f98a20c50a Merge branch 'ew/autoconf-pthread' into maint
Existing autoconf generated test for the need to link with pthread
library did not check all the functions from pthread libraries;
recent FreeBSD has some functions in libc but not others, and we
mistakenly thought linking with libc is enough when it is not.

a9b02de8b7 configure.ac: stronger test for pthread linkage
We need to test linkage of pthread_create and pthread_join,
as pthread_mutex_* and pthread_key_* functions do not need
extra linkage under FreeBSD 10.3, leading to a false-positive
of the empty case.

2df13639e7 Merge branch 'jc/sane-grep'
Recent versions of GNU grep is pickier than before to decide if a
file is "binary" and refuse to give line-oriented hits when we
expect it to, unless explicitly told with "-a" option.  As our
scripted Porcelains use sane_grep wrapper for line-oriented data,
even when the line may contain non-ASCII payload we took from
end-user data, use "grep -a" to implement sane_grep wrapper when
using an implementation of "grep" that takes the "-a" option.

Newer versions of GNU grep is reported to be pickier when we feed a

not feed random binary file to our own sane_grep wrapper, allow us
to always pass "-a" by setting SANE_TEXT_GREP=-a Makefile variable
to work it around.

Some linkers, namely the one on IRIX are rather strict concerning
the order or arguments for symbol resolution, i.e. no libraries
listed before objects or other libraries on the command line are
considered for symbol resolution.  Therefore, -lpthread can't work
if it's put in CFLAGS, because it will not be considered for
resolving pthread_key_create in conftest.o. Use $LIBS instead.

7e91e8d73a configure.ac: detect ssl need with libcurl
When libcurl has been statically compiled with openssl support they both
need to be linked in everytime libcurl is used.

During configuration this can be detected by looking for Curl_ssl_init
function symbol in libcurl, which will only be present if libcurl has been
compiled statically built with openssl.

configure.ac checks for Curl_ssl_init function in libcurl and if such function
exists; it sets NEEDS_SSL_WITH_CURL that is used by the Makefile to include
-lssl alongside with -lcurl.

d543d9c0f4 compat: convert modes to use portable file type values
This adds simple wrapper functions around calls to stat(), fstat(),
and lstat() that translate the operating system's native file type
bits to those used by most operating systems.  It also rewrites the
S_IF* macros to the common values, so all file type processing is
performed using the translated modes.  This makes projects portable
across operating systems that use different file type definitions.

Only the file type bits may be affected by these compatibility
functions; the file permission bits are assumed to be 07777 and are
passed through unchanged.

61f76a3612 Portable alloca for Git
In the next patch we'll have to use alloca() for performance reasons,
but since alloca is non-standardized and is not portable, let's have a
trick with compatibility wrappers:

1. at configure time, determine, do we have working alloca() through
   alloca.h, and define

    #define HAVE_ALLOCA_H

   if yes.

2. in code

    #ifdef HAVE_ALLOCA_H
    # include <alloca.h>
    # define xalloca(size)      (alloca(size))
    # define xalloca_free(p)    do {} while(0)
    #else
    # define xalloca(size)      (xmalloc(size))
    # define xalloca_free(p)    (free(p))
    #endif

   and use it like

   func() {
       p = xalloca(size);
       ...

       xalloca_free(p);
   }

This way, for systems, where alloca is available, we'll have optimal
on-stack allocations with fast executions. On the other hand, on
systems, where alloca is not available, this gracefully fallbacks to
xmalloc/free.

Both autoconf and config.mak.uname configurations were updated. For
autoconf, we are not bothering considering cases, when no alloca.h is
available, but alloca() works some other way - its simply alloca.h is
available and works or not, everything else is deep legacy.

For config.mak.uname, I've tried to make my almost-sure guess for where
alloca() is available, but since I only have access to Linux it is the
only change I can be sure about myself, with relevant to other changed
systems people Cc'ed.

NOTE

SunOS and Windows had explicit -DHAVE_ALLOCA_H in their configurations.
I've changed that to now-common HAVE_ALLOCA_H=YesPlease which should be
correct.

62fb6d03da configure.ac: link with -liconv for locale_charset()
On e.g. FreeBSD 10.x, the following situation is common:
- there's iconv implementation in libc, which has no locale_charset()
  function
- there's GNU libiconv installed from Ports Collection

Git build process
- detects that iconv is in libc and thus -liconv is not needed for it
- detects locale_charset in -liconv, but for some reason doesn't add it
  to CHARSET_LIB (as it would do with -lcharset if locale_charset() was
  found there instead of -liconv)
- git doesn't build due to unresolved external locale_charset()

Fix this by adding -liconv to CHARSET_LIB if locale_charset() is
detected in this library.

b2d05e0653 git-compat-util.h: do not #include <sys/param.h> by default
Earlier we allowed platforms that lack <sys/param.h> not to include

file since the early days back when we used MAXPATHLEN (which we no
longer use) and also depended on it slurping ULONG_MAX (which we get
by including stdint.h or inttypes.h these days).

It turns out that we can compile our modern codebase just file
without including it on many platforms (so far, Fedora, Debian,
Ubuntu, MinGW, Mac OS X, Cygwin, HP-Nonstop, QNX and z/OS are
reported to be OK).

Let's stop including it by default, and on platforms that need it to
be included, leave "make NEEDS_SYS_PARAM_H=YesPlease" as an escape
hatch and ask them to report to us, so that we can find out about
the real dependency and fix it in a more platform agnostic way.

e0a5227930 configure.ac: fix pthreads detection on Mac OS X
The configure script checks whether certain flags are required to use
pthreads. But it did not consider that *none* might be needed (as is the
case on Mac OS X). This lead to configure adding "-mt" to the list of
flags (which does nothing on OS X except producing a warning). This in
turn triggered a compiler warning on every single file.

To solve this, we now first check if pthreads work without extra flags.
This means the check is now order dependant, hence a comment is added
explaining this, and the reasons for it.

Note that it might be possible to write an order independent test, but
it does not seem worth the extra effort required for implementing and
testing such a solution, when this simple solution exists and works.

ac5fc1c57f autoconf: use AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS instead of ad-hoc 'config.mak.append'
This will allow "./config.status --recheck; ./config.status" to work
correctly as a mean of reconfiguring the tree with the same configure
argument used in the previous "./configure" invocation.

c8e134a236 autoconf: remove few redundant semicolons
They are merely useless now, but would get in the way of future changes.

No semantic change is intended.

610473a6f7 autoconf: GIT_CONF_APPEND_LINE -> GIT_CONF_SUBST
The new name fits better with the macro signature, and underlines the
similarities with the autoconf-provided macro AC_SUBST (which will be
made even more pronounced in planned future commits).

Once again, no semantic change is intended, and indeed no change to the
generated configure script is expected.

390f4da8af autoconf: GIT_CONF_APPEND_LINE: change signature
Change one-argument GIT_CONF_APPEND_LINE([VAR=VAL]) to
GIT_CONF_APPEND_LINE([VAR], [VAL]), that is more similar to the usual
AC_SUBST macro; this is only a preparatory change in view of future
refactorings.

No semantic change is intended.  In fact, the generated configure file
doesn't change at all.

bf17126211 docs: drop asciidoc7compatible flag
When we made the switch to supporting asciidoc 8 in 4c7100a
(Documentation: adjust to AsciiDoc 8, 2007-06-14), we were
able to leave most of the documentation intact by defining
asciidoc7compatible.

Since commit 6cf378f (docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literal,
2012-04-26), we don't support versions of asciidoc older
than 8.4.1, which is when inline literals were introduced.
Therefore there is not much point in keeping our
documentation compatible with asciidoc 7.

So we are now free to drop the asciidoc7compatible flag and
update the documentation itself to assume asciidoc8.
Fortunately, doing the latter is very easy; we weren't using
any of the constructs impacted by asciidoc7compatible, so
there are no changes to make.

The reason is somewhat subtle. The asciidoc7compatible
affects only super/sub-scripts ("^" and "~") and index
terms. We don't use the latter at all. Nor we do we use the
former, but we did have to protect them from accidental
expansion in constructs like "rev^1". However, all of our
uses of "~" and "^" are either in code blocks (which are
rendered literally), or inside backticks. Prior to 6cf378f,
backticks were not inline literals, and needed proper
quoting. But post-6cf378f, we don't have to worry whether we
are using the old or new rules, as those characters are not
interpreted at all in either case.

I verified that the result of "make install-html
install-man" is identical before and after this patch on
asciidoc 8.6.7.

5b2d131419 configure: be more idiomatic
Lots of code in Git's configure.ac doesn't follow the typical formatting,
idioms and best practices for Autoconf input files.  Improve the situation.

There are probably many more similar improvements to be done, but trying
to clump all of them in a single change would make it unreviewable, so we
content ourselves with a partial improvement.

This change is just cosmetic, and should cause no semantic change.

The most relevant of the changes introduced by this patch are:

 - Do not add trailing '\' characters for line continuation where they
   are not truly needed.

 - In several (but not all) macro calls, properly quote the arguments.

 - Few cosmetic changes in spacing and comments.
