doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc files
We presently use the ".txt" extension for our AsciiDoc files. While not
wrong, most editors do not associate this extension with AsciiDoc,
meaning that contributors don't get automatic editor functionality that
could be useful, such as syntax highlighting and prose linting.
It is much more common to use the ".adoc" extension for AsciiDoc files,
since this helps editors automatically detect files and also allows
various forges to provide rich (HTML-like) rendering. Let's do that
here, renaming all of the files and updating the includes where
relevant. Adjust the various build scripts and makefiles to use the new
extension as well.
Note that this should not result in any user-visible changes to the
documentation.

gitattributes: mark AsciiDoc files as LF-only
In a future commit, we'll move the AsciiDoc documentation files to the

to use only LF because they are read by generate-cmdlist.sh using the
read builtin.
If we allow CRLF here, the CR at the end of the line is treated as part
of the synopsis, since a POSIX shell doesn't consider it special like
LF. In that case, we generate synopsis strings in C that contain a CR,
which the compiler does not like because it believes that the double
quote string terminator is missing, and as a consequence, compilation
fails.
Because we rely on LF-only endings here to compile successfully and we
want Git to continue to be able to compile on Windows, mark these files
as LF-only in the .gitattributes file.

Merge branch 'ps/build-sign-compare'
Last-minute fix for a regression in "git blame --abbrev=<length>"
when insane <length> is specified; we used to correctly cap it to
the hash output length but broke it during the cycle.
* ps/build-sign-compare:
builtin/blame: fix out-of-bounds write with blank boundary commits
builtin/blame: fix out-of-bounds read with excessive `--abbrev`
"Why would one want to run it in parallel?" I hear you ask. I am glad
you are curious, because a curious story is what it is, indeed.
The `GIT-VERSION-GEN` script is quite a pillar of Git's source code,
with most lines being unchanged for the past 15 years. Until the v2.48.0
release candidate cycle.
Its original purpose was to generate the version string and store it in
the `GIT-VERSION-FILE`.
This paradigm changed quite dramatically when support for building with
Meson was introduced. Most crucially, a38edab7c88b (Makefile: generate
doc versions via GIT-VERSION-GEN, 2024-12-06) changed the way the
documentation is built by using the `GIT-VERSION-GEN` file to write out
the `asciidocor-extensions.rb` and `asciidoc.conf` files with now
hard-coded version strings.
Crucially, the Makefile rule to generate those files needs to be run in
every build because `GIT_VERSION` could have been specified in the
`make` command-line, which would require these files to be modified.
This introduced a surprising race condition!
And this is how that race surfaces: When calling `make -j2 html man`
from the top-level directory (a variant of which is invoked in Git for
Windows' release process), two sub-processes are spawned, a `make -C
Documentation html` one and a `make -C Documentation man` one. Both run
the rule to (re-)generate `asciidoctor-extensions.rb` or
`asciidoc.conf`, invoking `GIT-VERSION-GEN` to do so. That script first
generates a temporary file (appending the `+` character to the
filename), then looks whether it contains something different than the
already existing file (if it exists, that is), and either replaces it if
needed, or removes the temporary file. If one of the two parallel
invocations removes that temporary file before the other can compare it,
or even worse: if one tries to replace the target file just after the
other _started_ writing the temporary file (but did not finish writing
it yet), that race condition now causes bad builds.
This may sound highly theoretical, but due to the design of Git's build
process, Git for Windows is forced to use a (slow) POSIX emulation layer
to run that script and in the blink of an eye it becomes very much not
theoretical at all. See Exhibit A: These GitHub workflow runs failed
because one of the two competing `make` processes tried to remove the
temporary file when the other process had already done so:
While it is undesirable to run this script over and over again,
certainly when this involves above-mentioned slow POSIX emulation layer,
the stage of the release cycle in which we are presently finding
ourselves does not lend itself to a re-design where this script could be
run once, and once only, but instead dictates that a quick and reliable
work-around be implemented that prevents the race condition without
changing the overall architecture of the build process.
This patch does that: By using a filename suffix for the temporary file
which is based on the currently-executing script's process ID, We
guarantee that the two competing invocations cannot overwrite or remove
each others' temporary files.
The filename suffix still ends in `+` to ensure that the temporary
artifacts are matched by the `*+` pattern in `.gitignore` that was added
in f9bbaa384ef (Add intermediate build products to .gitignore,
2009-11-08).

builtin/blame: fix out-of-bounds write with blank boundary commits
When passing the `-b` flag to git-blame(1), then any blamed boundary
commits which were marked as uninteresting will not get their actual
commit ID printed, but will instead be replaced by a couple of spaces.
The flag can lead to an out-of-bounds write as though when combined with
`--abbrev=` when the abbreviation length is longer than `GIT_MAX_HEXSZ`
as we simply use memset(3p) on that array with the user-provided length
directly. The result is most likely that we segfault.
An obvious fix would be to cull `length` to `GIT_MAX_HEXSZ` many bytes.
But when the underlying object ID is SHA1, and if the abbreviated length
exceeds the SHA1 length, it would cause us to print more bytes than
desired, and the result would be misaligned.
Instead, fix the bug by computing the length via strlen(3p). This makes
us write as many bytes as the formatted object ID requires and thus
effectively limits the length of what we may end up printing to the
length of its hash. If `--abbrev=` asks us to abbreviate to something
shorter than the full length of the underlying hash function it would be
handled by the call to printf(3p) correctly.

builtin/blame: fix out-of-bounds read with excessive `--abbrev`
In 6411a0a896 (builtin/blame: fix type of `length` variable when
emitting object ID, 2024-12-06) we have fixed the type of the `length`
variable. In order to avoid a cast from `size_t` to `int` in the call to
printf(3p) with the "%.*s" formatter we have converted the code to
instead use fwrite(3p), which accepts the length as a `size_t`.
It was reported though that this makes us read over the end of the OID
array when the provided `--abbrev=` length exceeds the length of the
object ID. This is because fwrite(3p) of course doesn't stop when it
sees a NUL byte, whereas printf(3p) does.
Fix the bug by reverting back to printf(3p) and culling the provided
length to `GIT_MAX_HEXSZ` to keep it from overflowing when cast to an
`int`.

t-reftable-basics: allow for `malloc` to be `#define`d
As indicated by the `#undef malloc` line in `reftable/basics.h`, it is
quite common to use allocators other than the default one by defining
`malloc` constants and friends.
This pattern is used e.g. in Git for Windows, which uses the powerful
and performant `mimalloc` allocator.
Furthermore, in `reftable/basics.c` this `#undef malloc` is
_specifically_ disabled by virtue of defining the
`REFTABLE_ALLOW_BANNED_ALLOCATORS` constant before including
`reftable/basic.h`, to ensure that such a custom allocator is also used
in the reftable code.
However, in 8db127d43f5b (reftable: avoid leaks on realloc error,
2024-12-28) and in 2cca185e8517 (reftable: fix allocation count on
realloc error, 2024-12-28), `reftable_set_alloc()` function calls were
introduced that pass `malloc`, `realloc` and `free` function pointers as
parameters _after_ `reftable/basics.h` ensured that they were no longer
`#define`d. This would override the custom allocator and re-set it to
the default allocator provided by, say, libc or MSVCRT.
This causes problems because those calls happen after the initial
allocator has already been used to initialize an array, which is
subsequently resized using the overridden default `realloc()` allocator.
You cannot mix and match allocators like that, which leads to a
`STATUS_HEAP_CORRUPTION` (C0000374) on Windows, and when running this
unit test through shell and/or `prove` (which only support 7-bit status
codes), it surfaces as exit code 127.
It is actually unnecessary to use those function pointers to
`malloc`/`realloc`/`free`, though: The `reftable` code goes out of its
way to fall back to the initial allocator when passing `NULL` parameters
instead. So let's do that instead of causing heap corruptions.

The tilde character has a special meaning to asciidoc tools. In this

~/directory/file or ~u/d/f" and sets the text between them using

This is not a leak in our code, but appears to be a race between one
thread calling exit() while another one is in LSan's stack setup code.
You can reproduce it easily by running t0003 or t5309 with --stress
(these trigger it because of the threading in git-grep and index-pack
respectively).
This may be a bug in LSan, but regardless of whether it is eventually
fixed, it is useful to work around it so that we stop seeing these false

We can recognize it by the mention of the sanitizer functions in the

test-lib: check leak logs for presence of DEDUP_TOKEN
When we check the leak logs, our original strategy was to check for any
non-empty log file produced by LSan. We later amended that to ignore
noisy lines in 370ef7e40d (test-lib: ignore uninteresting LSan output,
2023-08-28).
This makes it hard to ignore noise which is more than a single line;
we'd have to actually parse the file to determine the meaning of each
line.
But there's an easy line-oriented solution. Because we always pass the
dedup_token_length option, the output will contain a DEDUP_TOKEN line
for each leak that has been found. So if we invert our strategy to stop
ignoring useless lines and only look for useful ones, we can just count
the number of DEDUP_TOKEN lines. If it's non-zero, then we found at
least one leak (it would even give us a count of unique leaks, but we
really only care if it is non-zero).
This should yield the same outcome, but will help us build more false

test-lib: rely on logs to detect leaks
When we run with sanitizers, we set abort_on_error=1 so that the tests
themselves can detect problems directly (when the buggy program exits
with SIGABRT). This has one blind spot, though: we don't always check
the exit codes for all programs (e.g., helpers like upload-pack invoked
behind the scenes).
For ASan and UBSan this is mostly fine; they exit as soon as they see an
error, so the unexpected abort of the program causes the test to fail
anyway.
But for LSan, the program runs to completion, since we can only check
for leaks at the end. And in that case we could miss leak reports. And
thus we started checking LSan logs in faececa53f (test-lib: have the
"check" mode for SANITIZE=leak consider leak logs, 2022-07-28).
Originally the logs were optional, but logs are generated (and checked)
always as of 8c1d6691bc (test-lib: GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG enabled by
default, 2024-07-11). And we even check them for each test snippet, as
of cf1464331b (test-lib: check for leak logs after every test,
2024-09-24).
So now aborting on error is superfluous for LSan! We can get everything
we need by checking the logs. And checking the logs is actually
preferable, since it gives us more control over silencing false
positives (something we do not yet do, but will soon).
So let's tell LSan to just exit normally, even if it finds leaks. We can
do so with exitcode=0, which also suppresses the abort_on_error flag.

bulk-checkin: fix segfault with unsafe SHA1 backend
In 1b9e9be8b4 (csum-file.c: use unsafe SHA-1 implementation when
available, 2024-09-26) we have converted our `struct hashfile` to use
the unsafe SHA1 backend, which results in a significant speedup. One
needs to be careful with how to use that structure now though because
callers need to consistently use either the safe or unsafe variants of
SHA1, as otherwise one can easily trigger corruption.
As it turns out, we have one inconsistent usage in our tree because we
directly initialize `struct hashfile_checkpoint::ctx` with the safe
variant of SHA1, but end up writing to that context with the unsafe
ones. This went unnoticed so far because our CI systems do not exercise
different hash functions for these two backends, and consequently safe
and unsafe variants are equivalent. But when using SHA1DC as safe and
OpenSSL as unsafe backend this leads to a crash an t1050:

As with the previous commit, we can fix this by inserting a barrier that
makes sure all threads have finished their setup before continuing. But
there's one twist in this case: the thread which calls die() is not one
of the worker threads, but the main thread itself!
So we need the main thread to wait in the barrier, too, until all
threads have gotten to it. And thus we initialize the barrier for
num_threads+1, to account for all of the worker threads plus the main
one.
If we then test as above, t0003 should run indefinitely.

index-pack: work around LSan threading race with barrier
We sometimes get false positives from our linux-leaks CI job because of
a race in LSan itself. The problem is that one thread is still
initializing its stack in LSan's code (and allocating memory to do so)
while anothe thread calls die(), taking down the whole process and
triggering a leak check.
The problem is described in more detail in 993d38a066 (index-pack: spawn
threads atomically, 2024-01-05), which tried to fix it by pausing worker
threads until all calls to pthread_create() had completed. But that's
not enough to fix the problem, because the LSan setup code runs in the
threads themselves. So even though pthread_create() has returned, we
have no idea if all threads actually finished their setup before letting
any of them do real work.
We can fix that by using a barrier inside the threads themselves,
waiting for all of them to hit the start of their main function before
any of them proceed.
You can test for the race by running:
make SANITIZE=leak THREAD_BARRIER_PTHREAD=YesOnLinux
cd t
./t5309-pack-delta-cycles.sh --stress
which fails quickly before this patch, and should run indefinitely

thread-utils: introduce optional barrier type
One thread primitive we don't yet support is a barrier: it waits for all
threads to reach a synchronization point before letting any of them
continue. This would be useful for avoiding the LSan race we see in
index-pack (and other places) by having all threads complete their
initialization before any of them start to do real work.
POSIX introduced a pthread_barrier_t in 2004, which does what we want.
But if we want to rely on it:
1. Our Windows pthread emulation would need a new set of wrapper
functions. There's a Synchronization Barrier primitive there, which
was introduced in Windows 8 (which is old enough for us to depend
on).
2. macOS (and possibly other systems) has pthreads but not
pthread_barrier_t. So there we'd have to implement our own barrier
based on the mutex and cond primitives.
Those are do-able, but since we only care about avoiding races in our
LSan builds, there's an easier way: make it a noop on systems without a
native pthread barrier.
This patch introduces a "maybe_thread_barrier" API. The clunky name
(rather than just using pthread_barrier directly) should hopefully clue
people in that on some systems it will do nothing. It's wired to a
Makefile knob which has to be triggered manually, and we enable it for
the linux-leaks CI jobs (since we know we'll have it there).
There are some other possible options:
- we could turn it on all the time for Linux systems based on uname.
But we really only care about it for LSan builds, and there is no
need to add extra code to regular builds.
- we could turn it on only for LSan builds. But that would break
builds on non-Linux platforms (like macOS) that otherwise should
support sanitizers.
- we could trigger only on the combination of Linux and LSan together.
This isn't too hard to do, but the uname check isn't completely
accurate. It is really about what your libc supports, and non-glibc
systems might not have it (though at least musl seems to).
So we'd risk breaking builds on those systems, which would need to
add a new knob. Though the upside would be that running local "make
SANITIZE=leak test" would be protected automatically.
And of course none of this protects LSan runs from races on systems
without pthread barriers. It's probably OK in practice to protect only
our CI jobs, though. The race is rare-ish and most leak-checking happens
through CI.

That commit was trying to solve a race between LSan setting up the
threads stack and another thread calling exit(), by making sure that all
pthread_create() calls have finished before doing any work that might
trigger the exit().
But that isn't sufficient. The setup code actually runs in the
individual threads themselves, not in the spawning thread's call to
pthread_create(). So while it may have improved the race a bit, you can
still trigger it pretty quickly with:
make SANITIZE=leak

test-lib: use individual lsan dir for --stress runs
When storing output in test-results/, we usually give each numbered run
in a --stress set its own output file. But we don't do that for storing
LSan logs, so something like:
./t0003-attributes.sh --stress
will have many scripts simultaneously creating, writing to, and deleting
the test-results/t0003-attributes.leak directory. This can cause logs
from one run to be attributed to another, spurious failures when
creation and deletion race, and so on.
This has always been broken, but nobody noticed because it's rare to do
a --stress run with LSan (since the point is for the code to run quickly
many times in order to hit races). But if you're trying to find a race
in the leak sanitizing code, it makes sense to use these together.
We can fix it by using $TEST_RESULTS_BASE, which already incorporates
the stress job suffix.

parse_names() avoids the leak by keeping the original pointer if

reftable_buf_add() does the same, but here it is a problem as it leaves

Our documentation contains a user manual that gives people a short
introduction to Git. Our Makefile knows to generate the manual into
three different formats: an HTML page, a PDF and an info page. The Meson
build instructions don't yet generate any of these.
While wiring up all these formats I hit a couple of road blocks with how
we generate our info pages. Even though I eventually resolved these, it
made me question whether anybody actually uses info pages in the first
place. Checking through a couple of downstream consumers I couldn't find
a single user of either the info pages nor of our PDF manual in Arch
Linux, Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, FreeBSD or OpenBSDFedora. So it's rather
safe to assume that there aren't really any users out there, and thus
the added complexity does not seem worth it.
Wire up support for building the user manual in HTML format and
conciously skip over the other two formats. This is basically a form of
silent deprecation: if people out there use the other two formats they
will eventually complain about them missing in Meson, which means we can
wire them up at a later point. If they don't we can phase out these
formats eventually.

When generating our user manual we set up a bit of extra configuration
compared to our normal configuration. This is done by having an extra
"user-manual.conf" file that Asciidoc seems to pull in automatically due
to matching filenames with "user-manual.txt". This dependency is quite
hidden though and thus easy to miss. Furthermore, it seems that Asciidoc
does not know to pull it in for out-of-tree builds where we use relative
paths.
The setup in AsciiDoctor is somewhat different: instead of having two
sets of configuration, we condition the use of manual-specific configs
based on whether the document type is "book". And as we only build our
user manual with that type this is sufficient.
Use the same trick for our user manual by inlining the configuration
into "asciidoc.conf.in" and making it conditional on whether or not
"doctype-book" is defined.

While our Makefile supports both Asciidoc and AsciiDoctor, our Meson
build instructions only support the former. Wire up support for the
latter, as well.
Our Makefile always favors Asciidoc, but Meson will automatically figure
out which of both to use based on whether they are installed or not. To
keep compatibility with our Makefile it favors Asciidoc over Asciidoctor
in case both are available.

In 7d549fe317 (meson: skip gitweb build when Perl is disabled,
2024-12-20) we have started to conditionally enable "gitweb" based on
whether or not Perl is enabled. By accident though that change causes us
to not build gitweb in case its feature flag is set to "auto" even if
autoconfiguration determines that it could be built. This is because we
use "gitweb_option.enabled()", which only checks whether the feature has
been explicitly enabled.
Fix the issue by using `gitweb_option.allowed()` instead, which returns
true in case it is either explicitly enabled or set to "auto". This also
works for the case where the feature becomes auto-disabled due to Perl
not being present because we use `disable_auto_if(not perl.found())`.

Building our "gitweb" interface is optional in our Makefile and in Meson
and not wired up at all with CMake, but disabling it causes a couple of
tests in the t950* range that pull in "t/lib-gitweb.sh". This is because
the test library knows to execute gitweb-tests based on whether or not
Perl is available, but we may have Perl available and still end up not
building gitweb e.g. with `make test NO_GITWEB=YesPlease`.
Fix this issue by wiring up a new "NO_GITWEB" build option so that we
can skip these tests in case gitweb is not built.
Note that this new build option requires us to move the configuration of
GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS to a later point in our Meson build instructions. But
as that file is only consumed by our tests at runtime this change does
not cause any issues.

The variables declared and substituted in GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS are not
ordered in any obvious way. Sort them alphabetically so that it becomes
obvious where new variables should go.

t7611: replace test -f with test_path_is* helpers
Replace `test -f` and `test ! -f` with `test_path_is_file` and
`test_path_is_missing` for better debuggability.
While `test -f` ensures that the file exists and is a regular file,
`test_path_is_file` provides clearer error messages on failure.
On the other hand, `test ! -f` checks either the absence of a regular
file or the presence of any other filesystem object, but looking at
them in the test individually, all of them should've said `test ! -e`,
i.e. "there shouldn't be anything at given path on filesystem."
Replace these cases with `test_path_is_missing` for better
debuggability.

Hopefully the final batch before 2.48-rc1
Let's wait for git-gui, gitk, and possibly po/ and delay the tagging
of the -rc1. Many people are already offline for the end-of-year
holidays and it is a slow week, and 'master' front has too many new
things graduated from 'next' a bit too early for me to feel
comfortable.
