86e254584b mingw/msvc: use the new-style RUNTIME_PREFIX helper
This change also allows us to stop overriding argv[0] with the absolute
path of the executable, allowing us to preserve e.g. the case of the
executable's file name.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1496 partially.

226c0ddd0d exec_cmd: RUNTIME_PREFIX on some POSIX systems
Enable Git to resolve its own binary location using a variety of
OS-specific and generic methods, including:

- procfs via "/proc/self/exe" (Linux)
- _NSGetExecutablePath (Darwin)
- KERN_PROC_PATHNAME sysctl on BSDs.
- argv0, if absolute (all, including Windows).

This is used to enable RUNTIME_PREFIX support for non-Windows systems,
notably Linux and Darwin. When configured with RUNTIME_PREFIX, Git will
do a best-effort resolution of its executable path and automatically use
this as its "exec_path" for relative helper and data lookups, unless
explicitly overridden.

Small incidental formatting cleanup of "exec_cmd.c".

6bc8606be3 config.mak.uname: remove SPARSE_FLAGS setting for cygwin
Since commit f66450ae9 ("cygwin: Remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation",
2013-06-22), the cygwin build has not used the WIN32 API/header files.
This means that the '-isystem /usr/include/w32api' option to sparse is
no longer necessary (to allow sparse to find the WIN32 header files).
In addition, the '-Wno-one-bit-signed-bitfield' option can be removed,
since the warning suppressed by that option was only provoked by a WIN32
header file.

5b633610ec packed_ref_cache: keep the packed-refs file mmapped if possible
Keep a copy of the `packed-refs` file contents in memory for as long
as a `packed_ref_cache` object is in use:

* If the system allows it, keep the `packed-refs` file mmapped.

* If not (either because the system doesn't support `mmap()` at all,
  or because a file that is currently mmapped cannot be replaced via
  `rename()`), then make a copy of the file's contents in
  heap-allocated space, and keep that around instead.

We base the choice of behavior on a new build-time switch,
`MMAP_PREVENTS_DELETE`. By default, this switch is set for Windows
variants.

After this commit, `MMAP_NONE` and `MMAP_TEMPORARY` are still handled
identically. But the next commit will introduce a difference.

This whole change is still pointless, because we only read the
`packed-refs` file contents immediately after instantiating the
`packed_ref_cache`. But that will soon change.

33400c0e96 Merge branch 'tb/push-to-cygwin-unc-path'
On Cygwin, similar to Windows, "git push //server/share/repository"
ought to mean a repository on a network share that can be accessed
locally, but this did not work correctly due to stripping the double
slashes at the beginning.

This may need to be heavily tested before it gets unleashed to the
wild, as the change is at a fairly low-level code and would affect
not just the code to decide if the push destination is local.  There
may be unexpected fallouts in the path normalization.

496f256989 cygwin: allow pushing to UNC paths
cygwin can use an UNC path like //server/share/repo

 $ cd //server/share/dir
 $ mkdir test
 $ cd test
 $ git init --bare

 However, when we try to push from a local Git repository to this repo,
 there is a problem: Git converts the leading "//" into a single "/".

 As cygwin handles an UNC path so well, Git can support them better:

 - Introduce cygwin_offset_1st_component() which keeps the leading "//",
   similar to what Git for Windows does.

 - Move CYGWIN out of the POSIX in the tests for path normalization in t0060

fb95e2e38d grep: un-break building with PCRE >= 8.32 without --enable-jit
Amend my change earlier in this series ("grep: add support for the
PCRE v1 JIT API", 2017-04-11) to un-break the build on PCRE v1
versions later than 8.31 compiled without --enable-jit.

As explained in that change and a later compatibility change in this
series ("grep: un-break building with PCRE < 8.32", 2017-05-10) the
pcre_jit_exec() function is a faster path to execute the JIT.

Unfortunately there's no compatibility stub for that function compiled
into the library if pcre_config(PCRE_CONFIG_JIT, &ret) would return 0,
and no macro that can be used to check for it, so the only portable
option to support builds without --enable-jit is via a new
NO_LIBPCRE1_JIT=UnfortunatelyYes Makefile option[1].

Another option would be to make the JIT opt-in via
USE_LIBPCRE1_JIT=YesPlease, after all it's not a default option of
PCRE v1.

I think it makes more sense to make it opt-out since even though it's
not a default option, most packagers of PCRE seem to turn it on by
default, with the notable exception of the MinGW package.

Make the MinGW platform work by default by changing the build defaults
to turn on NO_LIBPCRE1_JIT=UnfortunatelyYes. It is the only platform
that turns on USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease by default, see commit
df5218b4c3 ("config.mak.uname: support MSys2", 2016-01-13) for that
change.

e2d90fd1c3 config.mak.uname: set FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES for Linux and FreeBSD
This variable is added [1] with the assumption that on a sane system,
fopen(<dir>, "r") should return NULL. Linux and FreeBSD do not meet this
expectation while at least Windows and AIX do. Let's make sure they
behave the same way.

I only tested one version on Linux (4.7.0 with glibc 2.22) and
FreeBSD (11.0) but since GNU/kFreeBSD is fbsd kernel with gnu userspace,
I'm pretty sure it shares the same problem.

Since commit 2f8952250a ("regex: add regexec_buf() that can work on a

While looking through Google search results for the use of NO_REGEX I
found a Chef recipe that set this on AIX[1], looking through the
documentation for the latest version of AIX (7.2, released October
2015) shows that its regexec() doesn't have REG_STARTEND.

2cfc70f0de mingw: use OpenSSL's SHA-1 routines
Use OpenSSL's SHA-1 routines rather than builtin block-sha1 routines.
This improves performance on SHA1 operations on Intel processors.

OpenSSL 1.0.2 has made considerable performance improvements and
support the Intel hardware acceleration features.  See:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/improving-openssl-performance
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-sha-extensions

To test this I added/staged a single file in a gigantic
repository having a 450MB index file.  The code in read-cache.c
verifies the header SHA as it reads the index and computes a new
header SHA as it writes out the new index.  Therefore, in this test
the SHA code must process 900MB of data.  Testing was done on an
Intel I7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz (Intel64, Family 6, Model 60) CPU.

The block-sha1 version averaged 5.27 seconds.
The OpenSSL    version averaged 4.50 seconds.

1f7c926132 xdiff: drop XDL_FAST_HASH
The xdiff code hashes every line of both sides of a diff,
and then compares those hashes to find duplicates. The
overall performance depends both on how fast we can compute
the hashes, but also on how many hash collisions we see.

The idea of XDL_FAST_HASH is to speed up the hash
computation. But the generated hashes have worse collision
behavior. This means that in some cases it speeds diffs up
(running "git log -p" on git.git improves by ~8% with it),
but in others it can slow things down. One pathological case
saw over a 100x slowdown[1].

There may be a better hash function that covers both
properties, but in the meantime we are better off with the
original hash. It's slightly slower in the common case, but
it has fewer surprising pathological cases.

f7f90e0f4f mingw: make isatty() recognize MSYS2's pseudo terminals (/dev/pty*)
MSYS2 emulates pseudo terminals via named pipes, and isatty() returns 0
for such file descriptors. Therefore, some interactive functionality
(such as launching a pager, asking if a failed unlink should be repeated
etc.) doesn't work when run in a terminal emulator that uses MSYS2's
ptys (such as mintty).

However, MSYS2 uses special names for its pty pipes ('msys-*-pty*'),
which allows us to distinguish them from normal piped input / output.

On startup, check if stdin / stdout / stderr are connected to such pipes
using the NtQueryObject API from NTDll.dll. If the names match, adjust
the flags in MSVCRT's ioinfo structure accordingly.

f9206ce268 mingw: let's use gettext with MSYS2
This solves two problems:

- we now have proper localisation even on Windows

- we sidestep the infamous "BUG: your vsnprintf is broken (returned -1)"
  message when running "git init" (which otherwise prevents the entire
  test suite from running) because libintl.h overrides vsnprintf() with
  libintl_vsnprintf() [*1*]

The latter issue is rather crucial, as *no* test passes in Git for
Windows without this fix.

This just makes things compile, the test suite needs extra tender loving
care in addition to this change. We will address these issues in later
commits.

While at it, also allow building MSys2 Git (i.e. a Git that uses MSys2's
POSIX emulation layer).

df5218b4c3 config.mak.uname: support MSys2
For a long time, Git for Windows lagged behind Git's 2.x releases because
the Git for Windows developers wanted to let that big jump coincide with
a well-needed jump away from MSys to MSys2.

To understand why this is such a big issue, it needs to be noted that
many parts of Git are not written in portable C, but instead Git relies
on a POSIX shell and Perl to be available.

To support the scripts, Git for Windows has to ship a minimal POSIX
emulation layer with Bash and Perl thrown in, and when the Git for
Windows effort started in August 2007, this developer settled on using
MSys, a stripped down version of Cygwin. Consequently, the original name
of the project was "msysGit" (which, sadly, caused a *lot* of confusion
because few Windows users know about MSys, and even less care).

To compile the C code of Git for Windows, MSys was used, too: it sports
two versions of the GNU C Compiler: one that links implicitly to the
POSIX emulation layer, and another one that targets the plain Win32 API
(with a few convenience functions thrown in).  Git for Windows'
executables are built using the latter, and therefore they are really
just Win32 programs. To discern executables requiring the POSIX
emulation layer from the ones that do not, the latter are called MinGW
(Minimal GNU for Windows) when the former are called MSys executables.

This reliance on MSys incurred challenges, too, though: some of our
changes to the MSys runtime -- necessary to support Git for Windows
better -- were not accepted upstream, so we had to maintain our own
fork. Also, the MSys runtime was not developed further to support e.g.
UTF-8 or 64-bit, and apart from lacking a package management system
until much later (when mingw-get was introduced), many packages provided
by the MSys/MinGW project lag behind the respective source code
versions, in particular Bash and OpenSSL. For a while, the Git for
Windows project tried to remedy the situation by trying to build newer
versions of those packages, but the situation quickly became untenable,
especially with problems like the Heartbleed bug requiring swift action
that has nothing to do with developing Git for Windows further.

Happily, in the meantime the MSys2 project (https://msys2.github.io/)
emerged, and was chosen to be the base of the Git for Windows 2.x. Just
like MSys, MSys2 is a stripped down version of Cygwin, but it is
actively kept up-to-date with Cygwin's source code.  Thereby, it already
supports Unicode internally, and it also offers the 64-bit support that
we yearned for since the beginning of the Git for Windows project.

MSys2 also ported the Pacman package management system from Arch Linux
and uses it heavily. This brings the same convenience to which Linux
users are used to from `yum` or `apt-get`, and to which MacOSX users are
used to from Homebrew or MacPorts, or BSD users from the Ports system,
to MSys2: a simple `pacman -Syu` will update all installed packages to
the newest versions currently available.

MSys2 is also *very* active, typically providing package updates
multiple times per week.

It still required a two-month effort to bring everything to a state
where Git's test suite passes, many more months until the first official
Git for Windows 2.x was released, and a couple of patches still await
their submission to the respective upstream projects. Yet without MSys2,
the modernization of Git for Windows would simply not have happened.

This commit lays the ground work to supporting MSys2-based Git builds.

4e3687858e config.mak.uname: Darwin: define HAVE_GETDELIM for modern OS X releases
On Mac OS X, getdelim() first became available with Xcode 4.1[1], which
was released the same day as OS X 10.7 "Lion", so assume getdelim()
availability from 10.7 onward. (As of this writing, OS X is at 10.10
"Yosemite".)

According to Wikipedia[2], 4.1 was also available for download by paying
developers on OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard", so it's possible that some 10.6
machines may have getdelim(). However, as strbuf's use of getdelim() is
purely an optimization, let's be conservative and assume 10.6 and
earlier lack getdelim().

[1]: Or, possibly with Xcode 4.0, but that version is no longer
     available for download, or not available to non-paying developers,
     so testing is not possible.

0cc30e0e84 strbuf_getwholeline: use getdelim if it is available
We spend a lot of time in strbuf_getwholeline in a tight
loop reading characters from a stdio handle into a buffer.
The libc getdelim() function can do this for us with less
overhead. It's in POSIX.1-2008, and was a GNU extension
before that. Therefore we can't rely on it, but can fall
back to the existing getc loop when it is not available.

The HAVE_GETDELIM knob is turned on automatically for Linux,
where we have glibc. We don't need to set any new
feature-test macros, because we already define _GNU_SOURCE.
Other systems that implement getdelim may need to other
macros (probably _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L), but we can
address that along with setting the Makefile knob after
testing the feature on those systems.

Running "git rev-parse refs/heads/does-not-exist" on a repo
with an extremely large (1.6GB) packed-refs file went from
(best-of-5):

  real    0m8.601s
  user    0m8.084s
  sys     0m0.524s

to:

  real    0m6.768s
  user    0m6.340s
  sys     0m0.432s

for a wall-clock speedup of 21%.

2b4c6efc82 read-cache: optionally disallow NTFS .git variants
The point of disallowing ".git" in the index is that we
would never want to accidentally overwrite files in the
repository directory. But this means we need to respect the
filesystem's idea of when two paths are equal. The prior
commit added a helper to make such a comparison for NTFS
and FAT32; let's use it in verify_path().

We make this check optional for two reasons:

  1. It restricts the set of allowable filenames, which is
     unnecessary for people who are not on NTFS nor FAT32.
     In practice this probably doesn't matter, though, as
     the restricted names are rather obscure and almost
     certainly would never come up in practice.

  2. It has a minor performance penalty for every path we
     insert into the index.

This patch ties the check to the core.protectNTFS config
option. Though this is expected to be most useful on Windows,
we allow it to be set everywhere, as NTFS may be mounted on
other platforms. The variable does default to on for Windows,
though.
