Our code often opens a path to an optional file, to work on its
contents when we can successfully open it. We can ignore a failure
to open if such an optional file does not exist, but we do want to
report a failure in opening for other reasons (e.g. we got an I/O
error, or the file is there, but we lack the permission to open).
The exact errors we need to ignore are ENOENT (obviously) and
ENOTDIR (less obvious). Instead of repeating comparison of errno
with these two constants, introduce a helper function to do so.

Fixes the test by changing "branch.s/s/dummy" to "branch.s/s.dummy" which is
the right way of accessing config key "branch.s/s.dummy". Purpose of
this test is to confirm that this key doesn't exist after the branch
"s/s" has been renamed to "s".
Earlier it was trying to access invalid config key and hence was getting
an error. However, this wasn't caught because we were expecting the
command to fail for other reason as mentioned above.

For commands that take revisions and pathspecs, magic
pathspecs like ":(exclude)foo" require the user to specify
a disambiguating "--", since they do not match a file in the
filesystem, like:
git grep foo -- :(exclude)bar
This makes them more annoying to use than they need to be.
We loosened the rules for wildcards in 28fcc0b71 (pathspec:
avoid the need of "--" when wildcard is used, 2015-05-02).
Let's do the same for pathspecs with long-form magic.
We already handle the short-forms ":/" and ":^" specially in
check_filename(), so we don't need to handle them here. And
in fact, we could do the same with long-form magic, parsing
out the actual filename and making sure it exists. But there
are a few reasons not to do it that way:
- the parsing gets much more complicated, and we'd want to
hand it off to the pathspec code. But that code isn't
ready to do this kind of speculative parsing (it's happy
to die() when it sees a syntactically invalid pathspec).
- not all pathspec magic maps to a filesystem path. E.g.,
:(attr) should be treated as a pathspec regardless of
what is in the filesystem
- we can be a bit looser with ":(" than with the
short-form ":/", because it is much less likely to have
a false positive. Whereas ":/" also means "search for a
commit with this regex".
Note that because the change is in verify_filename() and not
in its helper check_filename(), this doesn't affect the
verify_non_filename() case. I.e., if an item that matches
our new rule doesn't resolve as an object, we may fallback
to treating it as a pathspec (rather than complaining it
doesn't exist). But if it does resolve (e.g., as a file in
the index that starts with an open-paren), we won't then
complain that it's also a valid pathspec. This matches the
wildcard-exception behavior.
And of course in either case, one can always insert the "--"
to get more precise results.

We handle arguments with the ":/" pathspec magic specially,
making sure the name exists at the top-level. We'll want to
handle more pathspec magic in future patches, so let's do a
little rearranging to make that easier.
Instead of relying on an if/else cascade to avoid the
prefix_filename() call, we'll just set prefix to NULL.
Likewise, we'll get rid of the "name" variable entirely, and
just push the "arg" pointer forward to skip past the magic.
That means by the time we get to the prefix-handling, we're
set up appropriately whether we saw ":/" or not.
Note that this does impact the final error message we
produce when stat() fails, as it shows "arg" (which we'll
have modified to skip magic and include the prefix). This is
a good thing; the original message would say something like
"failed to stat ':/foo'", which is confusing (we tried to
stat "foo").

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 earlier than 8.20.
The 8.20 release was the first release to have JIT & pcre_jit_stack in
the headers, so a mock type needs to be provided for it on those
releases.
Now git should compile with all PCRE versions that it supported before
my JIT change.
I've tested it as far back as version 7.5 released on 2008-01-10, once
I got down to version 7.0 it wouldn't build anymore with GCC 7.1.1,
and I couldn't be bothered to anything older than 7.5 as I'm confident
that if the build breaks on those older versions it's not because of
my JIT change.
See the "un-break" change in this series ("grep: un-break building
with PCRE < 8.32", 2017-05-10) for why this isn't squashed into the
main PCRE JIT commit.

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 earlier than 8.32.
The JIT support was added in version 8.20 released on 2011-10-21, but
it wasn't until 8.32 released on 2012-11-30 that the fast code path to
use the JIT via pcre_jit_exec() was added[1] (see also [2]).
This means that versions 8.20 through 8.31 could still use the JIT,
but supporting it on those versions would add to the already verbose
macro soup around JIT support it, and I don't expect that the use-case
of compiling a brand new git against a 5 year old PCRE is particularly
common, and if someone does that they can just get the existing
pre-JIT slow codepath.
So just take the easy way out and disable the JIT on any version older
than 8.32.
The reason this change isn't part of the initial change PCRE JIT
support is to have a cleaner history showing which parts of the
implementation are only used for ancient PCRE versions. This also
makes it easier to revert this change if we ever decide to stop
supporting those old versions.

Change the grep PCRE v1 code to use JIT when available. When PCRE
support was initially added in commit 63e7e9d8b6 ("git-grep: Learn
PCRE", 2011-05-09) PCRE had no JIT support, it was integrated into
8.20 released on 2011-10-21.
Enabling JIT support usually improves performance by more than
40%. The pattern compilation times are relatively slower, but those
relative numbers are tiny, and are easily made back in all but the
most trivial cases of grep. Detailed benchmarks & overview of
compilation times is at: http://sljit.sourceforge.net/pcre.html
With this change the difference in a t/perf/p7820-grep-engines.sh run
is, with just the /perl/ tests shown:

The conditional support for JIT is implemented as suggested in the
pcrejit(3) man page. E.g. defining PCRE_STUDY_JIT_COMPILE to 0 if it's
not present.
The implementation is relatively verbose because even if
PCRE_CONFIG_JIT is defined only a call to pcre_config() can determine
if the JIT is available, and if so the faster pcre_jit_exec() function
should be called instead of pcre_exec(), and a different (but not
complimentary!) function needs to be called to free pcre1_extra_info.
There's no graceful fallback if pcre_jit_stack_alloc() fails under
PCRE_CONFIG_JIT, instead the program will simply abort. I don't think
this is worth handling gracefully, it'll only fail in cases where
malloc() doesn't work, in which case we're screwed anyway.
That there's no assignment of `p->pcre1_jit_on = 0` when
PCRE_CONFIG_JIT isn't defined isn't a bug. The create_grep_pat()
function allocates the grep_pat allocates it with calloc(), so it's
guaranteed to be 0 when PCRE_CONFIG_JIT isn't defined.
I you're bisecting and find this change, check that your PCRE isn't
older than 8.32. This change intentionally broke really old versions
of PCRE, but that's fixed in follow-up commits.

Change the pattern compilation logic under threading so that grep
doesn't compile a pattern it never ends up using on the non-threaded
code path, only to compile it again N times for N threads which will
each use their own copy, ignoring the initially compiled pattern.
This redundant compilation dates back to the initial introduction of
the threaded grep in commit 5b594f457a ("Threaded grep",
2010-01-25).
There was never any reason for doing this redundant work other than an
oversight in the initial commit. Jeff King suggested on-list in
<20170414212325.fefrl3qdjigwyitd@sigill.intra.peff.net> that this
might be needed to check the pattern for sanity before threaded
execution commences.
That's not the case. The pattern is compiled under threading in
start_threads() before any concurrent execution has started by calling
pthread_create(), so if the pattern contains an error we still do the
right thing. I.e. die with one error before any threaded execution has
commenced, instead of e.g. spewing out an error for each N threads,
which could be a regression a change like this might inadvertently
introduce.
This change is not meant as an optimization, any performance gains
from this are in the hundreds to thousands of nanoseconds at most. If
we wanted more performance here we could just re-use the compiled
patterns in multiple threads (regcomp(3) is thread-safe), or partially
re-use them and the associated structures in the case of later PCRE
JIT changes.
Rather, it's just to make the code easier to reason about. It's
confusing to debug this under threading & non-threading when the
threading codepaths redundantly compile a pattern which is never used.
The reason the patterns are recompiled is as a side-effect of
duplicating the whole grep_opt structure, which is not thread safe,
writable, and munged during execution. The grep_opt structure then
points to the grep_pat structure where pattern or patterns are stored.
I looked into e.g. splitting the API into some "do & alloc threadsafe
stuff", "spawn thread", "do and alloc non-threadsafe stuff", but the
execution time of grep_opt_dup() & pattern compilation is trivial
compared to actually executing the grep, so there was no point. Even
with the more expensive JIT changes to follow the most expensive PCRE
patterns take something like 0.0X milliseconds to compile at most[1].
The undocumented --debug mode added in commit 17bf35a3c7 ("grep: teach
--debug option to dump the parse tree", 2012-09-13) still works
properly with this change. It only emits debugging info during pattern
compilation, which is now dumped by the pattern compiled just before
the first thread is started.

Change the grep_{lock,unlock} functions to assert that num_threads is
true, instead of only locking & unlocking the pthread mutex lock when

These functions are never called when num_threads isn't true, this
logic has gone through multiple iterations since the initial
introduction of grep threading in commit 5b594f457a ("Threaded grep",

was true, so this check made the code confusing to read.
