5aad85c7f1 fscache: load directories only once
If multiple threads access a directory that is not yet in the cache, the
directory will be loaded by each thread. Only one of the results is added
to the cache, all others are leaked. This wastes performance and memory.

On cache miss, add a future object to the cache to indicate that the
directory is currently being loaded. Subsequent threads register themselves
with the future object and wait. When the first thread has loaded the
directory, it replaces the future object with the result and notifies
waiting threads.

9aa260bf9b Win32: add a cache below mingw's lstat and dirent implementations
Checking the work tree status is quite slow on Windows, due to slow lstat
emulation (git calls lstat once for each file in the index). Windows
operating system APIs seem to be much better at scanning the status
of entire directories than checking single files.

Add an lstat implementation that uses a cache for lstat data. Cache misses
read the entire parent directory and add it to the cache. Subsequent lstat
calls for the same directory are served directly from the cache.

Also implement opendir / readdir / closedir so that they create and use
directory listings in the cache.

The cache doesn't track file system changes and doesn't plug into any
modifying file APIs, so it has to be explicitly enabled for git functions
that don't modify the working copy.

Note: in an earlier version of this patch, the cache was always active and
tracked file system changes via ReadDirectoryChangesW. However, this was
much more complex and had negative impact on the performance of modifying
git commands such as 'git checkout'.

99fb118b6b add infrastructure for read-only file system level caches
Add a macro to mark code sections that only read from the file system,
along with a config option and documentation.

This facilitates implementation of relatively simple file system level
caches without the need to synchronize with the file system.

Enable read-only sections for 'git status' and preload_index.

a7f452ad22 Win32: make the lstat implementation pluggable
Emulating the POSIX lstat API on Windows via GetFileAttributes[Ex] is quite
slow. Windows operating system APIs seem to be much better at scanning the
status of entire directories than checking single files. A caching
implementation may improve performance by bulk-reading entire directories
or reusing data obtained via opendir / readdir.

Make the lstat implementation pluggable so that it can be switched at
runtime, e.g. based on a config option.

dca303f19c Win32: Make the dirent implementation pluggable
Emulating the POSIX dirent API on Windows via FindFirstFile/FindNextFile is
pretty staightforward, however, most of the information provided in the
WIN32_FIND_DATA structure is thrown away in the process. A more
sophisticated implementation may cache this data, e.g. for later reuse in
calls to lstat.

Make the dirent implementation pluggable so that it can be switched at
runtime, e.g. based on a config option.

Define a base DIR structure with pointers to readdir/closedir that match
the opendir implementation (i.e. similar to vtable pointers in OOP).
Define readdir/closedir so that they call the function pointers in the DIR
structure. This allows to choose the opendir implementation on a
call-by-call basis.

Move the fixed sized dirent.d_name buffer to the dirent-specific DIR
structure, as d_name may be implementation specific (e.g. a caching
implementation may just set d_name to point into the cache instead of
copying the entire file name string).

ee0c8fbffd mingw: unset PERL5LIB by default
Git for Windows ships with its own Perl interpreter, and insists on
using it, so it will most likely wreak havoc if PERL5LIB is set before
launching Git.

Let's just unset that environment variables when spawning processes.

To make this feature extensible (and overrideable), there is a new
config setting `core.unsetenvvars` that allows specifying a
comma-separated list of names to unset before spawning processes.

5a8a41a24a Allow for platform-specific core.* config settings
In the Git for Windows project, we have ample precendent for config
settings that apply to Windows, and to Windows only.

Let's formalize this concept by introducing a platform_core_config()
function that can be #define'd in a platform-specific manner.

This will allow us to contain platform-specific code better, as the
corresponding variables no longer need to be exported so that they can
be defined in environment.c and be set in config.c

ca2baa3f75 compat: move strdup(3) replacement to its own file
Move our implementation of strdup(3) out of compat/nedmalloc/ and
allow it to be used independently from USE_NED_ALLOCATOR.  The
original nedmalloc doesn't come with strdup() and doesn't need it.
Only _users_ of nedmalloc need it, which was added when we imported
it to our compat/ hierarchy.

This reduces the difference of our copy of nedmalloc from the
original, making it easier to update, and allows for easier testing
and reusing of our version of strdup().

3dc01702df Merge branch 'bw/mingw-avoid-inheriting-fd-to-lockfile'
The tempfile (hence its user lockfile) API lets the caller to open
a file descriptor to a temporary file, write into it and then
finalize it by first closing the filehandle and then either
removing or renaming the temporary file.  When the process spawns a
subprocess after obtaining the file descriptor, and if the
subprocess has not exited when the attempt to remove or rename is
made, the last step fails on Windows, because the subprocess has
the file descriptor still open.  Open tempfile with O_CLOEXEC flag
to avoid this (on Windows, this is mapped to O_NOINHERIT).

05d1ed6148 mingw: ensure temporary file handles are not inherited by child processes
When the index is locked and child processes inherit the handle to
said lock and the parent process wants to remove the lock before the
child process exits, on Windows there is a problem: it won't work
because files cannot be deleted if a process holds a handle on them.
The symptom:

    Rename from 'xxx/.git/index.lock' to 'xxx/.git/index' failed.
    Should I try again? (y/n)

Spawning child processes with bInheritHandles==FALSE would not work
because no file handles would be inherited, not even the hStdXxx
handles in STARTUPINFO (stdin/stdout/stderr).

Opening every file with O_NOINHERIT does not work, either, as e.g.
git-upload-pack expects inherited file handles.

This leaves us with the only way out: creating temp files with the
O_NOINHERIT flag. This flag is Windows-specific, however. For our
purposes, it is equivalent to O_CLOEXEC (which does not exist on
Windows), so let's just open temporary files with the O_CLOEXEC flag and
map that flag to O_NOINHERIT on Windows.

As Eric Wong pointed out, we need to be careful to handle the case where
the Linux headers used to compile Git support O_CLOEXEC but the Linux
kernel used to run Git does not: it returns an EINVAL.

This fixes the test that we just introduced to demonstrate the problem.

Since 4804aab (help (Windows): Display HTML in default browser using

reasons.

However, this change ignores the `help.browser` config setting. Together
with browsing help not being a performance-critical operation, let's

c6c9e1885c nedmalloc: work around overzealous GCC 6 warning
With GCC 6, the strdup() function is declared with the "nonnull"
attribute, stating that it is not allowed to pass a NULL value as
parameter.

In nedmalloc()'s reimplementation of strdup(), Postel's Law is heeded
and NULL parameters are handled gracefully. GCC 6 complains about that
now because it thinks that NULL cannot be passed to strdup() anyway.

Because the callers in this project of strdup() must be prepared to
call any implementation of strdup() supplied by the platform, so it
is pointless to pretend that it is OK to call it with NULL.

Remove the conditional based on NULL-ness of the input; this
squelches the warning.  Check the return value of malloc() instead
to make sure we actually got the memory to write to.

See https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-6/porting_to.html for details.

bd8f005583 regex: fix a SIZE_MAX macro redefinition warning
Since commit 56a1a3ab ("Silence GCC's \"cast of pointer to integer of a
different size\" warning", 26-10-2015), sparse has been issuing a macro
redefinition warning for the SIZE_MAX macro. However, gcc did not issue
any such warning.

After commit 56a1a3ab, in terms of the order of #includes and #defines,
the code looked something like:

  $ cat -n junk.c
       1	#include <stddef.h>
       2
       3	#define SIZE_MAX ((size_t) -1)
       4
       5	#include <stdint.h>
       6
       7	int main(int argc, char *argv[])
       8	{
       9		return 0;
      10	}
  $
  $ gcc junk.c
  $

However, if you compile that file with -Wsystem-headers, then it will
also issue a warning. Having set -Wsystem-headers in CFLAGS, using the
config.mak file, then (on cygwin):

  $ make compat/regex/regex.o
      CC compat/regex/regex.o
  In file included from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/4.9.3/include/stdint.h:9:0,
                   from compat/regex/regcomp.c:21,
                   from compat/regex/regex.c:77:
  /usr/include/stdint.h:362:0: warning: "SIZE_MAX" redefined
   #define SIZE_MAX (__SIZE_MAX__)
   ^
  In file included from compat/regex/regex.c:69:0:
  compat/regex/regex_internal.h:108:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition
   # define SIZE_MAX ((size_t) -1)
   ^
  $

The compilation of the compat/regex code is somewhat unusual in that the
regex.c file directly #includes the other c files (regcomp.c, regexec.c
and regex_internal.c). Commit 56a1a3ab added an #include of <stdint.h>
to the regcomp.c file, which results in the redefinition, since this is
included after the regex_internal.h header. This header file contains a
'fallback' definition for SIZE_MAX, in order to support systems which do
not have the <stdint.h> header (the HAVE_STDINT_H macro is not defined).

In order to suppress the warning, we move the #include of <stdint.h>
from regcomp.c to the start of the compilation unit, close to the top
of regex.c, prior to the #include of the regex_internal.h header.

f7f90e0f4f mingw: make isatty() recognize MSYS2's pseudo terminals (/dev/pty*)
MSYS2 emulates pseudo terminals via named pipes, and isatty() returns 0
for such file descriptors. Therefore, some interactive functionality
(such as launching a pager, asking if a failed unlink should be repeated
etc.) doesn't work when run in a terminal emulator that uses MSYS2's
ptys (such as mintty).

However, MSYS2 uses special names for its pty pipes ('msys-*-pty*'),
which allows us to distinguish them from normal piped input / output.

On startup, check if stdin / stdout / stderr are connected to such pipes
using the NtQueryObject API from NTDll.dll. If the names match, adjust
the flags in MSVCRT's ioinfo structure accordingly.

ed84387a6b Windows: only add a no-op pthread_sigmask() when needed
In f924b52 (Windows: add pthread_sigmask() that does nothing,
2016-05-01), we introduced a no-op for Windows. However, this breaks
building Git in Git for Windows' SDK because pthread_sigmask() is
already a no-op there, #define'd in the pthread_signal.h header in
/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/.

Let's wrap the definition of pthread_sigmask() in a guard that skips
it when compiling with MinGW-w64' headers.

ebf31e70bb mingw: remove unnecessary definition
For some reason, the definition of the MINGW version of
`mark_as_git_dir()` slipped into this developer's patch series to
support building Git for Windows.

As the `mark_as_git_dir()` function is not needed at all anymore (it was
used originally to support the core.hideDotFiles = gitDirOnly setting,
but we now use a different method to support that case), let's just
remove it.

f30afdabbf mingw: introduce the 'core.hideDotFiles' setting
On Unix (and Linux), files and directories whose names start with a dot
are usually not shown by default. This convention is used by Git: the
.git/ directory should be left alone by regular users, and only accessed
through Git itself.

On Windows, no such convention exists. Instead, there is an explicit flag
to mark files or directories as hidden.

In the early days, Git for Windows did not mark the .git/ directory (or
for that matter, any file or directory whose name starts with a dot)
hidden. This lead to quite a bit of confusion, and even loss of data.

Consequently, Git for Windows introduced the core.hideDotFiles setting,
with three possible values: true, false, and dotGitOnly, defaulting to
marking only the .git/ directory as hidden.

The rationale: users do not need to access .git/ directly, and indeed (as
was demonstrated) should not really see that directory, either. However,
not all dot files should be hidden by default, as e.g. Eclipse does not
show them (and the user would therefore be unable to see, say, a
.gitattributes file).

In over five years since the last attempt to bring this patch into core
Git, a slightly buggy version of this patch has served Git for Windows'
users well: no single report indicated problems with the hidden .git/
directory, and the stream of problems caused by the previously non-hidden
.git/ directory simply stopped. The bugs have been fixed during the
process of getting this patch upstream.

Note that there is a funny quirk we have to pay attention to when
creating hidden files: we use Win32's _wopen() function which
transmogrifies its arguments and hands off to Win32's CreateFile()
function. That latter function errors out with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (the
equivalent of EACCES) when the equivalent of the O_CREAT flag was passed
and the file attributes (including the hidden flag) do not match an
existing file's. And _wopen() accepts no parameter that would be
transmogrified into said hidden flag. Therefore, we simply try again
without O_CREAT.

A slightly different method is required for our fopen()/freopen()
function as we cannot even *remove* the implicit O_CREAT flag.
Therefore, we briefly mark existing files as unhidden when opening them
via fopen()/freopen().

The ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED error can also be triggered by opening a file
that is marked as a system file (which is unlikely to be tracked in
Git), and by trying to create a file that has *just* been deleted and is
awaiting the last open handles to be released (which would be handled
better by the "Try again?" logic, a story for a different patch series,
though). In both cases, it does not matter much if we try again without
the O_CREAT flag, read: it does not hurt, either.

For details how ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED can be triggered, see

f924b52a77 Windows: add pthread_sigmask() that does nothing
A previous change introduced a call to pthread_sigmask() in order to block
SIGPIPE in a thread. Since there are no signal facilities on Windows that
are similar to POSIX signals, just ignore the request to block the signal.
In the particular case, the effect of blocking SIGPIPE on POSIX is that
write() calls return EPIPE when the reader closes the pipe. This is how
write() behaves on Windows.
