e87de7cab4 ("grep: un-break building with PCRE < 8.32", 2017-05-25)
added a restriction for JIT support that is no longer needed after
pcre_jit_exec() calls were removed.
Reorganize the definitions in grep.h so that JIT support could be
detected early and NO_LIBPCRE1_JIT could be used reliably to enforce
JIT doesn't get used.

As discussed in the last commit partially fix a bug introduced in
b65abcafc7 ("grep: use PCRE v2 for optimized fixed-string search",
2019-07-01). Because PCRE v2, unlike kwset, validates its UTF-8 input
we'd die on e.g.:
fatal: pcre2_match failed with error code -22: UTF-8 error:
isolated byte with 0x80 bit set
When grepping a non-ASCII fixed string. This is a more general problem
that's hard to fix, but we can at least fix the most common case of
grepping for a fixed string without "-i". I can't think of a reason
for why we'd turn on PCRE2_UTF when matching byte-for-byte like that.

Since my b65abcafc7 ("grep: use PCRE v2 for optimized fixed-string
search", 2019-07-01) we've been dying on invalid UTF-8 data when
grepping for fixed strings if the following are all true:
* The subject string is non-ASCII (e.g. "ævar")
* We're under a is_utf8_locale(), e.g. "en_US.UTF-8", not "C"
* We compiled with PCRE v2
* That PCRE v2 did not have JIT support
The last of those is why this wasn't caught earlier, per pcre2jit(3):
"unless PCRE2_NO_UTF_CHECK is set, a UTF subject string is tested
for validity. In the interests of speed, these checks do not
happen on the JIT fast path, and if invalid data is passed, the
result is undefined."
I.e. the subject being matched against our pattern was invalid, but we
were lucky and getting away with it on the JIT path, but the non-JIT
one is stricter.
This patch does nothing to fix that, instead we sneak in support for
fixed patterns starting with "(*NO_JIT)", this disables the PCRE v2
jit with implicit fixed-string matching for testing, see
pcre2syntax(3) the syntax.
This is technically a change in behavior, but it's so obscure that I
figured it was OK. We'd previously consider this an invalid regular
expression as regcomp() would die on it, now we feed it to the PCRE v2
fixed-string path. I thought this was better than introducing yet
another GIT_TEST_* environment variable.
We're also relying on a behavior of PCRE v2 that technically could
change, but I think the test coverage is worth dipping our toe into
some somewhat undefined behavior.

Simplify the PCRE v1 code for the same reasons as for the PCRE v2 code
in the last commit. Unlike with v2 we actually used the custom stack
in v1, but let's use PCRE's built-in 32 KB one instead, since
experience with v2 shows that's enough. Most distros are already using
v2 as a default, and the underlying sljit code is the same.
Unfortunately we can't just pass a NULL to pcre_jit_exec() as with
pcre2_jit_match(). Unlike the v2 function it doesn't support
that. Instead we need to use the fatter pcre_exec() if we'd like the
same behavior.
This will make things slightly slower than on the fast-path function,
but it's OK since we care less about v1 performance these days since
we have and recommend v2. Running a similar performance test as what I
ran in fbaceaac47 ("grep: add support for the PCRE v1 JIT API",
2017-05-25) via:
GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=30 GIT_PERF_LARGE_REPO=~/g/linux GIT_PERF_MAKE_OPTS='-j8 USE_LIBPCRE1=Y CFLAGS=-O3 LIBPCREDIR=/home/avar/g/pcre/inst' ./run HEAD~ HEAD p7820-grep-engines.sh
Gives us this, just the /perl/ results:

It will also implicitly re-enable UTF-8 validation for PCRE v1. As
noted in [1] we now have cases as a result where PCRE v1 is more eager
to error out. Subsequent patches will fix that for v2, and I think
it's fair to tell v1 users "just upgrade" and not worry about that
edge case for v1.

As reported in [1] the code I added in 94da9193a6 ("grep: add support
for PCRE v2", 2017-06-01) to use a custom JIT stack has never
worked. It was incorrectly copy/pasted from code I added in
fbaceaac47 ("grep: add support for the PCRE v1 JIT API", 2017-05-25),
which did work.
Thus our intention of starting with 1 byte of stack at a maximum of 1
MB didn't happen, we'd always use the 32 KB stack provided by PCRE
v2's jit_machine_stack_exec()[2]. The reason I allocated a custom
stack at all was this advice in pcrejit(3) (same in pcre2jit(3)):
"By default, it uses 32KiB on the machine stack. However, some
large or complicated patterns need more than this"
Since we've haven't had any reports of users running into
PCRE2_ERROR_JIT_STACKLIMIT in the wild I think we can safely assume
that we can just use the library defaults instead and drop this
code. This won't change with the wider use of PCRE v2 in
ed0479ce3d ("Merge branch 'ab/no-kwset' into next", 2019-07-15), a
fixed string search is not a "large or complicated pattern".
For good measure I ran the performance test noted in 94da9193a6,
although the command is simpler now due to my 0f50c8e32c ("Makefile:
remove the NO_R_TO_GCC_LINKER flag", 2019-05-17):
GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=30 GIT_PERF_LARGE_REPO=~/g/linux GIT_PERF_MAKE_OPTS='-j8 USE_LIBPCRE2=Y CFLAGS=-O3 LIBPCREDIR=/home/avar/g/pcre2/inst' ./run HEAD~ HEAD p7820-grep-engines.sh
Just the /perl/ results are:

7820.3: perl grep 'how.to' 0.17(0.27+0.65) 0.17(0.24+0.68) +0.0%

So, as expected there's no change, and running with valgrind reveals
that we have fewer allocations now.
As noted in [3] there are known regexes that will fail with the lower
stack limit, the way GNU grep fixed it is interesting, although I
believe the implementation is overly verbose, they could make PCRE v2
handle that gradual re-allocation, that's what min/max memory is
for.
So we might end up bringing this back, I'm more inclined to just kick
such cases upstairs to PCRE maintainers as a bug, perhaps they'll add
some overall "just allocate more then" flag to make this easier. In
any case there's no functional change here, we didn't have a custom
stack, so let's apply this first, we can always revert it later.
1. https://public-inbox.org/git/20190721194052.15440-1-carenas@gmail.com/
2. I didn't really intend to start with 1 byte, looking at the PCRE v2
code again what happened is that I cargo-culted some of PCRE v2's
own test code which was meant to test re-allocations. It's more
sane to start with say 32 KB with a max of 1 MB, as pcre2grep.c
does.

Bring back optimized fixed-string search for "grep", this time with
PCRE v2 as an optional backend. As noted in [1] with kwset we were
slower than PCRE v1 and v2 JIT with the kwset backend, so that
optimization was counterproductive.
This brings back the optimization for "--fixed-strings", without
changing the semantics of having a NUL-byte in patterns. As seen in
previous commits in this series we could support it now, but I'd
rather just leave that edge-case aside so we don't have one behavior
or the other depending what "--fixed-strings" backend we're using. It
makes the behavior harder to understand and document, and makes tests
for the different backends more painful.
This does change the behavior under non-C locales when "log"'s
"--encoding" option is used and the heystack/needle in the
content/command-line doesn't have a matching encoding. See the recent
change in "t4210: skip more command-line encoding tests on MinGW" in
this series. I think that's OK. We did nothing sensible before
then (just compared raw bytes that had no hope of matching). At least
now the user will get some idea why their grep/log never matches in
that edge case.
I could also support the PCRE v1 backend here, but that would make the
code more complex. I'd rather aim for simplicity here and in future
changes to the diffcore. We're not going to have someone who
absolutely must have faster search, but for whom building PCRE v2
isn't acceptable.
The difference between this series of commits and the current "master"
is, using the same t/perf commands shown in the last commit:

Change "-f <file>" to not support patterns with a NUL-byte in them
under --fixed-strings. We'll now only support these under
"--perl-regexp" with PCRE v2.
A previous change to grep's documentation changed the description of
"-f <file>" to be vague enough as to not promise that this would work.
By dropping support for this we make it a whole lot easier to move
away from the kwset backend, which we'll do in a subsequent change.

The behavior of "grep" when patterns contained a NUL-byte has always
been haphazard, and has served the vagaries of the implementation more
than anything else. A pattern containing a NUL-byte can only be
provided via "-f <file>". Since pickaxe (log search) has no such flag
the NUL-byte in patterns has only ever been supported by "grep" (and
not "log --grep").
Since 9eceddeec6 ("Use kwset in grep", 2011-08-21) patterns containing
"\0" were considered fixed. In 966be95549 ("grep: add tests to fix
blind spots with \0 patterns", 2017-05-20) I added tests for this
behavior.
Change the behavior to do the obvious thing, i.e. don't silently
discard a regex pattern and make it implicitly fixed just because they
contain a NUL-byte. Instead die if the backend in question can't
handle them, e.g. --basic-regexp is combined with such a pattern.
This is desired because from a user's point of view it's the obvious
thing to do. Whether we support BRE/ERE/Perl syntax is different from
whether our implementation is limited by C-strings. These patterns are
obscure enough that I think this behavior change is OK, especially
since we never documented the old behavior.
Doing this also makes it easier to replace the kwset backend with
something else, since we'll no longer strictly need it for anything we
can't easily use another fixed-string backend for.

Move the tests for "-f <file>" where "<file>" contains a NUL byte
pattern into their own file. I added most of these tests in
966be95549 ("grep: add tests to fix blind spots with \0 patterns",
2017-05-20).
Whether a regex engine supports matching binary content is very
different from whether it matches binary patterns. Since
2f8952250a ("regex: add regexec_buf() that can work on a non
NUL-terminated string", 2016-09-21) we've required REG_STARTEND of our
regex engines so we can match binary content, but only the PCRE v2
engine can sensibly match binary patterns.
Since 9eceddeec6 ("Use kwset in grep", 2011-08-21) we've been punting
patterns containing NUL-byte and considering them fixed, except in
cases where "--ignore-case" is provided and they're non-ASCII, see
5c1ebcca4d ("grep/icase: avoid kwsset on literal non-ascii strings",
2016-06-25). Subsequent commits will change this behavior.

the negative tests that don't produce a match.
An upcoming change to migrate the "fixed" backend of grep to PCRE v2
will cause these "log" commands to produce an error instead on
MinGW. This is because the command-line on that platform implicitly

Fix a bug introduced in 18547aacf5 ("grep/pcre: support utf-8",
2016-06-25) that was missed due to a blindspot in our tests, as
discussed in the previous commit. I then blindly copied the same bug
in 94da9193a6 ("grep: add support for PCRE v2", 2017-06-01) when
adding the PCRE v2 code.
We should not tell PCRE that we're processing UTF-8 just because we're
dealing with non-ASCII. In the case of e.g. "log --encoding=<...>"
under is_utf8_locale() the haystack might be in ISO-8859-1, and the
needle might be in a non-UTF-8 encoding.
Maybe we should be more strict here and die earlier? Should we also be
converting the needle to the encoding in question, and failing if it's
not a string that's valid in that encoding? Maybe.
But for now matching this as non-UTF8 at least has some hope of
producing sensible results, since we know that our default heuristic
of assuming the text to be matched is in the user locale encoding
isn't true when we've explicitly encoded it to be in a different
encoding.

Improve the tests added in 04deccda11 ("log: re-encode commit messages
before grepping", 2013-02-11) to test the regex backends. Those tests
never worked as advertised, due to the is_fixed() optimization in
grep.c (which was in place at the time), and the needle in the tests
being a fixed string.
We'd thus always use the "fixed" backend during the tests, which would
use the kwset() backend. This backend liberally accepts any garbage
input, so invalid encodings would be silently accepted.
In a follow-up commit we'll fix this bug, this test just demonstrates
the existing issue.
In practice this issue happened on Windows, see [1], but due to the
structure of the existing tests & how liberal the kwset code is about
garbage we missed this.
Cover this blind spot by testing all our regex engines. The PCRE
backend will spot these invalid encodings. It's possible that this
test breaks the "basic" and "extended" backends on some systems that
are more anal than glibc about the encoding of locale issues with
POSIX functions that I can remember, but PCRE is more careful about
the validation.

The list of for-each like macros used by clang-format has been
updated.
* mo/clang-format-for-each-update:
clang-format: use git grep to generate the ForEachMacros list
The URL decoding code has been updated to avoid going past the end
of the string while parsing %-<hex>-<hex> sequence.
* md/url-parse-harden:
url: do not allow %00 to represent NUL in URLs
url: do not read past end of buffer
The description about slashes in gitignore patterns (used to
indicate things like "anchored to this level only" and "only
matches directories") has been revamped.
* an/ignore-doc-update:
gitignore.txt: make slash-rules more readable
The filter_data used in the list-objects-filter (which manages a
lazily sparse clone repository) did not use the dynamic array API
correctly---'nr' is supposed to point at one past the last element
of the array in use. This has been corrected.
* md/list-objects-filter-memfix:
list-objects-filter: correct usage of ALLOC_GROW
"git fetch" into a lazy clone forgot to fetch base objects that are
necessary to complete delta in a thin packfile, which has been
corrected.
* jt/partial-clone-missing-ref-delta-base:
t5616: cover case of client having delta base
t5616: use correct flag to check object is missing
index-pack: prefetch missing REF_DELTA bases
t5616: refactor packfile replacement
The pattern "git diff/grep" use to extract funcname and words
boundary for Rust has been added.
* ml/userdiff-rust:
userdiff: two simplifications of patterns for rust
userdiff: add built-in pattern for rust
When creating a partial clone, the object filtering criteria is
recorded for the origin of the clone, but this incorrectly used a
hardcoded name "origin" to name that remote; it has been corrected
to honor the "--origin <name>" option.
* xl/record-partial-clone-origin:
clone: respect user supplied origin name when setting up partial clone
"git request-pull" learned to warn when the ref we ask them to pull
from in the local repository and in the published repository are
different.
* pb/request-pull-verify-remote-ref:
request-pull: warn if the remote object is not the same as the local one
request-pull: quote regex metacharacters in local ref
The command line to invoke a "git cat-file" command from inside
"git p4" was not properly quoted to protect a caret and running a
broken command on Windows, which has been corrected.

p4 unshelve: fix "Not a valid object name HEAD0" on Windows
"git help git" was hard to discover (well, at least for some
people).

The data collected by fsmonitor was not properly written back to
the on-disk index file, breaking t7519 tests occasionally, which
has been corrected.

The pattern "git diff/grep" use to extract funcname and words
boundary for Matlab has been extend to cover Octave, which is more
or less equivalent.
* bl/userdiff-octave:
userdiff: fix grammar and style issues
userdiff: add Octave
"git clone --recurse-submodules" learned to set up the submodules
to ignore commit object names recorded in the superproject gitlink
and instead use the commits that happen to be at the tip of the
remote-tracking branches from the get-go, by passing the new
"--remote-submodules" option.
* ba/clone-remote-submodules:
clone: add `--remote-submodules` flag
"git merge --squash" is designed to update the working tree and the
index without creating the commit, and this cannot be countermanded
by adding the "--commit" option; the command now refuses to work
when both options are given.
* vv/merge-squash-with-explicit-commit:
merge: refuse --commit with --squash
"git bundle verify" needs to see if prerequisite objects exist in
the receiving repository, but the command did not check if we are
in a repository upfront, which has been corrected.
* js/bundle-verify-require-object-store:
bundle verify: error out if called without an object database
"git am -i --resolved" segfaulted after trying to see a commit as

The server side support for "git fetch" used to show incorrect
value for the HEAD symbolic ref when the namespace feature is in
use, which has been corrected.
