sha1-name: mark get_oid() error messages for translation
There are several error messages in get_oid() and its children that are
clearly intended for humans, but aren't marked for translation. E.g.:
$ git show :1:foo
fatal: Path 'foo' is in the index, but not at stage 1.
Did you mean ':0:foo'?
Let's mark these for translation. While we're at it, let's switch the
style to be more like our usual error messages: start with a lowercase
letter and omit a period at the end of the line.
This does mean that multi-line messages like the one above don't have
any punctuation between the two sentences. I solved that by adding a
"hint" marker like we'd see from advise(). So the result is:
$ git show :1:foo
fatal: path 'foo' is in the index, but not at stage 1
hint: Did you mean ':0:foo'?

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.

rebase-interactive: warn if commit is dropped with `rebase --edit-todo'
When set to "warn" or "error", `rebase.missingCommitsCheck' would make
`rebase -i' warn if the user removed commits from the todo list to
prevent mistakes. Unfortunately, `rebase --edit-todo' and `rebase
--continue' don't take it into account.
This adds the ability for `rebase --edit-todo' and `rebase --continue'
to check if commits were dropped by the user. As both edit_todo_list()
and complete_action() parse the todo list and check for dropped commits,
the code doing so in the latter is removed to reduce duplication.
`edit_todo_list_advice' is removed from sequencer.c as it is no longer
used there.
This changes when a backup of the todo list is made. Until now, it was
saved only once, before the initial edit. Now, it is also made if the
original todo list has no errors or no dropped commits. Thus, the
backup should be error-free. Without this, sequencer_continue()
(`rebase --continue') could only compare the current todo list against
the original, unedited list. Before this change, this file was only
used by edit_todo_list() and `rebase -p' to create the backup before
the initial edit, and check_todo_list_from_file(), only used by
`rebase -p' to check for dropped commits after its own initial edit.
If the edited list has an error, a file, `dropped', is created to
report the issue. Otherwise, it is deleted. Usually, the edited list
is compared against the list before editing, but if this file exists,
it will be compared to the backup. Also, if the file exists,
sequencer_continue() checks the list for dropped commits. If the
check was performed every time, it would fail when resuming a rebase
after resolving a conflict, as the backup will contain commits that
were picked, but they will not be in the new list. It's safe to
ignore this check if `dropped' does not exist, because that means that
no errors were found at the last edition, so any missing commits here
have already been picked.
Five tests are added to t3404. The tests for
`rebase.missingCommitsCheck = warn' and `rebase.missingCommitsCheck =
error' have a similar structure. First, we start a rebase with an
incorrect command on the first line. Then, we edit the todo list,
removing the first and the last lines. This demonstrates that
`--edit-todo' notices dropped commits, but not when the command is
incorrect. Then, we restore the original todo list, and edit it to
remove the last line. This demonstrates that if we add a commit after
the initial edit, then remove it, `--edit-todo' will notice that it
has been dropped. Then, the actual rebase takes place. In the third
test, it is also checked that `--continue' will refuse to resume the
rebase if commits were dropped. The fourth test checks that no errors
are raised when resuming a rebase after resolving a conflict, the fifth
checks that no errors are raised when editing the todo list after
pausing the rebase.

In this case, the intent was to check that the conflicting file does
_not_ contain the resolved content. But the check actually uses the

that the non-equality is satisfied. And, on top of it, it uses a commit

t2018: teach do_checkout() to accept `!` arg
We are running `test_must_fail do_checkout`. However,
`test_must_fail` should only be used on git commands. Teach
do_checkout() to accept `!` as a potential first argument which will
cause the function to expect the "git checkout" to fail.
This increases the granularity of the test as, instead of blindly

t2018: be more discerning when checking for expected exit codes
Functions test_dirty_unmergeable() and test_dirty_mergeable()
expect git-diff to exit with the specific code 1. However, rather
than checking for that value explicitly, they instead negate the
exit code. Unfortunately, this negation makes it impossible to
distinguish the expected code from some other unexpected non-zero
code, for instance, from a segmentation fault. Therefore, be more
discerning by checking the exit code explicitly using
test_expect_code().
Furthermore, some callers of those functions want to negate the
result again, and do so with test_must_fail(). However,
test_must_fail() should only be used with git commands. Address
this by introducing a couple new tiny helper functions which test
the exact condition expected (without the unnecessarily confusing
double-negation).

t5616: make robust to delta base change
Commit

contains a test that relies on having to lazily fetch the delta base of
a blob, but assumes that the tree being fetched (as part of the test) is
sent as a non-delta object. This assumption may not hold in the future;
for example, a change in the length of the object hash might result in
the tree being sent as a delta instead.
Make the test more robust by relying on having to lazily fetch the delta

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).

verify_filename(): handle backslashes in "wildcards are pathspecs" rule
Commit
28fcc0b71a (pathspec: avoid the need of "--" when wildcard is
used, 2015-05-02) allowed:
git rev-parse '*.c'
without the double-dash. But the rule it uses to check for wildcards
actually looks for any glob special. This is overly liberal, as it means
that a pattern that doesn't actually do any wildcard matching, like
"a\b", will be considered a pathspec.
If you do have such a file on disk, that's presumably what you wanted.
But if you don't, the results are confusing: rather than say "there's no
such path a\b", we'll quietly accept it as a pathspec which very likely
matches nothing (or at least not what you intended). Likewise, looking
for path "a\*b" doesn't expand the search at all; it would only find a
single entry, "a*b".
This commit switches the rule to trigger only when glob metacharacters
would expand the search, meaning both of those cases will now report an
error (you can still disambiguate using "--", of course; we're just
tightening the DWIM heuristic).
Note that we didn't test the original feature in
28fcc0b71a at all. So
this patch not only tests for these corner cases, but also adds a
regression test for the existing behavior.

Check each pattern for the "**" substring, and revert to the old

rebase -i: stop checking out the tip of the branch to rebase
One of the first things done when using a sequencer-based
rebase (ie. `rebase -i', `rebase -r', or `rebase -m') is to make a todo
list. This requires knowledge of the commit range to rebase. To get
the oid of the last commit of the range, the tip of the branch to rebase
is checked out with prepare_branch_to_be_rebased(), then the oid of the
head is read. After this, the tip of the branch is not even modified.
The `am' backend, on the other hand, does not check out the branch.
On big repositories, it's a performance penalty: with `rebase -i', the
user may have to wait before editing the todo list while git is
extracting the branch silently, and "quiet" rebases will be slower than
`am'.
Since we already have the oid of the tip of the branch in
`opts->orig_head', it's useless to switch to this commit.
This removes the call to prepare_branch_to_be_rebased() in
do_interactive_rebase(), and adds a `orig_head' parameter to
get_revision_ranges(). prepare_branch_to_be_rebased() is removed as it
is no longer used.
This introduces a visible change: as we do not switch on the tip of the
branch to rebase, no reflog entry is created at the beginning of the
rebase for it.
Unscientific performance measurements, performed on linux.git, are as
follow:
Before this patch:
$ time git rebase -m --onto v4.18

that a previously unambiguous short commit ID could become ambiguous
*during* a rebase.
In
75c69766554 (rebase -i: fix short SHA-1 collision, 2013-08-23), we
fixed that problem simply by writing out the todo list with expanded
commit IDs (except *right* before letting the user edit the todo list,
in which case we shorten them, but we expand them right after the file
was edited).
However, the bug resurfaced as a side effect of
393adf7a6f6 (sequencer:
directly call pick_commits() from complete_action(), 2019-11-24): as of
this commit, the sequencer no longer re-reads the todo list after
writing it out with expanded commit IDs.
The only redeeming factor is that the todo list is already parsed at
that stage, including all the commits corresponding to the commands,
therefore the sequencer can continue even if the internal todo list has
short commit IDs.
That does not prevent problems, though: the sequencer writes out the
`done` and `git-rebase-todo` files incrementally (i.e. overwriting the
todo list with a version that has _short_ commit IDs), and if a merge
conflict happens, or if an `edit` or a `break` command is encountered, a
subsequent `git rebase --continue` _will_ re-read the todo list, opening
an opportunity for the "short SHA-1 collision" bug again.
To avoid that, let's make sure that we do expand the commit IDs in the
todo list as soon as we have parsed it after letting the user edit it.
Additionally, we improve the 'short SHA-1 collide' test case in t3404 to
test specifically for the case where the rebase is resumed. We also
hard-code the expected colliding short SHA-1s, to document the
expectation (and to make it easier on future readers).
Note that we specifically test that the short commit ID is used in the
`git-rebase-todo.tmp` file: this file is created by the fake editor in
the test script and reflects the state that would have been presented to
the user to edit.

pack-objects: improve partial packfile reuse
The old code to reuse deltas from an existing packfile
just tried to dump a whole segment of the pack verbatim.
That's faster than the traditional way of actually adding
objects to the packing list, but it didn't kick in very
often. This new code is really going for a middle ground:
do _some_ per-object work, but way less than we'd
traditionally do.
The general strategy of the new code is to make a bitmap
of objects from the packfile we'll include, and then
iterate over it, writing out each object exactly as it is
in our on-disk pack, but _not_ adding it to our packlist
(which costs memory, and increases the search space for
deltas).
One complication is that if we're omitting some objects,
we can't set a delta against a base that we're not
sending. So we have to check each object in
try_partial_reuse() to make sure we have its delta.
About performance, in the worst case we might have
interleaved objects that we are sending or not sending,
and we'd have as many chunks as objects. But in practice
we send big chunks.
For instance, packing torvalds/linux on GitHub servers
now reused 6.5M objects, but only needed ~50k chunks.

pack-bitmap: uninteresting oid can be outside bitmapped packfile
bitmap_has_oid_in_uninteresting() only used bitmap_position_packfile(),
not bitmap_position(). So it wouldn't find objects which weren't in the
bitmapped packfile (i.e., ones where we extended the bitmap to handle
loose objects, or objects in other packs).
As we could reuse a delta against such an object it is suboptimal not
to use bitmap_position(), so let's use it instead of
bitmap_position_packfile().

submodule.c: use get_git_dir() instead of get_git_common_dir()
Ever since
df56607dff (git-common-dir: make "modules/"
per-working-directory directory, 2014-11-30), submodules in linked worktrees
are cloned to $GIT_DIR/modules, i.e. $GIT_COMMON_DIR/worktrees/<name>/modules.
However, this convention was not followed when the worktree updater commands
checkout, reset and read-tree learned to recurse into submodules. Specifically,
submodule.c::submodule_move_head, introduced in
6e3c1595c6 (update submodules:
add submodule_move_head, 2017-03-14) and submodule.c::submodule_unset_core_worktree,
(re)introduced in
898c2e65b7 (submodule: unset core.worktree if no working tree
is present, 2018-12-14) use get_git_common_dir() instead of get_git_dir()
to get the path of the submodule repository.
This means that, for example, 'git checkout --recurse-submodules <branch>'
in a linked worktree will correctly checkout <branch>, detach the submodule's HEAD
at the commit recorded in <branch> and update the submodule working tree, but the
submodule HEAD that will be moved is the one in $GIT_COMMON_DIR/modules/<name>/,
i.e. the submodule repository of the main superproject working tree.
It will also rewrite the gitfile in the submodule working tree of the linked worktree
to point to $GIT_COMMON_DIR/modules/<name>/.
This leads to an incorrect (and confusing!) state in the submodule working tree
of the main superproject worktree.
Additionally, if switching to a commit where the submodule is not present,
submodule_unset_core_worktree will be called and will incorrectly remove
'core.wortree' from the config file of the submodule in the main superproject worktree,
$GIT_COMMON_DIR/modules/<name>/config.
Fix this by constructing the path to the submodule repository using get_git_dir()
in both submodule_move_head and submodule_unset_core_worktree.

doc: dissuade users from trying to ignore tracked files
It is quite common for users to want to ignore the changes to a file
that Git tracks. Common scenarios for this case are IDE settings and
configuration files, which should generally not be tracked and possibly
generated from tracked files using a templating mechanism.
However, users learn about the assume-unchanged and skip-worktree bits
and try to use them to do this anyway. This is problematic, because
when these bits are set, many operations behave as the user expects, but
they usually do not help when git checkout needs to replace a file.
There is no sensible behavior in this case, because sometimes the data
is precious, such as certain configuration files, and sometimes it is
irrelevant data that the user would be happy to discard.
Since this is not a supported configuration and users are prone to
misuse the existing features for unintended purposes, causing general
sadness and confusion, let's document the existing behavior and the
pitfalls in the documentation for git update-index so that users know
they should explore alternate solutions.

fetch: document and test --refmap=""
To prevent long blocking time during a 'git fetch' call, a user
may want to set up a schedule for background 'git fetch' processes.
However, these runs will update the refs/remotes branches due to
the default refspec set in the config when Git adds a remote.
Hence the user will not notice when remote refs are updated during
their foreground fetches. In fact, they may _want_ those refs to
stay put so they can work with the refs from their last foreground
fetch call.
This can be accomplished by overriding the configured refspec using
'--refmap=' along with a custom refspec:
git fetch --refmap='' <remote> +refs/heads/*:refs/hidden/<remote>/*
to populate a custom ref space and download a pack of the new
reachable objects. This kind of call allows a few things to happen:
1. We download a new pack if refs have updated.
2. Since the refs/hidden branches exist, GC will not remove the
newly-downloaded data.
3. With fetch.writeCommitGraph enabled, the refs/hidden refs are
used to update the commit-graph file.
To avoid the refs/hidden directory from filling without bound, the
--prune option can be included. When providing a refspec like this,
the --prune option does not delete remote refs and instead only
deletes refs in the target refspace.
Update the documentation to clarify how '--refmap=""' works and
create tests to guarantee this behavior remains in the future.

** Note that in these cases we relied on hyper-threading, and that's
probably why we don't see a big difference in time.
Unfortunately, multithreaded git-grep might be slow in the non-worktree
case when --textconv is used and there're too many text conversions.
Probably the reason for this is that the object read lock is used to
protect fill_textconv() and therefore there is a mutual exclusion
between textconv execution and object reading. Because both are
time-consuming operations, not being able to perform them in parallel
can cause performance drops. To inform the users about this (and other
threading details), let's also add a "NOTES ON THREADS" section to
Documentation/git-grep.txt.

grep: protect packed_git [re-]initialization
Some fields in struct raw_object_store are lazy initialized by the
thread-unsafe packfile.c:prepare_packed_git(). Although this function is
present in the call stack of git-grep threads, all paths to it are
currently protected by obj_read_lock() (and the main thread usually
indirectly calls it before firing the worker threads, anyway). However,
it's possible that future modifications add new unprotected paths to it,
introducing a race condition. Because errors derived from it wouldn't
happen often, it could be hard to detect. So to prevent future
headaches, let's force eager initialization of packed_git when setting
git-grep up. There'll be a small overhead in the cases where we didn't
really need to prepare packed_git during execution but this shouldn't be
very noticeable.
Also, packed_git may be re-initialized by
packfile.c:reprepare_packed_git(). Again, all paths to it in git-grep
are already protected by obj_read_lock() but it may suffer from the same
problem in the future. So let's also internally protect it with
obj_read_lock() (which is a recursive mutex).

grep: allow submodule functions to run in parallel
Now that object reading operations are internally protected, the
submodule initialization functions at builtin/grep.c:grep_submodule()
are very close to being thread-safe. Let's take a look at each call and
remove from the critical section what we can, for better performance:
- submodule_from_path() and is_submodule_active() cannot be called in
parallel yet only because they call repo_read_gitmodules() which
contains, in its call stack, operations that would otherwise be in
race condition with object reading (for example parse_object() and
is_promisor_remote()). However, they only call repo_read_gitmodules()
if it wasn't read before. So let's pre-read it before firing the
threads and allow these two functions to safely be called in
parallel.
- repo_submodule_init() is already thread-safe, so remove it from the
critical section without other necessary changes.
- The repo_read_gitmodules(&subrepo) call at grep_submodule() is safe as
no other thread is performing object reading operations in the subrepo
yet. However, threads might be working in the superproject, and this
function calls add_to_alternates_memory() internally, which is racy
with object readings in the superproject. So it must be kept
protected for now. Let's add a "NEEDSWORK" to it, informing why it
cannot be removed from the critical section yet.
- Finally, add_to_alternates_memory() must be kept protected for the
same reason as the item above.

submodule-config: add skip_if_read option to repo_read_gitmodules()
Currently, submodule-config.c doesn't have an externally accessible
function to read gitmodules only if it wasn't already read. But this
exact behavior is internally implemented by gitmodules_read_check(), to
perform a lazy load. Let's merge this function with
repo_read_gitmodules() adding a 'skip_if_read' which allows both
internal and external callers to access this functionality. This
simplifies a little the code. The added option will also be used in
the following patch.

grep: replace grep_read_mutex by internal obj read lock
git-grep uses 'grep_read_mutex' to protect its calls to object reading
operations. But these have their own internal lock now, which ensures a
better performance (allowing parallel access to more regions). So, let's
remove the former and, instead, activate the latter with
enable_obj_read_lock().
Sections that are currently protected by 'grep_read_mutex' but are not
internally protected by the object reading lock should be surrounded by
obj_read_lock() and obj_read_unlock(). These guarantee mutual exclusion
with object reading operations, keeping the current behavior and
avoiding race conditions. Namely, these places are:
In grep.c:
- fill_textconv() at fill_textconv_grep().
- userdiff_get_textconv() at grep_source_1().
In builtin/grep.c:
- parse_object_or_die() and the submodule functions at
grep_submodule().
- deref_tag() and gitmodules_config_oid() at grep_objects().
If these functions become thread-safe, in the future, we might remove
the locking and probably get some speedup.
Note that some of the submodule functions will already be thread-safe
(or close to being thread-safe) with the internal object reading lock.
However, as some of them will require additional modifications to be
removed from the critical section, this will be done in its own patch.

object-store: allow threaded access to object reading
Allow object reading to be performed by multiple threads protecting it
with an internal lock, the obj_read_mutex. The lock usage can be toggled
with enable_obj_read_lock() and disable_obj_read_lock(). Currently, the
functions which can be safely called in parallel are:
read_object_file_extended(), repo_read_object_file(),
read_object_file(), read_object_with_reference(), read_object(),
oid_object_info() and oid_object_info_extended(). It's also possible
to use obj_read_lock() and obj_read_unlock() to protect other sections
that cannot execute in parallel with object reading.
Probably there are many spots in the functions listed above that could
be executed unlocked (and thus, in parallel). But, for now, we are most
interested in allowing parallel access to zlib inflation. This is one of
the sections where object reading spends most of the time in (e.g. up to
one-third of git-grep's execution time in the chromium repo corresponds
to inflation) and it's already thread-safe. So, to take advantage of
that, the obj_read_mutex is released when calling git_inflate() and
re-acquired right after, for every calling spot in
oid_object_info_extended()'s call chain. We may refine this lock to also
exploit other possible parallel spots in the future, but for now,
threaded zlib inflation should already give great speedups for threaded
object reading callers.
Note that add_delta_base_cache() was also modified to skip adding
already present entries to the cache. This wasn't possible before, but
it would be now, with the parallel inflation. Take for example the
following situation, where two threads - A and B - are executing the
code at unpack_entry():
1. Thread A is performing the decompression of a base O (which is not
yet in the cache) at PHASE II. Thread B is simultaneously trying to
unpack O, but just starting at PHASE I.
2. Since O is not yet in the cache, B will go to PHASE II to also
perform the decompression.
3. When they finish decompressing, one of them will get the object
reading mutex and go to PHASE III while the other waits for the
mutex. Let’s say A got the mutex first.
4. Thread A will add O to the cache, go throughout the rest of PHASE III
and return.
5. Thread B gets the mutex, also add O to the cache (if the check wasn't
there) and returns.
Finally, it is also important to highlight that the object reading lock
can only ensure thread-safety in the mentioned functions thanks to two
complementary mechanisms: the use of 'struct raw_object_store's
replace_mutex, which guards sections in the object reading machinery
that would otherwise be thread-unsafe; and the 'struct pack_window's
inuse_cnt, which protects window reading operations (such as the one
performed during the inflation of a packed object), allowing them to
execute without the acquisition of the obj_read_mutex.

replace-object: make replace operations thread-safe
replace-object functions are very close to being thread-safe: the only
current racy section is the lazy initialization at
prepare_replace_object(). The following patches will protect some object
reading operations to be called threaded, but before that, replace
functions must be protected. To do so, add a mutex to struct
raw_object_store and acquire it before lazy initializing the
replace_map. This won't cause any noticeable performance drop as the
mutex will no longer be used after the replace_map is initialized.
Later, when the replace functions are called in parallel, thread
debuggers might point our use of the added replace_map_initialized flag
as a data race. However, as this boolean variable is initialized as
false and it's only updated once, there's no real harm. It's perfectly
fine if the value is updated right after a thread read it in
replace-map.h:lookup_replace_object() (there'll only be a performance
penalty for the affected threads at that moment). We could cease the
debugger warning protecting the variable reading at the said function.
However, this would negatively affect performance for all threads
calling it, at any time, so it's not really worthy since the warning
doesn't represent a real problem. Instead, to make sure we don't get
false positives (at ThreadSanitizer, at least) an entry for the
respective function is added to .tsan-suppressions.
