Merge branch 'bw/forking-and-threading' into maint

2017-06-13T20:27:00Z

The "run-command" API implementation has been made more robust against dead-locking in a threaded environment. * bw/forking-and-threading: usage.c: drop set_error_handle() run-command: restrict PATH search to executable files run-command: expose is_executable function run-command: block signals between fork and execve run-command: add note about forking and threading run-command: handle dup2 and close errors in child run-command: eliminate calls to error handling functions in child run-command: don't die in child when duping /dev/null run-command: prepare child environment before forking string-list: add string_list_remove function run-command: use the async-signal-safe execv instead of execvp run-command: prepare command before forking t0061: run_command executes scripts without a #! line t5550: use write_script to generate post-update hook

usage.c: drop set_error_handle()

2017-05-15T04:00:25Z

The set_error_handle() function was introduced by 3b331e926 (vreportf: report to arbitrary filehandles, 2015-08-11) so that run-command could send post-fork, pre-exec errors to the parent's original stderr. That use went away in 79319b194 (run-command: eliminate calls to error handling functions in child, 2017-04-19), which pushes all of the error reporting to the parent. This leaves no callers of set_error_handle(). As we're not likely to add any new ones, let's drop it.

usage.c: add BUG() function

2017-05-15T02:29:51Z

There's a convention in Git's code base to write assertions as: if (...some_bad_thing...) die("BUG: the terrible thing happened"); with the idea that users should never see a "BUG:" message (but if they, it at least gives a clue what happened). We use die() here because it's convenient, but there are a few draw-backs: 1. Without parsing the messages, it's hard for callers to distinguish BUG assertions from regular errors. For instance, it would be nice if the test suite could check that we don't hit any assertions, but test_must_fail will pass BUG deaths as OK. 2. It would be useful to add more debugging features to BUG assertions, like file/line numbers or dumping core. 3. The die() handler can be replaced, and might not actually exit the whole program (e.g., it may just pthread_exit()). This is convenient for normal errors, but for an assertion failure (which is supposed to never happen), we're probably better off taking down the whole process as quickly and cleanly as possible. We could address these by checking in die() whether the error message starts with "BUG", and behaving appropriately. But there's little advantage at that point to sharing the die() code, and only downsides (e.g., we can't change the BUG() interface independently). Moreover, converting all of the existing BUG calls reveals that the test suite does indeed trigger a few of them. Instead, this patch introduces a new BUG() function, which prints an error before dying via SIGABRT. This gives us test suite checking and core dumps. The function is actually a macro (when supported) so that we can show the file/line number. We can convert die("BUG") invocations to BUG() in further patches, dealing with any test fallouts individually. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'dt/xgethostname-nul-termination'

2017-04-24T05:07:57Z

gethostname(2) may not NUL terminate the buffer if hostname does not fit; unfortunately there is no easy way to see if our buffer was too small, but at least this will make sure we will not end up using garbage past the end of the buffer. * dt/xgethostname-nul-termination: xgethostname: handle long hostnames use HOST_NAME_MAX to size buffers for gethostname(2)

xgethostname: handle long hostnames

2017-04-19T02:58:04Z

If the full hostname doesn't fit in the buffer supplied to gethostname, POSIX does not specify whether the buffer will be null-terminated, so to be safe, we should do it ourselves. Introduce new function, xgethostname, which ensures that there is always a \0 at the end of the buffer. Signed-off-by: David Turner Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

use HOST_NAME_MAX to size buffers for gethostname(2)

2017-04-19T02:57:41Z

POSIX limits the length of host names to HOST_NAME_MAX. Export the fallback definition from daemon.c and use this constant to make all buffers used with gethostname(2) big enough for any possible result and a terminating NUL.

move odb_* declarations out of git-compat-util.h

2017-03-16T18:04:34Z

These functions were originally conceived as wrapper functions similar to xmkstemp(). They were later moved by 463db9b10 (wrapper: move odb_* to environment.c, 2010-11-06). The more appropriate place for a declaration is in cache.h. While we're at it, let's add some basic docstrings. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

wrapper.c: remove unused gitmkstemps() function

2017-02-28T19:54:21Z

The last call to the mkstemps() function was removed in commit 659488326 ("wrapper.c: delete dead function git_mkstemps()", 22-04-2016). In order to support platforms without mkstemps(), this functionality was provided, along with a Makefile build variable (NO_MKSTEMPS), by the gitmkstemps() function. Remove the dead code, along with the defunct build machinery. Signed-off-by: Ramsay Jones Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
