t/Makefile: teach `make test` and `make prove` to run chainlint.pl
Unlike chainlint.sed which "lints" a single test body at a time, thus is
invoked once per test, chainlint.pl can check all test bodies in all
test scripts with a single invocation. As such, it is akin to other bulk
"linters" run by the Makefile, such as `test-lint-shell-syntax`,
`test-lint-duplicates`, etc.
Therefore, teach `make test` and `make prove` to invoke chainlint.pl
along with the other bulk linters. Also, since the single chainlint.pl
invocation by `make test` or `make prove` has already checked all tests
in all scripts, instruct the individual test scripts not to run
chainlint.pl on themselves unnecessarily.

test-lib: replace chainlint.sed with chainlint.pl
By automatically invoking chainlint.sed upon each test it runs,
`test_run_` in test-lib.sh ensures that broken &&-chains will be
detected early as tests are modified or new are tests created since it
is typical to run a test script manually (i.e. `./t1234-test-script.sh`)
during test development. Now that the implementation of chainlint.pl is
complete, modify test-lib.sh to invoke it automatically instead of
chainlint.sed each time a test script is run.
This change reduces the number of "linter" invocations from 26800+ (once
per test run) down to 1050+ (once per test script), however, a
subsequent change will drop the number of invocations to 1 per `make
test`, thus fully realizing the benefit of the new linter.
Note that the "magic exit code 117" &&-chain checker added by bb79af9d09
(t/test-lib: introduce --chain-lint option, 2015-03-20) which is built
into t/test-lib.sh is retained since it has near zero-cost and

test-lib: retire "lint harder" optimization hack
`test_run_` in test-lib.sh "lints" the body of a test by sending it down
a `sed chainlint.sed | grep` pipeline; this happens once for each test
run by a test script. Although this pipeline may seem relatively cheap
in isolation, it can become expensive when invoked 26800+ times by `make
test`, once for each test run, despite the existence of only 16500+ test
definitions across all tests scripts.
This difference in the number of tests defined in the scripts (16500+)
and the number of tests actually run by `make test` (26800+) is
explained by the fact that some test scripts run a very large number of
small tests, all driven by a series of functions/loops which fill in the
test bodies. This means that certain test definitions are being linted
repeatedly (tens or hundreds of times) unnecessarily. To avoid such
unnecessary work, 2d86a96220 (t: avoid sed-based chain-linting in some
expensive cases, 2021-05-13) added an optimization hack which allows
individual scripts to manually suppress the unnecessary repeated linting
of the same test definition.
However, unlike chainlint.sed which checks a test body as the test is
run, chainlint.pl checks each test definition just once, no matter how
many times the test is run, thus the sort of optimization hack
introduced by 2d86a96220 is no longer needed and can be retired.
Therefore, revert 2d86a96220.

* behavior of the lexical analyzer for complex cases, such as line

chainlint.sed
* address blind spots in chainlint.sed (such as not detecting a broken

correctly detects

chainlint.pl: allow `|| echo` to signal failure upstream of a pipe
The use of `|| return` (or `|| exit`) to signal failure within a loop
isn't effective when the loop is upstream of a pipe since the pipe
swallows all upstream exit codes and returns only the exit code of the
final command in the pipeline.
To work around this limitation, tests may adopt an alternative strategy
of signaling failure by emitting text which would never be emitted in
the non-failing case. For instance:
while condition
do
command1 &&
command2 ||
echo "impossible text"
done |
sort >actual &&
Such usage indicates deliberate thought about failure cases by the test
author, thus flagging them as missing `|| return` (or `|| exit`) is not
helpful. Therefore, take this case into consideration when checking for
explicit loop termination.

chainlint.pl: complain about loops lacking explicit failure handling
Shell `for` and `while` loops do not terminate automatically just
because a command fails within the loop body. Instead, the loop
continues to iterate and eventually returns the exit status of the final
command of the final iteration, which may not be the command which
failed, thus it is possible for failures to go undetected. Consequently,
it is important for test authors to explicitly handle failure within the
loop body by terminating the loop manually upon failure. This can be
done by returning a non-zero exit code from within the loop body
(i.e. `|| return 1`) or exiting (i.e. `|| exit 1`) if the loop is within
a subshell, or by manually checking `$?` and taking some appropriate
action. Therefore, add logic to detect and complain about loops which

t/Makefile: apply chainlint.pl to existing self-tests
Now that chainlint.pl is functional, take advantage of the existing
chainlint self-tests to validate its operation. (While at it, stop
validating chainlint.sed against the self-tests since it will soon be
retired.)
Due to chainlint.sed implementation limitations leaking into the
self-test "expect" files, a few of them require minor adjustment to make
them compatible with chainlint.pl which does not share those
limitations.
First, because `sed` does not provide any sort of real recursion,
chainlint.sed only emulates recursion into subshells, and each level of
recursion leads to a multiplicative increase in complexity of the `sed`
rules. To avoid substantial complexity, chainlint.sed, therefore, only
emulates subshell recursion one level deep. Any subshell deeper than
that is passed through as-is, which means that &&-chains are not checked
in deeper subshells. chainlint.pl, on the other hand, employs a proper
recursive descent parser, thus checks subshells to any depth and
correctly flags broken &&-chains in deep subshells.
Second, due to sed's line-oriented nature, chainlint.sed, by necessity,
folds multi-line quoted strings into a single line. chainlint.pl, on the
other hand, employs a proper lexical analyzer which preserves quoted
strings as-is, including embedded newlines.
Furthermore, the output of chainlint.sed and chainlint.pl do not match
precisely in terms of whitespace. However, since the purpose of the
self-checks is to verify that the ?!AMP?! annotations are being
correctly added, minor whitespace differences are immaterial. For this
reason, rather than adjusting whitespace in all existing self-test
"expect" files to match the new linter's output, the `check-chainlint`
target ignores whitespace differences. Since `diff -w` is not POSIX,
`check-chainlint` attempts to employ `git diff -w`, and only falls back
to non-POSIX `diff -w` (and `-u`) if `git diff` is not available.

chainlint.pl: don't require `return|exit|continue` to end with `&&`
In order to check for &&-chain breakage, each time TestParser encounters
a new command, it checks whether the previous command ends with `&&`,
and -- with a couple exceptions -- signals breakage if it does not. The
first exception is that a command may validly end with `||`, which is
commonly employed as `command || return 1` at the very end of a loop
body to terminate the loop early. The second is that piping one
command's output with `|` to another command does not constitute a
&&-chain break (the exit status of the pipe is the exit status of the
final command in the pipe).
However, it turns out that there are a few additional cases found in the
wild in which it is likely safe for `&&` to be missing even when other
commands follow. For instance:
while {condition-1}
do
test {condition-2} || return 1 # or `exit 1` within a subshell
more-commands
done
while {condition-1}
do
test {condition-2} || continue
more-commands
done
Such cases indicate deliberate thought about failure modes by the test
author, thus flagging them as breaking the &&-chain is not helpful.

t: add skeleton chainlint.pl
Although chainlint.sed usefully identifies broken &&-chains in tests, it
has several shortcomings which include:
* only detects &&-chain breakage in subshells (one-level deep)
* does not check for broken top-level &&-chains; that task is left to
the "magic exit code 117" checker built into test-lib.sh, however,
that detection does not extend to `{...}` blocks, `$(...)`
expressions, or compound statements such as `if...fi`,
`while...done`, `case...esac`
* uses heuristics, which makes it (potentially) fallible and difficult
to tweak to handle additional real-world cases
* written in `sed` and employs advanced `sed` operators which are
probably not well-known to many programmers, thus the pool of people
who can maintain it is likely small
* manually simulates recursion into subshells which makes it much more
difficult to reason about than, say, a traditional top-down parser
* checks each test as the test is run, which can get expensive for
tests which are run repeatedly by functions or loops since their
bodies will be checked over and over (tens or hundreds of times)
unnecessarily
To address these shortcomings, begin implementing a more functional and
precise test linter which understands shell syntax and semantics rather
than employing heuristics, thus is able to recognize structural problems
with tests beyond broken &&-chains.
The new linter is written in Perl, thus should be more accessible to a
wider audience, and is structured as a traditional top-down parser which
makes it much easier to reason about, and allows it to inspect compound
statements within test bodies to any depth.
Furthermore, it can check all test definitions in the entire project in
a single invocation rather than having to be invoked once per test, and
each test definition is checked only once no matter how many times the
test is actually run.
At this stage, the new linter is just a skeleton containing boilerplate
which handles command-line options, collects and reports statistics, and
feeds its arguments -- paths of test scripts -- to a (presently)
do-nothing script parser for validation. Subsequent changes will flesh
out the functionality.

xdiff: drop unused mmfile parameters from xdl_do_patience_diff()
The entry point to the patience-diff algorithm takes two mmfile_t
structs with the original file contents, but it doesn't actually do
anything useful with them. This is similar to the case recently cleaned
up in the histogram code via f1d019071e (xdiff: drop unused mmfile
parameters from xdl_do_histogram_diff(), 2022-08-19), but there's a bit
more subtlety going on.
We pass them into the recursive patience_diff(), which in turn passes
them into fill_hashmap(), which stuffs the pointers into a struct. But
the only thing which reads the struct fields is our recursion into
patience_diff()!
So it's unlikely that something like -Wunused-parameter could find this
case: it would have to detect the circular dependency caused by the
recursion (not to mention tracing across struct field assignments).
But once found, it's easy to have the compiler confirm what's going on:
1. Drop the "file1" and "file2" fields from the hashmap struct
definition. Remove the assignments in fill_hashmap(), and
temporarily substitute NULL in the recursive call to
patience_diff(). Compiling shows that no other code touched those
fields.
2. Now fill_hashmap() will trigger -Wunused-parameter. Drop "file1"
and "file2" from its definition and callsite.
3. Now patience_diff() will trigger -Wunused-parameter. Drop them
there, too. One of the callsites is the recursion with our
NULL values, so those temporary values go away.
4. Now xdl_do_patience_diff() will trigger -Wunused-parameter. Drop
them there. And we're done.

scalar: constrain enlistment search
Make the search for repository and enlistment root in
'setup_enlistment_directory()' more constrained to simplify behavior and
adhere to 'GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES'.
Previously, 'setup_enlistment_directory()' would check whether the provided
path (or current working directory) '<dir>' or its subdirectory '<dir>/src'
was a repository root. If not, the process would repeat on the parent of
'<dir>' until the repository was found or it reached the root of the
filesystem. This meant that a user could specify a path *anywhere* inside an
enlistment (including paths not in the repository contained within the
enlistment) and it would be found.
The downside to this process is that the search would not account for
'GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES', so the upward search could result in modifying
repository contents past 'GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES'. Similarly, operations
like 'scalar delete' could end up unintentionally deleting the parent of a
repo if its root was named 'src'.
To make this 'setup_enlistment_directory()' both adhere to
'GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES' and avoid unwanted deletions, the search for an
enlistment directory is simplified to:
- if '<dir>/src' is a repository root, '<dir>' is the enlistment root
- if '<dir>' is either the repository root or contained within a repository,
the repository root is the enlistment root
Now, only 'setup_git_directory()' (called by 'setup_enlistment_directory()')
searches upwards from the 'scalar' specified path, enforcing
'GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES' in the process. Additionally, 'scalar delete
<dir>/src' will not delete '<dir>' (if users would like to delete it, they
can still specify the enlistment root with 'scalar delete <dir>'). This is
true of any 'scalar' operation; users can invoke 'scalar' on the enlistment
root, but paths must otherwise be inside the repository to be valid.
To help clarify the updated behavior, new tests are added to
't9099-scalar.sh'.
Finally, this change leaves 'strbuf_parent_directory()' with only a single,
WIN32-specific caller in 'delete_enlistment()'. Rather than wrap
'strbuf_parent_directory()' in '#ifdef WIN32' to avoid the "unused function"
compiler error, move the contents of 'strbuf_parent_directory()' into
'delete_enlistment()' and remove the function.

never set it to a valid value and yet still use it, which can be
surprising when reading over the code at first. Initialize it instead
to the generic CONFLICT_SUBMODULE_FAILED_TO_MERGE value, which is still
distinct from the two values we need to special case.

merge-ort: remove translator lego in new "submodule conflict suggestion"
In commit 4057523a40 ("submodule merge: update conflict error message",
2022-08-04), the new "submodule conflict suggestion" code was
translating 6 different pieces of the new message and then used
carefully crafted logic to allow stitching it back together with special
formatting. Keep the components of the message together as much as
possible, so that:
* we reduce the number of things translators have to translate
* translators have more control over the format of the output
* the code is much easier for developers to understand too
Also, reformat some comments running beyond the 80th column while at it.

pipe_command(): mark stdin descriptor as non-blocking
Our pipe_command() helper lets you both write to and read from a child
process on its stdin/stdout. It's supposed to work without deadlocks
because we use poll() to check when descriptors are ready for reading or
writing. But there's a bug: if both the data to be written and the data
to be read back exceed the pipe buffer, we'll deadlock.
The issue is that the code assumes that if you have, say, a 2MB buffer
to write and poll() tells you that the pipe descriptor is ready for
writing, that calling:
write(cmd->in, buf, 2*1024*1024);
will do a partial write, filling the pipe buffer and then returning what
it did write. And that is what it would do on a socket, but not for a
pipe. When writing to a pipe, at least on Linux, it will block waiting
for the child process to read() more. And now we have a potential
deadlock, because the child may be writing back to us, waiting for us to
read() ourselves.
The diff against HEAD~200 will be big, and the filter wants to write all
of it back to us (obviously this is a dummy filter, but in the real
world something like diff-highlight would similarly stream back a big
output).
If you set add.interactive.useBuiltin to false, the problem goes away,
because now we're not using pipe_command() anymore (instead, that part
happens in perl). But this isn't a bug in the interactive code at all.
It's the underlying pipe_command() code which is broken, and has been
all along.
We presumably didn't notice because most calls only do input _or_
output, not both. And the few that do both, like gpg calls, may have
large inputs or outputs, but never both at the same time (e.g., consider
signing, which has a large payload but a small signature comes back).
The obvious fix is to put the descriptor into non-blocking mode, and
indeed, that makes the problem go away. Callers shouldn't need to
care, because they never see the descriptor (they hand us a buffer to
feed into it).
The included test fails reliably on Linux without this patch. Curiously,
it doesn't fail in our Windows CI environment, but has been reported to
do so for individual developers. It should pass in any environment after
this patch (courtesy of the compat/ layers added in the last few
commits).

pipe_command(): handle ENOSPC when writing to a pipe
When write() to a non-blocking pipe fails because the buffer is full,
POSIX says we should see EAGAIN. But our mingw_write() compat layer on
Windows actually returns ENOSPC for this case. This is probably
something we want to correct, but given that we don't plan to use
non-blocking descriptors in a lot of places, we can work around it by
just catching ENOSPC alongside EAGAIN. If we ever do fix mingw_write(),
then this patch can be reverted.
We don't actually use a non-blocking pipe yet, so this is still just
preparation.
