treewide: be explicit about dependence on trace.h & trace2.h

2023-04-11T15:52:08Z

Dozens of files made use of trace and trace2 functions, without explicitly including trace.h or trace2.h. This made it more difficult to find which files could remove a dependence on cache.h. Make C files explicitly include trace.h or trace2.h if they are using them. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren Acked-by: Calvin Wan Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

fsmonitor: avoid overriding `cache_changed` bits

2023-03-27T16:40:39Z

As of e636a7b4d030 (read-cache: be specific what part of the index has changed, 2014-06-13), the paradigm `cache_changed = 1` fell out of fashion and it became a bit field instead. This is important because some bits have specific meaning and should not be unset without care, e.g. `SPLIT_INDEX_ORDERED`. However, b5a816975206 (mark_fsmonitor_valid(): mark the index as changed if needed, 2019-05-24) did use the `cache_changed` attribute as if it were a Boolean instead of a bit field. That not only would override the `SPLIT_INDEX_ORDERED` bit when marking index entries as valid via the FSMonitor, but worse: it would set the `SOMETHING_OTHER` bit (whose value is 1). This means that Git would unnecessarily force a full index to be written out when a split index was asked for. Let's instead use the bit that is specifically intended to indicate FSMonitor-triggered changes, allowing the split-index feature to work as designed.

fsmonitor: never set CE_FSMONITOR_VALID on submodules

2022-05-26T22:59:27Z

Never set CE_FSMONITOR_VALID on the cache-entry of submodule directories. During a client command like 'git status', we may need to recurse into each submodule to compute a status summary for the submodule. Since the purpose of the ce_flag is to let Git avoid scanning a cache-entry, setting the flag causes the recursive call to be avoided and we report incorrect (no status) for the submodule. We created an OS watch on the root directory of our working directory and we receive events for everything in the cone under it. When submodules are present inside our working directory, we receive events for both our repo (the super) and any subs within it. Since our index doesn't have any information for items within the submodules, we can't use those events. We could try to truncate the paths of those events back to the submodule boundary and mark the GITLINK as dirty, but that feels expensive since we would have to prefix compare every FS event that we receive against a list of submodule roots. And it still wouldn't be sufficient to correctly report status on the submodule, since we don't have any space in the cache-entry to cache the submodule's status (the 'SCMU' bits in porcelain V2 speak). That is, the CE_FSMONITOR_VALID bit just says that we don't need to scan/inspect it because we already know the answer -- it doesn't say that the item is clean -- and we don't have space in the cache-entry to store those answers. So we should always do the recursive scan. Therefore, we should never set the flag on GITLINK cache-entries. Signed-off-by: Jeff Hostetler Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

fsmonitor: config settings are repository-specific

2022-03-25T23:04:15Z

Move fsmonitor config settings to a new and opaque `struct fsmonitor_settings` structure. Add a lazily-loaded pointer to this into `struct repo_settings` Create an `enum fsmonitor_mode` type in `struct fsmonitor_settings` to represent the state of fsmonitor. This lets us represent which, if any, fsmonitor provider (hook or IPC) is enabled. Create `fsm_settings__get_*()` getters to lazily look up fsmonitor- related config settings. Get rid of the `core_fsmonitor` global variable. Move the code to lookup the existing `core.fsmonitor` config value into the fsmonitor settings. Create a hook pathname variable in `struct fsmonitor-settings` and only set it when in hook mode. Extend the definition of `core.fsmonitor` to be either a boolean or a hook pathname. When true, the builtin FSMonitor is used. When false or unset, no FSMonitor (neither builtin nor hook) is used. The existing `core_fsmonitor` global variable was used to store the pathname to the fsmonitor hook *and* it was used as a boolean to see if fsmonitor was enabled. This dual usage and global visibility leads to confusion when we add the IPC-based provider. So lets hide the details in fsmonitor-settings.c and let it decide which provider to use in the case of multiple settings. This avoids cluttering up repo-settings.c with these private details. A future commit in builtin-fsmonitor series will add the ability to disqualify worktrees for various reasons, such as being mounted from a remote volume, where fsmonitor should not be started. Having the config settings hidden in fsmonitor-settings.c allows such worktree restrictions to override the config values used. Signed-off-by: Jeff Hostetler Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

mark_fsmonitor_valid(): mark the index as changed if needed

2019-05-28T19:43:43Z

Without this bug fix, t7519's four "status doesn't detect unreported modifications" test cases would fail occasionally (and, oddly enough, *a lot* more frequently on Windows). The reason is that these test cases intentionally use the side effect of `git status` to re-write the index if any updates were detected: they first clean the worktree, run `git status` to update the index as well as show the output to the casual reader, then make the worktree dirty again and expect no changes to reported if running with a mocked fsmonitor hook. The problem with this strategy was that the index was written during said `git status` on the clean worktree for the *wrong* reason: not because the index was marked as changed (it wasn't), but because the recorded mtimes were racy with the index' own mtime. As the mtime granularity on Windows is 100 nanoseconds (see e.g. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/SysInfo/file-times), the mtimes of the files are often enough *not* racy with the index', so that that `git status` call currently does not always update the index (including the fsmonitor extension), causing the test case to fail. The obvious fix: if we change *any* index entry's `CE_FSMONITOR_VALID` flag, we should also mark the index as changed. That will cause the index to be written upon `git status`, *including* an updated fsmonitor extension. Side note: Even though the reader might think that the t7519 issue should be *much* more prevalent on Linux, given that the ext4 filesystem (that seems to be used by every Linux distribution) stores mtimes in nanosecond precision. However, ext4 uses `current_kernel_time()` (see https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/11599#comment762968_11599; it is *amazingly* hard to find any proper source of information about such ext4 questions) whose accuracy seems to depend on many factors but is safely worse than the 100-nanosecond granularity of NTFS (again, it is *horribly* hard to find anything remotely authoritative about this question). So it seems that the racy index condition that hid the bug fixed by this patch simply is a lot more likely on Linux than on Windows. But not impossible ;-) Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

*.[ch]: remove extern from function declarations using spatch

2019-05-05T06:20:06Z

There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations. Remove some instances of "extern" for function declarations which are caught by Coccinelle. Note that Coccinelle has some difficulty with processing functions with `__attribute__` or varargs so some `extern` declarations are left behind to be dealt with in a future patch. This was the Coccinelle patch used: @@ type T; identifier f; @@ - extern T f(...); and it was run with: $ git ls-files \*.{c,h} | grep -v ^compat/ | xargs spatch --sp-file contrib/coccinelle/noextern.cocci --in-place Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much as possible.
