Finishing touches to C rewrite of "git add -i" in single-key
interactive mode.
* pw/add-p-single-key:
terminal: restore settings on SIGTSTP
terminal: work around macos poll() bug
terminal: don't assume stdin is /dev/tty
terminal: use flags for save_term()
Replace core.fsyncObjectFiles with two new configuration variables,
core.fsync and core.fsyncMethod.
* ns/core-fsyncmethod:
core.fsync: documentation and user-friendly aggregate options
core.fsync: new option to harden the index
core.fsync: add configuration parsing
core.fsync: introduce granular fsync control infrastructure
core.fsyncmethod: add writeout-only mode
wrapper: make inclusion of Windows csprng header tightly scoped
The single-key interactive operation used by "git add -p" has been
made more robust.
* pw/single-key-interactive:
add -p: disable stdin buffering when interactive.singlekey is set
terminal: set VMIN and VTIME in non-canonical mode
terminal: pop signal handler when terminal is restored
terminal: always reset terminal when reading without echo
If the user suspends git while it is waiting for a keypress reset the
terminal before stopping and restore the settings when git resumes. If
the user tries to resume in the background print an error
message (taking care to use async safe functions) before stopping
again. Ideally we would reprint the prompt for the user when git
resumes but this patch just restarts the read().
The signal handler is established with sigaction() rather than using
sigchain_push() as this allows us to control the signal mask when the
handler is invoked and ensure SA_RESTART is used to restart the
read() when resuming.

read_key_without_echo() reads from stdin but uses /dev/tty when it
disables echo. This is unfortunate as there no guarantee that stdin is
the same device as /dev/tty. The perl version of "add -p" uses stdin
when it sets the terminal mode, this commit does the same for the
builtin version. There is still a difference between the perl and
builtin versions though - the perl version will ignore any errors when
setting the terminal mode[1] and will still read single bytes when
stdin is not a terminal. The builtin version displays a warning if
setting the terminal mode fails and switches to reading a line at a
time.

This commit introduces the `core.fsyncMethod` configuration
knob, which can currently be set to `fsync` or `writeout-only`.
The new writeout-only mode attempts to tell the operating system to
flush its in-memory page cache to the storage hardware without issuing a
CACHE_FLUSH command to the storage controller.
Writeout-only fsync is significantly faster than a vanilla fsync on
common hardware, since data is written to a disk-side cache rather than
all the way to a durable medium. Later changes in this patch series will
take advantage of this primitive to implement batching of hardware
flushes.
When git_fsync is called with FSYNC_WRITEOUT_ONLY, it may fail and the
caller is expected to do an ordinary fsync as needed.
On Apple platforms, the fsync system call does not issue a CACHE_FLUSH
directive to the storage controller. This change updates fsync to do
fcntl(F_FULLFSYNC) to make fsync actually durable. We maintain parity
with existing behavior on Apple platforms by setting the default value
of the new core.fsyncMethod option.

Including NTSecAPI.h in git-compat-util.h causes build errors in any

If VMIN and VTIME are both set to zero then the terminal performs
non-blocking reads which means that read_key_without_echo() returns

When disable_bits() changes the terminal attributes it uses
sigchain_push_common() to restore the terminal if a signal is received
before restore_term() is called. However there is no corresponding
call to sigchain_pop_common() when the settings are restored so the
signal handler is left on the sigchain stack. This leaves the stack
unbalanced so code such as
sigchain_push_common(my_handler);
...
read_key_without_echo(...);
...
sigchain_pop_common();
pops the handler pushed by disable_bits() rather than the one it
intended to. Additionally "git add -p" changes the terminal settings
every time it reads a key press so the stack can grow significantly.
In order to fix this save_term() now sets up the signal handler so
restore_term() can unconditionally call sigchain_pop_common(). There
are no callers of save_term() outside of terminal.c as the only
external caller was removed by e3f7e01b50 ("Revert "editor: save and
reset terminal after calling EDITOR"", 2021-11-22). Any future callers
of save_term() should benefit from having the signal handler set up
for them.

* jc/qsort-s-alignment-fix:
stable-qsort: avoid using potentially unaligned access
compat/qsort_s.c: avoid using potentially unaligned access
We have a copy of uncompress2() implementation in compat/ so that we
can build with an older version of zlib that lack the function, and
the build procedure selects if it is used via the NO_UNCOMPRESS2
$(MAKE) variable. This is yet another "annoying" knob the porters
need to tweak on platforms that are not common enough to have the
default set in the config.mak.uname file.
Attempt to instead ask the system header <zlib.h> to decide if we
need the compatibility implementation. This is a deviation from the
way we have been handling the "compatiblity" features so far, and if
it can be done cleanly enough, it could work as a model for features
that need compatibility definition we discover in the future. With
that goal in mind, avoid expedient but ugly hacks, like shoving the
code that is conditionally compiled into an unrelated .c file, which
may not work in future cases---instead, take an approach that uses a
file that is independently compiled and stands on its own.
Compile and link compat/zlib-uncompress2.c file unconditionally, but
conditionally hide the implementation behind #if/#endif when zlib
version is 1.2.9 or newer, and unconditionally archive the resulting
object file in the libgit.a to be picked up by the linker.
There are a few things to note in the shape of the code base after
this change:
- We no longer use NO_UNCOMPRESS2 knob; if the system header
<zlib.h> claims a version that is more cent than the library
actually is, this would break, but it is easy to add it back when
we find such a system.
- The object file compat/zlib-uncompress2.o is always compiled and
archived in libgit.a, just like a few other compat/ object files
already are.
- The inclusion of <zlib.h> is done in <git-compat-util.h>; we used
to do so from <cache.h> which includes <git-compat-util.h> as the
first thing it does, so from the *.c codes, there is no practical
change.
- Until objects in libgit.a that is already used gains a reference
to the function, the reftable code will be the only one that
wants it, so libgit.a on the linker command line needs to appear
once more at the end to satisify the mutual dependency.
- Beat found a trick used by OpenSSL to avoid making the
conditionally-compiled object truly empty (apparently because
they had to deal with compilers that do not want to see an
effectively empty input file). Our compat/zlib-uncompress2.c
file borrows the same trick for portabilty.

A recent upstream topic introduced checks for certain Git commands that
prevent them from deleting the current working directory, introducing
also a regression test that ensures that commands such as `git version`
_can_ run without a current working directory.
While technically not possible on Windows via the regular Win32 API, we
do run the regression tests in an MSYS2 Bash which uses a POSIX
emulation layer (the MSYS2/Cygwin runtime) where a really evil hack
_does_ allow to delete a directory even if it is the current working
directory.
Therefore, Git needs to be prepared for a missing working directory,
even on Windows.
This issue was not noticed in upstream Git because there was no caller
that tried to discover a Git directory with a deleted current working
directory in the test suite. But in the microsoft/git fork, we do want
to run `pre-command`/`post-command` hooks for every command, even for
`git version`, which means that we make precisely such a call. The bug
is not in that `pre-command`/`post-command` feature, though, but in
`mingw_getcwd()` and needs to be addressed there.

There are many situations in which having access to a cryptographically
secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) is helpful. In the
future, we'll encounter one of these when dealing with temporary files.
To make this possible, let's add a function which reads from a system
CSPRNG and returns some bytes.
We know that all systems will have such an interface. A CSPRNG is
required for a secure TLS or SSH implementation and a Git implementation
which provided neither would be of little practical use. In addition,
POSIX is set to standardize getentropy(2) in the next version, so in the
(potentially distant) future we can rely on that.
For systems which lack one of the other interfaces, we provide the
ability to use OpenSSL's CSPRNG. OpenSSL is highly portable and
functions on practically every known OS, and we know it will have access
to some source of cryptographically secure randomness. We also provide
support for the arc4random in libbsd for folks who would prefer to use
that.
Because this is a security sensitive interface, we take some
precautions. We either succeed by filling the buffer completely as we
requested, or we fail. We don't return partial data because the caller
will almost never find that to be a useful behavior.
Specify a makefile knob which users can use to specify one or more
suitable CSPRNGs, and turn the multiple string options into a set of
defines, since we cannot match on strings in the preprocessor. We allow
multiple options to make the job of handling this in autoconf easier.
The order of options is important here. On systems with arc4random,
which is most of the BSDs, we use that, since, except on MirBSD and
macOS, it uses ChaCha20, which is extremely fast, and sits entirely in
userspace, avoiding a system call. We then prefer getrandom over
getentropy, because the former has been available longer on Linux, and
then OpenSSL. Finally, if none of those are available, we use
/dev/urandom, because most Unix-like operating systems provide that API.
We prefer options that don't involve device files when possible because
those work in some restricted environments where device files may not be
available.
Set the configuration variables appropriately for Linux and the BSDs,
including macOS, as well as Windows and NonStop. We specifically only
consider versions which receive publicly available security support
here. For the same reason, we don't specify getrandom(2) on Linux,
because CentOS 7 doesn't support it in glibc (although its kernel does)
and we don't want to resort to making syscalls.
Finally, add a test helper to allow this to be tested by hand and in
tests. We don't add any tests, since invoking the CSPRNG is not likely
to produce interesting, reproducible results.

The compatibility definition for qsort_s() uses "char buffer[1024]"
on the stack to avoid making malloc() calls for small temporary
space, which essentially hand-rolls alloca().
But the elements of the array being sorted may have alignment needs
more strict than what an array of bytes may have. &buf[0] may be
word aligned, but using the address as if it stores the first
element of an array of a struct, whose first member may need to be
aligned on double-word boundary, would be a no-no.
We could use xalloca() from git-compat-util.h, or alloca() directly
on platforms with HAVE_ALLOCA_H, but let's try using unconditionally
xmalloc() before we know the performance characteristics of the
callers.
It may not make much of an argument to inspect the current callers
and say "it shouldn't matter to any of them", but anyway:
* The one in object-name.c is used to sort potential matches to a
given ambiguous object name prefix in the error path;
* The one in pack-write.c is done once per a pack .idx file being
written to create the reverse index, so (1) the cost of malloc()
overhead is dwarfed by the cost of the packing operation, and (2)
the number of entries being sorted is the number of objects in a
pack;
* The one in ref-filter.c is used by "branch --list", "tag --list",
and "for-each-ref", only once per operation. We sort an array of
pointers with entries, each corresponding to a ref that is shown.
* The one in string-list.c is used by sort_string_list(), which is
way too generic to assume any access patterns, so it may or may
not matter, but I do not care too much ;-)

Add `command_len` argument to the Simple IPC API.
In my original Simple IPC API, I assumed that the request would always

I found a caller that would like to pass a binary command to the

I considered changing the `command` argument to be a `void *`, but the
IPC layer simply passes it to the pkt-line layer which takes a `const
char *`, so to avoid confusion I left it as is.
Note, the response side has always been a `struct strbuf` which
includes the buffer and length, so we already support returning a
binary answer. (Yes, it feels a little weird returning a binary
buffer in a `strbuf`, but it works.)

mmap() imitation used to call xmalloc() that dies upon malloc()
failure, which has been corrected to just return an error to the
caller to be handled.
* rs/git-mmap-uses-malloc:
compat: let git_mmap use malloc(3) directly
In 2f732bf15e (tr2: log parent process name, 2021-07-21) we started
logging parent process names, but only logged all parents on Windows.
on Linux only the name of the immediate parent process was logged.
Extend the functionality added there to also log full parent chain on
Linux.
This requires us to lookup "/proc/<getppid()>/stat" instead of
"/proc/<getppid()>/comm". The "comm" file just contains the name of the
process, but the "stat" file has both that information, and the parent
PID of that process, see procfs(5). We parse out the parent PID of our
own parent, and recursively walk the chain of "/proc/*/stat" files all
the way up the chain. A parent PID of 0 indicates the end of the
chain.
It's possible given the semantics of Linux's PID files that we end up
getting an entirely nonsensical chain of processes. It could happen if
e.g. we have a chain of processes like:
1 (init) => 321 (bash) => 123 (git)
Let's assume that "bash" was started a while ago, and that as shown
the OS has already cycled back to using a lower PID for us than our
parent process. In the time it takes us to start up and get to
trace2_collect_process_info(TRACE2_PROCESS_INFO_STARTUP) our parent
process might exit, and be replaced by an entirely different process!
We'd racily look up our own getppid(), but in the meantime our parent
would exit, and Linux would have cycled all the way back to starting
an entirely unrelated process as PID 321.
If that happens we'll just silently log incorrect data in our ancestry
chain. Luckily we don't need to worry about this except in this
specific cycling scenario, as Linux does not have PID
randomization. It appears it once did through a third-party feature,
but that it was removed around 2006[1]. For anyone worried about this
edge case raising PID_MAX via "/proc/sys/kernel/pid_max" will mitigate
it, but not eliminate it.
One thing we don't need to worry about is getting into an infinite
loop when walking "/proc/*/stat". See 353d3d77f4 (trace2: collect
Windows-specific process information, 2019-02-22) for the related
Windows code that needs to deal with that, and [2] for an explanation
of that edge case.
Aside from potential race conditions it's also a bit painful to
correctly parse the process name out of "/proc/*/stat". A simpler
approach is to use fscanf(), see [3] for an implementation of that,
but as noted in the comment being added here it would fail in the face
of some weird process names, so we need our own parse_proc_stat() to
parse it out.
With this patch the "ancestry" chain for a trace2 event might look
like this:
$ GIT_TRACE2_EVENT=/dev/stdout ~/g/git/git version | grep ancestry | jq -r .ancestry
[
"bash",
"screen",
"systemd"
]
And in the case of naughty process names like the following. This uses
perl's ability to use prctl(PR_SET_NAME, ...). See
Perl/perl5@7636ea95c5 (Set the legacy process name with prctl() on
assignment to $0 on Linux, 2010-04-15)[4]:
$ perl -e '$0 = "(naughty\nname)"; system "GIT_TRACE2_EVENT=/dev/stdout ~/g/git/git version"' | grep ancestry | jq -r .ancestry
[
"sh",
"(naughty\nname)",
"bash",
"screen",
"systemd"
]

Change code added in 2f732bf15e (tr2: log parent process name,
2021-07-21) to use a switch statement without a "default" branch to
have the compiler error if this code ever drifts out of sync with the
members of the "enum trace2_process_info_reason".

In a subsequent commit I'll be replacing most of this code to log N
parents, but let's first fix bugs introduced in the recent
2f732bf15e (tr2: log parent process name, 2021-07-21).
It was using the strbuf_read_file() in the wrong way, its return value
is either a length or a negative value on error. If we didn't have a
procfs, or otherwise couldn't access it we'd end up pushing an empty
string to the trace2 ancestry array.
It was also using the strvec_push() API the wrong way. That API always
does an xstrdup(), so by detaching the strbuf here we'd leak
memory. Let's instead pass in our pointer for strvec_push() to
xstrdup(), and then free our own strbuf. I do have some WIP changes to
make strvec_push_nodup() non-static, which makes this and some other
callsites nicer, but let's just follow the prevailing pattern of using
strvec_push() for now.
We'll also need to free that "procfs_path" strbuf whether or not
strbuf_read_file() succeeds, which was another source of memory leaks
in 2f732bf15e, i.e. we'd leak that memory as well if we weren't on a
system where we could read the file from procfs.
Let's move all the freeing of the memory to the end of the
function. If we're still at STRBUF_INIT with "name" due to not having
taken the branch where the strbuf_read_file() succeeds freeing it is
redundant. So we could move it into the body of the "if", but just
handling freeing the same way for all branches of the function makes
it more readable.
In combination with the preceding commit this makes all of
t[0-9]*trace2*.sh pass under SANITIZE=leak on Linux.

Rewrite a comment added in 2f732bf15e (tr2: log parent process name,
2021-07-21) to describe what we might do under
TRACE2_PROCESS_INFO_EXIT in the future, instead of vaguely referring
to "something extra".

I'm fairly sure that there is no way on Linux to inspect the process
tree without using procfs, any tool such as ps(1), top(1) etc. that
shows this sort of information ultimately looks the information up in
procfs.
So let's remove this comment added in 2f732bf15e (tr2: log parent
process name, 2021-07-21), it's setting us up for an impossible task.

In preparation to building with pedantic mode enabled, change a couple
of places where the current mingw gcc compiler provided with the SDK
reports issues.
A full fix for the incompatible use of (void *) to store function
pointers has been punted, with the minimal change to instead use a
generic function pointer (FARPROC), and therefore the (hopefully)
temporary need to disable incompatible pointer warnings.
