Use SHELL_PATH from build system in run_command.c:prepare_shell_cmd During the testing of the 1.7.10 rc series on Solaris for OpenCSW, it was discovered that t7006-pager was failing due to finding a bad "sh" in PATH after a call to execvp("sh", ...). This call was setup by run_command.c:prepare_shell_cmd. The PATH in use at the time saw /opt/csw/bin given precedence to traditional Solaris paths such as /usr/bin and /usr/xpg4/bin. A package named schilyutils (Joerg Schilling's utilities) was installed on the build system and it delivered a modified version of the traditional Solaris /usr/bin/sh as /opt/csw/bin/sh. This version of sh suffers from many of the same problems as /usr/bin/sh. The command-specific pager test failed due to the broken "sh" handling ^ as a pipe character. It tried to fork two processes when it encountered "sed s/^/foo:/" as the pager command. This problem was entirely dependent on the PATH of the user at runtime. Possible fixes for this issue are: 1. Use the standard system() or popen() which both launch a POSIX shell on Solaris as long as _POSIX_SOURCE is defined. 2. The git wrapper could prepend SANE_TOOL_PATH to PATH thus forcing all unqualified commands run to use the known good tools on the system. 3. The run_command.c:prepare_shell_command() could use the same SHELL_PATH that is in the #! line of all all scripts and not rely on PATH to find the sh to run. Option 1 would preclude opening a bidirectional pipe to a filter script and would also break git for Windows as cmd.exe is spawned from system() (cf. v1.7.5-rc0~144^2, "alias: use run_command api to execute aliases, 2011-01-07). Option 2 is not friendly to users as it would negate their ability to use tools of their choice in many cases. Alternately, injecting SANE_TOOL_PATH such that it takes precedence over /bin and /usr/bin (and anything with lower precedence than those paths) as git-sh-setup.sh does would not solve the problem either as the user environment could still allow a bad sh to be found. (Many OpenCSW users will have /opt/csw/bin leading their PATH and some subset would have schilyutils installed.) Option 3 allows us to use a known good shell while still honouring the users' PATH for the utilities being run. Thus, it solves the problem while not negatively impacting either users or git's ability to run external commands in convenient ways. Essentially, the shell is a special case of tool that should not rely on SANE_TOOL_PATH and must be called explicitly. With this patch applied, any code path leading to run_command.c:prepare_shell_cmd can count on using the same sane shell that all shell scripts in the git suite use. Both the build system and run_command.c will default this shell to /bin/sh unless overridden.

Windows: avoid the "dup dance" when spawning a child process When stdin, stdout, or stderr must be redirected for a child process that on Windows is spawned using one of the spawn() functions of Microsoft's C runtime, then there is no choice other than to 1. make a backup copy of fd 0,1,2 with dup 2. dup2 the redirection source fd into 0,1,2 3. spawn 4. dup2 the backup back into 0,1,2 5. close the backup copy and the redirection source We used this idiom as well -- but we are not using the spawn() functions anymore! Instead, we have our own implementation. We had hardcoded that stdin, stdout, and stderr of the child process were inherited from the parent's fds 0, 1, and 2. But we can actually specify any fd. With this patch, the fds to inherit are passed from start_command()'s WIN32 section to our spawn implementation. This way, we can avoid the backup copies of the fds. The backup copies were a bug waiting to surface: The OS handles underlying the dup()ed fds were inherited by the child process (but were not associated with a file descriptor in the child). Consequently, the file or pipe represented by the OS handle remained open even after the backup copy was closed in the parent process until the child exited. Since our implementation of pipe() creates non-inheritable OS handles, we still dup() file descriptors in start_command() because dup() happens to create inheritable duplicates. (A nice side effect is that the fd cleanup in start_command is the same for Windows and Unix and remains unchanged.)

run-command: encode signal death as a positive integer When a sub-command dies due to a signal, we encode the signal number into the numeric exit status as "signal - 128". This is easy to identify (versus a regular positive error code), and when cast to an unsigned integer (e.g., by feeding it to exit), matches what a POSIX shell would return when reporting a signal death in $? or through its own exit code. So we have a negative value inside the code, but once it passes across an exit() barrier, it looks positive (and any code we receive from a sub-shell will have the positive form). E.g., death by SIGPIPE (signal 13) will look like -115 to us in inside git, but will end up as 141 when we call exit() with it. And a program killed by SIGPIPE but run via the shell will come to us with an exit code of 141. Unfortunately, this means that when the "use_shell" option is set, we need to be on the lookout for _both_ forms. We might or might not have actually invoked the shell (because we optimize out some useless shell calls). If we didn't invoke the shell, we will will see the sub-process's signal death directly, and run-command converts it into a negative value. But if we did invoke the shell, we will see the shell's 128+signal exit status. To be thorough, we would need to check both, or cast the value to an unsigned char (after checking that it is not -1, which is a magic error value). Fortunately, most callsites do not care at all whether the exit was from a code or from a signal; they merely check for a non-zero status, and sometimes propagate the error via exit(). But for the callers that do care, we can make life slightly easier by just using the consistent positive form. This actually fixes two minor bugs: 1. In launch_editor, we check whether the editor died from SIGINT or SIGQUIT. But we checked only the negative form, meaning that we would fail to notice a signal death exit code which was propagated through the shell. 2. In handle_alias, we assume that a negative return value from run_command means that errno tells us something interesting (like a fork failure, or ENOENT). Otherwise, we simply propagate the exit code. Negative signal death codes confuse us, and we print a useless "unable to run alias 'foo': Success" message. By encoding signal deaths using the positive form, the existing code just propagates it as it would a normal non-zero exit code. The downside is that callers of run_command can no longer differentiate between a signal received directly by the sub-process, and one propagated. However, no caller currently cares, and since we already optimize out some calls to the shell under the hood, that distinction is not something that should be relied upon by callers. Fix the same logic in t/test-terminal.perl for consistency [jc: raised by Jonathan in the discussion].

run_command: report system call errors instead of returning error codes The motivation for this change is that system call failures are serious errors that should be reported to the user, but only few callers took the burden to decode the error codes that the functions returned into error messages. If at all, then only an unspecific error message was given. A prominent example is this: $ git upload-pack . | : fatal: unable to run 'git-upload-pack' In this example, git-upload-pack, the external command invoked through the git wrapper, dies due to SIGPIPE, but the git wrapper does not bother to report the real cause. In fact, this very error message is copied to the syslog if git-daemon's client aborts the connection early. With this change, system call failures are reported immediately after the failure and only a generic failure code is returned to the caller. In the above example the error is now to the point: $ git upload-pack . | : error: git-upload-pack died of signal Note that there is no error report if the invoked program terminated with a non-zero exit code, because it is reasonable to expect that the invoked program has already reported an error. (But many run_command call sites nevertheless write a generic error message.) There was one special return code that was used to identify the case where run_command failed because the requested program could not be exec'd. This special case is now treated like a system call failure with errno set to ENOENT. No error is reported in this case, because the call site in git.c expects this as a normal result. Therefore, the callers that carefully decoded the return value still check for this condition. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

notice error exit from pager If the pager fails to run, git produces no output, e.g.: $ GIT_PAGER=not-a-command git log The error reporting fails for two reasons: (1) start_command: There is a mechanism that detects errors during execvp introduced in 2b541bf8 (start_command: detect execvp failures early). The child writes one byte to a pipe only if execvp fails. The parent waits for either EOF, when the successful execvp automatically closes the pipe (see FD_CLOEXEC in fcntl(1)), or it reads a single byte, in which case it knows that the execvp failed. This mechanism is incompatible with the workaround introduced in 35ce8622 (pager: Work around window resizing bug in 'less'), which waits for input from the parent before the exec. Since both the parent and the child are waiting for input from each other, that would result in a deadlock. In order to avoid that, the mechanism is disabled by closing the child_notifier file descriptor. (2) finish_command: The parent correctly detects the 127 exit status from the child, but the error output goes nowhere, since by that time it is already being redirected to the child. No simple solution for (1) comes to mind. Number (2) can be solved by not sending error output to the pager. Not redirecting error output to the pager can result in the pager overwriting error output with standard output, however. Since there is no reliable way to handle error reporting in the parent, produce the output in the child instead.

Windows: avoid the "dup dance" when spawning a child process When stdin, stdout, or stderr must be redirected for a child process that on Windows is spawned using one of the spawn() functions of Microsoft's C runtime, then there is no choice other than to 1. make a backup copy of fd 0,1,2 with dup 2. dup2 the redirection source fd into 0,1,2 3. spawn 4. dup2 the backup back into 0,1,2 5. close the backup copy and the redirection source We used this idiom as well -- but we are not using the spawn() functions anymore! Instead, we have our own implementation. We had hardcoded that stdin, stdout, and stderr of the child process were inherited from the parent's fds 0, 1, and 2. But we can actually specify any fd. With this patch, the fds to inherit are passed from start_command()'s WIN32 section to our spawn implementation. This way, we can avoid the backup copies of the fds. The backup copies were a bug waiting to surface: The OS handles underlying the dup()ed fds were inherited by the child process (but were not associated with a file descriptor in the child). Consequently, the file or pipe represented by the OS handle remained open even after the backup copy was closed in the parent process until the child exited. Since our implementation of pipe() creates non-inheritable OS handles, we still dup() file descriptors in start_command() because dup() happens to create inheritable duplicates. (A nice side effect is that the fd cleanup in start_command is the same for Windows and Unix and remains unchanged.)

run-command: use thread-aware die_is_recursing routine If we die from an async thread, we do not actually exit the program, but just kill the thread. This confuses the static counter in usage.c's default die_is_recursing function; it updates the counter once for the thread death, and then when the main program calls die() itself, it erroneously thinks we are recursing. The end result is that we print "recursion detected in die handler" instead of the real error in such a case (the easiest way to trigger this is having a remote connection hang up while running a sideband demultiplexer). This patch solves it by using a per-thread counter when the async_die function is installed; we detect recursion in each thread (including the main one), but they do not step on each other's toes. Other threaded code does not need to worry about this, as they do not install specialized die handlers; they just let a die() from a sub-thread take down the whole program. Since we are overriding the default recursion-check function, there is an interesting corner case that is not a problem, but bears some explanation. Imagine the main thread calls die(), and then in the die_routine starts an async call. We will switch to using thread-local storage, which starts at 0, for the main thread's counter, even though the original counter was actually at 1. That's OK, though, for two reasons: 1. It would miss only the first level of recursion, and would still find recursive failures inside the async helper. 2. We do not currently and are not likely to start doing anything as heavyweight as starting an async routine from within a die routine or helper function.

run_command: report system call errors instead of returning error codes The motivation for this change is that system call failures are serious errors that should be reported to the user, but only few callers took the burden to decode the error codes that the functions returned into error messages. If at all, then only an unspecific error message was given. A prominent example is this: $ git upload-pack . | : fatal: unable to run 'git-upload-pack' In this example, git-upload-pack, the external command invoked through the git wrapper, dies due to SIGPIPE, but the git wrapper does not bother to report the real cause. In fact, this very error message is copied to the syslog if git-daemon's client aborts the connection early. With this change, system call failures are reported immediately after the failure and only a generic failure code is returned to the caller. In the above example the error is now to the point: $ git upload-pack . | : error: git-upload-pack died of signal Note that there is no error report if the invoked program terminated with a non-zero exit code, because it is reasonable to expect that the invoked program has already reported an error. (But many run_command call sites nevertheless write a generic error message.) There was one special return code that was used to identify the case where run_command failed because the requested program could not be exec'd. This special case is now treated like a system call failure with errno set to ENOENT. No error is reported in this case, because the call site in git.c expects this as a normal result. Therefore, the callers that carefully decoded the return value still check for this condition. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
