The way -lcurl library gets linked has been simplified by taking
advantage of the fact that we can just ask curl-config command how.
* jk/curl-ldflags:
build: link with curl-defined linker flags
Adjusting the build process to rely more on curl-config to populate
linker flags instead of manually populating flags based off detected
features.
Originally, a configure-invoked build would check for SSL-support in the
target curl library. If enabled, NEEDS_SSL_WITH_CURL would be set and
used in the Makefile to append additional libraries to link against. As
for systems building solely with make, the defines NEEDS_IDN_WITH_CURL
and NEEDS_SSL_WITH_CURL could be set to indirectly enable respective
linker flags. Since both configure.ac and Makefile already rely on
curl-config utility to provide curl-related build information, adjusting
the respective assets to populate required linker flags using the
utility (unless explicitly configured).

We no longer use any of MSVCRT's stat-functions, so there's no need to
stick to a CRT-compatible 'struct stat' either.
Define and use our own POSIX-2013-compatible 'struct stat' with nanosecond-
precision file times.
Note: This can cause performance issues when using Git variants with
different file time resolutions, as the timestamps are stored in the Git
index: after updating the index with a Git variant that uses
second-precision file times, a nanosecond-aware Git will think that
pretty much every single file listed in the index is out of date.

Quite some time ago, a last plea to the XP users out there who want to
see Windows XP support in Git for Windows, asking them to get engaged
and help, vanished into the depths of the universe.
We tried for a long time to play nice with the last remaining XP users
who somehow manage to build Git from source, but a recent update of
mingw-w64 (7.0.0.5233.e0c09544 -> 7.0.0.5245.edf66197) finally dropped
the last sign of XP support, and Git for Windows' SDK is no longer able
to build core Git's `master` branch as a consequence. (Git for Windows'
`master` branch already bumped the minimum Windows version to Vista a
while ago, so it is fine.)
It is time to require Windows Vista or later to build Git from source.
This, incidentally, lets us use quite a few nice new APIs.
It also means that we no longer need the inet_pton() and inet_ntop()
emulation, which is nice.

OLD_ICONV has long been needed by FreeBSD so config.mak.uname defines
it unconditionally. However, recent versions do not need it, and its
presence results in compilation warnings. Resolve this issue by defining
OLD_ICONV only for older FreeBSD versions.
Specifically, revision r281550[1], which is part of FreeBSD 11, removed
the need for OLD_ICONV, and r282275[2] back-ported that change to 10.2.
Versions prior to 10.2 do need it.

"git gc" in a large repository takes a lot of time as it considers
to repack all objects into one pack by default. The command has
been taught to pretend as if the largest existing packfile is
marked with ".keep" so that it is left untouched while objects in
other packs and loose ones are repacked.
* nd/repack-keep-pack:
pack-objects: show some progress when counting kept objects
gc --auto: exclude base pack if not enough mem to "repack -ad"
gc: handle a corner case in gc.bigPackThreshold
gc: add gc.bigPackThreshold config
gc: add --keep-largest-pack option
repack: add --keep-pack option
t7700: have closing quote of a test at the beginning of line
pack-objects could be a big memory hog especially on large repos,
everybody knows that. The suggestion to stick a .keep file on the
giant base pack to avoid this problem is also known for a long time.
Recent patches add an option to do just this, but it has to be either
configured or activated manually. This patch lets `git gc --auto`
activate this mode automatically when it thinks `repack -ad` will use
a lot of memory and start affecting the system due to swapping or
flushing OS cache.
gc --auto decides to do this based on an estimation of pack-objects
memory usage, which is quite accurate at least for the heap part, and
whether that fits in half of system memory (the assumption here is for
desktop environment where there are many other applications running).
This mechanism only kicks in if gc.bigBasePackThreshold is not configured.
If it is, it is assumed that the user already knows what they want.

Keep a copy of the `packed-refs` file contents in memory for as long
as a `packed_ref_cache` object is in use:
* If the system allows it, keep the `packed-refs` file mmapped.
* If not (either because the system doesn't support `mmap()` at all,
or because a file that is currently mmapped cannot be replaced via
`rename()`), then make a copy of the file's contents in
heap-allocated space, and keep that around instead.
We base the choice of behavior on a new build-time switch,
`MMAP_PREVENTS_DELETE`. By default, this switch is set for Windows
variants.
After this commit, `MMAP_NONE` and `MMAP_TEMPORARY` are still handled
identically. But the next commit will introduce a difference.
This whole change is still pointless, because we only read the
`packed-refs` file contents immediately after instantiating the
`packed_ref_cache`. But that will soon change.

On Cygwin, similar to Windows, "git push //server/share/repository"
ought to mean a repository on a network share that can be accessed
locally, but this did not work correctly due to stripping the double
slashes at the beginning.
This may need to be heavily tested before it gets unleashed to the
wild, as the change is at a fairly low-level code and would affect
not just the code to decide if the push destination is local. There
may be unexpected fallouts in the path normalization.

cygwin can use an UNC path like //server/share/repo
$ cd //server/share/dir
$ mkdir test

However, when we try to push from a local Git repository to this repo,
there is a problem: Git converts the leading "//" into a single "/".
As cygwin handles an UNC path so well, Git can support them better:
- Introduce cygwin_offset_1st_component() which keeps the leading "//",
similar to what Git for Windows does.
- Move CYGWIN out of the POSIX in the tests for path normalization in t0060

Amend my change earlier in this series ("grep: add support for the
PCRE v1 JIT API", 2017-04-11) to un-break the build on PCRE v1
versions later than 8.31 compiled without --enable-jit.
As explained in that change and a later compatibility change in this
series ("grep: un-break building with PCRE < 8.32", 2017-05-10) the
pcre_jit_exec() function is a faster path to execute the JIT.
Unfortunately there's no compatibility stub for that function compiled
into the library if pcre_config(PCRE_CONFIG_JIT, &ret) would return 0,
and no macro that can be used to check for it, so the only portable
option to support builds without --enable-jit is via a new
NO_LIBPCRE1_JIT=UnfortunatelyYes Makefile option[1].
Another option would be to make the JIT opt-in via
USE_LIBPCRE1_JIT=YesPlease, after all it's not a default option of
PCRE v1.
I think it makes more sense to make it opt-out since even though it's
not a default option, most packagers of PCRE seem to turn it on by
default, with the notable exception of the MinGW package.
Make the MinGW platform work by default by changing the build defaults
to turn on NO_LIBPCRE1_JIT=UnfortunatelyYes. It is the only platform
that turns on USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease by default, see commit

support the Intel hardware acceleration features. See:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/improving-openssl-performancehttps://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-sha-extensions
To test this I added/staged a single file in a gigantic
repository having a 450MB index file. The code in read-cache.c
verifies the header SHA as it reads the index and computes a new
header SHA as it writes out the new index. Therefore, in this test
the SHA code must process 900MB of data. Testing was done on an
Intel I7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz (Intel64, Family 6, Model 60) CPU.
The block-sha1 version averaged 5.27 seconds.
The OpenSSL version averaged 4.50 seconds.

The xdiff code hashes every line of both sides of a diff,
and then compares those hashes to find duplicates. The
overall performance depends both on how fast we can compute
the hashes, but also on how many hash collisions we see.
The idea of XDL_FAST_HASH is to speed up the hash
computation. But the generated hashes have worse collision
behavior. This means that in some cases it speeds diffs up
(running "git log -p" on git.git improves by ~8% with it),
but in others it can slow things down. One pathological case
saw over a 100x slowdown[1].
There may be a better hash function that covers both
properties, but in the meantime we are better off with the
original hash. It's slightly slower in the common case, but
it has fewer surprising pathological cases.

MSYS2 emulates pseudo terminals via named pipes, and isatty() returns 0
for such file descriptors. Therefore, some interactive functionality
(such as launching a pager, asking if a failed unlink should be repeated
etc.) doesn't work when run in a terminal emulator that uses MSYS2's
ptys (such as mintty).
However, MSYS2 uses special names for its pty pipes ('msys-*-pty*'),
which allows us to distinguish them from normal piped input / output.
On startup, check if stdin / stdout / stderr are connected to such pipes
using the NtQueryObject API from NTDll.dll. If the names match, adjust

For a long time, Git for Windows lagged behind Git's 2.x releases because
the Git for Windows developers wanted to let that big jump coincide with
a well-needed jump away from MSys to MSys2.
To understand why this is such a big issue, it needs to be noted that
many parts of Git are not written in portable C, but instead Git relies
on a POSIX shell and Perl to be available.
To support the scripts, Git for Windows has to ship a minimal POSIX
emulation layer with Bash and Perl thrown in, and when the Git for
Windows effort started in August 2007, this developer settled on using
MSys, a stripped down version of Cygwin. Consequently, the original name
of the project was "msysGit" (which, sadly, caused a *lot* of confusion
because few Windows users know about MSys, and even less care).
To compile the C code of Git for Windows, MSys was used, too: it sports
two versions of the GNU C Compiler: one that links implicitly to the
POSIX emulation layer, and another one that targets the plain Win32 API
(with a few convenience functions thrown in). Git for Windows'
executables are built using the latter, and therefore they are really
just Win32 programs. To discern executables requiring the POSIX
emulation layer from the ones that do not, the latter are called MinGW
(Minimal GNU for Windows) when the former are called MSys executables.
This reliance on MSys incurred challenges, too, though: some of our
changes to the MSys runtime -- necessary to support Git for Windows
better -- were not accepted upstream, so we had to maintain our own
fork. Also, the MSys runtime was not developed further to support e.g.
UTF-8 or 64-bit, and apart from lacking a package management system
until much later (when mingw-get was introduced), many packages provided
by the MSys/MinGW project lag behind the respective source code
versions, in particular Bash and OpenSSL. For a while, the Git for
Windows project tried to remedy the situation by trying to build newer
versions of those packages, but the situation quickly became untenable,
especially with problems like the Heartbleed bug requiring swift action
that has nothing to do with developing Git for Windows further.
Happily, in the meantime the MSys2 project (https://msys2.github.io/)
emerged, and was chosen to be the base of the Git for Windows 2.x. Just
like MSys, MSys2 is a stripped down version of Cygwin, but it is
actively kept up-to-date with Cygwin's source code. Thereby, it already
supports Unicode internally, and it also offers the 64-bit support that
we yearned for since the beginning of the Git for Windows project.
MSys2 also ported the Pacman package management system from Arch Linux
and uses it heavily. This brings the same convenience to which Linux
users are used to from `yum` or `apt-get`, and to which MacOSX users are
used to from Homebrew or MacPorts, or BSD users from the Ports system,
to MSys2: a simple `pacman -Syu` will update all installed packages to
the newest versions currently available.
MSys2 is also *very* active, typically providing package updates
multiple times per week.
It still required a two-month effort to bring everything to a state
where Git's test suite passes, many more months until the first official
Git for Windows 2.x was released, and a couple of patches still await
their submission to the respective upstream projects. Yet without MSys2,
the modernization of Git for Windows would simply not have happened.
This commit lays the ground work to supporting MSys2-based Git builds.

Now that fsck has dropped its inode-sorting, there are no
longer any users of this knob, and it can go away.

This is necessary to use Git on Windows shared directories, and is
already enabled for the MinGW and plain Windows builds.
This problem was reported on the Cygwin mailing list at
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-08/msg00102.html (amongst others)
and is being applied as a manual patch to the Cygwin builds until
the patch is taken here.

On Mac OS X, getdelim() first became available with Xcode 4.1[1], which
was released the same day as OS X 10.7 "Lion", so assume getdelim()
availability from 10.7 onward. (As of this writing, OS X is at 10.10
"Yosemite".)
According to Wikipedia[2], 4.1 was also available for download by paying
developers on OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard", so it's possible that some 10.6
machines may have getdelim(). However, as strbuf's use of getdelim() is
purely an optimization, let's be conservative and assume 10.6 and
earlier lack getdelim().
[1]: Or, possibly with Xcode 4.0, but that version is no longer
available for download, or not available to non-paying developers,
so testing is not possible.

We spend a lot of time in strbuf_getwholeline in a tight
loop reading characters from a stdio handle into a buffer.
The libc getdelim() function can do this for us with less
overhead. It's in POSIX.1-2008, and was a GNU extension
before that. Therefore we can't rely on it, but can fall
back to the existing getc loop when it is not available.
The HAVE_GETDELIM knob is turned on automatically for Linux,
where we have glibc. We don't need to set any new
feature-test macros, because we already define _GNU_SOURCE.
Other systems that implement getdelim may need to other
macros (probably _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L), but we can
address that along with setting the Makefile knob after
testing the feature on those systems.
Running "git rev-parse refs/heads/does-not-exist" on a repo
with an extremely large (1.6GB) packed-refs file went from
(best-of-5):
real 0m8.601s
user 0m8.084s
sys 0m0.524s
to:
real 0m6.768s
user 0m6.340s
sys 0m0.432s
for a wall-clock speedup of 21%.

On BSD-compatible systems some information such as the number
of available CPUs may only be available via the sysctl function.
Add support for a HAVE_BSD_SYSCTL option complete with autoconf
support and include the sys/syctl.h header when the option is
enabled to make the sysctl function available.

Set or clear Makefile variables HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME and
HAVE_CLOCK_MONOTONIC based upon results of the checks (overriding
default values from config.mak.uname).
CLOCK_MONOTONIC isn't available on RHEL3, but there are still RHEL3
systems being used in production.
