trace2: create new combined trace facility

2019-02-22T23:27:59Z

Create a new unified tracing facility for git. The eventual intent is to replace the current trace_printf* and trace_performance* routines with a unified set of git_trace2* routines. In addition to the usual printf-style API, trace2 provides higer-level event verbs with fixed-fields allowing structured data to be written. This makes post-processing and analysis easier for external tools. Trace2 defines 3 output targets. These are set using the environment variables "GIT_TR2", "GIT_TR2_PERF", and "GIT_TR2_EVENT". These may be set to "1" or to an absolute pathname (just like the current GIT_TRACE). * GIT_TR2 is intended to be a replacement for GIT_TRACE and logs command summary data. * GIT_TR2_PERF is intended as a replacement for GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE. It extends the output with columns for the command process, thread, repo, absolute and relative elapsed times. It reports events for child process start/stop, thread start/stop, and per-thread function nesting. * GIT_TR2_EVENT is a new structured format. It writes event data as a series of JSON records. Calls to trace2 functions log to any of the 3 output targets enabled without the need to call different trace_printf* or trace_performance* routines.

Merge branch 'jc/run-command-report-exec-failure-fix' into maint

2018-12-15T03:24:34Z

A recent update accidentally squelched an error message when the run_command API failed to run a missing command, which has been corrected. * jc/run-command-report-exec-failure-fix: run-command: report exec failure

run-command: report exec failure

2018-12-12T08:06:50Z

In 321fd823 ("run-command: mark path lookup errors with ENOENT", 2018-10-24), we rewrote the logic to execute a command by looking in the directories on $PATH; as a side effect, a request to run a command that is not found on $PATH is noticed even before a child process is forked to execute it. We however stopped to report an exec failure in such a case by mistake. Add a logic to report the error unless silent-exec-failure is requested, to match the original code.

Clean up pthread_create() error handling

2018-11-05T04:42:11Z

Normally pthread_create() rarely fails. But with new pthreads wrapper, pthread_create() will return ENOSYS on a system without thread support. Threaded code _is_ protected by HAVE_THREADS and pthread_create() should never run in the first place. But the situation could change in the future and bugs may sneak in. Make sure that all pthread_create() reports the error cause. While at there, mark these strings for translation if they aren't. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

send-pack.c: move async's #ifdef NO_PTHREADS back to run-command.c

2018-11-05T04:42:11Z

On systems that do not support multithread, start_async() is implemented with fork(). This implementation details unfortunately leak out at least in send-pack.c [1]. To keep the code base clean of NO_PTHREADS, move the this #ifdef back to run-command.c. The new wrapper function async_with_fork() at least helps suggest that this special "close()" is related to async in fork mode.

t0061: adjust to test-tool transition

run-command: mark path lookup errors with ENOENT

2018-10-25T02:06:51Z

Since commit e3a434468f (run-command: use the async-signal-safe execv instead of execvp, 2017-04-19), prepare_cmd() does its own PATH lookup for any commands we run (on non-Windows platforms). However, its logic does not match the old execvp call when we fail to find a matching entry in the PATH. Instead of feeding the name directly to execv, execvp would consider that an ENOENT error. By continuing and passing the name directly to execv, we effectively behave as if "." was included at the end of the PATH. This can have confusing and even dangerous results. The fix itself is pretty straight-forward. There's a new test in t0061 to cover this explicitly, and I've also added a duplicate of the ENOENT test to ensure that we return the correct errno for this case.

Replace all die("BUG: ...") calls by BUG() ones

2018-05-06T10:06:13Z

In d8193743e08 (usage.c: add BUG() function, 2017-05-12), a new macro was introduced to use for reporting bugs instead of die(). It was then subsequently used to convert one single caller in 588a538ae55 (setup_git_env: convert die("BUG") to BUG(), 2017-05-12). The cover letter of the patch series containing this patch (cf 20170513032414.mfrwabt4hovujde2@sigill.intra.peff.net) is not terribly clear why only one call site was converted, or what the plan is for other, similar calls to die() to report bugs. Let's just convert all remaining ones in one fell swoop. This trick was performed by this invocation: sed -i 's/die("BUG: /BUG("/g' $(git grep -l 'die("BUG' \*.c) Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

run-command: use BUG() to report bugs, not die()

2018-05-06T10:06:13Z

The slightly misleading name die_bug() of the function intended to report a bug is actually called always, and only reports a bug if the passed-in parameter `err` is non-zero. It uses die_errno() to report the bug, to helpfully include the error message corresponding to `err`. However, as these messages indicate bugs, we really should use BUG(). And as BUG() is a macro to be able to report the exact file and line number, we need to convert die_bug() to a macro instead of only replacing the die_errno() by a call to BUG(). While at it, use a name more indicative of the purpose: CHECK_BUG(). Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
