run-command: add an asynchronous parallel child processor This allows to run external commands in parallel with ordered output on stderr. If we run external commands in parallel we cannot pipe the output directly to the our stdout/err as it would mix up. So each process's output will flow through a pipe, which we buffer. One subprocess can be directly piped to out stdout/err for a low latency feedback to the user. Example: Let's assume we have 5 submodules A,B,C,D,E and each fetch takes a different amount of time as the different submodules vary in size, then the output of fetches in sequential order might look like this: time --> output: |---A---| |-B-| |-------C-------| |-D-| |-E-| When we schedule these submodules into maximal two parallel processes, a schedule and sample output over time may look like this: process 1: |---A---| |-D-| |-E-| process 2: |-B-| |-------C-------| output: |---A---|B|---C-------|DE So A will be perceived as it would run normally in the single child version. As B has finished by the time A is done, we can dump its whole progress buffer on stderr, such that it looks like it finished in no time. Once that is done, C is determined to be the visible child and its progress will be reported in real time. So this way of output is really good for human consumption, as it only changes the timing, not the actual output. For machine consumption the output needs to be prepared in the tasks, by either having a prefix per line or per block to indicate whose tasks output is displayed, because the output order may not follow the original sequential ordering: |----A----| |--B--| |-C-| will be scheduled to be all parallel: process 1: |----A----| process 2: |--B--| process 3: |-C-| output: |----A----|CB This happens because C finished before B did, so it will be queued for output before B. To detect when a child has finished executing, we check interleaved with other actions (such as checking the liveliness of children or starting new processes) whether the stderr pipe still exists. Once a child closed its stderr stream, we assume it is terminating very soon, and use `finish_command()` from the single external process execution interface to collect the exit status. By maintaining the strong assumption of stderr being open until the very end of a child process, we can avoid other hassle such as an implementation using `waitpid(-1)`, which is not implemented in Windows.

pager: don't use unsafe functions in signal handlers Since the commit a3da8821208d (pager: do wait_for_pager on signal death), we call wait_for_pager() in the pager's signal handler. The recent bug report revealed that this causes a deadlock in glibc at aborting "git log" [*1*]. When this happens, git process is left unterminated, and it can't be killed by SIGTERM but only by SIGKILL. The problem is that wait_for_pager() function does more than waiting for pager process's termination, but it does cleanups and printing errors. Unfortunately, the functions that may be used in a signal handler are very limited [*2*]. Particularly, malloc(), free() and the variants can't be used in a signal handler because they take a mutex internally in glibc. This was the cause of the deadlock above. Other than the direct calls of malloc/free, many functions calling malloc/free can't be used. strerror() is such one, either. Also the usage of fflush() and printf() in a signal handler is bad, although it seems working so far. In a safer side, we should avoid them, too. This patch tries to reduce the calls of such functions in signal handlers. wait_for_signal() takes a flag and avoids the unsafe calls. Also, finish_command_in_signal() is introduced for the same reason. There the free() calls are removed, and only waits for the children without whining at errors.

Windows: avoid the "dup dance" when spawning a child process When stdin, stdout, or stderr must be redirected for a child process that on Windows is spawned using one of the spawn() functions of Microsoft's C runtime, then there is no choice other than to 1. make a backup copy of fd 0,1,2 with dup 2. dup2 the redirection source fd into 0,1,2 3. spawn 4. dup2 the backup back into 0,1,2 5. close the backup copy and the redirection source We used this idiom as well -- but we are not using the spawn() functions anymore! Instead, we have our own implementation. We had hardcoded that stdin, stdout, and stderr of the child process were inherited from the parent's fds 0, 1, and 2. But we can actually specify any fd. With this patch, the fds to inherit are passed from start_command()'s WIN32 section to our spawn implementation. This way, we can avoid the backup copies of the fds. The backup copies were a bug waiting to surface: The OS handles underlying the dup()ed fds were inherited by the child process (but were not associated with a file descriptor in the child). Consequently, the file or pipe represented by the OS handle remained open even after the backup copy was closed in the parent process until the child exited. Since our implementation of pipe() creates non-inheritable OS handles, we still dup() file descriptors in start_command() because dup() happens to create inheritable duplicates. (A nice side effect is that the fd cleanup in start_command is the same for Windows and Unix and remains unchanged.)

run-command: don't warn on SIGPIPE deaths When git executes a sub-command, we print a warning if the command dies due to a signal, but make an exception for "uninteresting" cases like SIGINT and SIGQUIT (since the user presumably just hit ^C). We should make a similar exception for SIGPIPE, because it's an expected and uninteresting return in most cases; it generally means the user quit the pager before git had finished generating all output. This used to be very hard to trigger in practice, because: 1. We only complain if we see a real SIGPIPE death, not the shell-induced 141 exit code. This means that anything we run via the shell does not trigger the warning, which includes most non-trivial aliases. 2. The common case for SIGPIPE is the user quitting the pager before git has finished generating all output. But if the user triggers a pager with "-p", we redirect the git wrapper's stderr to that pager, too. Since the pager is dead, it means that the message goes nowhere. 3. You can see it if you run your own pager, like "git foo | head". But that only happens if "foo" is a non-builtin (so it doesn't work with "log", for example). However, it may become more common after 86d26f2, which teaches alias to re-exec builtins rather than running them in the same process. This case doesn't trigger (1), as we don't need a shell to run a git command. It doesn't trigger (2), because the pager is not started by the original git, but by the inner re-exec of git. And it doesn't trigger (3), because builtins are treated more like non-builtins in this case. Given how flaky this message already is (e.g., you cannot even know whether you will see it, as git optimizes out some shell invocations behind the scenes based on the contents of the command!), and that it is unlikely to ever provide useful information, let's suppress it for all cases of SIGPIPE.

run-command: encode signal death as a positive integer When a sub-command dies due to a signal, we encode the signal number into the numeric exit status as "signal - 128". This is easy to identify (versus a regular positive error code), and when cast to an unsigned integer (e.g., by feeding it to exit), matches what a POSIX shell would return when reporting a signal death in $? or through its own exit code. So we have a negative value inside the code, but once it passes across an exit() barrier, it looks positive (and any code we receive from a sub-shell will have the positive form). E.g., death by SIGPIPE (signal 13) will look like -115 to us in inside git, but will end up as 141 when we call exit() with it. And a program killed by SIGPIPE but run via the shell will come to us with an exit code of 141. Unfortunately, this means that when the "use_shell" option is set, we need to be on the lookout for _both_ forms. We might or might not have actually invoked the shell (because we optimize out some useless shell calls). If we didn't invoke the shell, we will will see the sub-process's signal death directly, and run-command converts it into a negative value. But if we did invoke the shell, we will see the shell's 128+signal exit status. To be thorough, we would need to check both, or cast the value to an unsigned char (after checking that it is not -1, which is a magic error value). Fortunately, most callsites do not care at all whether the exit was from a code or from a signal; they merely check for a non-zero status, and sometimes propagate the error via exit(). But for the callers that do care, we can make life slightly easier by just using the consistent positive form. This actually fixes two minor bugs: 1. In launch_editor, we check whether the editor died from SIGINT or SIGQUIT. But we checked only the negative form, meaning that we would fail to notice a signal death exit code which was propagated through the shell. 2. In handle_alias, we assume that a negative return value from run_command means that errno tells us something interesting (like a fork failure, or ENOENT). Otherwise, we simply propagate the exit code. Negative signal death codes confuse us, and we print a useless "unable to run alias 'foo': Success" message. By encoding signal deaths using the positive form, the existing code just propagates it as it would a normal non-zero exit code. The downside is that callers of run_command can no longer differentiate between a signal received directly by the sub-process, and one propagated. However, no caller currently cares, and since we already optimize out some calls to the shell under the hood, that distinction is not something that should be relied upon by callers. Fix the same logic in t/test-terminal.perl for consistency [jc: raised by Jonathan in the discussion].

run_command: report system call errors instead of returning error codes The motivation for this change is that system call failures are serious errors that should be reported to the user, but only few callers took the burden to decode the error codes that the functions returned into error messages. If at all, then only an unspecific error message was given. A prominent example is this: $ git upload-pack . | : fatal: unable to run 'git-upload-pack' In this example, git-upload-pack, the external command invoked through the git wrapper, dies due to SIGPIPE, but the git wrapper does not bother to report the real cause. In fact, this very error message is copied to the syslog if git-daemon's client aborts the connection early. With this change, system call failures are reported immediately after the failure and only a generic failure code is returned to the caller. In the above example the error is now to the point: $ git upload-pack . | : error: git-upload-pack died of signal Note that there is no error report if the invoked program terminated with a non-zero exit code, because it is reasonable to expect that the invoked program has already reported an error.

run_command: report system call errors instead of returning error codes The motivation for this change is that system call failures are serious errors that should be reported to the user, but only few callers took the burden to decode the error codes that the functions returned into error messages. If at all, then only an unspecific error message was given. A prominent example is this: $ git upload-pack . | : fatal: unable to run 'git-upload-pack' In this example, git-upload-pack, the external command invoked through the git wrapper, dies due to SIGPIPE, but the git wrapper does not bother to report the real cause. In fact, this very error message is copied to the syslog if git-daemon's client aborts the connection early. With this change, system call failures are reported immediately after the failure and only a generic failure code is returned to the caller. In the above example the error is now to the point: $ git upload-pack . | : error: git-upload-pack died of signal Note that there is no error report if the invoked program terminated with a non-zero exit code, because it is reasonable to expect that the invoked program has already reported an error.

notice error exit from pager If the pager fails to run, git produces no output, e.g.: $ GIT_PAGER=not-a-command git log The error reporting fails for two reasons: (1) start_command: There is a mechanism that detects errors during execvp introduced in 2b541bf8 (start_command: detect execvp failures early). The child writes one byte to a pipe only if execvp fails. The parent waits for either EOF, when the successful execvp automatically closes the pipe (see FD_CLOEXEC in fcntl(1)), or it reads a single byte, in which case it knows that the execvp failed. This mechanism is incompatible with the workaround introduced in 35ce8622 (pager: Work around window resizing bug in 'less'), which waits for input from the parent before the exec. Since both the parent and the child are waiting for input from each other, that would result in a deadlock. In order to avoid that, the mechanism is disabled by closing the child_notifier file descriptor. (2) finish_command: The parent correctly detects the 127 exit status from the child, but the error output goes nowhere, since by that time it is already being redirected to the child. No simple solution for (1) comes to mind. Number (2) can be solved by not sending error output to the pager. Not redirecting error output to the pager can result in the pager overwriting error output with standard output, however. Since there is no reliable way to handle error reporting in the parent, produce the output in the child instead.

pager: don't use unsafe functions in signal handlers Since the commit a3da8821208d (pager: do wait_for_pager on signal death), we call wait_for_pager() in the pager's signal handler. The recent bug report revealed that this causes a deadlock in glibc at aborting "git log" [*1*]. When this happens, git process is left unterminated, and it can't be killed by SIGTERM but only by SIGKILL. The problem is that wait_for_pager() function does more than waiting for pager process's termination, but it does cleanups and printing errors. Unfortunately, the functions that may be used in a signal handler are very limited [*2*]. Particularly, malloc(), free() and the variants can't be used in a signal handler because they take a mutex internally in glibc. This was the cause of the deadlock above. Other than the direct calls of malloc/free, many functions calling malloc/free can't be used. strerror() is such one, either. Also the usage of fflush() and printf() in a signal handler is bad, although it seems working so far. In a safer side, we should avoid them, too. This patch tries to reduce the calls of such functions in signal handlers. wait_for_signal() takes a flag and avoids the unsafe calls. Also, finish_command_in_signal() is introduced for the same reason. There the free() calls are removed, and only waits for the children without whining at errors.

Windows: avoid the "dup dance" when spawning a child process When stdin, stdout, or stderr must be redirected for a child process that on Windows is spawned using one of the spawn() functions of Microsoft's C runtime, then there is no choice other than to 1. make a backup copy of fd 0,1,2 with dup 2. dup2 the redirection source fd into 0,1,2 3. spawn 4. dup2 the backup back into 0,1,2 5. close the backup copy and the redirection source We used this idiom as well -- but we are not using the spawn() functions anymore! Instead, we have our own implementation. We had hardcoded that stdin, stdout, and stderr of the child process were inherited from the parent's fds 0, 1, and 2. But we can actually specify any fd. With this patch, the fds to inherit are passed from start_command()'s WIN32 section to our spawn implementation. This way, we can avoid the backup copies of the fds. The backup copies were a bug waiting to surface: The OS handles underlying the dup()ed fds were inherited by the child process (but were not associated with a file descriptor in the child). Consequently, the file or pipe represented by the OS handle remained open even after the backup copy was closed in the parent process until the child exited. Since our implementation of pipe() creates non-inheritable OS handles, we still dup() file descriptors in start_command() because dup() happens to create inheritable duplicates. (A nice side effect is that the fd cleanup in start_command is the same for Windows and Unix and remains unchanged.)

run_command: report system call errors instead of returning error codes The motivation for this change is that system call failures are serious errors that should be reported to the user, but only few callers took the burden to decode the error codes that the functions returned into error messages. If at all, then only an unspecific error message was given. A prominent example is this: $ git upload-pack . | : fatal: unable to run 'git-upload-pack' In this example, git-upload-pack, the external command invoked through the git wrapper, dies due to SIGPIPE, but the git wrapper does not bother to report the real cause. In fact, this very error message is copied to the syslog if git-daemon's client aborts the connection early. With this change, system call failures are reported immediately after the failure and only a generic failure code is returned to the caller. In the above example the error is now to the point: $ git upload-pack . | : error: git-upload-pack died of signal Note that there is no error report if the invoked program terminated with a non-zero exit code, because it is reasonable to expect that the invoked program has already reported an error. (But many run_command call sites nevertheless write a generic error message.) There was one special return code that was used to identify the case where run_command failed because the requested program could not be exec'd. This special case is now treated like a system call failure with errno set to ENOENT. No error is reported in this case, because the call site in git.c expects this as a normal result. Therefore, the callers that carefully decoded the return value still check for this condition. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Windows: avoid the "dup dance" when spawning a child process When stdin, stdout, or stderr must be redirected for a child process that on Windows is spawned using one of the spawn() functions of Microsoft's C runtime, then there is no choice other than to 1. make a backup copy of fd 0,1,2 with dup 2. dup2 the redirection source fd into 0,1,2 3. spawn 4. dup2 the backup back into 0,1,2 5. close the backup copy and the redirection source We used this idiom as well -- but we are not using the spawn() functions anymore! Instead, we have our own implementation. We had hardcoded that stdin, stdout, and stderr of the child process were inherited from the parent's fds 0, 1, and 2. But we can actually specify any fd. With this patch, the fds to inherit are passed from start_command()'s WIN32 section to our spawn implementation. This way, we can avoid the backup copies of the fds. The backup copies were a bug waiting to surface: The OS handles underlying the dup()ed fds were inherited by the child process (but were not associated with a file descriptor in the child). Consequently, the file or pipe represented by the OS handle remained open even after the backup copy was closed in the parent process until the child exited. Since our implementation of pipe() creates non-inheritable OS handles, we still dup() file descriptors in start_command() because dup() happens to create inheritable duplicates. (A nice side effect is that the fd cleanup in start_command is the same for Windows and Unix and remains unchanged.)

pager: don't use unsafe functions in signal handlers Since the commit a3da8821208d (pager: do wait_for_pager on signal death), we call wait_for_pager() in the pager's signal handler. The recent bug report revealed that this causes a deadlock in glibc at aborting "git log" [*1*]. When this happens, git process is left unterminated, and it can't be killed by SIGTERM but only by SIGKILL. The problem is that wait_for_pager() function does more than waiting for pager process's termination, but it does cleanups and printing errors. Unfortunately, the functions that may be used in a signal handler are very limited [*2*]. Particularly, malloc(), free() and the variants can't be used in a signal handler because they take a mutex internally in glibc. This was the cause of the deadlock above. Other than the direct calls of malloc/free, many functions calling malloc/free can't be used. strerror() is such one, either. Also the usage of fflush() and printf() in a signal handler is bad, although it seems working so far. In a safer side, we should avoid them, too. This patch tries to reduce the calls of such functions in signal handlers. wait_for_signal() takes a flag and avoids the unsafe calls. Also, finish_command_in_signal() is introduced for the same reason. There the free() calls are removed, and only waits for the children without whining at errors.

run-command: use thread-aware die_is_recursing routine If we die from an async thread, we do not actually exit the program, but just kill the thread. This confuses the static counter in usage.c's default die_is_recursing function; it updates the counter once for the thread death, and then when the main program calls die() itself, it erroneously thinks we are recursing. The end result is that we print "recursion detected in die handler" instead of the real error in such a case (the easiest way to trigger this is having a remote connection hang up while running a sideband demultiplexer). This patch solves it by using a per-thread counter when the async_die function is installed; we detect recursion in each thread (including the main one), but they do not step on each other's toes. Other threaded code does not need to worry about this, as they do not install specialized die handlers; they just let a die() from a sub-thread take down the whole program. Since we are overriding the default recursion-check function, there is an interesting corner case that is not a problem, but bears some explanation. Imagine the main thread calls die(), and then in the die_routine starts an async call. We will switch to using thread-local storage, which starts at 0, for the main thread's counter, even though the original counter was actually at 1. That's OK, though, for two reasons: 1. It would miss only the first level of recursion, and would still find recursive failures inside the async helper. 2. We do not currently and are not likely to start doing anything as heavyweight as starting an async routine from within a die routine or helper function.

run-command: teach async threads to ignore SIGPIPE Async processes can be implemented as separate forked processes, or as threads (depending on the NO_PTHREADS setting). In the latter case, if an async thread gets SIGPIPE, it takes down the whole process. This is obviously bad if the main process was not otherwise going to die, but even if we were going to die, it means the main process does not have a chance to report a useful error message. There's also the small matter that forked async processes will not take the main process down on a signal, meaning git will behave differently depending on the NO_PTHREADS setting. This patch fixes it by adding a new flag to "struct async" to block SIGPIPE just in the async thread. In theory, this should always be on (which makes async threads behave more like async processes), but we would first want to make sure that each async process we spawn is careful about checking return codes from write() and would not spew endlessly into a dead pipe. So let's start with it as optional, and we can enable it for specific sites in future patches. The natural name for this option would be "ignore_sigpipe", since that's what it does for the threaded case. But since that name might imply that we are ignoring it in all cases (including the separate-process one), let's call it "isolate_sigpipe". What we are really asking for is isolation. I.e., not to have our main process taken down by signals spawned by the async process. How that is implemented is up to the run-command code.

write_or_die: handle EPIPE in async threads When write_or_die() sees EPIPE, it treats it specially by converting it into a SIGPIPE death.

Our raised signal ends up killing the whole process, when logically we just need to kill the thread (after all, if we are ignoring SIGPIPE, there is good reason to think that the main thread is expecting to handle it). Inside an async thread, the die() code already does the right thing, because we use our custom die_async() routine, which calls pthread_join(). So ideally we would piggy-back on that, and simply call: die_quietly_with_code(141); or similar. But refactoring the die code to do this is surprisingly non-trivial. The die_routines themselves handle both printing and the decision of the exit code. Every one of them would have to be modified to take new parameters for the code, and to tell us to be quiet. Instead, we can just teach write_or_die() to check for the async case and handle it specially. We do have to build an interface to abstract the async exit, but it's simple and self-contained. If we had many call-sites that wanted to do this die_quietly_with_code(), this approach wouldn't scale as well, but we don't. This is the only place where do this weird exit trick.

pager: don't use unsafe functions in signal handlers Since the commit a3da8821208d (pager: do wait_for_pager on signal death), we call wait_for_pager() in the pager's signal handler. The recent bug report revealed that this causes a deadlock in glibc at aborting "git log" [*1*]. When this happens, git process is left unterminated, and it can't be killed by SIGTERM but only by SIGKILL. The problem is that wait_for_pager() function does more than waiting for pager process's termination, but it does cleanups and printing errors. Unfortunately, the functions that may be used in a signal handler are very limited [*2*]. Particularly, malloc(), free() and the variants can't be used in a signal handler because they take a mutex internally in glibc. This was the cause of the deadlock above. Other than the direct calls of malloc/free, many functions calling malloc/free can't be used. strerror() is such one, either. Also the usage of fflush() and printf() in a signal handler is bad, although it seems working so far. In a safer side, we should avoid them, too. This patch tries to reduce the calls of such functions in signal handlers. wait_for_signal() takes a flag and avoids the unsafe calls. Also, finish_command_in_signal() is introduced for the same reason. There the free() calls are removed, and only waits for the children without whining at errors.

run-command: add an asynchronous parallel child processor This allows to run external commands in parallel with ordered output on stderr. If we run external commands in parallel we cannot pipe the output directly to the our stdout/err as it would mix up. So each process's output will flow through a pipe, which we buffer. One subprocess can be directly piped to out stdout/err for a low latency feedback to the user. Example: Let's assume we have 5 submodules A,B,C,D,E and each fetch takes a different amount of time as the different submodules vary in size, then the output of fetches in sequential order might look like this: time --> output: |---A---| |-B-| |-------C-------| |-D-| |-E-| When we schedule these submodules into maximal two parallel processes, a schedule and sample output over time may look like this: process 1: |---A---| |-D-| |-E-| process 2: |-B-| |-------C-------| output: |---A---|B|---C-------|DE So A will be perceived as it would run normally in the single child version. As B has finished by the time A is done, we can dump its whole progress buffer on stderr, such that it looks like it finished in no time. Once that is done, C is determined to be the visible child and its progress will be reported in real time. So this way of output is really good for human consumption, as it only changes the timing, not the actual output. For machine consumption the output needs to be prepared in the tasks, by either having a prefix per line or per block to indicate whose tasks output is displayed, because the output order may not follow the original sequential ordering: |----A----| |--B--| |-C-| will be scheduled to be all parallel: process 1: |----A----| process 2: |--B--| process 3: |-C-| output: |----A----|CB This happens because C finished before B did, so it will be queued for output before B. To detect when a child has finished executing, we check interleaved with other actions (such as checking the liveliness of children or starting new processes) whether the stderr pipe still exists. Once a child closed its stderr stream, we assume it is terminating very soon, and use `finish_command()` from the single external process execution interface to collect the exit status. By maintaining the strong assumption of stderr being open until the very end of a child process, we can avoid other hassle such as an implementation using `waitpid(-1)`, which is not implemented in Windows.

For machine consumption the output needs to be prepared in the tasks, by either having a prefix per line or per block to indicate whose tasks output is displayed, because the output order may not follow the original sequential ordering: |----A----| |--B--| |-C-| will be scheduled to be all parallel: process 1: |----A----| process 2: |--B--| process 3: |-C-| output: |----A----|CB This happens because C finished before B did, so it will be queued for output before B. To detect when a child has finished executing, we check interleaved with other actions (such as checking the liveliness of children or starting new processes) whether the stderr pipe still exists. Once a child closed its stderr stream, we assume it is terminating very soon, and use `finish_command()` from the single external process execution interface to collect the exit status. By maintaining the strong assumption of stderr being open until the very end of a child process, we can avoid other hassle such as an implementation using `waitpid(-1)`, which is not implemented in Windows.

run-command: add an asynchronous parallel child processor This allows to run external commands in parallel with ordered output on stderr. If we run external commands in parallel we cannot pipe the output directly to the our stdout/err as it would mix up. So each process's output will flow through a pipe, which we buffer. One subprocess can be directly piped to out stdout/err for a low latency feedback to the user. Example: Let's assume we have 5 submodules A,B,C,D,E and each fetch takes a different amount of time as the different submodules vary in size, then the output of fetches in sequential order might look like this: time --> output: |---A---| |-B-| |-------C-------| |-D-| |-E-| When we schedule these submodules into maximal two parallel processes, a schedule and sample output over time may look like this: process 1: |---A---| |-D-| |-E-| process 2: |-B-| |-------C-------| output: |---A---|B|---C-------|DE So A will be perceived as it would run normally in the single child version. As B has finished by the time A is done, we can dump its whole progress buffer on stderr, such that it looks like it finished in no time. Once that is done, C is determined to be the visible child and its progress will be reported in real time.
