mingw: workaround for hangs when sending STDIN
Explanation
-----------
The problem here is flawed `poll()` implementation. When it tries to
see if pipe can be written without blocking, it eventually calls
`NtQueryInformationFile()` and tests `WriteQuotaAvailable`. However,
the meaning of quota was misunderstood. The value of quota is reduced
when either some data was written to a pipe, *or* there is a pending
read on the pipe. Therefore, if there is a pending read of size >= than
the pipe's buffer size, poll() will think that pipe is not writable and
will hang forever, usually that means deadlocking both pipe users.
I have studied the problem and found that Windows pipes track two values:
`QuotaUsed` and `BytesInQueue`. The code in `poll()` apparently wants to
know `BytesInQueue` instead of quota. Unfortunately, `BytesInQueue` can
only be requested from read end of the pipe, while `poll()` receives
write end.
The git's implementation of `poll()` was copied from gnulib, which also
contains a flawed implementation up to today.
I also had a look at implementation in cygwin, which is also broken in a
subtle way. It uses this code in `pipe_data_available()`:
fpli.WriteQuotaAvailable = (fpli.OutboundQuota - fpli.ReadDataAvailable)
However, `ReadDataAvailable` always returns 0 for the write end of the pipe,
turning the code into an obfuscated version of returning pipe's total
buffer size, which I guess will in turn have `poll()` always say that pipe
is writable. The commit that introduced the code doesn't say anything about
this change, so it could be some debugging code that slipped in.
These are the typical sizes used in git:
0x2000 - default read size in `strbuf_read()`
0x1000 - default read size in CRT, used by `strbuf_getwholeline()`
0x2000 - pipe buffer size in compat\mingw.c
As a consequence, as soon as child process uses `strbuf_read()`,
`poll()` in parent process will hang forever, deadlocking both
processes.
This results in two observable behaviors:
1) If parent process begins sending STDIN quickly (and usually that's
the case), then first `poll()` will succeed and first block will go
through. MAX_IO_SIZE_DEFAULT is 8MB, so if STDIN exceeds 8MB, then
it will deadlock.
2) If parent process waits a little bit for any reason (including OS
scheduler) and child is first to issue `strbuf_read()`, then it will
deadlock immediately even on small STDINs.
The problem is illustrated by `git stash push`, which will currently
read the entire patch into memory and then send it to `git apply` via
STDIN. If patch exceeds 8MB, git hangs on Windows.
Possible solutions
------------------
1) Somehow obtain `BytesInQueue` instead of `QuotaUsed`
I did a pretty thorough search and didn't find any ways to obtain
the value from write end of the pipe.
2) Also give read end of the pipe to `poll()`
That can be done, but it will probably invite some dirty code,
because `poll()`
* can accept multiple pipes at once
* can accept things that are not pipes
* is expected to have a well known signature.
3) Make `poll()` always reply "writable" for write end of the pipe
Afterall it seems that cygwin (accidentally?) does that for years.
Also, it should be noted that `pump_io_round()` writes 8MB blocks,
completely ignoring the fact that pipe's buffer size is only 8KB,
which means that pipe gets clogged many times during that single
write. This may invite a deadlock, if child's STDERR/STDOUT gets
clogged while it's trying to deal with 8MB of STDIN. Such deadlocks
could be defeated with writing less than pipe's buffer size per
round, and always reading everything from STDOUT/STDERR before
starting next round. Therefore, making `poll()` always reply
"writable" shouldn't cause any new issues or block any future
solutions.
4) Increase the size of the pipe's buffer
The difference between `BytesInQueue` and `QuotaUsed` is the size
of pending reads. Therefore, if buffer is bigger than size of reads,
`poll()` won't hang so easily. However, I found that for example
`strbuf_read()` will get more and more hungry as it reads large inputs,
eventually surpassing any reasonable pipe buffer size.
Chosen solution
---------------
Make `poll()` always reply "writable" for write end of the pipe.
Hopefully one day someone will find a way to implement it properly.
Reproduction
------------
printf "%8388608s" X >large_file.txt
git stash push --include-untracked -- large_file.txt
I have decided not to include this as test to avoid slowing down the
test suite. I don't expect the specific problem to come back, and
chances are that `git stash push` will be reworked to avoid sending the
entire patch via STDIN.

t/lib-httpd: avoid using macOS' sed
Among other differences relative to GNU sed, macOS' sed always ends its
output with a trailing newline, even if the input did not have such a
trailing newline.
Surprisingly, this makes three httpd-based tests fail on macOS: t5616,
t5702 and t5703. ("Surprisingly" because those tests have been around
for some time, but apparently nobody runs them on macOS with a working
Apache2 setup.)
The reason is that we use `sed` in those tests to filter the response of
the web server. Apart from the fact that we use GNU constructs (such as
using a space after the `c` command instead of a backslash and a
newline), we have another problem: macOS' sed LF-only newlines while
webservers are supposed to use CR/LF ones.
Even worse, t5616 uses `sed` to replace a binary part of the response
with a new binary part (kind of hoping that the replaced binary part
does not contain a 0x0a byte which would be interpreted as a newline).
To that end, it calls on Perl to read the binary pack file and
hex-encode it, then calls on `sed` to prefix every hex digit pair with a
`\x` in order to construct the text that the `c` statement of the `sed`
invocation is supposed to insert. So we call Perl and sed to construct a
sed statement. The final nail in the coffin is that macOS' sed does not
even interpret those `\x<hex>` constructs.
Let's just replace all of that by Perl snippets. With Perl, at least, we
do not have to deal with GNU vs macOS semantics, we do not have to worry
about unwanted trailing newlines, and we do not have to spawn commands
to construct arguments for other commands to be spawned (i.e. we can
avoid a whole lot of shell scripting complexity).
The upshot is that this fixes t5616, t5702 and t5703 on macOS with
Apache2.

partial-clone: avoid fetching when looking for objects
When using partial clone, find_non_local_tags() in builtin/fetch.c
checks each remote tag to see if its object also exists locally. There
is no expectation that the object exist locally, but this function
nevertheless triggers a lazy fetch if the object does not exist. This
can be extremely expensive when asking for a commit, as we are
completely removed from the context of the non-existent object and
thus supply no "haves" in the request.
6462d5eb9a (fetch: remove fetch_if_missing=0, 2019-11-05) removed a
global variable that prevented these fetches in favor of a bitflag.
However, some object existence checks were not updated to use this flag.
Update find_non_local_tags() to use OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT in
addition to OBJECT_INFO_QUICK. The _QUICK option only prevents
repreparing the pack-file structures. We need to be extremely careful
about supplying _SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT when we expect an object to not exist
due to updated refs.

partial-clone: demonstrate bugs in partial fetch
While testing partial clone, I noticed some odd behavior. I was testing
a way of running 'git init', followed by manually configuring the remote
for partial clone, and then running 'git fetch'. Astonishingly, I saw
the 'git fetch' process start asking the server for multiple rounds of
pack-file downloads! When tweaking the situation a little more, I
discovered that I could cause the remote to hang up with an error.
Add two tests that demonstrate these two issues.
In the first test, we find that when fetching with blob filters from
a repository that previously did not have any tags, the 'git fetch
--tags origin' command fails because the server sends "multiple
filter-specs cannot be combined". This only happens when using
protocol v2.
In the second test, we see that a 'git fetch origin' request with
several ref updates results in multiple pack-file downloads. This must
be due to Git trying to fault-in the objects pointed by the refs. What
makes this matter particularly nasty is that this goes through the
do_oid_object_info_extended() method, so there are no "haves" in the
negotiation. This leads the remote to send every reachable commit and
tree from each new ref, providing a quadratic amount of data transfer!
This test is fixed if we revert
6462d5eb9a (fetch: remove
fetch_if_missing=0, 2019-11-05), but that revert causes other test
failures. The real fix will need more care.
The tests are ordered in this way because if I swap the test order the
tag test will succeed instead of fail. I believe this is because somehow
we need the srv.bare repo to not have any tags when we clone, but then
have tags in our next fetch.

check-ignore: fix documentation and implementation to match
check-ignore has two different modes, and neither of these modes has an
implementation that matches the documentation. These modes differ in
whether they just print paths or whether they also print the final
pattern matched by the path. The fix is different for both modes, so
I'll discuss both separately.
=== First (default) mode ===
The first mode is documented as:
For each pathname given via the command-line or from a file via
--stdin, check whether the file is excluded by .gitignore (or other
input files to the exclude mechanism) and output the path if it is
excluded.
However, it fails to do this because it did not account for negated
patterns. Commands other than check-ignore verify exclusion rules via
calling
... -> treat_one_path() -> is_excluded() -> last_matching_pattern()
while check-ignore has a call path of the form:
... -> check_ignore() -> last_matching_pattern()
The fact that the latter does not include the call to is_excluded()
means that it is susceptible to to messing up negated patterns (since
that is the only significant thing is_excluded() adds over
last_matching_pattern()). Unfortunately, we can't make it just call
is_excluded(), because the same codepath is used by the verbose mode
which needs to know the matched pattern in question. This brings us
to...
=== Second (verbose) mode ===
The second mode, known as verbose mode, references the first in the
documentation and says:
Also output details about the matching pattern (if any) for each
given pathname. For precedence rules within and between exclude
sources, see gitignore(5).
The "Also" means it will print patterns that match the exclude rules as
noted for the first mode, and also print which pattern matches. Unless
more information is printed than just pathname and pattern (which is not
done), this definition is somewhat ill-defined and perhaps even
self-contradictory for negated patterns: A path which matches a negated
exclude pattern is NOT excluded and thus shouldn't be printed by the
former logic, while it certainly does match one of the explicit patterns
and thus should be printed by the latter logic.
=== Resolution ==
Since the second mode exists to find out which pattern matches given
paths, and showing the user a pattern that begins with a '!' is
sufficient for them to figure out whether the pattern is excluded, the
existing behavior is desirable -- we just need to update the
documentation to match the implementation (i.e. it is about printing
which pattern is matched by paths, not about showing which paths are
excluded).
For the first or default mode, users just want to know whether a pattern
is excluded. As such, the existing documentation is desirable; change
the implementation to match the documented behavior.
Finally, also adjust a few tests in t0008 that were caught up by this
discrepancy in how negated paths were handled.

doc-diff: use single-colon rule in rendering Makefile
When rendering the troff manpages to text via "man", we create an ad-hoc
Makefile and feed it to "make". The purpose here is two-fold:
- reuse results from a prior interrupted render of the same tree
- use make's -j option to build in parallel
But the second part doesn't seem to work (at least with my version of
GNU make, 4.2.1). It just runs one render at a time.
We use a double-colon "all" rule for each file, like:
all:: foo
foo:
...actual render recipe...
all:: bar
bar:
...actual render recipe...
...and so on...
And it's this double-colon that seems to inhibit the parallelism. We can
just switch to a regular single-colon rule. Even though we do have
multiple rules for "all" here, we don't have any recipe to execute for
"all" (we only care about triggering its dependencies), so the
distinction is irrelevant.

tests: fix --write-junit-xml with subshells
In t0000, more precisely in its `test_bool_env` test case, there are two
subshells that are supposed to fail. To be even _more_ precise, they
fail by calling the `error` function, and that is okay, because it is in
a subshell, and it is expected that those two subshell invocations fail.
However, the `error` function also tries to finalize the JUnit XML (if
that XML was asked for, via `--write-junit-xml`. As a consequence, the
XML is edited to add a `time` attribute for the `testsuite` tag. And
since there are two expected `error` calls in addition to the final
`test_done`, the `finalize_junit_xml` function is called three times and
naturally the `time` attribute is added _three times_.
Azure Pipelines is not happy with that, complaining thusly:
##[warning]Failed to read D:\a\1\s\t\out\TEST-t0000-basic.xml. Error : 'time' is a duplicate attribute name. Line 2, position 82..
One possible way to address this would be to unset `write_junit_xml` in
the `test_bool_env` test case.
But that would be fragile, as other `error` calls in subshells could be
introduced.
So let's just modify `finalize_junit_xml` to remove any `time` attribute

index-pack: downgrade twice-resolved REF_DELTA to die()
When we're resolving a REF_DELTA, we compare-and-swap its type from
REF_DELTA to whatever real type the base object has, as discussed in
ab791dd138 (index-pack: fix race condition with duplicate bases,
2014-08-29). If the old type wasn't a REF_DELTA, we consider that a
BUG(). But as discussed in that commit, we might see this case whenever
we try to resolve an object twice, which may happen because we have
multiple copies of the base object.
So this isn't a bug at all, but rather a sign that the input pack is
broken. And indeed, this case is triggered already in t5309.5 and
t5309.6, which create packs with delta cycles and duplicate bases. But
we never noticed because those tests are marked expect_failure.
Those tests were added by
b2ef3d9ebb (test index-pack on packs with
recoverable delta cycles, 2013-08-23), which was leaving the door open
for cases that we theoretically _could_ handle. And when we see an
already-resolved object like this, in theory we could keep going after
confirming that the previously resolved child->real_type matches
base->obj->real_type. But:
- enforcing the "only resolve once" rule here saves us from an
infinite loop in other parts of the code. If we keep going, then the
delta cycle in t5309.5 causes us to loop infinitely, as
find_ref_delta_children() doesn't realize which objects have already
been resolved. So there would be more changes needed to make this
case work, and in the meantime we'd be worse off.
- any pack that triggers this is broken anyway. It either has a
duplicate base object, or it has a cycle which causes us to bring in
a duplicate via --fix-thin. In either case, we'd end up rejecting
the pack in write_idx_file(), which also detects duplicates.
So the tests have little value in documenting what we _could_ be doing
(and have been neglected for 6+ years). Let's switch them to confirming
that we handle this case cleanly (and switch out the BUG() for a more
informative die() so that we do so).

notes.c: fix off-by-one error when decreasing notes fanout
As noted in the previous commit, the nature of the fanout heuristic

Since the object ids generated by the test environment are
deterministic (by design), the notes generated and tested by t3305

behavior from one run to the next.
Coincidentally, if we were to change the test environment slightly

the t3305 test proper), we not only see the fanout switch happen at
different points, we also manage to trigger a _bug_ in the notes
code where the fanout 1 -> 0 switch is not applied uniformly across
the notes tree, but instead yields a notes tree like this:
...
bdeafb301e44b0e4db0f738a2d2a7beefdb70b70
bff2d39b4f7122bd4c5caee3de353a774d1e632a

eb3c3aede523d729990ac25c62a93eb47c21e2e3
...
The bug occurs when we are writing out a notes tree with a newly
decreased fanout, and the notes tree contains unexpanded subtrees
that should be consolidated into the parent tree as a consequence of
the decreased fanout):
Subtrees that happen to sit at an _even_ level in the internal notes
16-tree structure (in other words: subtrees whose path - "d3" in the
example above - is unique in the first nibble - i.e. there are no
other note paths that start with "d") are _not_ unpacked as part of
the tree writeout. This error will repeat itself in subsequent note
trees until the subtree is forced to be unpacked. In t3305 this only
happens when the
d38ec8f8 note is itself removed from the tree.
The error is not severe (no information is lost, and the notes code
is able to read/decode this tree and manipulate it correctly), but
this is nonetheless a bug in the current implementation that should
be fixed.
That said, fixing the off-by-one error is not without complications:
We must take into account that the load_subtree() call from
for_each_note_helper() (that is now done to correctly unpack the
subtree while we're writing out the notes tree) may end up inserting
unpacked non-notes into the linked list of non_note entries held by
the struct notes_tree. Since we are in the process of writing out the
notes tree, this linked list is currently in the process of being
traversed by write_each_non_note_until(). The unpacked non-notes are
necessarily inserted between the last non-note we wrote out, and the
next non-note to be written. Hence, we cannot simply hold the
next_non_note to write in struct write_each_note_data (as we would
then silently skip these newly inserted notes), but must instead
always follow the ->next pointer from the last non-note we wrote.
(This part was caught by an existing test in t3304.)

t3305: check notes fanout more carefully and robustly
In short, before this patch, this test script:
- creates many notes
- verifies that all notes in the notes tree has a fanout of 1
- removes most notes
- verifies that the notes in the notes tree now has a fanout of 0
The fanout verification only happened twice: after creating all the
notes, and after removing most of them.
This patch strengthens the test by checking the fanout after _each_
added/removed note: We assert that the switch from fanout 0 -> 1
happens exactly once while adding notes (and that the switch pervades
the entire notes tree). Likewise, we assert that the switch from
fanout 1 -> 0 happens exactly once while removing notes.
Additionally, we decrease the number of notes left after removal,
from 50 to 15 notes, in order to ensure that fanout 1 -> 0 transition
keeps happening regardless of external factors[1].
[1]: Currently (with the SHA1 hash function and the deterministic
object ids of the test environment) the fanout heuristic in the notes
code happens to switch from 0 -> 1 at 109 notes, and from 1 -> 0 at
59 notes. However, changing the hash function or other external
factors will vary these numbers, and the latter may - in theory - go
as low as 15. For more details, please see the discussion at

git-filter-branch.txt: wrap "maths" notation in backticks
In this paragraph, we have a few instances of the '^' character, which
we give as "\^". This renders well with AsciiDoc ("^"), but Asciidoctor
renders it literally as "\^". Dropping the backslashes renders fine
with Asciidoctor, but not AsciiDoc...
An earlier version of this patch used "{caret}" instead of "^", which
avoided these escaping problems. The rendering was still so-so, though
-- these expressions end up set as normal text, similarly to when one
provides, e.g., computer code in the middle of running text, without
properly marking it with `backticks` to be monospaced.
As noted by Jeff King, this suggests actually wrapping these
expressions in backticks, setting them in monospace.
The lone "5" could be left as is or wrapped as `5`. Spell it out as
"five" instead -- this generally looks better anyway for small numbers
in the middle of text like this.

obstack: avoid computing offsets from NULL pointer
As with the previous two commits, UBSan with clang-11 complains about
computing offsets from a NULL pointer. The failures in t4013 (and
elsewhere) look like this:
kwset.c:102:23: runtime error: applying non-zero offset
107820859019600 to null pointer
...
not ok 79 - git log -SF master # magic is (not used)
That line is not enlightening:
... = obstack_alloc(&kwset->obstack, sizeof (struct trie));
because obstack is implemented almost entirely in macros, and the actual
problem is five macros deep (I temporarily converted them to inline
functions to get better compiler errors, which was tedious but worked
reasonably well).
The actual problem is in these pointer-alignment macros:
/* If B is the base of an object addressed by P, return the result of
aligning P to the next multiple of A + 1. B and P must be of type
char *. A + 1 must be a power of 2. */
#define __BPTR_ALIGN(B, P, A) ((B) + (((P) - (B) + (A)) & ~(A)))
/* Similar to _BPTR_ALIGN (B, P, A), except optimize the common case
where pointers can be converted to integers, aligned as integers,
and converted back again. If PTR_INT_TYPE is narrower than a
pointer (e.g., the AS/400), play it safe and compute the alignment
relative to B. Otherwise, use the faster strategy of computing the
alignment relative to 0. */
#define __PTR_ALIGN(B, P, A) \
__BPTR_ALIGN (sizeof (PTR_INT_TYPE) < sizeof (void *) ? (B) : (char *) 0, \
P, A)
If we have a sufficiently-large integer pointer type, then we do the
computation using a NULL pointer constant. That turns __BPTR_ALIGN()
into something like:
NULL + (P - NULL + A) & ~A
and UBSan is complaining about adding the full value of P to that
initial NULL. We can fix this by doing our math as an integer type, and
then casting the result back to a pointer. The problem case only happens
when we know that the integer type is large enough, so there should be
no issue with truncation.
Another option would be just simplify out all the 0's from
__BPTR_ALIGN() for the NULL-pointer case. That probably wouldn't work
for a platform where the NULL pointer isn't all-zeroes, but Git already
wouldn't work on such a platform (due to our use of memset to set
pointers in structs to NULL). But I tried here to keep as close to the
original as possible.

xdiff: avoid computing non-zero offset from NULL pointer
As with the previous commit, clang-11's UBSan complains about computing
offsets from a NULL pointer, causing some tests to fail. In this case,
though, we're actually computing a non-zero offset, which is even more
dubious. From t7810:
xdiff-interface.c:268:14: runtime error: applying non-zero offset 1 to null pointer
...
not ok 131 - grep -p with userdiff
The problem is our parsing of the funcname config. We count the number
of lines in the string, allocate an array, and then loop over our
allocated entries, parsing each line and moving our cursor to one past
the trailing newline for the next iteration.
But the final line will not generally have a trailing newline (since
it's a config value), and hence we go to one past NULL. In practice this
is OK, since our loop should terminate before we look at the value. But
even computing such an invalid pointer technically violates the
standard.
We can fix it by leaving the pointer at NULL if we're at the end, rather
than one-past. And while we're thinking about it, we can also document
the variant by asserting that our initial line-count matches the
second-pass of parsing.

avoid computing zero offsets from NULL pointer
The Undefined Behavior Sanitizer in clang-11 seems to have learned a new
trick: it complains about computing offsets from a NULL pointer, even if
that offset is 0. This causes numerous test failures. For example, from
t1090:
unpack-trees.c:1355:41: runtime error: applying zero offset to null pointer
...
not ok 6 - in partial clone, sparse checkout only fetches needed blobs
The code in question looks like this:
struct cache_entry **cache_end = cache + nr;
...
while (cache != cache_end)
and we sometimes pass in a NULL and 0 for "cache" and "nr". This is
conceptually fine, as "cache_end" would be equal to "cache" in this
case, and we wouldn't enter the loop at all. But computing even a zero
offset violates the C standard. And given the fact that UBSan is
noticing this behavior, this might be a potential problem spot if the
compiler starts making unexpected assumptions based on undefined
behavior.
So let's just avoid it, which is pretty easy. In some cases we can just
switch to iterating with a numeric index (as we do in sequencer.c here).
In other cases (like the cache_end one) the use of an end pointer is
more natural; we can keep that by just explicitly checking for the
NULL/0 case when assigning the end pointer.
Note that there are two ways you can write this latter case, checking
for the pointer:
cache_end = cache ? cache + nr : cache;
or the size:
cache_end = nr ? cache + nr : cache;
For the case of a NULL/0 ptr/len combo, they are equivalent. But writing
it the second way (as this patch does) has the property that if somebody
were to incorrectly pass a NULL pointer with a non-zero length, we'd
continue to notice and segfault, rather than silently pretending the
length was zero.

for example, a change in the length of the object hash might result in

merge-recursive: silence -Wxor-used-as-pow warning
The merge-recursive code uses stage number constants like this:
add = &ci->ren1->dst_entry->stages[2 ^ 1];
...
add = &ci->ren2->dst_entry->stages[3 ^ 1];
The xor has the effect of flipping the "1" bit, so that "2 ^ 1" becomes
"3" and "3 ^ 1" becomes "2", which correspond to the "ours" and "theirs"
stages respectively.
Unfortunately, clang-10 and up issue a warning for this code:
merge-recursive.c:1759:40: error: result of '2 ^ 1' is 3; did you mean '1 << 1' (2)? [-Werror,-Wxor-used-as-pow]

~~^~~
1 << 1
merge-recursive.c:1759:40: note: replace expression with '0x2 ^ 1' to silence this warning
We could silence it by using 0x2, as the compiler mentions. Or by just
using the constants "2" and "3" directly. But after digging into it, I
do think this bit-flip is telling us something. If we just wrote:
add = &ci->ren2->dst_entry->stages[2];
for the second one, you might think that "ren2" and "2" correspond. But
they don't. The logic is: ren2 is theirs, which is stage 3, but we
are interested in the opposite side's stage, so flip it to 2.
So let's keep the bit-flipping, but let's also put it behind a named
function, which will make its purpose a bit clearer. This also has the
side effect of suppressing the warning (and an optimizing compiler
should be able to easily turn it into a constant as before).
