Jeff King 911ec99b68 run-command: introduce capture_command helper
Something as simple as reading the stdout from a command
turns out to be rather hard to do right. Doing:

  cmd.out = -1;
  run_command(&cmd);
  strbuf_read(&buf, cmd.out, 0);

can result in deadlock if the child process produces a large
amount of output. What happens is:

  1. The parent spawns the child with its stdout connected
     to a pipe, of which the parent is the sole reader.

  2. The parent calls wait(), blocking until the child exits.

  3. The child writes to stdout. If it writes more data than
     the OS pipe buffer can hold, the write() call will
     block.

This is a deadlock; the parent is waiting for the child to
exit, and the child is waiting for the parent to call
read().

So we might try instead:

  start_command(&cmd);
  strbuf_read(&buf, cmd.out, 0);
  finish_command(&cmd);

But that is not quite right either. We are examining cmd.out
and running finish_command whether start_command succeeded
or not, which is wrong. Moreover, these snippets do not do
any error handling. If our read() fails, we must make sure
to still call finish_command (to reap the child process).
And both snippets failed to close the cmd.out descriptor,
which they must do (provided start_command succeeded).

Let's introduce a run-command helper that can make this a
bit simpler for callers to get right.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy dcf692625a path.c: make get_pathname() call sites return const char *
Before the previous commit, get_pathname returns an array of PATH_MAX
length. Even if git_path() and similar functions does not use the
whole array, git_path() caller can, in theory.

After the commit, get_pathname() may return a buffer that has just
enough room for the returned string and git_path() caller should never
write beyond that.

Make git_path(), mkpath() and git_path_submodule() return a const
buffer to make sure callers do not write in it at all.

This could have been part of the previous commit, but the "const"
conversion is too much distraction from the core changes in path.c.

Jeff King c460c0ecdc run-command: store an optional argv_array
All child_process structs need to point to an argv. For
flexibility, we do not mandate the use of a dynamic
argv_array. However, because the child_process does not own
the memory, this can make memory management with a
separate argv_array difficult.

For example, if a function calls start_command but not
finish_command, the argv memory must persist. The code needs
to arrange to clean up the argv_array separately after
finish_command runs. As a result, some of our code in this
situation just leaks the memory.

To help such cases, this patch adds a built-in argv_array to
the child_process, which gets cleaned up automatically (both
in finish_command and when start_command fails).  Callers
may use it if they choose, but can continue to use the raw
argv if they wish.

Aaron Schrab 5a7da2dca1 hooks: Add function to check if a hook exists
Create find_hook() function to determine if a given hook exists and is
executable.  If it is, the path to the script will be returned,
otherwise NULL is returned.

This encapsulates the tests that are used to check for the existence of
a hook in one place, making it easier to modify those checks if that is
found to be necessary.  This also makes it simple for places that can
use a hook to check if a hook exists before doing, possibly lengthy,
setup work which would be pointless if no such hook is present.

The returned value is left as a static value from get_pathname() rather
than a duplicate because it is anticipated that the return value will
either be used as a boolean, immediately added to an argv_array list
which would result in it being duplicated at that point, or used to
actually run the command without much intervening work.  Callers which
need to hold onto the returned value for a longer time are expected to
duplicate the return value themselves.

Jeff King e8320f350f pager: drop "wait for output to run less" hack
Commit 35ce862 (pager: Work around window resizing bug in
'less', 2007-01-24) causes git's pager sub-process to wait
to receive input after forking but before exec-ing the
pager. To handle this, run-command had to grow a "pre-exec
callback" feature. Unfortunately, this feature does not work
at all on Windows (where we do not fork), and interacts
poorly with run-command's parent notification system. Its
use should be discouraged.

The bug in less was fixed in version 406, which was released
in June 2007. It is probably safe at this point to remove
our workaround. That lets us rip out the preexec_cb feature
entirely.

Clemens Buchacher 10c6cddd92 dashed externals: kill children on exit
Several git commands are so-called dashed externals, that is commands
executed as a child process of the git wrapper command. If the git
wrapper is killed by a signal, the child process will continue to run.
This is different from internal commands, which always die with the git
wrapper command.

Enable the recently introduced cleanup mechanism for child processes in
order to make dashed externals act more in line with internal commands.

Jeff King afe19ff7b5 run-command: optionally kill children on exit
When we spawn a helper process, it should generally be done
and finish_command called before we exit. However, if we
exit abnormally due to an early return or a signal, the
helper may continue to run in our absence.

In the best case, this may simply be wasted CPU cycles or a
few stray messages on a terminal. But it could also mean a
process that the user thought was aborted continues to run
to completion (e.g., a push's pack-objects helper will
complete the push, even though you killed the push process).

This patch provides infrastructure for run-command to keep
track of PIDs to be killed, and clean them on signal
reception or input, just as we do with tempfiles. PIDs can
be added in two ways:

  1. If NO_PTHREADS is defined, async helper processes are
     automatically marked. By definition this code must be
     ready to die when the parent dies, since it may be
     implemented as a thread of the parent process.

  2. If the run-command caller specifies the "clean_on_exit"
     option. This is not the default, as there are cases
     where it is OK for the child to outlive us (e.g., when
     spawning a pager).

PIDs are cleared from the kill-list automatically during
wait_or_whine, which is called from finish_command and
finish_async.

Johannes Sixt 200a76b74d Reimplement async procedures using pthreads
On Windows, async procedures have always been run in threads, and the
implementation used Windows specific APIs. Rewrite the code to use pthreads.

A new configuration option is introduced so that the threaded implementation
can also be used on POSIX systems. Since this option is intended only as
playground on POSIX, but is mandatory on Windows, the option is not
documented.

One detail is that on POSIX it is necessary to set FD_CLOEXEC on the pipe
handles. On Windows, this is not needed because pipe handles are not
inherited to child processes, and the new calls to set_cloexec() are
effectively no-ops.

Erik Faye-Lund ae6a5609c0 run-command: support custom fd-set in async
This patch adds the possibility to supply a set of non-0 file
descriptors for async process communication instead of the
default-created pipe.

Additionally, we now support bi-directional communiction with the
async procedure, by giving the async function both read and write
file descriptors.

To retain compatiblity and similar "API feel" with start_command,
we require start_async callers to set .out = -1 to get a readable
file descriptor.  If either of .in or .out is 0, we supply no file
descriptor to the async process.

Johannes Sixt c024beb56d run_command: report failure to execute the program, but optionally don't
In the case where a program was not found, it was still the task of the
caller to report an error to the user. Usually, this is an interesting case
but only few callers actually reported a specific error (though many call
sites report a generic error message regardless of the cause).

With this change the error is reported by run_command, but since there is
one call site in git.c that does not want that, an option is added to
struct child_process, which is used to turn the error off.

Johannes Sixt 0ac77ec315 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.

Johannes Sixt 5709e0363a run_command: return exit code as positive value
As a general guideline, functions in git's code return zero to indicate
success and negative values to indicate failure. The run_command family of
functions followed this guideline. But there are actually two different
kinds of failure:

- failures of system calls;

- non-zero exit code of the program that was run.

Usually, a non-zero exit code of the program is a failure and means a
failure to the caller. Except that sometimes it does not. For example, the
exit code of merge programs (e.g. external merge drivers) conveys
information about how the merge failed, and not all exit calls are
actually failures.

Furthermore, the return value of run_command is sometimes used as exit
code by the caller.

This change arranges that the exit code of the program is returned as a
positive value, which can now be regarded as the "result" of the function.
System call failures continue to be reported as negative values.

Johannes Sixt c20181e3a3 start_command(), if .in/.out > 0, closes file descriptors, not the callers
Callers of start_command() can set the members .in and .out of struct
child_process to a value > 0 to specify that this descriptor is used as

Previously, if start_command() was successful, this descriptor was closed
upon return. Here we now make sure that the descriptor is also closed in
case of failures. All callers are updated not to close the file descriptor
themselves after start_command() was called.

Note that earlier run_gpg_verify() of git-verify-tag set .out = 1, which
worked because start_command() treated this as a special case, but now
this is incorrect because it closes the descriptor. The intent here is to
inherit stdout to the child, which is achieved by .out = 0.

Johannes Sixt e72ae28895 start_command(), .in/.out/.err = -1: Callers must close the file descriptor
By setting .in, .out, or .err members of struct child_process to -1, the
callers of start_command() can request that a pipe is allocated that talks
to the child process and one end is returned by replacing -1 with the
file descriptor.

Previously, a flag was set (for .in and .out, but not .err) to signal
finish_command() to close the pipe end that start_command() had handed out,
so it was optional for callers to close the pipe, and many already do so.
Now we make it mandatory to close the pipe.

Shawn O. Pearce b73a439759 run-command: Support sending stderr to /dev/null
Some callers may wish to redirect stderr to /dev/null in some
contexts, such as if they are executing a command only to get
the exit status and don't want users to see whatever output it
may produce as a side-effect of computing that exit status.

Johannes Sixt 2d22c20830 Add infrastructure to run a function asynchronously.
This adds start_async() and finish_async(), which runs a function
asynchronously. Communication with the caller happens only via pipes.
For this reason, this implementation forks off a child process that runs
the function.

[sp: Style nit fixed by removing unnecessary block on if condition
     inside of start_async()]

Johannes Sixt f3b33f1d22 Have start_command() create a pipe to read the stderr of the child.
This adds another stanza that allocates a pipe that is connected to the
child's stderr and that the caller can read from. In order to request this
pipe, the caller sets cmd->err to -1.

The implementation is not exactly modeled after the stdout case: For stdout
the caller can supply an existing file descriptor, but this facility is
nowhere needed in the stderr case. Additionally, the caller is required to
close cmd->err.

Alex Riesen 3427b375b5 Allow environment variables to be unset in the processes started by run_command
To unset a variable, just specify its name, without "=". For example:

    const char *env[] = {"GIT_DIR=.git", "PWD", NULL};
    const char *argv[] = {"git-ls-files", "-s", NULL};
    int err = run_command_v_opt_cd_env(argv, RUN_GIT_CMD, ".", env);

The PWD will be unset before executing git-ls-files.

Shawn O. Pearce e4507ae84e Teach run-command to redirect stdout to /dev/null
Some run-command callers may wish to just discard any data that
is sent to stdout from the child.  This is a lot like our existing
no_stdin support, we just open /dev/null and duplicate the descriptor
into position.

Some potential callers of the run_command family of functions need
to control not only the stdin redirection of the child, but also
the stdout redirection of the child.  This can now be setup much
like the already existing stdin redirection.

Shawn O. Pearce 4919bf0354 Teach run_command how to setup a stdin pipe
Sometimes callers trying to use run_command to execute a child
process will want to setup a pipe or file descriptor to redirect
into the child's stdin.

This idea is completely stolen from builtin-bundle's fork_with_pipe,
written by Johannes Schindelin.  All credit (and blame) should lie
with Dscho.  ;-)

Shawn O. Pearce ebcb5d16ca Split run_command into two halves (start/finish)
If the calling process wants to send data to stdin of a
child process it will need to arrange for a pipe and get
the child process running, feed data to it, then wait
for the child process to finish.  So we split the run
function into two halves, allowing callers to first
start the child then later finish it.

Shawn O. Pearce f1000898d4 Start defining a more sophisticated run_command
There are a number of places where we do some variation of
fork()+exec() but we also need to setup redirection in the process,
much like what run_command does for us already with its option flags.

It would be nice to reuse more of the run_command logic, especially
as that non-fork API helps us to port to odd platforms like Win32.

Shawn O. Pearce 95d3c4f546 Use /dev/null for update hook stdin.
Currently the update hook invoked by receive-pack has its stdin
connected to the pushing client.  The hook shouldn't attempt to
read from this stream, and doing so may consume data that was
meant for receive-pack.  Instead we should give the update hook
/dev/null as its stdin, ensuring that it always receives EOF and
doesn't disrupt the protocol if it attempts to read any data.

The post-update hook is similar, as it gets invoked with /dev/null
on stdin to prevent the hook from reading data from the client.
Previously we had invoked it with stdout also connected to /dev/null,
throwing away anything on stdout, to prevent client protocol errors.
Instead we should redirect stdout to stderr, like we do with the
update hook.

Shawn O. Pearce cd83c74cb3 Redirect update hook stdout to stderr.
If an update hook outputs to stdout then that output will be sent
back over the wire to the push client as though it were part of
the git protocol.  This tends to cause protocol errors on the
client end of the connection, as the hook output is not expected
in that context.  Most hook developers work around this by making
sure their hook outputs everything to stderr.

But hooks shouldn't need to perform such special behavior.  Instead
we can just dup stderr to stdout prior to invoking the update hook.
