Since commit 20d2a30f8f (Makefile: replace perl/Makefile.PL with
simple make rules, 2017-12-10), the Git(3pm) man page is only
generated as an indirect dependency of the 'install-doc' and
'install-man' Makefile targets. Consequently, if someone runs 'make
man && sudo make install-man' (or their 'doc' counterparts), then
Git(3pm) will be generated as root, and the resulting root-owned files
and directories will in turn cause the next user-run 'make clean' to
fail. This was not an issue in the past, because Git(3pm) was
generated when 'make all' descended into 'perl/', which is usually not
run as root.
List Git(3pm) as a dependency of the 'doc' and 'man' Makefile targets,
too, so it gets generated by targets that are usually built as
ordinary users.
While at it, add 'install-man-perl' to the list of .PHONY targets.

Sparse has, for a long time, been issuing the following warning against
the pack-revindex.c file:
SP pack-revindex.c
pack-revindex.c:64:23: warning: memset with byte count of 262144
This results from a unconditional check, with a hard-coded limit, which
is really only appropriate for the kernel source code. (The check is for
a 'large' byte count in a call to memcpy(), memset(), copy_from_user()
and copy_to_user() functions).
A recent release of sparse (v0.5.1) has introduced some options to allow
this check to be turned off (-Wno-memcpy-max-count) or to specify the
actual limit used (-fmemcpy-max-count=COUNT), rather than a hard-coded
limit of 100000.
In order to suppress the warning, add a target for pack-revindex.sp that
adds the '-Wno-memcpy-max-count' option to the SPARSE_FLAGS variable.

Tying loose ends for the recent integration work of
collision-detecting SHA-1 implementation.
* ab/dc-sha1-loose-ends:
Makefile: NO_OPENSSL=1 should no longer imply BLK_SHA1=1
PERLLIB_EXTRA was introduced in v1.9-rc0~88^2 (2013-11-15) as a way
for packagers to add additional directories such as the location of
Subversion's perl bindings to Git's perl path. Since 20d2a30f
(Makefile: replace perl/Makefile.PL with simple make rules,
2012-12-10) setting that variable breaks perl-based commands instead:
$ PATH=$HOME/opt/git/bin:$PATH
$ make install prefix=$HOME/opt/git PERLLIB_EXTRA=anextralibdir
[...]
$ head -2 $HOME/opt/git/libexec/git-core/git-add--interactive
#!/usr/bin/perl
use lib (split(/:/, $ENV{GITPERLLIB} || ":helloiamanextrainstlibdir" || "/usr/local/google/home/jrn/opt/git/share/perl5"));
$ git add -p
Empty compile time value given to use lib at /home/jrn/opt/git/libexec/git-core/git-add--interactive line 2.
Removing the spurious ":" at the beginning of ":$PERLLIB_EXTRA" avoids
the "Empty compile time value" error but with that tweak the problem
still remains: PERLLIB_EXTRA ends up replacing instead of
supplementing the perllibdir that would be passed to 'use lib' if
PERLLIB_EXTRA were not set.
The intent was to simplify, as the commit message to 20d2a30f
explains:
| The scripts themselves will 'use lib' the target directory, but if
| INSTLIBDIR is set it overrides it. It doesn't have to be this way,
| it could be set in addition to INSTLIBDIR, but my reading of
| [v1.9-rc0~88^2] is that this is the desired behavior.
Restore the previous code structure to make PERLLIB_EXTRA work again.
Reproducing this problem requires an invocation of "make install"
instead of running bin-wrappers/git in place, since the latter sets
the GITPERLLIB environment variable, avoiding trouble.

Replace the perl/Makefile.PL and the fallback perl/Makefile used under
NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=NoThanks with a much simpler implementation heavily
inspired by how the i18n infrastructure's build process works[1].
The reason for having the Makefile.PL in the first place is that it
was initially[2] building a perl C binding to interface with libgit,
this functionality, that was removed[3] before Git.pm ever made it to
the master branch.
We've since since started maintaining a fallback perl/Makefile, as
MakeMaker wouldn't work on some platforms[4]. That's just the tip of
the iceberg. We have the PM.stamp hack in the top-level Makefile[5] to
detect whether we need to regenerate the perl/perl.mak, which I fixed
just recently to deal with issues like the perl version changing from
under us[6].
There is absolutely no reason for why this needs to be so complex
anymore. All we're getting out of this elaborate Rube Goldberg machine
was copying perl/* to perl/blib/* as we do a string-replacement on
the *.pm files to hardcode @@LOCALEDIR@@ in the source, as well as
pod2man-ing Git.pm & friends.
So replace the whole thing with something that's pretty much a copy of
how we generate po/build/**.mo from po/*.po, just with a small sed(1)
command instead of msgfmt. As that's being done rename the files
from *.pm to *.pmc just to indicate that they're generated (see
"perldoc -f require").
While I'm at it, change the fallback for Error.pm from being something
where we'll ship our own Error.pm if one doesn't exist at build time
to one where we just use a Git::Error wrapper that'll always prefer
the system-wide Error.pm, only falling back to our own copy if it
really doesn't exist at runtime. It's now shipped as
Git::FromCPAN::Error, making it easy to add other modules to
Git::FromCPAN::* in the future if that's needed.
Functional changes:
* This will not always install into perl's idea of its global
"installsitelib". This only potentially matters for packagers that
need to expose Git.pm for non-git use, and as explained in the
INSTALL file there's a trivial workaround.
* The scripts themselves will 'use lib' the target directory, but if
INSTLIBDIR is set it overrides it. It doesn't have to be this way,
it could be set in addition to INSTLIBDIR, but my reading of [7] is
that this is the desired behavior.
* We don't build man pages for all of the perl modules as we used to,
only Git(3pm). As discussed on-list[8] that we were building
installed manpages for purely internal APIs like Git::I18N or
private-Error.pm was always a bug anyway, and all the Git::SVN::*
ones say they're internal APIs.
There are apparently external users of Git.pm, but I don't expect
there to be any of the others.
As a side-effect of these general changes the perl documentation
now only installed by install-{doc,man}, not a mere "install" as
before.

Include the sha1collisiondetection submodule when running "make

downloading git as a tarball would just get an empty

Doing this automatically is a feature that's missing from git-archive,
but in the meantime let's bundle this up into the tarball we
ship. This ensures that the DC_SHA1_SUBMODULE flag does what's
intended even in an unpacked tarball, and more importantly means we're
building the exact same code from the same paths from git.git and from
the tarball.
I am not including all the files in the submodule, only the ones git
actually needs (and the licenses), only including some files like this
would be a useful feature if git-archive ever adds the ability to
bundle up submodules.

Fix a logic error in the initial introduction of DC_SHA1_EXTERNAL. If
git.git has a sha1collisiondetection submodule checked out the logic
to set DC_SHA1_SUBMODULE=auto would interact badly with the check for
whether DC_SHA1_SUBMODULE was set.
It would error out, meaning that there's no way to build git with
DC_SHA1_EXTERNAL=YesPlease without deinit-ing the submodule.
Instead, adjust the logic to only fire if the variable is to something
else than "auto" which would mean it's a mistake on the part of
whoever's building git, not just the Makefile tripping over its own
logic.

You may want to run the test suite with a different shell
than you use to build Git. For instance, you may build with
SHELL_PATH=/bin/sh (because it's faster, or it's what you
expect to exist on systems where the build will be used) but
want to run the test suite with bash (e.g., since that
allows using "-x" reliably across the whole test suite).
There's currently no good way to do this.
You might think that doing two separate make invocations,
like:
make &&
make -C t SHELL_PATH=/bin/bash
would work. And it _almost_ does. The second make will see
our bash SHELL_PATH, and we'll use that to run the
individual test scripts (or tell prove to use it to do so).
So far so good.
But this breaks down when "--tee" or "--verbose-log" is
used. Those options cause the test script to actually
re-exec itself using $SHELL_PATH. But wait, wouldn't our
second make invocation have set SHELL_PATH correctly in the
environment?
Yes, but test-lib.sh sources GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS, which we
built during the first "make". And that overrides the
environment, giving us the original SHELL_PATH again.
Let's introduce a new variable that lets you specify a
specific shell to be run for the test scripts. Note that we
have to touch both the main and t/ Makefiles, since we have
to record it in GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS in one, and use it in the
latter.

Introduce fetch-object, providing the ability to fetch one object from a
promisor remote.
This uses fetch-pack. To do this, the transport mechanism has been
updated with 2 flags, "from-promisor" to indicate that the resulting
pack comes from a promisor remote (and thus should be annotated as such
by index-pack), and "no-dependents" to indicate that only the objects
themselves need to be fetched (but fetching additional objects is
nevertheless safe).
Whenever "no-dependents" is used, fetch-pack will refrain from using any
object flags, because it is most likely invoked as part of a dynamic
object fetch by another Git command (which may itself use object flags).
An alternative to this is to leave fetch-pack alone, and instead update
the allocation of flags so that fetch-pack's flags never overlap with
any others, but this will end up shrinking the number of flags available
to nearly every other Git command (that is, every Git command that
accesses objects), so the approach in this commit was used instead.
This will be tested in a subsequent commit.

Add a test utility (test-drop-caches) that flushes all changes to disk
then drops file system cache on Windows, Linux, and OSX.
Add a perf test (p7519-fsmonitor.sh) for fsmonitor.
By default, the performance test will utilize the Watchman file system
monitor if it is installed. If Watchman is not installed, it will use a
dummy integration script that does not report any new or modified files.
The dummy script has very little overhead which provides optimistic results.
The performance test will also use the untracked cache feature if it is
available as fsmonitor uses it to speed up scanning for untracked files.
There are 4 environment variables that can be used to alter the default
behavior of the performance test:
GIT_PERF_7519_UNTRACKED_CACHE: used to configure core.untrackedCache
GIT_PERF_7519_SPLIT_INDEX: used to configure core.splitIndex
GIT_PERF_7519_FSMONITOR: used to configure core.fsmonitor
GIT_PERF_7519_DROP_CACHE: if set, the OS caches are dropped between tests
The big win for using fsmonitor is the elimination of the need to scan the
working directory looking for changed and untracked files. If the file
information is all cached in RAM, the benefits are reduced.

When the index is read from disk, the fsmonitor index extension is used
to flag the last known potentially dirty index entries. The registered
core.fsmonitor command is called with the time the index was last
updated and returns the list of files changed since that time. This list
is used to flag any additional dirty cache entries and untracked cache
directories.
We can then use this valid state to speed up preload_index(),
ie_match_stat(), and refresh_cache_ent() as they do not need to lstat()
files to detect potential changes for those entries marked
CE_FSMONITOR_VALID.
In addition, if the untracked cache is turned on valid_cached_dir() can
skip checking directories for new or changed files as fsmonitor will
invalidate the cache only for those directories that have been
identified as having potential changes.
To keep the CE_FSMONITOR_VALID state accurate during git operations;
when git updates a cache entry to match the current state on disk,
it will now set the CE_FSMONITOR_VALID bit.
Inversely, anytime git changes a cache entry, the CE_FSMONITOR_VALID bit
is cleared and the corresponding untracked cache directory is marked
invalid.

This is similar to using the hashmap in hashmap.c, but with an
easier-to-use API. In particular, custom entry comparisons no longer
need to be written, and lookups can be done without constructing a
temporary entry structure.
This is implemented as a thin wrapper over the hashmap API. In
particular, this means that there is an additional 4-byte overhead due
to the fact that the first 4 bytes of the hash is redundantly stored.
For now, I'm taking the simpler approach, but if need be, we can

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.

Many of our programs consider that it is OK to release dynamic
storage that is used throughout the life of the program by simply
exiting, but this makes it harder to leak detection tools to avoid
reporting false positives. Plug many existing leaks and introduce
a mechanism for developers to mark that the region of memory
pointed by a pointer is not lost/leaking to help these tools.
* jk/leak-checkers:
add UNLEAK annotation for reducing leak false positives
set_git_dir: handle feeding gitdir to itself
repository: free fields before overwriting them
reset: free allocated tree buffers

Platforms that ship with a separate sha1 with collision detection
library can link to it instead of using the copy we ship as part of
our source tree.

It's a common pattern in git commands to allocate some
memory that should last for the lifetime of the program and
then not bother to free it, relying on the OS to throw it
away.
This keeps the code simple, and it's fast (we don't waste
time traversing structures or calling free at the end of the
program). But it also triggers warnings from memory-leak
checkers like valgrind or LSAN. They know that the memory
was still allocated at program exit, but they don't know
_when_ the leaked memory stopped being useful. If it was
early in the program, then it's probably a real and
important leak. But if it was used right up until program
exit, it's not an interesting leak and we'd like to suppress
it so that we can see the real leaks.
This patch introduces an UNLEAK() macro that lets us do so.
To understand its design, let's first look at some of the
alternatives.
Unfortunately the suppression systems offered by
leak-checking tools don't quite do what we want. A
leak-checker basically knows two things:
1. Which blocks were allocated via malloc, and the
callstack during the allocation.
2. Which blocks were left un-freed at the end of the
program (and which are unreachable, but more on that
later).
Their suppressions work by mentioning the function or
callstack of a particular allocation, and marking it as OK
to leak. So imagine you have code like this:
int cmd_foo(...)
{
/* this allocates some memory */
char *p = some_function();
printf("%s", p);
return 0;
}
You can say "ignore allocations from some_function(),
they're not leaks". But that's not right. That function may
be called elsewhere, too, and we would potentially want to
know about those leaks.
So you can say "ignore the callstack when main calls
some_function". That works, but your annotations are
brittle. In this case it's only two functions, but you can
imagine that the actual allocation is much deeper. If any of
the intermediate code changes, you have to update the
suppression.
What we _really_ want to say is that "the value assigned to
p at the end of the function is not a real leak". But
leak-checkers can't understand that; they don't know about
"p" in the first place.
However, we can do something a little bit tricky if we make
some assumptions about how leak-checkers work. They
generally don't just report all un-freed blocks. That would
report even globals which are still accessible when the
leak-check is run. Instead they take some set of memory
(like BSS) as a root and mark it as "reachable". Then they
scan the reachable blocks for anything that looks like a
pointer to a malloc'd block, and consider that block
reachable. And then they scan those blocks, and so on,
transitively marking anything reachable from a global as
"not leaked" (or at least leaked in a different category).
So we can mark the value of "p" as reachable by putting it
into a variable with program lifetime. One way to do that is
to just mark "p" as static. But that actually affects the
run-time behavior if the function is called twice (you
aren't likely to call main() twice, but some of our cmd_*()
functions are called from other commands).
Instead, we can trick the leak-checker by putting the value
into _any_ reachable bytes. This patch keeps a global
linked-list of bytes copied from "unleaked" variables. That
list is reachable even at program exit, which confers
recursive reachability on whatever values we unleak.
In other words, you can do:
int cmd_foo(...)
{
char *p = some_function();
printf("%s", p);
UNLEAK(p);
return 0;
}
to annotate "p" and suppress the leak report.
But wait, couldn't we just say "free(p)"? In this toy
example, yes. But UNLEAK()'s byte-copying strategy has
several advantages over actually freeing the memory:
1. It's recursive across structures. In many cases our "p"
is not just a pointer, but a complex struct whose
fields may have been allocated by a sub-function. And
in some cases (e.g., dir_struct) we don't even have a
function which knows how to free all of the struct
members.
By marking the struct itself as reachable, that confers
reachability on any pointers it contains (including those
found in embedded structs, or reachable by walking
heap blocks recursively.
2. It works on cases where we're not sure if the value is
allocated or not. For example:
char *p = argc > 1 ? argv[1] : some_function();
It's safe to use UNLEAK(p) here, because it's not
freeing any memory. In the case that we're pointing to
argv here, the reachability checker will just ignore
our bytes.
3. Likewise, it works even if the variable has _already_
been freed. We're just copying the pointer bytes. If
the block has been freed, the leak-checker will skip
over those bytes as uninteresting.
4. Because it's not actually freeing memory, you can
UNLEAK() before we are finished accessing the variable.
This is helpful in cases like this:
char *p = some_function();
return another_function(p);
Writing this with free() requires:
int ret;
char *p = some_function();
ret = another_function(p);
free(p);
return ret;
But with unleak we can just write:
char *p = some_function();
UNLEAK(p);
return another_function(p);
This patch adds the UNLEAK() macro and enables it
automatically when Git is compiled with SANITIZE=leak. In
normal builds it's a noop, so we pay no runtime cost.
It also adds some UNLEAK() annotations to show off how the
feature works. On top of other recent leak fixes, these are
enough to get t0000 and t0001 to pass when compiled with
LSAN.
Note the case in commit.c which actually converts a
strbuf_release() into an UNLEAK. This code was already
non-leaky, but the free didn't do anything useful, since
we're exiting. Converting it to an annotation means that
non-leak-checking builds pay no runtime cost. The cost is
minimal enough that it's probably not worth going on a
crusade to convert these kinds of frees to UNLEAKS. I did it
here for consistency with the "sb" leak (though it would
have been equally correct to go the other way, and turn them
both into strbuf_release() calls).
