2025-04-20perf: do allow `GIT_PERF_*` to be overridden againJohannes Schindelin1-0/+12
A common way to run Git's performance benchmarks on repositories other than Git's own repository (which is not exactly large when compared to actually large repositories) is to run them like this: GIT_PERF_LARGE_REPO=/path/to/my/large/repo \ ./p1234-*.sh -ivx Contrary to developers' common expectations, this failed to work when Git was built with a different `GIT_PERF_LARGE_REPO` value specified at build time: That build-time option would have been written to the `GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS` file, which in turn would have been sourced by `test-lib.sh`, which in turn would have been sourced by `perf-lib.sh`, which in turn would have been sourced by the perf test script, _overriding_ the environment variable specified in the way illustrated above. Since perf tests are not run as part of the build, this most likely unintended behavior was not caught and certainly not fixed, as the `GIT_PERF_*` values would have been empty at build-time. However, in 4638e8806e3a (Makefile: use common template for GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS, 2024-12-06), a subtle change of behavior was introduced: Whereas before, a couple of build-time options (the `GIT_PERF_*` ones included) were written to `GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS` only when their values were non-empty. With this commit, they are also written when they are empty. The consequence is that above-mentioned way to run the perf tests will not only fail to pick up the desired `GIT_PERF_*` settings when they were specified differently while building Git, instead the desired settings will be only respected when specified _while building_ Git. Let's work around the original issue, i.e. let `GIT_PERF_*` environment variables override what is recorded in `GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS`. Note that this is just the tip of the iceberg, there are a couple of `GIT_TEST_*` options that may want a similar fix in `test-lib.sh`. Due to time constraints on my side, this here patch focuses exclusively on the `GIT_PERF_*` settings.

2025-04-17config.mak.uname: set CSPRNG_METHOD to getrandom on LinuxRamsay Jones1-0/+1
Commit 05cd988dce ("wrapper: add a helper to generate numbers from a CSPRNG", 2022-01-17) added a csprng_bytes() function which used one of several interfaces to provide a source of cryptographically secure pseudorandom numbers. The CSPRNG_METHOD make variable was provided to determine the choice of available 'backends' for the source of random bytes. Commit 05cd988dce did not set CSPRNG_METHOD in the Linux section of the config.mak.uname file, so it defaults to using '/dev/urandom' as the source of random bytes. The 'backend' values which could be used on Linux are 'arc4random', 'getrandom' or 'getentropy' ('openssl' is an option, but seems to be discouraged). The arc4random routines (arc4random_buf() is the one actually used) were added to glibc in version 2.36, while both getrandom() and getentropy() were included in 2.25. So, some of the more up-to-date distributions of Linux (eg Debian 12, Ubuntu 24.04) would be able to use the 'arc4random' setting. All currently supported distributions have glibc 2.25 or later (RHEL 8 has v2.28) and, therefore, have support for the 'getrandom' and 'getentropy' settings. The arc4random routines on the *BSDs (along with cygwin) implement the ChaCha20 stream cipher algorithm (see RFC8439) in userspace, rather than as a system call, and are thus somewhat faster (having avoided a context switch to the kernel). In contrast, on Linux all three functions are simple wrappers around the same kernel CSPRNG syscall. If the meson build system is used on a newer platform, then they will be configured to use 'arc4random', whereas the make build will currently default to using '/dev/urandom' on Linux. Since there is no advantage, in terms of performance, to the 'arc4random' setting, the 'getrandom' setting should be preferred from an availability perspective. (Also, the current uses of csprng_bytes() are not in any hot path). In order to set an appropriate default, set the CSPRNG_METHOD build variable to 'getrandom' in the Linux section of the 'config.mak.uname' file.

2025-04-17parse-options: detect mismatches in integer signednessPatrick Steinhardt6-9/+16
It was reported that "t5620-backfill.sh" fails on s390x and sparc64 in a test that exercises the "--min-batch-size" command line option. The symptom was that the option didn't seem to have an effect: we didn't fetch objects with a batch size of 20, but instead fetched all objects at once. As it turns out, the root cause is that `--min-batch-size` uses `OPT_INTEGER()` to parse the command line option. While this macro expects the caller to pass a pointer to an integer, we instead pass a pointer to a `size_t`. This coincidentally works on most platforms, but it breaks apart on the mentioned platforms because they are big endian. This issue isn't specific to git-backfill(1): there are a couple of other places where we have the same type confusion going on. This indicates that the issue really is the interface that the parse-options subsystem provides -- it is simply too easy to get this wrong as there isn't any kind of compiler warning, and things just work on the most common systems. Address the systemic issue by introducing two new build asserts `BARF_UNLESS_SIGNED()` and `BARF_UNLESS_UNSIGNED()`. As the names already hint at, those macros will cause a compiler error when passed a value that is not signed or unsigned, respectively. Adapt `OPT_INTEGER()`, `OPT_UNSIGNED()` as well as `OPT_MAGNITUDE()` to use those asserts. This uncovers a small set of sites where we indeed have the same bug as in git-backfill(1). Adapt all of them to use the correct option.

2025-04-17parse-options: introduce precision handling for `OPTION_INTEGER`Patrick Steinhardt8-14/+75
The `OPTION_INTEGER` option type accepts a signed integer. The type of the underlying integer is a simple `int`, which restricts the range of values accepted by such options. But there is a catch: because the caller provides a pointer to the value via the `.value` field, which is a simple void pointer. This has two consequences: - There is no check whether the passed value is sufficiently long to store the entire range of `int`. This can lead to integer wraparound in the best case and out-of-bounds writes in the worst case. - Even when a caller knows that they want to store a value larger than `INT_MAX` they don't have a way to do so. In practice this doesn't tend to be a huge issue because users typically don't end up passing huge values to most commands. But the parsing logic is demonstrably broken, and it is too easy to get the calling convention wrong. Improve the situation by introducing a new `precision` field into the structure. This field gets assigned automatically by `OPT_INTEGER_F()` and tracks the size of the passed value. Like this it becomes possible for the caller to pass arbitrarily-sized integers and the underlying logic knows to handle it correctly by doing range checks. Furthermore, convert the code to use `strtoimax()` intstead of `strtol()` so that we can also parse values larger than `LONG_MAX`. Note that we do not yet assert signedness of the passed variable, which is another source of bugs. This will be handled in a subsequent commit.

2025-04-17parse-options: rename `OPT_MAGNITUDE()` to `OPT_UNSIGNED()`Patrick Steinhardt9-47/+47
With the preceding commit, `OPT_INTEGER()` has learned to support unit factors. Consequently, the major differencen between `OPT_INTEGER()` and `OPT_MAGNITUDE()` isn't the support of unit factors anymore, as both of them do support them now. Instead, the difference is that one handles signed and the other handles unsigned integers. Adapt the name of `OPT_MAGNITUDE()` accordingly by renaming it to `OPT_UNSIGNED()`.

2025-04-17parse-options: support unit factors in `OPT_INTEGER()`Patrick Steinhardt3-7/+11
There are two main differences between `OPT_INTEGER()` and `OPT_MAGNITUDE()`: - The former parses signed integers whereas the latter parses unsigned integers. - The latter parses unit factors like 'k', 'm' or 'g'. While the first difference makes obvious sense, there isn't really a good reason why signed integers shouldn't support unit factors, too. This inconsistency will also become a bit of a problem with subsequent commits, where we will fix a couple of callsites that pass an unsigned integer to `OPT_INTEGER()`. There are three options: - We could adapt those users to instead pass a signed integer, but this would needlessly extend the range of accepted integer values. - We could convert them to use `OPT_MAGNITUDE()`, as it only accepts unsigned integers. But now we have the inconsistency that we also start to accept unit factors. - We could introduce `OPT_UNSIGNED()` as equivalent to `OPT_INTEGER()` so that it knows to only accept unsigned integers without unit suffix. Introducing a whole new option type feels a bit excessive. There also isn't really a good reason why `OPT_INTEGER()` cannot be extended to also accept unit factors: all valid values passed to such options cannot have a unit factors right now, so there wouldn't be any ambiguity. Refactor `OPT_INTEGER()` to use `git_parse_int()`, which knows to interpret unit factors. This removes the inconsistency between the signed and unsigned options so that we can easily fix up callsites that pass the wrong integer type right now.

2025-04-17global: use designated initializers for optionsPatrick Steinhardt24-158/+443
While we expose macros for most of our different option types understood by the "parse-options" subsystem, not every combination of fields that has one as that would otherwise quickly lead to an explosion of macros. Instead, we just initialize structures manually for those variants of fields that don't have a macro. Callsites that open-code these structure initialization don't use designated initializers though and instead just provide values for each of the fields that they want to initialize. This has three significant downsides: - Callsites need to specify all values up to the last field that they care about. This often includes fields that should simply be left at their default zero-initialized state, which adds distraction. - Any reader not deeply familiar with the layout of the structure has a hard time figuring out what the respective initializers mean. - Reordering or introducing new fields in the middle of the structure is impossible without adapting all callsites. Convert all sites to instead use designated initializers, which we have started using in our codebase quite a while ago. This allows us to skip any default-initialized fields, gives the reader context by specifying the field names and allows us to reorder or introduce new fields where we want to.

2025-04-17parse: fix off-by-one for minimum signed valuesPatrick Steinhardt1-1/+1
We accept a maximum value in `git_parse_signed()` that restricts the range of accepted integers. As the intent is to pass `INT*_MAX` values here, this maximum doesn't only act as the upper bound, but also as the implicit lower bound of the accepted range. This lower bound is calculated by negating the maximum. But given that the maximum value of a signed integer with N bits is `2^(N-1)-1` whereas the minimum value is `-2^(N-1)` we have an off-by-one error in the lower bound. Fix this off-by-one error by using `-max - 1` as lower bound instead. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2025-04-16builtin/gc.c: correct RAM calculation when using sysinfoRamsay Jones1-2/+7
The man page for sysinfo(2) on Linux states that (from v2.3.48) the sizes of the memory and swap fields, of the returned structure, are given as multiples of 'mem_unit' bytes. In earlier versions (prior to v2.3.23 on i386 in particular), the 'mem_unit' field was not part of the structure, and all sizes were measured in bytes. The man page does not discuss the motivation for this change, but it is possible that the change was intended for the, relatively rare, 32-bit platform with more than 4GB of memory. The total_ram() function makes the assumption that the 'totalram' field of the 'struct sysinfo' is measured in bytes, or alternatively that the 'mem_unit' field is always equal to one. Having writen a program to call the sysinfo() function and print the structure fields, it seems that, on Linux x84_64 and i686 anyway, the 'mem_unit' field is indeed set to one (note that the 32-bit system had only 2GB ram). However, cygwin also has an sysinfo() implementation, which gives the following values: $ ./sysinfo uptime: 21381 loads: 0, 0, 0 total ram: 2074637 free ram: 843237 shared ram: 0 buffer ram: 0 total swap: 327680 free swap: 306932 procs: 15 total high: 0 free high: 0 mem_unit: 4096 total ram: 8497713152 $ [This laptop has 8GB ram, so a little bit seems to be missing. ;) ] Modify the total_ram() function to allow for the possibility that the memory size is not specified in bytes (ie 'mem_unit' is greater than one).

2025-04-16config.mak.uname: only set NO_REGEX on cygwin for v1.7Ramsay Jones2-2/+4
Commit 92f63d2b05 ("Cygwin 1.7 needs compat/regex", 2013-07-19) set the NO_REGEX build variable because the platform regex library failed some of the tests (t4018 and t4034), which passed just fine with the compat library. After some time (maybe a year or two), the platform library had been updated (with an import from FreeBSD, I believe) and now passed the full test-suite. This would be about the time of the v1.7 -> v2.0 transition in 2015. I had a patch ready to send, but just didn't get around to submitting it to the list. At some point in the interim, the official cygwin git package used the autoconf build system, which sets the NO_REGEX variable to use the platform regex library functions. The new meson build system does likewise. The cygwin platform regex library, in addition to now passing the tests which formerly failed, now passes an 'test_expect_failure' test in the t7815-grep-binary test file. In particular, test #12 'git grep .fi a' which determines that the regex pattern '.' matches a NUL character. The commit f96e56733a ("grep: use REG_STARTEND for all matching if available", 2010-05-22) added the test in question, but it does not give any indication as to why the test was framed as an expected fail, rather than a 'positive' test that the 'git grep' command fails to match a NUL. Note that the previous test #11 was also originally marked in that commit as a 'test_expect_failure', but was flipped to an 'success' test in commit 7e36de5859 ("t/t7008-grep-binary.sh: un-TODO a test that needs REG_STARTEND", 2010-08-17). In order to produce the same NO_REGEX configuration from autoconf, meson and make, modify config.mak.uname to only set NO_REGEX for cygwin v1.7. In addition, skip test t7815.12 on cygwin, by adding the !CYGWIN pre- requisite to the test header, which (among other things) removes an '...; please update test(s)' comment.

Commit 817151e61a ("Rename safe_strncpy() to strlcpy().", 2006-06-24) added the NO_STRLCPY make variable to allow the conditional use of the gitstrlcpy() compat function on those platforms which didn't provide the 'standard' strlcpy() function. Recently, in the summer of 2023, the strlcpy() and strlcat() functions were added to the glibc library (v2.38), so some of the more up-to-date Linux distributions no longer need to set NO_STRLCPY. For example, both Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and RHEL 10 beta have glibc v2.39. However, several distributions, which are still within their support window, have an earlier version and must still use the 'compat' version of strlcpy(). If the meson or autoconf build systems are used on newer platforms, then they will be configured to to use strlcpy() from glibc, whereas the make build will always choose the 'compat' function instead. Add a note to the config.mak.uname file, in the Linux section, to prompt make users to override NO_STRLCPY in the config.mak file, if appropriate.

Commit d19e3a5b21 ("Makefile: add NEEDS_LIBRT to optionally link with librt", 2016-07-07) introduced the NEEDS_LIBRT build variable to disassociate the HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME variable with the unconditional linking of the librt library. At one time, the clock_gettime() function was not available as part of the libc library and (on some unix systems) required linking with librt. Commit 52fcec75ce ("config.mak.uname: define NEEDS_LIBRT under Linux, for now", 2016-07-10) set the NEEDS_LIBRT variable in the Linux section of the config.mak.uname file, since Debian 7 (wheezy) was one of the few remaining distributions, with glibc 2.13, that required linking with librt for clock_gettime(). Note that from glibc version 2.17, this is no longer necessary. Note that Debian 7.0 was released on May 4th, 2013 and benefited from long term support until May 2018 when it went end-of-life. Since that time, Linux distributions use a more up-to-date library, for example: Distribution version end of support Debian 8 2.19 30th June 2020 RHEL 8 2.28 31st May 2024 * Ubuntu 16.04 2.23 30th Apr 2021 * paid 'Maintenance support' ends 31st May 2029 Since it is no longer required, remove NEEDS_LIBRT from the Makefile and config.mak.uname.

Some preprocessor -Defines have defaults set in the source code when they have not been provided to the C compiler. In this case, there is no need to pass them on the command-line, unless the build requires a non-standard value.

Add the preprocessor -Defines to the 'libgit_c_args' only if the values set with the corresponding 'options' are different to these standard values. Also, the 'git-var' documentation contains some conditional text which documents the chosen compiled in value, which would not read well for the standard values. Similar to the above, only add the corresponding '-a' attribute arguments to the 'asciidoc_common_options' variable, if the values set in the 'options' are different to these standard values.

2025-04-16Makefile: only set some BASIC_CFLAGS when RUNTIME_PREFIX is setRamsay Jones1-17/+21
Several build variables only have any meaning when the RUNTIME_PREFIX variable has been set. In particular, the following build variables are otherwise ignored: HAVE_BSD_KERN_PROC_SYSCTL PROCFS_EXECUTABLE_PATH HAVE_NS_GET_EXECUTABLE_PATH HAVE_ZOS_GET_EXECUTABLE_PATH HAVE_WPGMPTR Make setting BASIC_CFLAGS, for each of these variables, conditional on the RUNTIME_PREFIX being defined.

2025-04-16meson.build: remove -DCURL_DISABLE_TYPECHECKRamsay Jones1-1/+0
Commit 9371322a60 ("sparse: suppress some \"using sizeof on a function\" warnings", 2013-10-06) used target-specific variable assignments to add -DCURL_DISABLE_TYPECHECK to SPARSE_FLAGS for each of the files affected by the "typecheck-gcc.h" warnings. (http-push.c, http.c, http-walker.c and remote-curl.c). These warnings are only issued by sparse, and not by gcc, so we do not want to disable the 'type checking' for non-sparse targets. The meson build does not provide any sparse targets, so there is no need to use the CURL_DISABLE_TYPECHECK preprocessor flag with the c compiler. In order to re-enable the curl 'type checking' in the meson build, remove the assignment of -DCURL_DISABLE_TYPECHECK to libgit_c_args.
