While it makes sense not to inherit stdin from the parent process to
avoid deadlocking, it's not necessary to completely ban stdin to
children. An informed user should be able to configure stdin safely. By
setting `some_child.process.no_stdin=1` before calling `get_next_task()`
we provide a reasonable default behavior but enable users to set up
stdin streaming for themselves during the callback.
`some_child.process.stdout_to_stderr`, however, remains unmodifiable by
`get_next_task()` - the rest of the run_processes_parallel() API depends
on child output in stderr.

Fix typos in code comments which repeat various words. Most of the
cases are simple in that they repeat a word that usually cannot be
repeated in a grammatically correct sentence. Just remove the
incorrectly duplicated word in these cases and rewrap text, if needed.
A tricky case is usage of "that that", which is sometimes grammatically
correct. However, an instance of this in "t7527-builtin-fsmonitor.sh"
doesn't need two words "that", because there is only one daemon being
discussed, so replace the second "that" with "the".

As noted in fd3aaf53f7 (run-command: add an "ungroup" option to
run_process_parallel(), 2022-06-07) which added the "ungroup" passing
it to "run_process_parallel()" via the global
"run_processes_parallel_ungroup" variable was a compromise to get the
smallest possible regression fix for "maint" at the time.
This follow-up to that is a start at passing that parameter and others
via a new "struct run_process_parallel_opts", as the earlier
version[1] of what became fd3aaf53f7 did.
Since we need to change all of the occurrences of "n" to
"opt->SOMETHING" let's take the opportunity and rename the terse "n"
to "processes". We could also have picked "max_processes", "jobs",
"threads" etc., but as the API is named "run_processes_parallel()"
let's go with "processes".
Since the new "run_processes_parallel()" function is able to take an
optional "tr2_category" and "tr2_label" via the struct we can at this
point migrate all of the users of "run_processes_parallel_tr2()" over
to it.
But let's not migrate all the API users yet, only the two users that
passed the "ungroup" parameter via the
"run_processes_parallel_ungroup" global

Use a designated initializer to initialize those parts of pp_init()
that don't need any conditionals for their initialization, this sets
us on a path to pp_init() itself into mostly a validation and
allocation function.
Since we're doing that we can add "const" to some of the members of
the "struct parallel_processes", which helps to clarify and
self-document this code. E.g. we never alter the "data" pointer we
pass t user callbacks, nor (after the preceding change to stop
invoking online_cpus()) do we change "max_processes", the same goes
for the "ungroup" option.
We can also do away with a call to strbuf_init() in favor of macro
initialization, and to rely on other fields being NULL'd or zero'd.
Making members of a struct "const" rather that the pointer to the
struct itself is usually painful, as e.g. it precludes us from
incrementally setting up the structure. In this case we only set it up
with the assignment in run_process_parallel() and pp_init(), and don't
pass the struct pointer around as "const", so making individual
members "const" is worth the potential hassle for extra safety.

When a "jobs = 0" is passed let's BUG() out rather than fall back on
online_cpus(). The default behavior was added when this API was
implemented in c553c72eed (run-command: add an asynchronous parallel
child processor, 2015-12-15).
Most of our code in-tree that scales up to "online_cpus()" by default
calls that function by itself. Keeping this default behavior just for
the sake of two callers means that we'd need to maintain this one spot
where we're second-guessing the config passed down into pp_init().
The preceding commit has an overview of the API callers that passed
"jobs = 0". There were only two of them (actually three, but they
resolved to these two config parsing codepaths).
The "fetch.parallel" caller already had a test for the
"fetch.parallel=0" case added in 0353c68818 (fetch: do not run a
redundant fetch from submodule, 2022-05-16), but there was no such

Make the "n" variable added in c553c72eed (run-command: add an
asynchronous parallel child processor, 2015-12-15) a "size_t". As
we'll see in a subsequent commit we do pass "0" here, but never "jobs
< 0".
We could have made it an "unsigned int", but as we're having to change
this let's not leave another case in the codebase where a size_t and
"unsigned int" size differ on some platforms. In this case it's likely
to never matter, but it's easier to not need to worry about it.
After this and preceding changes:
make run-command.o DEVOPTS=extra-all CFLAGS=-Wno-unused-parameter
Only has one (and new) -Wsigned-compare warning relevant to a
comparison about our "n" or "{nr,max}_processes": About using our
"n" (size_t) in the same expression as online_cpus() (int). A
subsequent commit will adjust & deal with online_cpus() and that
warning.
The only users of the "n" parameter are:
* builtin/fetch.c: defaults to 1, reads from the "fetch.parallel"
config. As seen in the code that parses the config added in
d54dea77db (fetch: let --jobs=<n> parallelize --multiple, too,
2019-10-05) will die if the git_config_int() return value is < 0.
It will however pass us n = 0, as we'll see in a subsequent commit.
* submodule.c: defaults to 1, reads from "submodule.fetchJobs"
config. Read via code originally added in a028a1930c (fetching
submodules: respect `submodule.fetchJobs` config option, 2016-02-29).
It now piggy-backs on the the submodule.fetchJobs code and
validation added in f20e7c1ea2 (submodule: remove
submodule.fetchjobs from submodule-config parsing, 2017-08-02).
Like builtin/fetch.c it will die if the git_config_int() return
value is < 0, but like builtin/fetch.c it will pass us n = 0.
* builtin/submodule--helper.c: defaults to 1. Read via code
originally added in 2335b870fa (submodule update: expose parallelism
to the user, 2016-02-29).
Since f20e7c1ea2 (submodule: remove submodule.fetchjobs from
submodule-config parsing, 2017-08-02) it shares a config parser and
semantics with the submodule.c caller.
* hook.c: hardcoded to 1, see 96e7225b31 (hook: add 'run'
subcommand, 2021-12-22).
* t/helper/test-run-command.c: can be -1 after parsing the arguments,
but will then be overridden to online_cpus() before passing it to
this API. See be5d88e112 (test-tool run-command: learn to run (parts

Change the "run_processes_parallel{,_tr2}()" functions to return void,
instead of int. Ever since c553c72eed (run-command: add an
asynchronous parallel child processor, 2015-12-15) they have
unconditionally returned 0.
To get a "real" return value out of this function the caller needs to
get it via the "task_finished_fn" callback, see the example in hook.c
added in 96e7225b31 (hook: add 'run' subcommand, 2021-12-22).
So the "result = " and "if (!result)" code added to "builtin/fetch.c"
d54dea77db (fetch: let --jobs=<n> parallelize --multiple, too,
2019-10-05) has always been redundant, we always took that "if"
path. Likewise the "ret =" in "t/helper/test-run-command.c" added in
be5d88e112 (test-tool run-command: learn to run (parts of) the
testsuite, 2019-10-04) wasn't used, instead we got the return value
from the "if (suite.failed.nr > 0)" block seen in the context.
Subsequent commits will alter this API interface, getting rid of this
always-zero return value makes it easier to understand those changes.

Our pipe_command() helper lets you both write to and read from a child
process on its stdin/stdout. It's supposed to work without deadlocks
because we use poll() to check when descriptors are ready for reading or
writing. But there's a bug: if both the data to be written and the data
to be read back exceed the pipe buffer, we'll deadlock.
The issue is that the code assumes that if you have, say, a 2MB buffer
to write and poll() tells you that the pipe descriptor is ready for
writing, that calling:
write(cmd->in, buf, 2*1024*1024);
will do a partial write, filling the pipe buffer and then returning what
it did write. And that is what it would do on a socket, but not for a
pipe. When writing to a pipe, at least on Linux, it will block waiting
for the child process to read() more. And now we have a potential
deadlock, because the child may be writing back to us, waiting for us to
read() ourselves.
An easy way to trigger this is:
git -c add.interactive.useBuiltin=true \
-c interactive.diffFilter=cat \
checkout -p HEAD~200
The diff against HEAD~200 will be big, and the filter wants to write all
of it back to us (obviously this is a dummy filter, but in the real
world something like diff-highlight would similarly stream back a big
output).
If you set add.interactive.useBuiltin to false, the problem goes away,
because now we're not using pipe_command() anymore (instead, that part
happens in perl). But this isn't a bug in the interactive code at all.
It's the underlying pipe_command() code which is broken, and has been
all along.
We presumably didn't notice because most calls only do input _or_
output, not both. And the few that do both, like gpg calls, may have
large inputs or outputs, but never both at the same time (e.g., consider
signing, which has a large payload but a small signature comes back).
The obvious fix is to put the descriptor into non-blocking mode, and
indeed, that makes the problem go away. Callers shouldn't need to
care, because they never see the descriptor (they hand us a buffer to
feed into it).
The included test fails reliably on Linux without this patch. Curiously,
it doesn't fail in our Windows CI environment, but has been reported to
do so for individual developers. It should pass in any environment after
this patch (courtesy of the compat/ layers added in the last few
commits).

When write() to a non-blocking pipe fails because the buffer is full,
POSIX says we should see EAGAIN. But our mingw_write() compat layer on
Windows actually returns ENOSPC for this case. This is probably
something we want to correct, but given that we don't plan to use
non-blocking descriptors in a lot of places, we can work around it by
just catching ENOSPC alongside EAGAIN. If we ever do fix mingw_write(),
then this patch can be reverted.
We don't actually use a non-blocking pipe yet, so this is still just
preparation.

If xwrite() sees an EAGAIN response, it will loop forever until the
write succeeds (or encounters a real error). This is due to ef1cf0167a
(xwrite: poll on non-blocking FDs, 2016-06-26), with the idea that we
won't be surprised by a descriptor unexpectedly set as non-blocking.
But that will make things awkward when we do want a non-blocking
descriptor, and a future patch will switch pipe_command() to using one.
In that case, looping on EAGAIN is bad, because the process on the other
end of the pipe may be waiting on us before doing another read() on the
pipe, which would mean we deadlock.
In practice we're not supposed to ever see EAGAIN here, since poll()
will have just told us the descriptor is ready for writing. But our
Windows emulation of poll() will always return "ready" for writing to a
pipe descriptor! This is due to 94f4d01932 (mingw: workaround for hangs
when sending STDIN, 2020-02-17).
Our best bet in that case is to keep handling other descriptors, as any
read() we do may allow the child command to make forward progress (i.e.,
its write() finishes, and then it read()s from its stdin, freeing up
space in the pipe buffer). This means we might busy-loop between poll()
and write() on Windows if the child command is slow to read our input,
but it's much better than the alternative of deadlocking.
In practice, this busy-looping should be rare:
- for small inputs, we'll just write the whole thing in a single
write() anyway, non-blocking or not
- for larger inputs where the child reads input and then processes it
before writing (e.g., gpg verifying a signature), we may make a few
extra write() calls that get EAGAIN during the initial write, but
once it has taken in the whole input, we'll correctly block waiting
to read back the data.
- for larger inputs where the child process is streaming output back
(like a diff filter), we'll likewise see some extra EAGAINs, but
most of them will be followed immediately by a read(), which will
let the child command make forward progress.
Of course it won't happen at all for now, since we don't yet use a
non-blocking pipe. This is just preparation for when we do.

run-command: don't spam trace2_child_exit()
In Git 2.36 we revamped the way how hooks are invoked. One change
that is end-user visible is that the output of a hook is no longer
directly connected to the standard output of "git" that spawns the
hook, which was noticed post release. This is getting corrected.
* ab/hooks-regression-fix:
hook API: fix v2.36.0 regression: hooks should be connected to a TTY
run-command: add an "ungroup" option to run_process_parallel()
In rare cases[1], wait_or_whine() cannot determine a child process's
status (and will return -1 in this case). This can cause Git to issue
trace2 child_exit events despite the fact that the child may still be
running. In pathological cases, we've seen > 80 million exit events in
our trace logs for a single child process.
Fix this by only issuing trace2 events in finish_command_in_signal() if
we get a value other than -1 from wait_or_whine(). This can lead to
missing child_exit events in such a case, but that is preferable to
duplicating events on a scale that threatens to fill the user's
filesystem with invalid trace logs.
[1]: This can happen when:
* waitpid() returns -1 and errno != EINTR
* waitpid() returns an invalid PID
* the status set by waitpid() has neither the WIFEXITED() nor

Extend the parallel execution API added in c553c72eed (run-command:
add an asynchronous parallel child processor, 2015-12-15) to support a
mode where the stdout and stderr of the processes isn't captured and
output in a deterministic order, instead we'll leave it to the kernel
and stdio to sort it out.
This gives the API same functionality as GNU parallel's --ungroup
option. As we'll see in a subsequent commit the main reason to want
this is to support stdout and stderr being connected to the TTY in the
case of jobs=1, demonstrated here with GNU parallel:
$ parallel --ungroup 'test -t {} && echo TTY || echo NTTY' ::: 1 2
TTY
TTY
$ parallel 'test -t {} && echo TTY || echo NTTY' ::: 1 2
NTTY
NTTY
Another is as GNU parallel's documentation notes a potential for
optimization. As demonstrated in next commit our results with "git
hook run" will be similar, but generally speaking this shows that if
you want to run processes in parallel where the exact order isn't
important this can be a lot faster:
$ hyperfine -r 3 -L o ,--ungroup 'parallel {o} seq ::: 10000000 >/dev/null '

Summary
'parallel --ungroup seq ::: 10000000 >/dev/null ' ran
1.42 ± 0.06 times faster than 'parallel seq ::: 10000000 >/dev/null '
A large part of the juggling in the API is to make the API safer for
its maintenance and consumers alike.
For the maintenance of the API we e.g. avoid malloc()-ing the
"pp->pfd", ensuring that SANITIZE=address and other similar tools will
catch any unexpected misuse.
For API consumers we take pains to never pass the non-NULL "out"
buffer to an API user that provided the "ungroup" option. The
resulting code in t/helper/test-run-command.c isn't typical of such a
user, i.e. they'd typically use one mode or the other, and would know
whether they'd provided "ungroup" or not.
We could also avoid the strbuf_init() for "buffered_output" by having
"struct parallel_processes" use a static PARALLEL_PROCESSES_INIT
initializer, but let's leave that cleanup for later.
Using a global "run_processes_parallel_ungroup" variable to enable
this option is rather nasty, but is being done here to produce as
minimal of a change as possible for a subsequent regression fix. This
change is extracted from a larger initial version[1] which ends up
with a better end-state for the API, but in doing so needed to modify
all existing callers of the API. Let's defer that for now, and
narrowly focus on what we need for fixing the regression in the
subsequent commit.
It's safe to do this with a global variable because:
A) hook.c is the only user of it that sets it to non-zero, and before
we'll get any other API users we'll refactor away this method of
passing in the option, i.e. re-roll [1].
B) Even if hook.c wasn't the only user we don't have callers of this
API that concurrently invoke this parallel process starting API
itself in parallel.
As noted above "A" && "B" are rather nasty, and we don't want to live
with those caveats long-term, but for now they should be an acceptable

Follow-up on a preceding commit which changed all references to the
"env_array" when referring to the "struct child_process" member. These
changes are all unnecessary for the compiler, but help the code's
human readers.
All the comments that referred to "env_array" have now been updated,
as well as function names and variables that had "env_array" in their
name, they now refer to "env".
In addition the "out" name for the submodule.h prototype was
inconsistent with the function definition's use of "env_array" in
submodule.c. Both of them use "env" now.

Start following-up on the rename mentioned in c7c4bdeccf (run-command
API: remove "env" member, always use "env_array", 2021-11-25) of
"env_array" to "env".
The "env_array" name was picked in 19a583dc39 (run-command: add
env_array, an optional argv_array for env, 2014-10-19) because "env"
was taken. Let's not forever keep the oddity of "*_array" for this
"struct strvec", but not for its "args" sibling.
This commit is almost entirely made with a coccinelle rule[1]. The
only manual change here is in run-command.h to rename the struct
member itself and to change "env_array" to "env" in the
CHILD_PROCESS_INIT initializer.
The rest of this is all a result of applying [1]:
* make contrib/coccinelle/run_command.cocci.patch
* patch -p1 <contrib/coccinelle/run_command.cocci.patch
* git add -u
1. cat contrib/coccinelle/run_command.pending.cocci

struct child_process E;

- E.env_array
+ E.env
@@

- E->env_array
+ E->env
I've avoided changing any comments and derived variable names here,
that will all be done in the next commit.

Move the post-index-change hook away from run-command.h to and over to
the new hook.h library.
This removes the last direct user of "run_hook_ve()" outside of
run-command.c ("run_hook_le()" still uses it). So we can make the
function static now. A subsequent commit will remove this code
entirely when "run_hook_le()" itself goes away.

The function to cull a child process and determine the exit status
had two separate code paths for normal callers and callers in a
signal handler, and the latter did not yield correct value when the
child has caught a signal. The handling of the exit status has
been unified for these two code paths. An existing test with
flakiness has also been corrected.

Change code that printed its own "fatal: " message and exited with a
status code of 128 to use the die_message() function added in a
preceding commit.
This change also demonstrates why the return value of
die_message_routine() needed to be that of "report_fn". We have
callers such as the run-command.c::child_err_spew() which would like
to replace its error routine with the return value of
"get_die_message_routine()".

Remove the "env" member from "struct child_process" in favor of always
using the "env_array". As with the preceding removal of "argv" in
favor of "args" this gets rid of current and future oddities around
memory management at the API boundary (see the amended API docs).
For some of the conversions we can replace patterns like:
child.env = env->v;
With:
strvec_pushv(&child.env_array, env->v);
But for others we need to guard the strvec_pushv() with a NULL check,
since we're not passing in the "v" member of a "struct strvec",
e.g. in the case of tmp_objdir_env()'s return value.
Ideally we'd rename the "env_array" member to simply "env" as a
follow-up, since it and "args" are now inconsistent in not having an
"_array" suffix, and seemingly without any good reason, unless we look
at the history of how they came to be.
But as we've currently got 122 in-tree hits for a "git grep env_array"
let's leave that for now (and possibly forever). Doing that rename
would be too disruptive.

Remove the "argv" member from the run-command API, ever since "args"
was added in c460c0ecdc (run-command: store an optional argv_array,
2014-05-15) being able to provide either "argv" or "args" has led to
some confusion and bugs.
If we hadn't gone in that direction and only had an "argv" our
problems wouldn't have been solved either, as noted in [1] (and in the
documentation amended here) it comes with inherent memory management
issues: The caller would have to hang on to the "argv" until the
run-command API was finished. If the "argv" was an argument to main()
this wasn't an issue, but if it it was manually constructed using the
API might be painful.
We also have a recent report[2] of a user of the API segfaulting,
which is a direct result of it being complex to use. This commit
addresses the root cause of that bug.
This change is larger than I'd like, but there's no easy way to avoid
it that wouldn't involve even more verbose intermediate steps. We use
the "argv" as the source of truth over the "args", so we need to
change all parts of run-command.[ch] itself, as well as the trace2
logging at the same time.
The resulting Windows-specific code in start_command() is a bit nasty,
as we're now assigning to a strvec's "v" member, instead of to our own
"argv". There was a suggestion of some alternate approaches in reply
to an earlier version of this commit[3], but let's leave larger a
larger and needless refactoring of this code for now.

Migrate those run-command API users that assign directly to the "argv"
member to use a strvec_pushv() of "args" instead.
In these cases it did not make sense to further refactor these
callers, e.g. daemon.c could be made to construct the arguments closer
to handle(), but that would require moving the construction from its
cmd_main() and pass "argv" through two intermediate functions.
It would be possible for a change like this to introduce a regression
if we were doing:
cp.argv = argv;
argv[1] = "foo";
And changed the code, as is being done here, to:
strvec_pushv(&cp.args, argv);
argv[1] = "foo";
But as viewing this change with the "-W" flag reveals none of these
functions modify variable that's being pushed afterwards in a way that
would introduce such a logic error.

Since 507d7804c0 (pager: don't use unsafe functions in signal handlers,
2015-09-04), we have a separate code path in wait_or_whine() for the
case that we're in a signal handler. But that code path misses some of
the cases handled by the main logic.
This was improved in be8fc53e36 (pager: properly log pager exit code
when signalled, 2021-02-02), but that covered only case: actually
returning the correct error code. But there are some other cases:
- if waitpid() returns failure, we wouldn't notice and would look at
uninitialized garbage in the status variable; it's not clear if it's
possible to trigger this or not
- if the process exited by signal, then we would still report "-1"
rather than the correct signal code
This latter case even had a test added in be8fc53e36, but it doesn't
work reliably. It sets the pager command to:
>pager-used; test-tool sigchain
The latter command will die by signal, but because there are multiple
commands, there will be a shell in between. And it's the shell whose
waitpid() call will see the signal death, and it will then exit with
code 143, which is what Git will see.
To make matters even more confusing, some shells (such as bash) will
realize that there's nothing for the shell to do after test-tool
finishes, and will turn it into an exec. So the test was only checking
what it thought when /bin/sh points to a shell like bash (we're relying
on the shell used internally by Git to spawn sub-commands here, so even
running the test under bash would not be enough).
This patch adjusts the tests to explicitly call "exec" in the pager
command, which produces a consistent outcome regardless of shell. Note
that without the code change in this patch it _should_ fail reliably,
but doesn't. That test, like its siblings, tries to trigger SIGPIPE in
the git-log process writing to the pager, but only do so racily. That
will be fixed in a follow-on patch.
For the code change here, we have two options:
- we can teach the in_signal code to handle WIFSIGNALED()
- we can stop returning early when in_signal is set, and instead
annotate individual calls that we need to skip in this case
The former is a simpler patch, but means we're essentially duplicating
all of the logic. So instead I went with the latter. The result is a
bigger patch, and we do run the risk of new code being added but
forgetting to handle in_signal. But in the long run it seems more
maintainable.
I've skipped any non-trivial calls for the in_signal case, like calling
error(). We'll also skip the call to clear_child_for_cleanup(), as we
were before. This is arguably the wrong thing to do, since we wouldn't
want to try to clean it up again. But:
- we can't call it as-is, because it calls free(), which we must avoid
in a signal handler (we'd have to pass in_signal so it can skip the
free() call)
- we'll only go through the list of children to clean once, since our
cleanup_children_on_signal() handler pops itself after running (and
then re-raises, so eventually we'd just exit). So this cleanup only
matters if a process is on the cleanup list _and_ it has a separate
handler to clean itself up. Which is questionable in the first place
(and AFAIK we do not do).
- double-cleanup isn't actually that bad anyway. waitpid() will just
return an error, which we won't even report because of in_signal.

One CI task based on Fedora image noticed a not-quite-kosher
consturct recently, which has been corrected.
* vd/pthread-setspecific-g11-fix:
async_die_is_recursing: work around GCC v11.x issue on Fedora
This fix corrects an issue found in the `dockerized(pedantic, fedora)` CI
build, first appearing after the introduction of a new version of the Fedora
docker image version. This image includes a version of `glibc` with the
attribute `__attr_access_none` added to `pthread_setspecific` [1], the
implementation of which only exists for GCC 11.X - the version included in
the Fedora image. The attribute requires that the pointer provided in the
second argument of `pthread_getspecific` must, if not NULL, be a pointer to
a valid object. In the usage in `async_die_is_recursing`, `(void *)1` is not
valid, causing the error.
This fix imitates a workaround added in SELinux [2] by using the pointer to
the static `async_die_counter` itself as the second argument to
`pthread_setspecific`. This guaranteed non-NULL, valid pointer matches the
intent of the current usage while not triggering the build error.
