6e5ba0bae4 run-command API: have run_process_parallel() take an "opts" struct
As noted in fd3aaf53f7 (run-command: add an "ungroup" option to
run_process_parallel(), 2022-06-07) which added the "ungroup" passing
it to "run_process_parallel()" via the global
"run_processes_parallel_ungroup" variable was a compromise to get the
smallest possible regression fix for "maint" at the time.

This follow-up to that is a start at passing that parameter and others
via a new "struct run_process_parallel_opts", as the earlier
version[1] of what became fd3aaf53f7 did.

Since we need to change all of the occurrences of "n" to
"opt->SOMETHING" let's take the opportunity and rename the terse "n"
to "processes". We could also have picked "max_processes", "jobs",
"threads" etc., but as the API is named "run_processes_parallel()"
let's go with "processes".

Since the new "run_processes_parallel()" function is able to take an
optional "tr2_category" and "tr2_label" via the struct we can at this
point migrate all of the users of "run_processes_parallel_tr2()" over
to it.

But let's not migrate all the API users yet, only the two users that
passed the "ungroup" parameter via the
"run_processes_parallel_ungroup" global

910e2b372f run-command tests: use "return", not "exit"
Change the "run-command" test helper to "return" instead of calling
"exit", see 338abb0f04 (builtins + test helpers: use return instead
of exit() in cmd_*, 2021-06-08)

Because we'd previously gotten past the SANITIZE=leak check by using
exit() here we need to move to "goto cleanup" pattern.

7dd5762d9f run-command API: have "run_processes_parallel{,_tr2}()" return void
Change the "run_processes_parallel{,_tr2}()" functions to return void,
instead of int. Ever since c553c72eed (run-command: add an
asynchronous parallel child processor, 2015-12-15) they have
unconditionally returned 0.

To get a "real" return value out of this function the caller needs to
get it via the "task_finished_fn" callback, see the example in hook.c
added in 96e7225b31 (hook: add 'run' subcommand, 2021-12-22).

So the "result = " and "if (!result)" code added to "builtin/fetch.c"
d54dea77db (fetch: let --jobs=<n> parallelize --multiple, too,
2019-10-05) has always been redundant, we always took that "if"
path. Likewise the "ret =" in "t/helper/test-run-command.c" added in
be5d88e112 (test-tool run-command: learn to run (parts of) the
testsuite, 2019-10-04) wasn't used, instead we got the return value
from the "if (suite.failed.nr > 0)" block seen in the context.

Subsequent commits will alter this API interface, getting rid of this
always-zero return value makes it easier to understand those changes.

1a7f6be5b1 Merge branch 'ab/hooks-regression-fix'
In Git 2.36 we revamped the way how hooks are invoked.  One change
that is end-user visible is that the output of a hook is no longer
directly connected to the standard output of "git" that spawns the
hook, which was noticed post release.  This is getting corrected.

fd3aaf53f7 run-command: add an "ungroup" option to run_process_parallel()
Extend the parallel execution API added in c553c72eed (run-command:
add an asynchronous parallel child processor, 2015-12-15) to support a
mode where the stdout and stderr of the processes isn't captured and
output in a deterministic order, instead we'll leave it to the kernel
and stdio to sort it out.

This gives the API same functionality as GNU parallel's --ungroup
option. As we'll see in a subsequent commit the main reason to want
this is to support stdout and stderr being connected to the TTY in the
case of jobs=1, demonstrated here with GNU parallel:

	$ parallel --ungroup 'test -t {} && echo TTY || echo NTTY' ::: 1 2
	TTY
	TTY
	$ parallel 'test -t {} && echo TTY || echo NTTY' ::: 1 2
	NTTY
	NTTY

Another is as GNU parallel's documentation notes a potential for
optimization. As demonstrated in next commit our results with "git
hook run" will be similar, but generally speaking this shows that if
you want to run processes in parallel where the exact order isn't
important this can be a lot faster:

	$ hyperfine -r 3 -L o ,--ungroup 'parallel {o} seq ::: 10000000 >/dev/null '
	Benchmark 1: parallel  seq ::: 10000000 >/dev/null
	  Time (mean ± σ):     220.2 ms ±   9.3 ms    [User: 124.9 ms, System: 96.1 ms]
	  Range (min … max):   212.3 ms … 230.5 ms    3 runs

	Benchmark 2: parallel --ungroup seq ::: 10000000 >/dev/null
	  Time (mean ± σ):     154.7 ms ±   0.9 ms    [User: 136.2 ms, System: 25.1 ms]
	  Range (min … max):   153.9 ms … 155.7 ms    3 runs

	Summary
	  'parallel --ungroup seq ::: 10000000 >/dev/null ' ran
	    1.42 ± 0.06 times faster than 'parallel  seq ::: 10000000 >/dev/null '

A large part of the juggling in the API is to make the API safer for
its maintenance and consumers alike.

For the maintenance of the API we e.g. avoid malloc()-ing the
"pp->pfd", ensuring that SANITIZE=address and other similar tools will
catch any unexpected misuse.

For API consumers we take pains to never pass the non-NULL "out"
buffer to an API user that provided the "ungroup" option. The
resulting code in t/helper/test-run-command.c isn't typical of such a
user, i.e. they'd typically use one mode or the other, and would know
whether they'd provided "ungroup" or not.

We could also avoid the strbuf_init() for "buffered_output" by having
"struct parallel_processes" use a static PARALLEL_PROCESSES_INIT
initializer, but let's leave that cleanup for later.

Using a global "run_processes_parallel_ungroup" variable to enable
this option is rather nasty, but is being done here to produce as
minimal of a change as possible for a subsequent regression fix. This
change is extracted from a larger initial version[1] which ends up
with a better end-state for the API, but in doing so needed to modify
all existing callers of the API. Let's defer that for now, and
narrowly focus on what we need for fixing the regression in the
subsequent commit.

It's safe to do this with a global variable because:

 A) hook.c is the only user of it that sets it to non-zero, and before
    we'll get any other API users we'll refactor away this method of
    passing in the option, i.e. re-roll [1].

 B) Even if hook.c wasn't the only user we don't have callers of this
    API that concurrently invoke this parallel process starting API
    itself in parallel.

As noted above "A" && "B" are rather nasty, and we don't want to live
with those caveats long-term, but for now they should be an acceptable
compromise.

29fda24dd1 run-command API: rename "env_array" to "env"
Start following-up on the rename mentioned in c7c4bdeccf (run-command
API: remove "env" member, always use "env_array", 2021-11-25) of
"env_array" to "env".

The "env_array" name was picked in 19a583dc39 (run-command: add
env_array, an optional argv_array for env, 2014-10-19) because "env"
was taken. Let's not forever keep the oddity of "*_array" for this
"struct strvec", but not for its "args" sibling.

This commit is almost entirely made with a coccinelle rule[1]. The
only manual change here is in run-command.h to rename the struct
member itself and to change "env_array" to "env" in the
CHILD_PROCESS_INIT initializer.

The rest of this is all a result of applying [1]:

 * make contrib/coccinelle/run_command.cocci.patch
 * patch -p1 <contrib/coccinelle/run_command.cocci.patch
 * git add -u

1. cat contrib/coccinelle/run_command.pending.cocci

   @@
   - E.env_array
   + E.env

   @@
   struct child_process *E;
   @@
   - E->env_array
   + E->env

I've avoided changing any comments and derived variable names here,
that will all be done in the next commit.

99d60545f8 string-list API: change "nr" and "alloc" to "size_t"
Change the "nr" and "alloc" members of "struct string_list" to use
"size_t" instead of "nr". On some platforms the size of an "unsigned
int" will be smaller than a "size_t", e.g. a 32 bit unsigned v.s. 64
bit unsigned. As "struct string_list" is a generic API we use in a lot
of places this might cause overflows.

As one example: code in "refs.c" keeps track of the number of refs
with a "size_t", and auxiliary code in builtin/remote.c in
get_ref_states() appends those to a "struct string_list".

While we're at it split the "nr" and "alloc" in string-list.h across
two lines, which is the case for most such struct member
declarations (e.g. in "strbuf.h" and "strvec.h").

Changing e.g. "int i" to "size_t i" in run_and_feed_hook() isn't
strictly necessary, and there are a lot more cases where we'll use a
local "int", "unsigned int" etc. variable derived from the "nr" in the
"struct string_list". But in that case as well as
add_wrapped_shortlog_msg() in builtin/shortlog.c we need to adjust the
printf format referring to "nr" anyway, so let's also change the other
variables referring to it.

f69a6e4f07 *.h: move some *_INIT to designated initializers
Move various *_INIT macros to use designated initializers. This helps
readability. I've only picked those leftover macros that were not
touched by another in-flight series of mine which changed others, but
also how initialization was done.

In the case of SUBMODULE_ALTERNATE_SETUP_INIT I've left an explicit
initialization of "error_mode", even though
SUBMODULE_ALTERNATE_ERROR_IGNORE itself is defined as "0". Let's not
peek under the hood and assume that enum fields we know the value of
will stay at "0".

The change to "TESTSUITE_INIT" in "t/helper/test-run-command.c" was
part of an earlier on-list version[1] of c90be786da (test-tool
run-command: fix flip-flop init pattern, 2021-09-11).

Change the initialization of "struct strbuf" changed in
cbc0f81d96 (strbuf: use designated initializers in STRBUF_INIT,
2017-07-10) to omit specifying "alloc" and "len", as we do with other
"alloc" and "len" (or "nr") in similar structs.

Let's likewise omit the explicit initialization of all fields in the
"struct ipc_client_connect_option" struct added in
59c7b88198 (simple-ipc: add win32 implementation, 2021-03-15).

Do the same for a few other initializers, e.g. STRVEC_INIT and
CACHE_DEF_INIT.

Finally, start incrementally changing the same pattern in
"t/helper/test-run-command.c". This change was part of an earlier
on-list version[1] of c90be786da (test-tool run-command: fix
flip-flop init pattern, 2021-09-11).

c90be786da test-tool run-command: fix flip-flop init pattern
In be5d88e112 (test-tool run-command: learn to run (parts of) the
testsuite, 2019-10-04) an init pattern was added that would use
TESTSUITE_INIT, but then promptly memset() everything back to 0. We'd
then set the "dup" on the two string lists.

Our setting of "next" to "-1" thus did nothing, we'd reset it to "0"
before using it. Let's set it to "0" instead, and trust the
"STRING_LIST_INIT_DUP" to set "strdup_strings" appropriately for us.

Note that while we compile this code, there's no in-tree user for the
"testsuite" target being modified here anymore, see the discussion at
and around <nycvar.QRO.7.76.6.2109091323150.59@tvgsbejvaqbjf.bet>[1].

d70a9eb611 strvec: rename struct fields
The "argc" and "argv" names made sense when the struct was argv_array,
but now they're just confusing. Let's rename them to "nr" (which we use
for counts elsewhere) and "v" (which is rather terse, but reads well
when combined with typical variable names like "args.v").

Note that we have to update all of the callers immediately. Playing
tricks with the preprocessor is hard here, because we wouldn't want to
rewrite unrelated tokens.

f6d8942b1f strvec: fix indentation in renamed calls
Code which split an argv_array call across multiple lines, like:

  argv_array_pushl(&args, "one argument",
                   "another argument", "and more",
		   NULL);

was recently mechanically renamed to use strvec, which results in
mis-matched indentation like:

  strvec_pushl(&args, "one argument",
                   "another argument", "and more",
		   NULL);

Let's fix these up to align the arguments with the opening paren. I did
this manually by sifting through the results of:

  git jump grep 'strvec_.*,$'

and liberally applying my editor's auto-format. Most of the changes are
of the form shown above, though I also normalized a few that had
originally used a single-tab indentation (rather than our usual style of
aligning with the open paren). I also rewrapped a couple of obvious
cases (e.g., where previously too-long lines became short enough to fit
on one), but I wasn't aggressive about it. In cases broken to three or
more lines, the grouping of arguments is sometimes meaningful, and it
wasn't worth my time or reviewer time to ponder each case individually.

c972bf4cf5 strvec: convert remaining callers away from argv_array name
We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec
consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once,
or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits.
Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable
to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different
names is OK).

This patch converts all of the remaining files, as the resulting diff is
reasonably sized.

The conversion was done purely mechanically with:

  git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' |
  xargs perl -i -pe '
    s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g;
    s/argv_array/strvec/g;
  '

It is unfortunate that we need to quote arguments differently on
Windows, depending whether we build a command-line for MSYS2's `sh` or
for other Windows executables.

We already have a test helper to verify the latter, with this patch we
can also verify the former.

7530a6287e quote-stress-test: allow skipping some trials
When the, say, 93rd trial run fails, it is a good idea to have a way to
skip the first 92 trials and dig directly into the 93rd in a debugger.

55953c77c0 quote-stress-test: accept arguments to test via the command-line
When the stress test reported a problem with quoting certain arguments,
it is helpful to have a facility to play with those arguments in order
to find out whether variations of those arguments are affected, too.

Let's allow `test-run-command quote-stress-test -- <args>` to be used
for that purpose.

ad15592529 tests: add a helper to stress test argument quoting
On Windows, we have to do all the command-line argument quoting
ourselves. Worse: we have to have two versions of said quoting, one for
MSYS2 programs (which have their own dequoting rules) and the rest.

We care mostly about the rest, and to make sure that that works, let's
have a stress test that comes up with all kinds of awkward arguments,
verifying that a spawned sub-process receives those unharmed.

eea4a7f4b3 mingw: demonstrate that all file handles are inherited by child processes
When spawning child processes, we really should be careful which file
handles we let them inherit.

This is doubly important on Windows, where we cannot rename, delete, or
modify files if there is still a file handle open.

be5d88e112 test-tool run-command: learn to run (parts of) the testsuite
Git for Windows jumps through hoops to provide a development environment
that allows to build Git and to run its test suite. To that end, an
entire MSYS2 system, including GNU make and GCC is offered as "the Git
for Windows SDK". It does come at a price: an initial download of said
SDK weighs in with several hundreds of megabytes, and the unpacked SDK
occupies ~2GB of disk space.

A much more native development environment on Windows is Visual Studio.
To help contributors use that environment, we already have a Makefile
target `vcxproj` that generates a commit with project files (and other
generated files), and Git for Windows' `vs/master` branch is
continuously re-generated using that target.

The idea is to allow building Git in Visual Studio, and to run
individual tests using a Portable Git.

The one missing thing is a way to run the entire test suite: neither
`make` nor `prove` are required to run Git, therefore Git for Windows
does not support those commands in the Portable Git.

To help with that, add a simple test helper that exercises the
`run_processes_parallel()` function to allow for running test scripts in
parallel (which is really necessary, especially on Windows, as Git's
test suite takes such a long time to run).

This will also come in handy for the upcoming change to our Azure
Pipeline: we will use this helper in a Portable Git to test the Visual
Studio build of Git.

c61a975df1 run-command.c: print env vars in trace_run_command()
Occasionally submodule code could execute new commands with GIT_DIR set
to some submodule. GIT_TRACE prints just the command line which makes it
hard to tell that it's not really executed on this repository.

Print the env delta (compared to parent environment) in this case.

02962d3684 use strbuf_addstr() for adding constant strings to a strbuf
Replace uses of strbuf_addf() for adding strings with more lightweight
strbuf_addstr() calls.

In http-push.c it becomes easier to see what's going on without having
to verfiy that the definition of PROPFIND_ALL_REQUEST doesn't contain
any format specifiers.
