on_exit"
option. This is not the default, as there are cases
where it is OK for the child to outlive us (e.g., when
spawning a pager).
PIDs are cleared from the kill-list automatically during
wait_or_whine, which is called from finish_command and
finish_async.

run-command API: remove "argv" member, always use "args"
Remove the "argv" member from the run-command API, ever since "args"
was added in c460c0ecdca (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.

run_command: report system call errors instead of returning error codes
The motivation for this change is that system call failures are serious
errors that should be reported to the user, but only few callers took the
burden to decode the error codes that the functions returned into error
messages.
If at all, then only an unspecific error message was given. A prominent
example is this:
$ git upload-pack . | :
fatal: unable to run 'git-upload-pack'
In this example, git-upload-pack, the external command invoked through the
git wrapper, dies due to SIGPIPE, but the git wrapper does not bother to
report the real cause. In fact, this very error message is copied to the
syslog if git-daemon's client aborts the connection early.
With this change, system call failures are reported immediately after the
failure and only a generic failure code is returned to the caller. In the
above example the error is now to the point:
$ git upload-pack . | :
error: git-upload-pack died of signal
Note that there is no error report if the invoked program terminated with
a non-zero exit code, because it is reasonable to expect that the invoked
program has already reported an error. (But many run_command call sites
nevertheless write a generic error message.)
There was one special return code that was used to identify the case where
run_command failed because the requested program could not be exec'd. This
special case is now treated like a system call failure with errno set to
ENOENT. No error is reported in this case, because the call site in git.c
expects this as a normal result. Therefore, the callers that carefully
decoded the return value still check for this condition.

Note that there is no error report if the invoked program terminated with
a non-zero exit code, because it is reasonable to expect that the invoked
program has already reported an error. (But many run_command call sites
nevertheless write a generic error message.)
There was one special return code that was used to identify the case where
run_command failed because the requested program could not be exec'd. This
special case is now treated like a system call failure with errno set to
ENOENT. No error is reported in this case, because the call site in git.c
expects this as a normal result. Therefore, the callers that carefully
decoded the return value still check for this condition.

run_command: report system call errors instead of returning error codes
The motivation for this change is that system call failures are serious
errors that should be reported to the user, but only few callers took the
burden to decode the error codes that the functions returned into error
messages.
If at all, then only an unspecific error message was given. A prominent
example is this:
$ git upload-pack . | :
fatal: unable to run 'git-upload-pack'
In this example, git-upload-pack, the external command invoked through the
git wrapper, dies due to SIGPIPE, but the git wrapper does not bother to
report the real cause. In fact, this very error message is copied to the
syslog if git-daemon's client aborts the connection early.
With this change, system call failures are reported immediately after the
failure and only a generic failure code is returned to the caller. In the
above example the error is now to the point:
$ git upload-pack . | :
error: git-upload-pack died of signal
Note that there is no error report if the invoked program terminated with
a non-zero exit code, because it is reasonable to expect that the invoked
program has already reported an error. (But many run_command call sites

run-command API: remove "argv" member, always use "args"
Remove the "argv" member from the run-command API, ever since "args"
was added in c460c0ecdca (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.

notice error exit from pager
If the pager fails to run, git produces no output, e.g.:
$ GIT_PAGER=not-a-command git log
The error reporting fails for two reasons:
(1) start_command: There is a mechanism that detects errors during
execvp introduced in 2b541bf8 (start_command: detect execvp
failures early). The child writes one byte to a pipe only if
execvp fails. The parent waits for either EOF, when the
successful execvp automatically closes the pipe (see
FD_CLOEXEC in fcntl(1)), or it reads a single byte, in which
case it knows that the execvp failed. This mechanism is
incompatible with the workaround introduced in 35ce8622
(pager: Work around window resizing bug in 'less'), which
waits for input from the parent before the exec. Since both
the parent and the child are waiting for input from each
other, that would result in a deadlock. In order to avoid
that, the mechanism is disabled by closing the child_notifier
file descriptor.
(2) finish_command: The parent correctly detects the 127 exit
status from the child, but the error output goes nowhere,
since by that time it is already being redirected to the
child.
No simple solution for (1) comes to mind.
Number (2) can be solved by not sending error output to the pager.
Not redirecting error output to the pager can result in the pager
overwriting error output with standard output, however.
Since there is no reliable way to handle error reporting in the
parent, produce the output in the child instead.

run_command: report system call errors instead of returning error codes
The motivation for this change is that system call failures are serious
errors that should be reported to the user, but only few callers took the
burden to decode the error codes that the functions returned into error
messages.
If at all, then only an unspecific error message was given. A prominent
example is this:
$ git upload-pack . | :
fatal: unable to run 'git-upload-pack'
In this example, git-upload-pack, the external command invoked through the
git wrapper, dies due to SIGPIPE, but the git wrapper does not bother to
report the real cause. In fact, this very error message is copied to the
syslog if git-daemon's client aborts the connection early.
With this change, system call failures are reported immediately after the
failure and only a generic failure code is returned to the caller. In the
above example the error is now to the point:
$ git upload-pack . | :
error: git-upload-pack died of signal
Note that there is no error report if the invoked program terminated with
a non-zero exit code, because it is reasonable to expect that the invoked
program has already reported an error. (But many run_command call sites
nevertheless write a generic error message.)
There was one special return code that was used to identify the case where
run_command failed because the requested program could not be exec'd. This
special case is now treated like a system call failure with errno set to
ENOENT. No error is reported in this case, because the call site in git.c
expects this as a normal result. Therefore, the callers that carefully
decoded the return value still check for this condition.

run-command API: remove "argv" member, always use "args"
Remove the "argv" member from the run-command API, ever since "args"
was added in c460c0ecdca (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.

run-command: optionally kill children on exit
When we spawn a helper process, it should generally be done
and finish_command called before we exit. However, if we
exit abnormally due to an early return or a signal, the
helper may continue to run in our absence.
In the best case, this may simply be wasted CPU cycles or a
few stray messages on a terminal. But it could also mean a
process that the user thought was aborted continues to run
to completion (e.g., a push's pack-objects helper will
complete the push, even though you killed the push process).
This patch provides infrastructure for run-command to keep
track of PIDs to be killed, and clean them on signal
reception or input, just as we do with tempfiles. PIDs can
be added in two ways:
1. If NO_PTHREADS is defined, async helper processes are
automatically marked. By definition this code must be
ready to die when the parent dies, since it may be
implemented as a thread of the parent process.
2. If the run-command caller specifies the "clean_on_exit"
option. This is not the default, as there are cases
where it is OK for the child to outlive us (e.g., when
spawning a pager).
PIDs are cleared from the kill-list automatically during
wait_or_whine, which is called from finish_command and
finish_async.

Windows: avoid the "dup dance" when spawning a child process
When stdin, stdout, or stderr must be redirected for a child process that
on Windows is spawned using one of the spawn() functions of Microsoft's
C runtime, then there is no choice other than to
1. make a backup copy of fd 0,1,2 with dup
2. dup2 the redirection source fd into 0,1,2
3. spawn
4. dup2 the backup back into 0,1,2
5. close the backup copy and the redirection source
We used this idiom as well -- but we are not using the spawn() functions
anymore!
Instead, we have our own implementation. We had hardcoded that stdin,
stdout, and stderr of the child process were inherited from the parent's
fds 0, 1, and 2. But we can actually specify any fd.
With this patch, the fds to inherit are passed from start_command()'s
WIN32 section to our spawn implementation. This way, we can avoid the
backup copies of the fds.
The backup copies were a bug waiting to surface: The OS handles underlying
the dup()ed fds were inherited by the child process (but were not
associated with a file descriptor in the child). Consequently, the file or
pipe represented by the OS handle remained open even after the backup copy
was closed in the parent process until the child exited.
Since our implementation of pipe() creates non-inheritable OS handles, we
still dup() file descriptors in start_command() because dup() happens to
create inheritable duplicates. (A nice side effect is that the fd cleanup
in start_command is the same for Windows and Unix and remains unchanged.)

Windows: avoid the "dup dance" when spawning a child process
When stdin, stdout, or stderr must be redirected for a child process that
on Windows is spawned using one of the spawn() functions of Microsoft's
C runtime, then there is no choice other than to
1. make a backup copy of fd 0,1,2 with dup
2. dup2 the redirection source fd into 0,1,2
3. spawn
4. dup2 the backup back into 0,1,2
5. close the backup copy and the redirection source
We used this idiom as well -- but we are not using the spawn() functions
anymore!
Instead, we have our own implementation. We had hardcoded that stdin,
stdout, and stderr of the child process were inherited from the parent's
fds 0, 1, and 2. But we can actually specify any fd.
With this patch, the fds to inherit are passed from start_command()'s
WIN32 section to our spawn implementation. This way, we can avoid the
backup copies of the fds.
The backup copies were a bug waiting to surface: The OS handles underlying
the dup()ed fds were inherited by the child process (but were not
associated with a file descriptor in the child). Consequently, the file or
pipe represented by the OS handle remained open even after the backup copy
was closed in the parent process until the child exited.
Since our implementation of pipe() creates non-inheritable OS handles, we
still dup() file descriptors in start_command() because dup() happens to
create inheritable duplicates. (A nice side effect is that the fd cleanup
in start_command is the same for Windows and Unix and remains unchanged.)

run-command API: remove "argv" member, always use "args"

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

run_command: report system call errors instead of returning error codes
The motivation for this change is that system call failures are serious
errors that should be reported to the user, but only few callers took the
burden to decode the error codes that the functions returned into error
messages.
If at all, then only an unspecific error message was given. A prominent
example is this:
$ git upload-pack . | :
fatal: unable to run 'git-upload-pack'
In this example, git-upload-pack, the external command invoked through the
git wrapper, dies due to SIGPIPE, but the git wrapper does not bother to
report the real cause. In fact, this very error message is copied to the
syslog if git-daemon's client aborts the connection early.
With this change, system call failures are reported immediately after the
failure and only a generic failure code is returned to the caller. In the
above example the error is now to the point:
$ git upload-pack . | :
error: git-upload-pack died of signal
Note that there is no error report if the invoked program terminated with
a non-zero exit code, because it is reasonable to expect that the invoked
program has already reported an error. (But many run_command call sites
nevertheless write a generic error message.)
There was one special return code that was used to identify the case where
run_command failed because the requested program could not be exec'd. This
special case is now treated like a system call failure with errno set to
ENOENT. No error is reported in this case, because the call site in git.c
expects this as a normal result. Therefore, the callers that carefully
decoded the return value still check for this condition.

run-command: optionally kill children on exit
When we spawn a helper process, it should generally be done
and finish_command called before we exit. However, if we
exit abnormally due to an early return or a signal, the
helper may continue to run in our absence.
In the best case, this may simply be wasted CPU cycles or a
few stray messages on a terminal. But it could also mean a
process that the user thought was aborted continues to run
to completion (e.g., a push's pack-objects helper will
complete the push, even though you killed the push process).
This patch provides infrastructure for run-command to keep
track of PIDs to be killed, and clean them on signal
reception or input, just as we do with tempfiles. PIDs can
be added in two ways:
1. If NO_PTHREADS is defined, async helper processes are
automatically marked. By definition this code must be
ready to die when the parent dies, since it may be
implemented as a thread of the parent process.
2. If the run-command caller specifies the "clean_on_exit"
option. This is not the default, as there are cases
where it is OK for the child to outlive us (e.g., when
spawning a pager).
PIDs are cleared from the kill-list automatically during
wait_or_whine, which is called from finish_command and
finish_async.

pager: don't use unsafe functions in signal handlers
Since the commit a3da8821208d (pager: do wait_for_pager on signal
death), we call wait_for_pager() in the pager's signal handler. The
recent bug report revealed that this causes a deadlock in glibc at
aborting "git log" [*1*]. When this happens, git process is left
unterminated, and it can't be killed by SIGTERM but only by SIGKILL.
The problem is that wait_for_pager() function does more than waiting
for pager process's termination, but it does cleanups and printing
errors. Unfortunately, the functions that may be used in a signal
handler are very limited [*2*]. Particularly, malloc(), free() and the
variants can't be used in a signal handler because they take a mutex
internally in glibc. This was the cause of the deadlock above. Other
than the direct calls of malloc/free, many functions calling
malloc/free can't be used. strerror() is such one, either.
Also the usage of fflush() and printf() in a signal handler is bad,
although it seems working so far. In a safer side, we should avoid
them, too.
This patch tries to reduce the calls of such functions in signal
handlers. wait_for_signal() takes a flag and avoids the unsafe
calls. Also, finish_command_in_signal() is introduced for the
same reason. There the free() calls are removed, and only waits for
the children without whining at errors.

run-command API: remove "argv" member, always use "args"
Remove the "argv" member from the run-command API, ever since "args"
was added in c460c0ecdca (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.

Dying in an async procedure should only exit the thread, not the process.
Async procedures are intended as helpers that perform a very restricted
task, and the caller usually has to manage them in a larger context.
Conceptually, the async procedure is not concerned with the "bigger
picture" in whose context it is run. When it dies, it is not supposed
to destroy this "bigger picture", but rather only its own limit view
of the world. On POSIX, the async procedure is run in its own process,
and exiting this process naturally had only these limited effects.
On Windows (or when ASYNC_AS_THREAD is set), calling die() exited the
whole process, destroying the caller (the "big picture") as well.
This fixes it to exit only the thread.
Without ASYNC_AS_THREAD, one particular effect of exiting the async
procedure process is that it automatically closes file descriptors, most
notably the writable end of the pipe that the async procedure writes to.
The async API already requires that the async procedure closes the pipe
ends when it exits normally. But for calls to die() no requirements are
imposed. In the non-threaded case the pipe ends are closed implicitly
by the exiting process, but in the threaded case, the die routine must
take care of closing them.
Now t5530-upload-pack-error.sh passes on Windows.

run-command: use thread-aware die_is_recursing routine
If we die from an async thread, we do not actually exit the
program, but just kill the thread. This confuses the static
counter in usage.c's default die_is_recursing function; it
updates the counter once for the thread death, and then when
the main program calls die() itself, it erroneously thinks
we are recursing. The end result is that we print "recursion
detected in die handler" instead of the real error in such a
case (the easiest way to trigger this is having a remote
connection hang up while running a sideband demultiplexer).
This patch solves it by using a per-thread counter when the
async_die function is installed; we detect recursion in each
thread (including the main one), but they do not step on
each other's toes.
Other threaded code does not need to worry about this, as
they do not install specialized die handlers; they just let
a die() from a sub-thread take down the whole program.
Since we are overriding the default recursion-check
function, there is an interesting corner case that is not a
problem, but bears some explanation. Imagine the main thread
calls die(), and then in the die_routine starts an async
call. We will switch to using thread-local storage, which
starts at 0, for the main thread's counter, even though
the original counter was actually at 1. That's OK, though,
for two reasons:
1. It would miss only the first level of recursion, and
would still find recursive failures inside the async
helper.
2. We do not currently and are not likely to start doing
anything as heavyweight as starting an async routine
from within a die routine or helper function.

run-command: teach async threads to ignore SIGPIPE
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.

If we die from an async thread, we do not actually exit the
program, but just kill the thread. This confuses the static
counter in usage.c's default die_is_recursing function; it
updates the counter once for the thread death, and then when
the main program calls die() itself, it erroneously thinks
we are recursing. The end result is that we print "recursion
detected in die handler" instead of the real error in such a
case (the easiest way to trigger this is having a remote
connection hang up while running a sideband demultiplexer).
This patch solves it by using a per-thread counter when the
async_die function is installed; we detect recursion in each
thread (including the main one), but they do not step on
each other's toes.
Other threaded code does not need to worry about this, as
they do not install specialized die handlers; they just let
a die() from a sub-thread take down the whole program.
Since we are overriding the default recursion-check
function, there is an interesting corner case that is not a
problem, but bears some explanation. Imagine the main thread
calls die(), and then in the die_routine starts an async
call. We will switch to using thread-local storage, which
starts at 0, for the main thread's counter, even though
the original counter was actually at 1. That's OK, though,
for two reasons:
1. It would miss only the first level of recursion, and
would still find recursive failures inside the async
helper.
2. We do not currently and are not likely to start doing
anything as heavyweight as starting an async routine
from within a die routine or helper function.

write_or_die: handle EPIPE in async threads
When write_or_die() sees EPIPE, it treats it specially by
converting it into a SIGPIPE death. We obviously cannot
ignore it, as the write has failed and the caller expects us
to die. But likewise, we cannot just call die(), because
printing any message at all would be a nuisance during
normal operations.
However, this is a problem if write_or_die() is called from
a thread. Our raised signal ends up killing the whole
process, when logically we just need to kill the thread
(after all, if we are ignoring SIGPIPE, there is good reason
to think that the main thread is expecting to handle it).
Inside an async thread, the die() code already does the
right thing, because we use our custom die_async() routine,
which calls pthread_join(). So ideally we would piggy-back
on that, and simply call:
die_quietly_with_code(141);
or similar. But refactoring the die code to do this is
surprisingly non-trivial. The die_routines themselves handle
both printing and the decision of the exit code. Every one
of them would have to be modified to take new parameters for
the code, and to tell us to be quiet.
Instead, we can just teach write_or_die() to check for the
async case and handle it specially. We do have to build an
interface to abstract the async exit, but it's simple and
self-contained. If we had many call-sites that wanted to do
this die_quietly_with_code(), this approach wouldn't scale
as well, but we don't. This is the only place where do this
weird exit trick.

run-command: optionally kill children on exit
When we spawn a helper process, it should generally be done
and finish_command called before we exit. However, if we
exit abnormally due to an early return or a signal, the
helper may continue to run in our absence.
In the best case, this may simply be wasted CPU cycles or a
few stray messages on a terminal. But it could also mean a
process that the user thought was aborted continues to run
to completion (e.g., a push's pack-objects helper will
complete the push, even though you killed the push process).
This patch provides infrastructure for run-command to keep
track of PIDs to be killed, and clean them on signal
reception or input, just as we do with tempfiles. PIDs can
be added in two ways:
1. If NO_PTHREADS is defined, async helper processes are
automatically marked. By definition this code must be
ready to die when the parent dies, since it may be
implemented as a thread of the parent process.
2. If the run-command caller specifies the "clean_on_exit"
option. This is not the default, as there are cases
where it is OK for the child to outlive us (e.g., when
spawning a pager).
PIDs are cleared from the kill-list automatically during
wait_or_whine, which is called from finish_command and
finish_async.

Dying in an async procedure should only exit the thread, not the process.
Async procedures are intended as helpers that perform a very restricted
task, and the caller usually has to manage them in a larger context.
Conceptually, the async procedure is not concerned with the "bigger
picture" in whose context it is run. When it dies, it is not supposed
to destroy this "bigger picture", but rather only its own limit view
of the world. On POSIX, the async procedure is run in its own process,
and exiting this process naturally had only these limited effects.
On Windows (or when ASYNC_AS_THREAD is set), calling die() exited the
whole process, destroying the caller (the "big picture") as well.
This fixes it to exit only the thread.
Without ASYNC_AS_THREAD, one particular effect of exiting the async
procedure process is that it automatically closes file descriptors, most
notably the writable end of the pipe that the async procedure writes to.
The async API already requires that the async procedure closes the pipe
ends when it exits normally. But for calls to die() no requirements are
imposed. In the non-threaded case the pipe ends are closed implicitly
by the exiting process, but in the threaded case, the die routine must
take care of closing them.
Now t5530-upload-pack-error.sh passes on Windows.

run-command: use thread-aware die_is_recursing routine
If we die from an async thread, we do not actually exit the
program, but just kill the thread. This confuses the static
counter in usage.c's default die_is_recursing function; it
updates the counter once for the thread death, and then when
the main program calls die() itself, it erroneously thinks
we are recursing. The end result is that we print "recursion
detected in die handler" instead of the real error in such a
case (the easiest way to trigger this is having a remote
connection hang up while running a sideband demultiplexer).
This patch solves it by using a per-thread counter when the
async_die function is installed; we detect recursion in each
thread (including the main one), but they do not step on
each other's toes.
Other threaded code does not need to worry about this, as
they do not install specialized die handlers; they just let
a die() from a sub-thread take down the whole program.
Since we are overriding the default recursion-check
function, there is an interesting corner case that is not a
problem, but bears some explanation. Imagine the main thread
calls die(), and then in the die_routine starts an async
call. We will switch to using thread-local storage, which
starts at 0, for the main thread's counter, even though
the original counter was actually at 1. That's OK, though,
for two reasons:
1. It would miss only the first level of recursion, and
would still find recursive failures inside the async
helper.
2. We do not currently and are not likely to start doing
anything as heavyweight as starting an async routine
from within a die routine or helper function.

The async API already requires that the async procedure closes the pipe
ends when it exits normally. But for calls to die() no requirements are
imposed. In the non-threaded case the pipe ends are closed implicitly
by the exiting process, but in the threaded case, the die routine must
take care of closing them.

run-command: use thread-aware die_is_recursing routine
If we die from an async thread, we do not actually exit the
program, but just kill the thread. This confuses the static
counter in usage.c's default die_is_recursing function; it
updates the counter once for the thread death, and then when
the main program calls die() itself, it erroneously thinks
we are recursing. The end result is that we print "recursion
detected in die handler" instead of the real error in such a
case (the easiest way to trigger this is having a remote
connection hang up while running a sideband demultiplexer).
This patch solves it by using a per-thread counter when the
async_die function is installed; we detect recursion in each
thread (including the main one), but they do not step on
each other's toes.
Other threaded code does not need to worry about this, as
they do not install specialized die handlers; they just let
a die() from a sub-thread take down the whole program.
Since we are overriding the default recursion-check
function, there is an interesting corner case that is not a
problem, but bears some explanation. Imagine the main thread
calls die(), and then in the die_routine starts an async
call. We will switch to using thread-local storage, which
starts at 0, for the main thread's counter, even though
the original counter was actually at 1. That's OK, though,
for two reasons:
1. It would miss only the first level of recursion, and
would still find recursive failures inside the async
helper.
2. We do not currently and are not likely to start doing
anything as heavyweight as starting an async routine
from within a die routine or helper function.

Dying in an async procedure should only exit the thread, not the process.
Async procedures are intended as helpers that perform a very restricted
task, and the caller usually has to manage them in a larger context.
Conceptually, the async procedure is not concerned with the "bigger
picture" in whose context it is run. When it dies, it is not supposed
to destroy this "bigger picture", but rather only its own limit view
of the world. On POSIX, the async procedure is run in its own process,
and exiting this process naturally had only these limited effects.
On Windows (or when ASYNC_AS_THREAD is set), calling die() exited the
whole process, destroying the caller (the "big picture") as well.
This fixes it to exit only the thread.
Without ASYNC_AS_THREAD, one particular effect of exiting the async
procedure process is that it automatically closes file descriptors, most
notably the writable end of the pipe that the async procedure writes to.
The async API already requires that the async procedure closes the pipe
ends when it exits normally. But for calls to die() no requirements are
imposed. In the non-threaded case the pipe ends are closed implicitly
by the exiting process, but in the threaded case, the die routine must
take care of closing them.

pipe_command(): avoid xwrite() for writing to pipe
If xwrite() sees an EAGAIN response, it will loop forever until the
write succeeds (or encounters a real error). This is due to ef1cf0167a
(xwrite: poll on non-blocking FDs, 2016-06-26), with the idea that we
won't be surprised by a descriptor unexpectedly set as non-blocking.
But that will make things awkward when we do want a non-blocking
descriptor, and a future patch will switch pipe_command() to using one.
In that case, looping on EAGAIN is bad, because the process on the other
end of the pipe may be waiting on us before doing another read() on the
pipe, which would mean we deadlock.
In practice we're not supposed to ever see EAGAIN here, since poll()
will have just told us the descriptor is ready for writing. But our
Windows emulation of poll() will always return "ready" for writing to a
pipe descriptor! This is due to 94f4d01932 (mingw: workaround for hangs
when sending STDIN, 2020-02-17).
Our best bet in that case is to keep handling other descriptors, as any
read() we do may allow the child command to make forward progress (i.e.,
its write() finishes, and then it read()s from its stdin, freeing up
space in the pipe buffer). This means we might busy-loop between poll()
and write() on Windows if the child command is slow to read our input,
but it's much better than the alternative of deadlocking.
In practice, this busy-looping should be rare:
- for small inputs, we'll just write the whole thing in a single
write() anyway, non-blocking or not
- for larger inputs where the child reads input and then processes it
before writing (e.g., gpg verifying a signature), we may make a few
extra write() calls that get EAGAIN during the initial write, but
once it has taken in the whole input, we'll correctly block waiting
to read back the data.
- for larger inputs where the child process is streaming output back
(like a diff filter), we'll likewise see some extra EAGAINs, but
most of them will be followed immediately by a read(), which will
let the child command make forward progress.
Of course it won't happen at all for now, since we don't yet use a
non-blocking pipe. This is just preparation for when we do.

run-command: introduce capture_command helper
Something as simple as reading the stdout from a command
turns out to be rather hard to do right. Doing:
cmd.out = -1;
run_command(&cmd);
strbuf_read(&buf, cmd.out, 0);
can result in deadlock if the child process produces a large
amount of output. What happens is:
1. The parent spawns the child with its stdout connected
to a pipe, of which the parent is the sole reader.
2. The parent calls wait(), blocking until the child exits.
3. The child writes to stdout. If it writes more data than
the OS pipe buffer can hold, the write() call will
block.
This is a deadlock; the parent is waiting for the child to
exit, and the child is waiting for the parent to call
read().
So we might try instead:
start_command(&cmd);
strbuf_read(&buf, cmd.out, 0);
finish_command(&cmd);
But that is not quite right either. We are examining cmd.out
and running finish_command whether start_command succeeded
or not, which is wrong. Moreover, these snippets do not do
any error handling. If our read() fails, we must make sure
to still call finish_command (to reap the child process).
And both snippets failed to close the cmd.out descriptor,
which they must do (provided start_command succeeded).
Let's introduce a run-command helper that can make this a
bit simpler for callers to get right.

This is a deadlock; the parent is waiting for the child to
exit, and the child is waiting for the parent to call
read().
So we might try instead:
start_command(&cmd);
strbuf_read(&buf, cmd.out, 0);
finish_command(&cmd);
But that is not quite right either. We are examining cmd.out
and running finish_command whether start_command succeeded
or not, which is wrong. Moreover, these snippets do not do
any error handling. If our read() fails, we must make sure
to still call finish_command (to reap the child process).
And both snippets failed to close the cmd.out descriptor,
which they must do (provided start_command succeeded).
Let's introduce a run-command helper that can make this a
bit simpler for callers to get right.

pipe_command(): mark stdin descriptor as non-blocking
Our pipe_command() helper lets you both write to and read from a child
process on its stdin/stdout. It's supposed to work without deadlocks
because we use poll() to check when descriptors are ready for reading or
writing. But there's a bug: if both the data to be written and the data
to be read back exceed the pipe buffer, we'll deadlock.
The issue is that the code assumes that if you have, say, a 2MB buffer
to write and poll() tells you that the pipe descriptor is ready for
writing, that calling:
write(cmd->in, buf, 2*1024*1024);
will do a partial write, filling the pipe buffer and then returning what
it did write. And that is what it would do on a socket, but not for a
pipe. When writing to a pipe, at least on Linux, it will block waiting
for the child process to read() more. And now we have a potential
deadlock, because the child may be writing back to us, waiting for us to
read() ourselves.
An easy way to trigger this is:
git -c add.interactive.useBuiltin=true \
-c interactive.diffFilter=cat \
checkout -p HEAD~200
The diff against HEAD~200 will be big, and the filter wants to write all
of it back to us (obviously this is a dummy filter, but in the real
world something like diff-highlight would similarly stream back a big
output).
If you set add.interactive.useBuiltin to false, the problem goes away,
because now we're not using pipe_command() anymore (instead, that part
happens in perl). But this isn't a bug in the interactive code at all.
It's the underlying pipe_command() code which is broken, and has been
all along.
We presumably didn't notice because most calls only do input _or_
output, not both. And the few that do both, like gpg calls, may have
large inputs or outputs, but never both at the same time (e.g., consider
signing, which has a large payload but a small signature comes back).
The obvious fix is to put the descriptor into non-blocking mode, and
indeed, that makes the problem go away. Callers shouldn't need to
care, because they never see the descriptor (they hand us a buffer to
feed into it).
The included test fails reliably on Linux without this patch. Curiously,
it doesn't fail in our Windows CI environment, but has been reported to
do so for individual developers. It should pass in any environment after
this patch (courtesy of the compat/ layers added in the last few
commits).

run-command: introduce capture_command helper
Something as simple as reading the stdout from a command
turns out to be rather hard to do right. Doing:
cmd.out = -1;
run_command(&cmd);
strbuf_read(&buf, cmd.out, 0);
can result in deadlock if the child process produces a large
amount of output. What happens is:
1. The parent spawns the child with its stdout connected
to a pipe, of which the parent is the sole reader.
2. The parent calls wait(), blocking until the child exits.
3. The child writes to stdout. If it writes more data than
the OS pipe buffer can hold, the write() call will
block.
This is a deadlock; the parent is waiting for the child to
exit, and the child is waiting for the parent to call
read().
So we might try instead:
start_command(&cmd);
strbuf_read(&buf, cmd.out, 0);
finish_command(&cmd);
But that is not quite right either. We are examining cmd.out
and running finish_command whether start_command succeeded
or not, which is wrong. Moreover, these snippets do not do
any error handling. If our read() fails, we must make sure
to still call finish_command (to reap the child process).
And both snippets failed to close the cmd.out descriptor,
which they must do (provided start_command succeeded).

run-command: add an asynchronous parallel child processor
This allows to run external commands in parallel with ordered output
on stderr.
If we run external commands in parallel we cannot pipe the output directly
to the our stdout/err as it would mix up. So each process's output will
flow through a pipe, which we buffer. One subprocess can be directly
piped to out stdout/err for a low latency feedback to the user.
Example:
Let's assume we have 5 submodules A,B,C,D,E and each fetch takes a
different amount of time as the different submodules vary in size, then
the output of fetches in sequential order might look like this:
time -->
output: |---A---| |-B-| |-------C-------| |-D-| |-E-|
When we schedule these submodules into maximal two parallel processes,
a schedule and sample output over time may look like this:
process 1: |---A---| |-D-| |-E-|
process 2: |-B-| |-------C-------|
output: |---A---|B|---C-------|DE
So A will be perceived as it would run normally in the single child
version. As B has finished by the time A is done, we can dump its whole
progress buffer on stderr, such that it looks like it finished in no
time. Once that is done, C is determined to be the visible child and
its progress will be reported in real time.
So this way of output is really good for human consumption, as it only
changes the timing, not the actual output.
For machine consumption the output needs to be prepared in the tasks,
by either having a prefix per line or per block to indicate whose tasks
output is displayed, because the output order may not follow the
original sequential ordering:
|----A----| |--B--| |-C-|
will be scheduled to be all parallel:
process 1: |----A----|
process 2: |--B--|
process 3: |-C-|
output: |----A----|CB
This happens because C finished before B did, so it will be queued for
output before B.
To detect when a child has finished executing, we check interleaved
with other actions (such as checking the liveliness of children or
starting new processes) whether the stderr pipe still exists. Once a
child closed its stderr stream, we assume it is terminating very soon,
and use `finish_command()` from the single external process execution
interface to collect the exit status.
By maintaining the strong assumption of stderr being open until the
very end of a child process, we can avoid other hassle such as an
implementation using `waitpid(-1)`, which is not implemented in Windows.

run-command API: make "n" parameter a "size_t"
Make the "n" variable added in c553c72eed6 (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
d54dea77dba (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 a028a1930c6 (fetching
submodules: respect `submodule.fetchJobs` config option, 2016-02-29).
It now piggy-backs on the the submodule.fetchJobs code and
validation added in f20e7c1ea24 (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 2335b870fa7 (submodule update: expose parallelism
to the user, 2016-02-29).
Since f20e7c1ea24 (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 96e7225b310 (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 be5d88e1128 (test-tool run-command: learn to run (parts

When we schedule these submodules into maximal two parallel processes,
a schedule and sample output over time may look like this:
process 1: |---A---| |-D-| |-E-|
process 2: |-B-| |-------C-------|
output: |---A---|B|---C-------|DE
So A will be perceived as it would run normally in the single child
version. As B has finished by the time A is done, we can dump its whole
progress buffer on stderr, such that it looks like it finished in no
time. Once that is done, C is determined to be the visible child and
its progress will be reported in real time.
So this way of output is really good for human consumption, as it only
changes the timing, not the actual output.
For machine consumption the output needs to be prepared in the tasks,
by either having a prefix per line or per block to indicate whose tasks
output is displayed, because the output order may not follow the
original sequential ordering:
|----A----| |--B--| |-C-|
will be scheduled to be all parallel:
process 1: |----A----|
process 2: |--B--|
process 3: |-C-|
output: |----A----|CB
This happens because C finished before B did, so it will be queued for
output before B.
To detect when a child has finished executing, we check interleaved
with other actions (such as checking the liveliness of children or
starting new processes) whether the stderr pipe still exists. Once a
child closed its stderr stream, we assume it is terminating very soon,
and use `finish_command()` from the single external process execution
interface to collect the exit status.
By maintaining the strong assumption of stderr being open until the
very end of a child process, we can avoid other hassle such as an
implementation using `waitpid(-1)`, which is not implemented in Windows.

run-command: add an asynchronous parallel child processor
This allows to run external commands in parallel with ordered output
on stderr.
If we run external commands in parallel we cannot pipe the output directly
to the our stdout/err as it would mix up. So each process's output will
flow through a pipe, which we buffer. One subprocess can be directly
piped to out stdout/err for a low latency feedback to the user.
Example:
Let's assume we have 5 submodules A,B,C,D,E and each fetch takes a
different amount of time as the different submodules vary in size, then
the output of fetches in sequential order might look like this:
time -->
output: |---A---| |-B-| |-------C-------| |-D-| |-E-|
When we schedule these submodules into maximal two parallel processes,
a schedule and sample output over time may look like this:

run-command API: make "n" parameter a "size_t"
Make the "n" variable added in c553c72eed6 (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
d54dea77dba (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 a028a1930c6 (fetching
submodules: respect `submodule.fetchJobs` config option, 2016-02-29).
It now piggy-backs on the the submodule.fetchJobs code and
validation added in f20e7c1ea24 (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 2335b870fa7 (submodule update: expose parallelism
to the user, 2016-02-29).
Since f20e7c1ea24 (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 96e7225b310 (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 be5d88e1128 (test-tool run-command: learn to run (parts
of) the testsuite, 2019-10-04).

run-command: add an "ungroup" option to run_process_parallel()
Extend the parallel execution API added in c553c72eed6 (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 output of fetches in sequential order might look like this:
time -->
output: |---A---| |-B-| |-------C-------| |-D-| |-E-|
When we schedule these submodules into maximal two parallel processes,
a schedule and sample output over time may look like this:
process 1: |---A---| |-D-| |-E-|
process 2: |-B-| |-------C-------|
output: |---A---|B|---C-------|DE
So A will be perceived as it would run normally in the single child
version. As B has finished by the time A is done, we can dump its whole
progress buffer on stderr, such that it looks like it finished in no
time. Once that is done, C is determined to be the visible child and
its progress will be reported in real time.
So this way of output is really good for human consumption, as it only
changes the timing, not the actual output.
For machine consumption the output needs to be prepared in the tasks,
by either having a prefix per line or per block to indicate whose tasks
output is displayed, because the output order may not follow the
original sequential ordering:
|----A----| |--B--| |-C-|
will be scheduled to be all parallel:
process 1: |----A----|
process 2: |--B--|
process 3: |-C-|
output: |----A----|CB
This happens because C finished before B did, so it will be queued for
output before B.
To detect when a child has finished executing, we check interleaved
with other actions (such as checking the liveliness of children or
starting new processes) whether the stderr pipe still exists. Once a
child closed its stderr stream, we assume it is terminating very soon,
and use `finish_command()` from the single external process execution
interface to collect the exit status.
By maintaining the strong assumption of stderr being open until the
very end of a child process, we can avoid other hassle such as an
implementation using `waitpid(-1)`, which is not implemented in Windows.

run-command API: make "n" parameter a "size_t"
Make the "n" variable added in c553c72eed6 (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
d54dea77dba (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 a028a1930c6 (fetching
submodules: respect `submodule.fetchJobs` config option, 2016-02-29).
It now piggy-backs on the the submodule.fetchJobs code and
validation added in f20e7c1ea24 (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 2335b870fa7 (submodule update: expose parallelism
to the user, 2016-02-29).
Since f20e7c1ea24 (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 96e7225b310 (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 be5d88e1128 (test-tool run-command: learn to run (parts
of) the testsuite, 2019-10-04).

run-command: add an "ungroup" option to run_process_parallel()
Extend the parallel execution API added in c553c72eed6 (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.

run-command: add an asynchronous parallel child processor
This allows to run external commands in parallel with ordered output
on stderr.
If we run external commands in parallel we cannot pipe the output directly
to the our stdout/err as it would mix up. So each process's output will
flow through a pipe, which we buffer. One subprocess can be directly
piped to out stdout/err for a low latency feedback to the user.
Example:
Let's assume we have 5 submodules A,B,C,D,E and each fetch takes a
different amount of time as the different submodules vary in size, then
the output of fetches in sequential order might look like this:
time -->
output: |---A---| |-B-| |-------C-------| |-D-| |-E-|
When we schedule these submodules into maximal two parallel processes,
a schedule and sample output over time may look like this:
process 1: |---A---| |-D-| |-E-|
process 2: |-B-| |-------C-------|
output: |---A---|B|---C-------|DE
So A will be perceived as it would run normally in the single child
version. As B has finished by the time A is done, we can dump its whole
progress buffer on stderr, such that it looks like it finished in no
time. Once that is done, C is determined to be the visible child and
its progress will be reported in real time.
So this way of output is really good for human consumption, as it only
changes the timing, not the actual output.
For machine consumption the output needs to be prepared in the tasks,
by either having a prefix per line or per block to indicate whose tasks
output is displayed, because the output order may not follow the
original sequential ordering:
|----A----| |--B--| |-C-|
will be scheduled to be all parallel:
process 1: |----A----|
process 2: |--B--|
process 3: |-C-|
output: |----A----|CB
This happens because C finished before B did, so it will be queued for
output before B.
To detect when a child has finished executing, we check interleaved
with other actions (such as checking the liveliness of children or
starting new processes) whether the stderr pipe still exists. Once a
child closed its stderr stream, we assume it is terminating very soon,
and use `finish_command()` from the single external process execution
interface to collect the exit status.
By maintaining the strong assumption of stderr being open until the
very end of a child process, we can avoid other hassle such as an
implementation using `waitpid(-1)`, which is not implemented in Windows.

run-command API: make "n" parameter a "size_t"
Make the "n" variable added in c553c72eed6 (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
d54dea77dba (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 a028a1930c6 (fetching
submodules: respect `submodule.fetchJobs` config option, 2016-02-29).
It now piggy-backs on the the submodule.fetchJobs code and
validation added in f20e7c1ea24 (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 2335b870fa7 (submodule update: expose parallelism
to the user, 2016-02-29).
Since f20e7c1ea24 (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 96e7225b310 (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 be5d88e1128 (test-tool run-command: learn to run (parts
of) the testsuite, 2019-10-04).

run-command: add an "ungroup" option to run_process_parallel()
Extend the parallel execution API added in c553c72eed6 (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.

"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.

run-command: add an asynchronous parallel child processor
This allows to run external commands in parallel with ordered output
on stderr.
If we run external commands in parallel we cannot pipe the output directly
to the our stdout/err as it would mix up. So each process's output will
flow through a pipe, which we buffer. One subprocess can be directly
piped to out stdout/err for a low latency feedback to the user.
Example:
Let's assume we have 5 submodules A,B,C,D,E and each fetch takes a
different amount of time as the different submodules vary in size, then
the output of fetches in sequential order might look like this:
time -->
output: |---A---| |-B-| |-------C-------| |-D-| |-E-|
When we schedule these submodules into maximal two parallel processes,
a schedule and sample output over time may look like this:
process 1: |---A---| |-D-| |-E-|
process 2: |-B-| |-------C-------|
output: |---A---|B|---C-------|DE
So A will be perceived as it would run normally in the single child
version. As B has finished by the time A is done, we can dump its whole
progress buffer on stderr, such that it looks like it finished in no
time. Once that is done, C is determined to be the visible child and
its progress will be reported in real time.
So this way of output is really good for human consumption, as it only
changes the timing, not the actual output.
For machine consumption the output needs to be prepared in the tasks,
by either having a prefix per line or per block to indicate whose tasks
output is displayed, because the output order may not follow the
original sequential ordering:
|----A----| |--B--| |-C-|
will be scheduled to be all parallel:
process 1: |----A----|
process 2: |--B--|
process 3: |-C-|
output: |----A----|CB
This happens because C finished before B did, so it will be queued for
output before B.
To detect when a child has finished executing, we check interleaved
with other actions (such as checking the liveliness of children or
starting new processes) whether the stderr pipe still exists. Once a
child closed its stderr stream, we assume it is terminating very soon,
and use `finish_command()` from the single external process execution
interface to collect the exit status.
By maintaining the strong assumption of stderr being open until the
very end of a child process, we can avoid other hassle such as an
implementation using `waitpid(-1)`, which is not implemented in Windows.

run-command: add an "ungroup" option to run_process_parallel()
Extend the parallel execution API added in c553c72eed6 (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.

run-command: add an asynchronous parallel child processor
This allows to run external commands in parallel with ordered output
on stderr.
If we run external commands in parallel we cannot pipe the output directly
to the our stdout/err as it would mix up. So each process's output will
flow through a pipe, which we buffer. One subprocess can be directly
piped to out stdout/err for a low latency feedback to the user.
Example:
Let's assume we have 5 submodules A,B,C,D,E and each fetch takes a
different amount of time as the different submodules vary in size, then
the output of fetches in sequential order might look like this:
time -->
output: |---A---| |-B-| |-------C-------| |-D-| |-E-|
When we schedule these submodules into maximal two parallel processes,
a schedule and sample output over time may look like this:
process 1: |---A---| |-D-| |-E-|
process 2: |-B-| |-------C-------|
output: |---A---|B|---C-------|DE
So A will be perceived as it would run normally in the single child
version. As B has finished by the time A is done, we can dump its whole
progress buffer on stderr, such that it looks like it finished in no
time. Once that is done, C is determined to be the visible child and
its progress will be reported in real time.
So this way of output is really good for human consumption, as it only
changes the timing, not the actual output.
For machine consumption the output needs to be prepared in the tasks,
by either having a prefix per line or per block to indicate whose tasks
output is displayed, because the output order may not follow the
original sequential ordering:
|----A----| |--B--| |-C-|
will be scheduled to be all parallel:
process 1: |----A----|
process 2: |--B--|
process 3: |-C-|
output: |----A----|CB
This happens because C finished before B did, so it will be queued for
output before B.
To detect when a child has finished executing, we check interleaved
with other actions (such as checking the liveliness of children or
starting new processes) whether the stderr pipe still exists. Once a
child closed its stderr stream, we assume it is terminating very soon,
and use `finish_command()` from the single external process execution
interface to collect the exit status.
By maintaining the strong assumption of stderr being open until the
very end of a child process, we can avoid other hassle such as an
implementation using `waitpid(-1)`, which is not implemented in Windows.

run-command API: make "n" parameter a "size_t"
Make the "n" variable added in c553c72eed6 (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
d54dea77dba (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 a028a1930c6 (fetching
submodules: respect `submodule.fetchJobs` config option, 2016-02-29).
It now piggy-backs on the the submodule.fetchJobs code and
validation added in f20e7c1ea24 (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 2335b870fa7 (submodule update: expose parallelism
to the user, 2016-02-29).
Since f20e7c1ea24 (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 96e7225b310 (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 be5d88e1128 (test-tool run-command: learn to run (parts
of) the testsuite, 2019-10-04).

run-command: add an "ungroup" option to run_process_parallel()
Extend the parallel execution API added in c553c72eed6 (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.

To detect when a child has finished executing, we check interleaved
with other actions (such as checking the liveliness of children or
starting new processes) whether the stderr pipe still exists. Once a
child closed its stderr stream, we assume it is terminating very soon,
and use `finish_command()` from the single external process execution
interface to collect the exit status.
By maintaining the strong assumption of stderr being open until the
very end of a child process, we can avoid other hassle such as an
implementation using `waitpid(-1)`, which is not implemented in Windows.

run-command: add an asynchronous parallel child processor
This allows to run external commands in parallel with ordered output
on stderr.
If we run external commands in parallel we cannot pipe the output directly
to the our stdout/err as it would mix up. So each process's output will
flow through a pipe, which we buffer. One subprocess can be directly
piped to out stdout/err for a low latency feedback to the user.
Example:
Let's assume we have 5 submodules A,B,C,D,E and each fetch takes a
different amount of time as the different submodules vary in size, then
the output of fetches in sequential order might look like this:
time -->
output: |---A---| |-B-| |-------C-------| |-D-| |-E-|
When we schedule these submodules into maximal two parallel processes,
a schedule and sample output over time may look like this:
process 1: |---A---| |-D-| |-E-|
process 2: |-B-| |-------C-------|
output: |---A---|B|---C-------|DE
So A will be perceived as it would run normally in the single child
version. As B has finished by the time A is done, we can dump its whole
progress buffer on stderr, such that it looks like it finished in no
time. Once that is done, C is determined to be the visible child and
its progress will be reported in real time.
So this way of output is really good for human consumption, as it only
changes the timing, not the actual output.
For machine consumption the output needs to be prepared in the tasks,
by either having a prefix per line or per block to indicate whose tasks
output is displayed, because the output order may not follow the
original sequential ordering:
|----A----| |--B--| |-C-|
will be scheduled to be all parallel:
process 1: |----A----|
process 2: |--B--|
process 3: |-C-|
output: |----A----|CB
This happens because C finished before B did, so it will be queued for
output before B.

run-command: add an "ungroup" option to run_process_parallel()
Extend the parallel execution API added in c553c72eed6 (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.

to the our stdout/err as it would mix up. So each process's output will
flow through a pipe, which we buffer. One subprocess can be directly
piped to out stdout/err for a low latency feedback to the user.
Example:
Let's assume we have 5 submodules A,B,C,D,E and each fetch takes a
different amount of time as the different submodules vary in size, then
the output of fetches in sequential order might look like this:
time -->
output: |---A---| |-B-| |-------C-------| |-D-| |-E-|
When we schedule these submodules into maximal two parallel processes,
a schedule and sample output over time may look like this:
process 1: |---A---| |-D-| |-E-|
process 2: |-B-| |-------C-------|
output: |---A---|B|---C-------|DE
So A will be perceived as it would run normally in the single child
version. As B has finished by the time A is done, we can dump its whole
progress buffer on stderr, such that it looks like it finished in no
time. Once that is done, C is determined to be the visible child and
its progress will be reported in real time.
So this way of output is really good for human consumption, as it only
changes the timing, not the actual output.
For machine consumption the output needs to be prepared in the tasks,
by either having a prefix per line or per block to indicate whose tasks
output is displayed, because the output order may not follow the
original sequential ordering:
|----A----| |--B--| |-C-|
will be scheduled to be all parallel:
process 1: |----A----|
process 2: |--B--|
process 3: |-C-|
output: |----A----|CB
This happens because C finished before B did, so it will be queued for
output before B.
To detect when a child has finished executing, we check interleaved
with other actions (such as checking the liveliness of children or
starting new processes) whether the stderr pipe still exists. Once a
child closed its stderr stream, we assume it is terminating very soon,
and use `finish_command()` from the single external process execution
interface to collect the exit status.
By maintaining the strong assumption of stderr being open until the
very end of a child process, we can avoid other hassle such as an
implementation using `waitpid(-1)`, which is not implemented in Windows.

run-command: add an "ungroup" option to run_process_parallel()
Extend the parallel execution API added in c553c72eed6 (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.

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.

run-command: add an "ungroup" option to run_process_parallel()
Extend the parallel execution API added in c553c72eed6 (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 '

run-command: add an asynchronous parallel child processor
This allows to run external commands in parallel with ordered output
on stderr.
If we run external commands in parallel we cannot pipe the output directly
to the our stdout/err as it would mix up. So each process's output will
flow through a pipe, which we buffer. One subprocess can be directly
piped to out stdout/err for a low latency feedback to the user.
Example:
Let's assume we have 5 submodules A,B,C,D,E and each fetch takes a
different amount of time as the different submodules vary in size, then
the output of fetches in sequential order might look like this:
time -->
output: |---A---| |-B-| |-------C-------| |-D-| |-E-|
When we schedule these submodules into maximal two parallel processes,
a schedule and sample output over time may look like this:
process 1: |---A---| |-D-| |-E-|
process 2: |-B-| |-------C-------|
output: |---A---|B|---C-------|DE
So A will be perceived as it would run normally in the single child
version. As B has finished by the time A is done, we can dump its whole
progress buffer on stderr, such that it looks like it finished in no
time. Once that is done, C is determined to be the visible child and
its progress will be reported in real time.
So this way of output is really good for human consumption, as it only
changes the timing, not the actual output.
For machine consumption the output needs to be prepared in the tasks,
by either having a prefix per line or per block to indicate whose tasks
output is displayed, because the output order may not follow the
original sequential ordering:
|----A----| |--B--| |-C-|
will be scheduled to be all parallel:
process 1: |----A----|
process 2: |--B--|
process 3: |-C-|
output: |----A----|CB
This happens because C finished before B did, so it will be queued for
output before B.
To detect when a child has finished executing, we check interleaved
with other actions (such as checking the liveliness of children or
starting new processes) whether the stderr pipe still exists. Once a
child closed its stderr stream, we assume it is terminating very soon,
and use `finish_command()` from the single external process execution
interface to collect the exit status.
By maintaining the strong assumption of stderr being open until the
very end of a child process, we can avoid other hassle such as an
implementation using `waitpid(-1)`, which is not implemented in Windows.

auto-gc: extract a reusable helper from "git fetch"
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.
