Run our test scripts with MALLOC_CHECK_ and MALLOC_PERTURB_, the
built-in memory access checking facility GNU libc has.
* ep/malloc-check-perturb:
MALLOC_CHECK: various clean-ups
Add MALLOC_CHECK_ and MALLOC_PERTURB_ libc env to the test suite for detecting heap corruption
The most important in this change is to avoid affecting anything
when test-lib is used from perf-lib. It also limits the effect of
the MALLOC_CHECK only to what is run inside the actual test, and
uses a fixed MALLOC_PERTURB_ in order to avoid hurting repeatability
of the tests.

The seq command is GNU-ism, and is missing at least in older BSD
releases and their derivatives, not to mention antique

We already purged it in b3431bc (Don't use seq in tests, not
everyone has it, 2007-05-02), but a few new instances have crept
in. They went unnoticed because they are in scripts that are not
run by default.
Replace them with test_seq that is implemented with a Perl snippet
(proposed by Jeff). This is better than inlining this snippet
everywhere it's needed because it's easier to read and it's easier
to change the implementation (e.g. to C) if we ever decide to remove
Perl from the test suite.
Note that test_seq is not a complete replacement for seq(1). It
just has what we need now, in addition that it makes it possible for
us to do something like "test_seq a m" if we wanted to in the
future.
There are also many places that do `for i in 1 2 3 ...` but I'm not sure
if it's worth converting them to test_seq. That would introduce running
more processes of Perl.

Enables threading in index-pack to resolve base data in parallel.
By Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (3) and Ramsay Jones (1)
* nd/threaded-index-pack:
index-pack: disable threading if NO_PREAD is defined
index-pack: support multithreaded delta resolving
index-pack: restructure pack processing into three main functions
compat/win32/pthread.h: Add an pthread_key_delete() implementation
This puts delta resolving on each base on a separate thread, one base
cache per thread. Per-thread data is grouped in struct thread_local.
When running with nr_threads == 1, no pthreads calls are made. The
system essentially runs in non-thread mode.
An experiment on a Xeon 24 core machine with git.git shows that
performance does not increase proportional to the number of cores. So
by default, we use maximum 3 cores. Some numbers with --threads from 1

The only bug right now is that $GIT_TEST_CMP is needed for test_cmp to
work.
However, we also export the three most important paths for tests:
TEST_DIRECTORY
TRASH_DIRECTORY
GIT_BUILD_DIR
Since they are available within test_expect_success, a future test
writer may expect them to also be defined in test_perf.

8c912ee (teach --histogram to diff, 2011-07-12) claimed histogram diff
was faster than both Myers and patience.
We have since incorporated a performance testing framework, so add a
test that compares the various diff tasks performed in a real 'log -p'
workload. This does indeed show that histogram diff slightly beats
Myers, while patience is much slower than the others.

This introduces a performance testing framework under t/perf/. It
tries to be as close to the test-lib.sh infrastructure as possible,
and thus should be easy to get used to for git developers.
The following points were considered for the implementation:
1. You usually want to compare arbitrary revisions/build trees against
each other. They may not have the performance test under
consideration, or even the perf-lib.sh infrastructure.
To cope with this, the 'run' script lets you specify arbitrary
build dirs and revisions. It even automatically builds the revisions
if it doesn't have them at hand yet.
2. Usually you would not want to run all tests. It would take too
long anyway. The 'run' script lets you specify which tests to run;
or you can also do it manually. There is a Makefile for
discoverability and 'make clean', but it is not meant for
real-world use.
3. Creating test repos from scratch in every test is extremely
time-consuming, and shipping or downloading such large/weird repos
is out of the question.
We leave this decision to the user. Two different sizes of test
repos can be configured, and the scripts just copy one or more of
those (using hardlinks for the object store). By default it tries
to use the build tree's git.git repository.
This is fairly fast and versatile. Using a copy instead of a clone
preserves many properties that the user may want to test for, such
as lots of loose objects, unpacked refs, etc.
